This little thing is me trying to get back into writing. I have had a lot going on this past month. Finals were last week and I was really stressed!
Plus writers block hit me along the way so I have had a hard time trying to finish chapter six of Crimson Night! If you guys have any suggestions about chapter six, then please, I would love to hear them!
Enjoy!
Forty years.
It had been forty years since that fateful night in London. The war, the Nazi's, Section thirteen, and the Hellsing Organization.
Even now London's economy was still trying to recover and the new queen of London was trying to do what she could for her country.
At least that is what she thought. Seras had not been back to London in five years. Integra had passed away five years ago in the winter, the beginning of December.
The Hellsing had died before she could see her pet vampire again. Alucard had not returned in time. However Integra did tell Seras what she wanted her to say to Alucard once he returned.
He was free of the Hellsing bloodline and would leave humanity alone. If the human race did find out about vampires or if Vatican Thirteen waged war again, then he could fight back.
Red eyes gazed out into the forest beyond.
Seras looked to the red moon in silence, wonder when her master would return. It had been a lonely forty years without him. If gave her enough time to figure out her feelings for him.
She was in love with him.
Seras did not know when it had happened and she did not care. The only thing she cared about was seeing him again. Telling him her feelings and hopefully he would reply in kind.
She stood on the balcony of her room. The highest room in the castle.
In Integra's will she had left most of the fortune to Seras and she left England. She made her new home in Romania, Transylvania. She had a castle built within the Carpathian Mountains, close to where Castle Dracula once stood.
Her master would be surprised once he came back to see where he was. She longed for that day to come.
Seras looked out over the mountains and to the forest and just gazed at the silent nature around her. Her senses picking up the servants she had hired, walking around, and one of her closest friends. Seras smiled, feeling the dragon's power fluctuate as she trained.
Tara had come to the Hellsing organization a few months after the war in London. The decrease in life force of the human race from the war and the disappearance of Alucard had awoken her from a long sleep. She had been a wonderful friend and ally to the organization, helping with the rebuild of the manor.
It had shocked Seras at first when she had met the dragon. Tara had been a friend of Alucard's before his enslavement of the Hellsing family. Integra was skeptical of the ancient mythical creature. However the two came fast friends and all three of them spent time together on most nights.
Tara had fled England with Seras once Integra had passed and helped with the building of the castle.
Seras looked down at herself and smiled. Gone was the hellsing uniform and in its place was a crimson colored Victorian style dress. It hugged her waist and flared out at the hips for easy movement. A black cape hung off her shoulders and clasped together in the front. Silver jewelry hung from her neck and ears with a silver bracelet on her left wrist. Her hair was still spiked on top of her head but the back was a little past her shoulders.
Suddenly she felt a spike of power and her eyes widened.
It was time.
After about three minutes she felt a presence invade her mind.
"Seras… it's time. He has returned. Come quick." Tara voice said within her mind and Seras breathed out slowly trying to calm herself.
Her master, Alucard, Dracula, the No-Life King had returned.
Darkness.
Nothing put the cold and vast emptiness surrounded him.
Alucard had just killed the last of his remaining souls within his body. The ones from when he was first turned into a vampire. The enemy army fell to him once again, never to return.
He looked around himself as a feeling began to grow inside of him. Loneliness and sadness mixed into one. It built up and up until it felt like it would consume him whole.
The darkness closed in around him. Trying to drag him down to the darkest part of himself that he had no intention of going.
He had a new life to begin. One where he would get a second chance to be himself. The human part of him that he had not seen or been since he became a vampire. His humanity was still intact. It was just hidden behind all the darkness of the millions of souls within him.
Suddenly he saw two figures appear from the shadows in front of him. They were walking from his left to his right. One shadow was a woman with blond hair and stood about five feet four inches. The other was shorter, probably around five years old with black hair.
He could clearly see their bodies and hair but the shadows hid their faces from him. The two females were holding hands and walking close to each other. A
Mother and her daughter, he soon realized. They were laughing.
Was this a dream or a figment of his imagination? Alucard did not know.
