Disclaimer: I don't own Hellsing. If I did, I'd alter it a little to...oh, I dunno, explain things, extend it to more than just 13 episodes, and throw Seras and Alucard more at each other to develop some things, along with more chaos. Heaven knows I got some screws loose and jingling around in my skull to spare.
Warning: Some may not like my style of writing, and also this will be kind of a dark one I think. The characters may/are going to act a bit out of themselves like we've seen so far in the series.
I respect highly of other couplings of Hellsing that are here in and people's opinions and I sort of expect the same in return for mine.
Disclaimer: I don't own Hellsing (geeze, only the second chapter and already I'm getting tired of saying this).

Chapter One: Ich tappe im Dunkeln
-l-
The sound of grinding and creaking echoed in the hallow cold of the stilled room. Easily the air had been stirred from its comfortable heavy places where they rested, but moved way then to make room for a sharp contrast of soft dandelion color against the darkness as a shapely body leaned against the support of the metal door frame heavily. It was the form of a maturing female clad in a dark purple uniform that was a military blue before she had gone to do her duties of hunting down those that were not meant for this world. Some of the dark color had gotten to her hair and face, and mostly her hands.
It was just about any other night. She would come down from the surface through the manor of the Hellsing family, into the home of her room, shower, reluctantly partake of the pack encasing the blood in the ice bucket set on the table for her as food, and sleep for the duration of the sun's being out.
But today was different.
For two jewel orbs that were once so blue as the shimmering ocean waters still held their wide innocence, despite the hue of dark crimson to rival the fluids that fuels the living. The color of her hair and red eyes complimented with her pale, smooth and young skin.
Today?
Today they were dull. The contours of her childish face had lines beginning to etch themselves into the supple flesh and around her eyes mostly, drawing exhaustion and signing in a dragging of fatigue language. Her energy was to the floor and a little beyond just as her feet had been towing slowly on the ground, trudging their way to carry their owner to the coffin bed laid to the heavy stone wall.
Her eyes were barely holding any of their usual chipper light that was apart of her bouncy personality as they didn't even cast a mere glance at the blood set out for her and just closed over in immediate sleep before she hit the covers of the bed/covers; still dirtied up and the stench of death and battle ever clinging to her structure.
Seras Victoria didn't care if she was supposed to report to the head of the Hellsing family or not. She was dead tired, the pun purely intended with how she felt.
-l-
"So she's not coming, is she?" The strong leader of the Hellsing Organization, Sir Integral Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing mumbled flatly, tapping a gloved finger on the dark, rich wooden surface of the desk while the other hand supported her chin. It was the only thing she would let on to show her growing annoyance,
"Maybe I should put a seal on her and then punish her like I would Alucard when he's done something wrong. It'll do much more than work for me and will lessen up my headaches by 25 percent."
Her as well as her family's faithful and very wise retainer that was present in the room, making her morning tea, Walter C. Dornez, chuckled shortly at that, "My, my, Sir Intergra. Come now, it's not all that bad. Although, two vampires do seem to be a bit troubling every once in a while..."
The woman took out her box of cigars, waving the elder man off and lit it herself, taking a long inhale of one, "Exactly. I thought Alucard was a handful. Recently Seras is starting to fit into the same general category of the word 'troublesome', but for different reasons."
Integra brought the cigar up to her mouth again, continuing and he listened quietly, "Granted she gets the job done with whatever missions I give her and keeps most of the casualties on our side to a low minimum, but she fails to report to me like she used to at the start of her working with us. She also phases out of the briefing more and more now."
Light steel blue eyes then opened to look at very much nothing in the room and focus on it through the circle glasses she wore, her brows furrowing in a bit with concern, "Just what is going on with that draculina...if she doesn't snap out of it soon, she's going to endanger the missions and the Hellsing Organizations...and possibly herself..."
The butler's hand gingerly set down the small dish with the tea cup on it in front of his mistress. It was white and adorned with weaving green vines and leaves with a few dark red violet flowers while from inside the cup arose the lazy spiral heat in its seeable gas form.
Simple as it was, the simplicity of it all was not currently appreciated, and it was laced in Integra's voice, rubbing her temple as it gave a throb,
"This can't be good for my blood pressure. My doctor's going to have a field day."

