She Is My Sin

Ch.1 No Longer Silent

Birds were chirping off in the distance, which was a relaxing sound to her tired ears. She shifted her body gently to the side, enjoying the feeling of the lush grass under her body and the warming sensation given to her by the sun. It was a paradise to her, a perfect place to find yourself.

'Seras!' came the soft call of a woman. Her eyes opened, but only a little bit. Raising her left arm to her face, she shielded her sleepy eyes from the intense sunlight. The world came into focus, very slowly and she adored the world she found herself in. A vast field of lush, green grass with several large trees scattered around randomly. She found herself, sitting under the biggest of these trees, located on the top of a small hill that over looked a tiny stream.

Sunlight streamed down through gaps in the leaves and dotted the ground and her body. She felt so peaceful and happy, just by sitting there in the protection of the great oak.

'Seras!' came the woman's voice again.

She tilted her head upwards, no longer worried about protecting her eyes from the sun. Two silhouette's appeared off in the distance, then slowly came into view. Her eyes widened. The man towered over the smaller, petite woman. His left arm wrapped lovingly around her shoulder, keeping her close to his side. The woman was smiling warmly, waving her arm high in the air.

'Seras! It's time for lunch, you'd better hurry!' the woman laughed sweetly while the man chuckled. A weak smile formed on her face as tears began to stream down her face. Jumping to her feet, she ran wildly down the hill and across the field. Praying that this wasn't a dream.

"Mom! Dad!" she cried, tears rolling down her face as she threw herself into their loving arms. She burried her face into her father's chest, holding on for dear life.

'Why so affectionate, Seras?' he chuckled while gently prying her hands off of him and hoisting her into the air. Then suddenly, she was a child again. Screaming and squealing with joy as her father lifted her into the air, spinning in circles as he did. Her mother sat under the tree, watching with a warm smile on her face. She shut her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the wind against her face as she was twirled around.

'It looks like rain.' her mother's voice stated. She opened her eyes and found herself staring out a window at the night sky. Rain was splattering against the window, blurring her vision of the outside world. Behind her, her parents sat around a blazing fire that lit the entire room. Her large, blue eyes locked onto something in the distance. It looked like the dark silhouette of a man.

Red eyes flared from the place where his face was. They softened for a split second, but quickly became narrow and cruel. Her body froze under his intense gaze. The house melted away into the darkness. She stood and stared at the approaching figure, her eyes suddenly filling with tears.

"Are you the one?" she screeched. The man was silent. "Answer me! Are you the one?' she demanded. The man threw his head back and cackled. She flinched at the blood lust that dripped from his voice. She turned her gaze away, tears streaming down her face and mixing with the rain.

'I killed them all.' he murmured. She looked up, stunned that he had admitted to it. His red eyes glaring at her. 'I would have killed you too, but they stopped me. Killing a child isn't right, that's what they said. Now,' he grinned, 'I'm glad I didn't, because this beautiful woman belongs to me.'

She opened her eyes, staring at the large white canopy that was strung over her bed. Rolling over, she gently burried her face in the pillow. She took a moment to recover from the dream before walking over to the large window and staring out at the sky.

It was all planned out, she even had her things all packed. The operation would take place at 8:30, exactly fifteen minutes before the maid would come to check on her. That gave her enough time to go out the window, down the vines, across the yard, and hopefully over the fence. Then she could go wherever she wanted and as far away from them as she could go.

A shiver ran up her spine as she looked out the window and out over the enormous yard. The stone fence was several feet high and would prove to be difficult to climb over, but it would have to be done. She wanted out so badly, that she had been forced to try and escape. She sighed and left her spot by the window to sit on her bed. Turning her head, she looked up at the clock.

"8:27 P.M." she whispered while turning her determined gaze towards the window. "Now or never." she gulped. She slid off the bed and reached underneath it. After fishing around for a minute, she managed to grasp onto her black bag and pulled it out. She raced to the window, quietly pushing it open and crawling out on the windowsill. A gust of cold air blasted her the moment she was outside.