"Mother…" a voice said. Alucard realized it was the small girl before him.
"Yes, sweat heart?" the woman asked in a voice that sounded familiar.
"When is daddy going to come back?" the girl asked and Alucard made his way to the pair. They had not turned from him and were walking away.
"He should be back soon." The mother said softly as she rubbed the girl's hair gently.
"I wish he would hurry…"
"You know what your farther does is important. He is just trying to keep you safe from the humans." The blond woman answered.
"But mother!" the little five year old protested.
"Alana… please. Your farther just wants the best for you... you are his princess." The woman kneeled to her daughter and place her had on top of the girls head.
"… Yes mother." Alana whispered.
"Come… it's time for dinner." They both began walking as they made their way toward Alucard as he now had stopped walking and was in front of them.
The shadows began to dissipate as a light began to grow from behind the two females. The girl came into view first.
Black hair, red eyes, and a soft pale looking face. Black dress that covered the arms and legs hung on her body. A small silver tiara was woven into her hair. A black stuffed dog was held in one hand as she looked toward her mother. Her facial structure looked similar to someone he knew but could not place from who.
As he gazed at the girl Alucard felt a warm feeling envelop his chest. He felt an overwhelming urge to hold and protect the little girl. Like he would do anything to see her smile.
As the light behind the two became brighter he felt himself begin to feel weak and light headed. He turned his attention to the blond woman and he gazed into her face.
Alucard froze. If he was human his heart would have stopped.
It was Seras Victoria.
She looked more mature. Motherhood hardening her youthful appearance. She was no longer the sniveling fledgling but a true vampire, a No-Life Queen.
She wore a red victorian style dress with silver jewelry and a silver crown on top of her head. A black cape around her shoulders.
He just stared. He could not believe how… beautiful she was.
The golden light became so bright that he had to shield his eyes as he gazed at the two. Before he lost consciousness he heard the last thing he would ever thought he would hear.
"Your father… Alucard will be back Alana. He would not dare be away from his dark princess." Seras said as she hugged the girl.
"He would not be away from you either mother. You are his mate and Queen. He loves you!" Alana said with a smile.
He saw was both females smile at him. It was like they knew he was there all along.
Seras smiled at him, "Come home Alucard."
He reached out with his hand to grab her but the light enveloped him completely.
He came to his senses. He opened his eyes as he gazed at the inside of his coffin. He slowly pushed it open and looked around.
A kind sized bed was close to the wall. A black dresser lend against the wall close to the bedroom door that was across from him. His coffin was set in the middle of the room. Double doors leading to a balcony were to his left with red drapes over them. Another door was on the far wall led to a bathroom.
He continued to gaze around in confusion. Where was he? Why did he not since Integra? What was going on!?
"I see you are finally awake." A voice said and he raised his head up.
A woman with back hair with blue eyes stared at him. She was wearing a black mermaid style dress with silver accents.
"Who are you?" Alucard asked in a deadly tone.
"I'm hurt Alucard. It has not been that long since we last saw each other." The woman said with smirk as she crossed her arms over her chest.
He just glared.
"Fine. Look at me with your third eye and tell me who I am." The woman said.
He hesitated and then his powers spiked as he looked at her, third eye activated.
He saw the woman, then she began to morph into something else. A creature with wings, a tail, red scales, and yellow eyes.
His eyes widened in surprise.
"Evana!?" he whispered.
She smiled, "I have not gone by that name in years. It is Tara now." The dragon in human form said.
"Where am I?" he asked as he stood from his coffin.
"Don't worry. I will let Se… oh here she is now." Tara said as he looked to her left, facing the wall with the bathroom door.
Shadows came to life, opening a portal. A figure stepped out into the room, the portal closing behind them.
Alucard was stunned.
Seras Victoria stood before him just like he saw her in his dream. The same long hair, red dress, but without the silver crown.
Her crimson eyes locked with his and he was caught within them. He saw her studying him and she smiled slightly.
"Welcome back Alucard… it has been forty long years. I welcome you to my castle."
The No-Life King was stunned speechless.
Forty years.