Darkness hung about, invading the air, the walls, the floor, everything; threatening on consuming and swallowing up a single candle that was lit on the dark wooden table set in the middle of the room. A small flame, but it did well enough to hold its own against the dimness, flickering in protest with whatever movement would dare stir in this space of a cell-like chamber. It produced a halo around itself as the first barrier, but it was up against a fairly large amount of darkness and therefore rendered weak in most eyes. Still, it waged on, clinging onto its little life in this world, even when no one was looking.
"The battle of light and darkness is eternal...how tiresome and repetitive..."
The bright teardrop twitched a little at those words, almost in slight cowering at the deep tones that were underlined with something just less than a mere scratch away under the surface. Shadows and the dropped temperatures that were weaving around in a predator-like manner in the room also pulled away slightly just the same.
It was a horrible something the world and majority of its inhabitants were more than not ready for.
The voice was also hinted over with a bored tenor since the possessor had finished their meal of dark red liquid for the while now with the empty wine glass next to the candle to prove of that.
"Darkness will always consume the light as well can the light do the same to darkness. Amazing anything still exists if there's always contradiction in this accursed thing called 'life'."
A spread of a lopsided grin suddenly became visible through the darkness just under a pair of lustrous crimson eyes as the infamous vampire, Alucard, weaved his white gloved fingers with each other on his legs that were crossed. He was sitting again at his throne-like chair with his trench coat of red over his shoulders. All would be in place of his usual attire save for his yellow sunglasses and fedora hat which he willed away with a thought.
Alucard continued on with his soliloquy, "Sounds a lot like one that is still at odd ends with themselves, despite how long she's been here with me and even more so when I turned her."
He then let the stretch of his lips falter over his sharp fangs as the elder Nosferatu placed a fist at his cheek, elbow resting on the arm of the furniture, "Speaking of my fledgling...she's been rather quiet as of late and taking my words without protest...even my master's loud thoughts are about Fukei's behavior."
With that, Alucard stood to his riding boot-covered feet and effortlessly tapped into his powers reserve, brought out the ability that let him choose to phase through whatever that was in his path, and leaving the darkness and light of his room to fight as they've always had.

I'm running...
Where am I running...? Why am I running?

...M...Master...please...someone...someone...

