Internal Destination
The wind blew a few leaves underneath my feet as I walked down the darkened streets of this deserted wasteland. I made a mental note of how the dead leaves crunched softly as my scuffed, worn boot came down upon them. Sort of like a decayed skeleton, they became dust once more. I continued on my way lost in memories once born, I was not fully aware of where I was heading. I noticed a few people walking past, staring from second story windows, I probably seemed a freak to them. I chuckled thinking of how little they could have possibly known.
My eyes scan the area; I can't even remember when I was human…if ever. My senses are so heightened from the regular human it's nearly as if they are mere ants to my power. My eyes can sense ten times what a human can, my ears surpass that of a dog's, I am so much more than I ever had been. Completely evolved from anything considered normal. At what price? I chuckle again; no wonder the human race fears me!
Out of the corner of my eye, I spot movement, finally, what I had been waiting for! The freak had finally come to play. My mood of freelance daydream becomes one of caution, but not to my full level. The freaks were all the same, weak; unable to comprehend what sort of power they truly did posses. They trusted a salvation that would only doom them! The damned chip that they thought made them a vampire and invisible only made them vermin, hardly worth my time killing them.
So the freak thinks it can outrun me? A savage smile crosses my sculpted features, at least a little fun from my usual boredom. Rarely do I second guess myself but at that moment my target moved out of my range, locking its fangs into my arm obviously ready for a kill itself. The thing gnawed with all its might trying to harm me, I admit it was fast but seeing it now is humorous, so tiny a creature.
I then realized that I didn't have a freak attached to me at all, a test of power surged through my arm and it was to advanced for such a creature. I grabbed the demon off of me with little difficulty and holding it by the hair, my eyes widened. I threw the thing from me, this was a full fledge vampire I had come upon, and a child at that! I looked seeing the tiny thing shaking in a crouching position. I hadn't known any of the children had survived!
She as I had found out looked up at me with wild eyes, not unlike my very own. She had her teeth bared in a snarl, ready to attack again. Then I realized with a jolt of fear (which doesn't happen often) that I had in fact seen this feral before!
My mind traveled back to the time I was still known as the prince of Romania. There in my memory faced with Van Hellsing himself, stood the child. She drove her hand into his pocket and out came a silver chain. What was on the chain I didn't get to find out considering the earth shattering bang that just sounded.
Hardly able to contain laughter, the little feral had pick pocketed me! She had just blown half a van away and was smiling in a rather manic fashion. Funny I thought, she's as gun crazy as I am! She turned around looking at me horrified. I gently took my gun back when she grabbed my hand looking at the insignia which graces my glove (my slavery). She stared in wonder with eyes that held not fury, but child's amazement.
"Hell" she said to herself quietly. I then understood, she was looking for Hellsing. The insignia on my gloves told her the answer right off the bat. I was however a little surprised it took her so long to realize. She then looked up at me with tears, grabbed my coat and began sobbing madly.
Now if I was ever confused in the first place it had to be of now. How do I get myself in these messes? I could here Master now, "have you lost your mind? We have police girl your not starting a collection!" Yes it's true no matter how much power you bestow your master will always ask about your sanity! So as I am being clung to by the child who thought she could bite my arm off two seconds ago I realized that this isn't a place to be chatting in a dark alley of freak infested territory.
"Alright enough, I'll take you to Hellsing, but you have to promise to keep that temper in line!" I told her sternly, she looked up at me with puppy eyes and shook her head so her matted hair only fell into her eyes even more. "I won't be bad!" She gave me a huge grin, instant lie. I was in for hell and I knew it. Damn I'm Dracula and I'm scared of my master who happens to be a twenty four year old woman!
Of course in the mist of finding this curious child I had neglected to remember that police girl was in fact there and I told her to wait for a signal. What was she going to think when I return with a young child practically skipping at my feet? I sighed when I saw those bright blue eyes and spiky blond hair. Police girl is one of the best shooters but sometimes the common sense factor needs help. So there she stood, one eyebrow up in confusion looking from me to the child and blinking several times she scratched her head, I remain composed even though the scene of her was comical.
"Who in bloody hell is she!" She finally blurted out when she got done figuring whatever she was trying to figure out. "She's coming with us" I told her, she then becomes wide eyed. "say what?" Another sigh. "I said she's coming" "I heard that!" she shouted. "I mean what about Sir Integral, you know how she feels about her kind!" she pointed to the child in which police girl got a very menacing growl. "oyi whatca pick up a fiend?" Police girl stepped away with a shocked look. "I'm not a fiend!" the child answered, well considering that police girl doesn't understand Romanian, she took it as a threat and drawled her gun. "ENOUGH" I finally brought back some order to the situation. What kind of powers did this child have to make police girl act in that way?
After explaining for a bit about the whole situation, and the fact that the child doesn't speak English I somehow managed to get everyone to the car alive, well still intact. "Seras" Walter opened the door for her and then looks at me then down at the child about the same way police girl had.
"She's coming along to I suppose?" He drew a hand to welcome her to the car, police girl mimicked Walter with a teenage attitude, I had to admit, I'd never seen her that way. Walter then held a separate door for me, I was in the front away from those to! I love how Walter always seems to read my mind. Though he should, he's known me his whole life, I smile at this thought and he seems oblivious to the arguing issuing behind us.
Ahh how I wish London was not such a long drive, for the bickering of the two fledglings was beginning to become very old. "could you tone it down!" I shouted from the front to which I got nothing but more screaming. Finally it came to me that police girl wasn't very old to begin with and nor was the mystery child, so it only made sense that they wouldn't get along. Something called sibling rivalry. Oh I secretly dreaded my masters reaction, especially when I bring home a pissed off police girl and her being mad from the previous mission, to which I still say wasn't my fault!
Whew, end of chpt. 1 get ready for my mania when Sir. Integral meets the little angel going to be a lot of action in this one!
