A Promise Written In Blood
A/N: I know this type of story has been done time and time again, but this is my spin on things. Hope ya'll enjoy and reviews would be much appreciated.
Seras froze in mid strike as the freak in front of her grinned and ducked away. A familiar silver gun was pressed to her chest. If she'd had a heart beat it would've been racing in panic. Her hands were shaking and her body froze. Her eyes were glued to the barrel of the gun. Movement made her eyes meet his. His eyes widened for a fraction of a second but it was too late, he'd already pulled the trigger. The loud echoing bang of a gunshot echoed through the building. The commotion, around her, dimmed to a dull whisper. Everything hurt; it was almost as bad as the day that her beloved Master shot her and changed her in Cheddar Village. Though she knew there was no going back this time. He wouldn't be able to save her this time. Blood dribbled from the corner of her mouth. She knew one thing right then and there that she was going to miss him, his sarcasm and condescending attitude. His crimson eyes stared into hers. For a moment she could almost imagine there was regret flickering in his eyes for what he'd just done even if it had been an accident. Her legs started to give out. He caught her easily and lowered her to the ground. He vanished if only for a moment. Screams and gun shots rang through the place, before he was at her side again. Everything was starting to get heavy.
"Master…" she whimpered softly.
He seemed a bit uncertain what it was that he needed to do. She leaned forward and rested her forehead against his shoulder. Occasionally little shivers of pain would wash down her spine as the silver raced through her body.
"Guess you can't save me this time… Master," she stuttered between pain wracking shivers.
Her eyes slid shut as her sight failed her. She took in his scent trying to memorize it.
Alucard watched dispassionately as his fledgling was starting to fade before him. He almost demanded her to stay with him but he knew all too well that she wasn't as old as he was so he wouldn't be able to withstand the dose in the bullets he had. There unfamiliar feelings surging through him as he watched her struggle to stay with him. This girl had come to mean something to him but he'd never allow anyone to know even her. There were too many threats in the world for her to be his. Any weakness would be exploited even though he'd protect what was his. Her blood stained fingers ran down his cheek to draw his attention back to her.
"Master…" she whimpered.
Then she went slack in his arms. In the recesses of her fading thoughts he swore he hear a promise to see him again one day even if it took all of eternity to get back to him. He for once was at a loss for words as he watched his fledgling fade into a pile of ash. His hands clenched at his sides as he rose gracefully and stalked back towards the Hellsing Manor to report to his own Master. Those who'd taken her from him would suffer through hell and back for what had happened. Once he reported to Integra he retreated to the darkness of his room to be alone with his thoughts. A sadistic grin spread across his face as he thought of her last promise as she smeared blood on his face if she'd be able to pull it off.
