Ch.1 Evening Begins
Welp, I might as well hop on the bandwagon as well. I've noticed A LOT of stories have been made about Alucard finding a 'mate' and I thought to myself "Why can't I do that as well?"
I've been reading other stories about the same subject just to get a feel on what I want to do and I noticed some stereotypes in them. They all contain at least ONE of the following: 1. Woman refuses to defend herself and Alucard has to save her ass, 2. Woman succumbs to Alucard not long after they meet, 3. Woman gets kidnapped multiple times in story and Alucard has to save her EVERY TIME, 4. Lead woman is the ONLY female OC in the story and the rest are male OCs', 5. Woman gets tortured by Alucard and she runs back to him even if she's emotionally, mentally, and/or physically scarred and/or hurt, and 6. Alucard hardly has to work to gain her affections. I could probably go on all day about the things that piss me off in the other stories, but, I decided that instead of complaining about them I'd just make my own. So, here it is. Enjoy!
Super, extra, special thanks to my Beta Reader, Roseimagine, for helping me out. She's the best. ;) I'm only going to say this once: Rated T for violence, cursing, blood, gore, and other dark themes. Please use discretion when reading this story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Hellsing or anything else. Just my OCs' and the plot.
The effects of the day were slowly drawing to a close as the sun set in London, England. Wives and husbands, at times both, returned to their families after either a long day at work or other trials that could reside in the day. Singles perhaps went out with friends or just dragged themselves home. Those were the days citizens were too busy to notice the night owls emerge. Incredible, how the simple folk didn't have any idea of what went on while they slept peacefully in their beds.
Police forces consisting of men and women slipped into their uniforms and prepared themselves for another night of crime. There were a few that worked at restaurants that stayed open around the clock, they were resting comfortably as they knew hardly anyone would eat out late at night let alone cause havoc in an eating environment.
Medical personnel rushed to work knowing there would be at least one emergency tonight, so they would stay attentive.
The rest of the nocturnal activity was done in the safety of darkness... Darkness. A word and world the human race has feared for centuries yet they have been fascinated by it for just as long. Humans had even come up with their own theories on what happens during this period of the day. Though, as many ideas as they conjured up about said subject they would never truly know or understand what goes on.
Fortunately there are a select few that have the privilege of obtaining such knowledge. They are the protectors that the population must never know of. Great warriors and keepers of knowledge. They are knights hidden in the very darkness they swore to fight against.
As the sun descended over the horizon people could hear activity in a medium sized building. The structure itself was white and gave the appearance of neglect but in fact there was movement. Each office had its own set of ordeals but in one of them the faintest sound of a tune began. The office itself was almost dark. The only source of light was coming through the heavy curtains of the only window. As the music played a figure gently danced to it. The melody itself sounded like a folk song*. Soon, the figure began to sing.
Inochi wa toki no naka o
Nagare nagare te
Tokoshie no kioku o
Futae no rasen ni tsumugi yuku
Watashi wa kono uta o
Utai katari te
Setsuna no kioku o
Hito no kokoro ni kizami yuku
Al a re la ye
Al a re la yo
Al a re la ya~A~
Al a re ya...
Al a re la ye
Al a re la yo
Al a re la ya~A~
Al a re ya...
The song then cuts to a short music break the figure keeps their steps in time with melody. Long hair whipped around them as they danced.
Inochi wa toki no naka o
Nagare nagare te
Tokoshie no kioku o
Futae no rasen ni tsumugi yuku
Watashi wa kono uta o
Utai katari te
Setsuna no kioku o
Hito no kokoro ni kizami yuku
Al a re la ye
Al a re la yo
Al a re la ya~A~
Al a re ya…
Al a re la ye
Al a re la yo
Al a re la ya~A~
Al a re ya...
The verse continued an additional three times before the song began to slow and the figure accompanied the tempo perfectly, stepping slowly and singing softly.
Al a re la ye
Al a re la yo
Al a re la ya~A~
Al a re ya…
Al a re la ye
Al a re la yo
Al a re la ya~A~
Al a re ya...
The lyrics, thus the voice ceased and not long after the instrumental faded and all was quiet. The figure stopped in the middle of the office and smiled, the sentiment beckoned them to the window. Hands reached over to open the curtains, the sun had completely set, revealing the stars and moon. However, when the silhouette saw the moon they couldn't help but frown.
"A harvest moon, this isn't good." The figure bit their thumb nail, "I'm fully capable of fending off those vile creatures when I'm on my own but, here? In a building full of blood so easily obtainable? It's going to be a challenge keeping everyone safe and killing those things." The figure sighed and pulled the curtains, leaving oneself in the umbra.
"I suppose I'll have to do the best I can or, better yet, pray that they will come to my aid."
They paced up to the desk and picked up a picture frame. It was too dark to see the image but, what was in it was known by the person. "Don't worry everyone. I haven't let you down yet and I don't plan on starting tonight." With that said, they kissed the frame and placed it gently down.
The individual went to the hanger that hung off the back of the door and took the white lab coat, put it on, and left the office. Everyone else in the department remained oblivious to the buzzing in the forest just behind the edifice.
Two glowing eyes pierced through the darkness. The owner of the eyes smiled wickedly and turned to his friends. "This is it boys. Tonight, we feast!"
There ya'll are. The very first chapter of this story. I know it's super short, but, I did that on purpose. The next chapter should be much longer.
*The song that was featured is called "The spinning song". I recommend listening to it. It's really great!