She turned her back to the wind and set to work on climbing down the vines that covered the mansion. She had assumed that it would be so much easier than it really was, but it proved to be quite difficult. The vines weren't as strong as she had assumed. Even though she was a slender and petite woman, the vines snapped several feet from the ground, sending her down on her back. The impact made her wince as she felt something dig into her back, which she ignored as she pushed herself onto her hands and knees. She guessed that she had at least eight minutes left before they realized she had left.

She got up to her feet slowly and made her way across the yard, which was a good long run. The area around the mansion was...oversized you could say. No one was around as she came closer to the fence, which caused a smile of victory to cross onto her exhausted face.

'Almost!' she thought while going faster. Two feet from the fence, her plans went down the drain when someone grabbed her left arm and swung her around. She stared up at the man who now held onto her, completely petrified with fear. He narrowed his eyes behind his black sunglasses and tightened his grip on her arm, causing her to give a small yelp.

"What do you think you're doing?" he asked in a cold, lifeless voice. She was silent. He frowned and jerked on her arm, pulling her forward and grabbing her face in his other hand. Her gentle, blue eyes were brimmed with tears as he forced her to look directly at him. "Answer me!" he hissed through clenched teeth. She struggled against his grip, trying to pry his hands off of her. Her gentle, blue eyes were brimmed with tears that flowing down her face. He sighed and released his grip on the girl, causing her to fall to her knees.

She kept her head down and let her hands dig into the grass, trying to vent to anger. The man looked at her through his sunglasses. She was a very beautiful woman, anyone who looked at her could see that. Strawberry blonde hair, gentle blue eyes, and a body that could kill. A slender, hour glass shaped body that could knock anyone off their feet. The girl was only 17 and already prettier and built better than most woman twice her age.

"Get up!" he barked at her. "Your parents must be worried about their precious little angel." he said mockingly while pulling her to her feet. A look of sheer terror fell onto her face. In a moment of strength, She broke his grip and jumped away from him. He turned around, an annoyed look on his pale face.

"Don't do this, Seras." he tried to calm her. "If you leave now, you know what they'll do, and you know it won't be good." Seras shook her head and tried to keep in her sobs.

"Please, Leon. Please..." she pleaded with the slowly advancing male. "Please... just let me go..." she added while quickly backing away from him, afraid of him catching her again. He shook his head slowly.

"You know I can't do that. Now that you know about AVT, it would a bad thing if you got away and told someone about it. It would be bad for both of us. You know that, don't you Seras?" he replied calmly. In a swift movement, he reached out in an attempt to grab her. She was fast enough to smack his hand away and go to the left.

"No!" she cried in a hoarse voice. Leon sighed in frustration while running a hand through his dark brown hair. He raised his head to stare at the cowering girl before him. "Please." she asked again, her eyes looking up at him so innocently. He stopped moving, his arms resting at his sides as his eyes locked onto her from behind his glasses.

"I can't, I won't." he replied in a cold voice, one that was different from the voice he had been using. Seras flinched at his voice, but took a few steps towards him anyways.

"Leon?" she asked, her voice filled with concern. She took another step towards him and gave a surprised yelp when he reached out and grabbed her right arm in one hand and her face in the other. He brought her face up to his, bringing his lips down over hers and forcefully kissing her.

She struggled against his kiss and broke free for a moment, but he moved his hand that once held her face to her head and forced her back into the kiss. He broke the kiss after a minute and pulled her against him, his grip tightening with each second that passed.

"Leon..." she whimpered. "Please don't do this to me." she cried, her voice filled with pain and exhaustion. He went still for a moment again. Slowly, his grip began to loosen and then broke completely. Seras slowly backed up, staring intently at Leon as he lowered his head, staring at his hands.

"Seras... I'm so sorry..." he whispered in an ashamed voice as he disappeared into the shadows, leaving Seras alone once again.

"Thank you, Leon." she whispered with a soft, gentle smile on her face. She turned back to the fence to complete her escape.

I'm having some trouble making a choice as to which pairing this story should focus on. Alucard and Seras, Pip and Seras, or something else. I would be very happy if those who read this, tell me their opinion on the matter. Thank you.