Alucard's smirk and eyes slightly of wide appreciation and pride lined with exhilaration at the site of his dirty little draculina still drenched in the blood from the ghouls of the earlier mission activity while he loomed over her curvy form, but they both soon fell away when he took a peek into her nightmarish mind. His mouth turned down into a vague frown and his eyes narrowed slightly in thought. Alucard had anticipated such a conflict going on, but this has exceeded what he had hypothesized.
As much as the ebony haired vampire wanted this to happen and for Seras to be rid of more of what was left of her humanity, this rate and magnitude wasn't what he had been expecting.
His fledgling made a soft sounded whimper in fear as her mind continued to progress downward with time ticking by slowly, each passing minute adding a little more to the intensity. She curled her body inwardly to a fetal position that made Alucard tighten his jaw and then two thin trails of red flowed from the corner of her eyes, staining the already bloody bed and sheets beneath her head. His keen eyes caught onto that, as well as how it was a sharper difference against the ivory shade of Seras' skin that was unhealthier now than what should be...if it was possible for a vampire with fair tones.
'...Police girl...' Alucard had softly called out in his mind almost absently, but gently nonetheless as he continued to watch her struggle. As if she didn't wasn't troubled enough in her human life, it was only starting to get worse, and he was faintly coming to terms with that.
Further notes on the matter began to bubble up, but he stowed it, pushing it back down to whatever depths they had spawned from in his chaotic labyrinth of a brain and let out a small sigh. This was going to need some contemplation, but he could feel the sun start to arise for the new day; closer and closer and he knew better than to deny his own need of rest.
He glanced back down at her again. His crimson gaze had been veered away to take in her bloody figure again in particular areas before, which he scowled at then when he realized the feeling of excitement trying to tug at the corners of his lips at the crimson mess on her, but more so to himself for allowing the feeling reign for a few moments.
Reaching out his right hand finally, Alucard brushed the strands of hair that fell into her face lightly, fingers lingering for only a second then rested his palm on the bed, summoning his powers to respond. The sheets, pillow, and the Police Girl's clothes became as they would be newly made; voided of any blood or trace of being tainted in an instant at his call. They appeared to be washed to the side and out of site.
Alucard laid the tips of his gloved index and middle fingers against Seras' temple and coaxed a calming into her turmoil and stormed mind, soothing her heightened feelings of anxiety like a baby laying down slowly into a crib to sleep; kind and nurturing. This got the reaction that he intended and the female relaxed under his touch and influence, being lulled into a now dreamless and silent slumber. The lines from before that marred her young features from her torment was gone and replaced with a peaceful look, breathing in and out easily and evenly.
The Nosferatu shook his head with a slight chuckle. He then leaned down closer, his hand on her hair that went clean under his glove, and knowing well that Seras was in too deep to be woken up by anything at the moment, touched his tongue to the trails of her bloody tears and slid them along the flesh till her face looked untouched by anything like before.
"...Master..."
Alucard pulled back abruptly at the whisper and puff of exhalation than ran so close to him in slight surprise, blinking once then let a small grin tug at the corner of his lips as his fledgling had only talked in her sleep, nothing more. There was also a smile of the dandelion female's own to go with her utterance that earned a second deep chuckle from the man as he stood up from kneeling on the floor.
"You're a wonder, Police girl. Sometimes it's you that is the enigma."
And with that, he faded from Seras' room into his own. By that short amount of time, Alucard's left hand was on his chin and his right holding the other's elbow to support as he began to think again, wondering back to what he saw in the girl's psyche.
There was a pattern he had noticed, no doubt about that. These nightmares she would have would only occur when she slept, but they were gradually getting stronger and it was taking a toll on the vampiress physically and not just mentally. Through their connection he could feel her energy start to flux on an up and down scale, but the down was getting deeper each day. She had also rejected taking her rare blood once again for a number of nights now and that was another mark to be taken.
Seras was also showing signs of an overkill mode more and more often, which he didn't deny he was fond of seeing, but it was getting to the point where he had to intervene in some form to prevent her from turning round on the Hellsing men and rip them apart. This happened just last night and, fortunately, his master Integra doesn't know of it yet. Should she find out, there may be more problems for him to deal with.
A sweep of concern flowed through him then as he weighed the pros and cons with his draculina at the core of it all, Alucard sitting down on the lid of his sleek coffin,
"...interesting, Police girl...interesting..."

Chapter One: I'm in the dark
-l-
Well...I suppose it is "TBC", but not too sure. I think I'm just making this in a form of a pilot chapter and see how it goes and what you, my dear readers, think about it and if I should go on or not. But I've gotten some pretty good ideas recently I believe and may go on regardless of what you peps think, lol. I also may change this chapter around for the sake of editing...I've been doing it a lot for the past couple of days.
If you're wondering, no, I don't know German; just a few words here and there and very few, short phrases and stuff. Japanese is more of my strong point than any other language beside, of course, English. I'm currently in level 4 of my Japanese classes and will continue on when I go to college. About the reasons why I'm putting German is that Hellsing tends to use quite a bit of it, so I figured, why not? It sounds more appealing than a Japanese title to me.
Whether or not there's going to be humor will be pretty much all up in the air. My humor isn't all that great and given that the tone of this fic is a downer side of things, it won't go over so well.
Anyways, please review. Which reminds me, I need to review on the other stories that I've read here but is under "heavy traffic" whenever I tried...also, I've finished this chapter for quite some time but there was that 3-day waiting period for one that was new to me, and then trying for a good hour to squeeze into the login page because there's the "heavy traffic" again...-.-;
This is also a second account I'm using. My original one I don't really want to go back to and it's been years since I last logged into this site. And...yeah, long thingie at the end here. Review, again, please, and I'll shut up.
