With Alucards return, the mansion was anything but quiet. He made it a habit to break in the "fresh meat", as he would call them. Popping out of shadows when they were not paying attention or standing in front of there bullets, letting it rip him apart. The soldiers instinct was to run over to Alucard to see if he was fatally wounded, but it was a trap. Alucard would summon bats to help him regenerate, surrounding the soldiers with fluttering terror. The manor was filled with screams of scared soldiers, yelling from Sir Intergra and laughter from Alucard. Where was Seras? Being Seras, calming her squads down. Trying to explain to them that Alucard will not kill them and they have nothing to fear... kinda.
After Seras calmed down her men, she patrolled the mansion. Every now and then she could feel Alucard presence, then it would disappear after a few moments. Hour later she would feel it again, then it would, again, vanish. She figured out what he was doing. He's been playing catch up what happened the past 30 years with Interga, that he would get bored and send his shadows to see what Seras was doing.
"Alucard, you should really be paying attention" Seras teased through there mental link.
"But I'm so bored, this country is fighting with this country, this one legalized marijuana, By the way, back in my day, we smoked a lot of that after battles. Silly humans, making something natural illegal. New technology that came out, technology that already came out. Humans skydiving from outer space, glasses that have computers. I'm truly feeling my 600 years wearing on me, my darling" She could mentally picture Alucard getting flustered at all this new advanced information.
" You really sound like an old man" she giggled, he lowly chuckled. a moment of silence passed through them. "hows Sir Integra?" she asked weakly.
Alucard was quite for a moment. "Chemo is taking a toll on her, the nurse doesn't even leave the room anymore... the tubes in her nose seem to be bothering her, but without them its hard for her to breath. Its just like her fathers death all over again, slow and painful" He paused "All these fancy phones and computers, yet no 100% cure for cancer, this worlds priorities are all wrong"
Seras stopped in her tracks, her vision blurred as tears made there way out. She wish she could make Sir Integras pain stop. If she stayed human, didn't go to Cheddar the one night, would've she died like this? hooked up to machines and painful? Would she have children? Grandchildren even? The what if's were pointless to think about, but haunted her mind. But Alucard was back, so she was never without love anymore. Well, Alucard never actually SAID he loved her, but they are mated for eternity, that had to mean more, right?
She snapped out of her pointless thoughts, and wiped away her tears. "Alucard, how long?" she asked in a trembling voice.
His voice was low and smooth like silk, such a calming tone " Her life is fading, i would say no longer than a week, maybe less. She lived her life as a Hellsing, and she will die a Hellsing. Strong and proud. So do not cry that she will die, but be happy the way she lived. Now, i must resume my lecture, Sir Intregra is catching on" with a low chuckle, he cut off the connection.
Week has passed, and Sir Interga could barely drink had a tube for almost everything going in and coming out of her body. She lived a long, meaningful life, that is quickly coming to its end . Alucard and Seras stood on the left side of her bed in her final moments. They both keeled and bowed there heads in respect. "Raise your heads, vampires. I wish to see your faces one last time" They did as she commanded. Alucard tried to make his face emotionless, but his eyes held deep hurt. Seras face was trembling with tears as she held in her cries. "Don't weep for me Seras, if anything I should be weeping for you. Doomed to walk this rock for eternity." Intergra weakly reached her hand to Seras cheek. Seras held Intergras withered hand, cradling her cheek in her palm. "I will make sure lets you in the gates of heaven. You are a loving, strong soul, don't let anyone else tell you different"
"Roger Sir" Seras said with a half smile but a trembling voice.
Intergra moved her hand away from Seras and moved onto Alucards shoulder. "We first met when i was just a young healthy girl, hmpf, look at me now? Tell me, my servant, what will become of you when you are free of me?"
Alucard was silent for a moment, looked at Seras, Then looking back at Sir Interga. "I will leave a contact number for Sir Penwoods grandson, if he is in need of us. But for Seras and I, to continue the Hellsings mission. To kill murders of the undead kind."
"And where will this be taking place?" Sir Interga mustered a chuckle
"Well I can't go back home, my castle is nothing but a tourist spot. Be odd if someone bought it and closed it completely off. Besides, I'm hurting the local economy if I do that. Not very kingly of me" He smirked " But I plan on traveling around with Seras." This caught Seras' attention. He never spoke of this to her! "She is a proper vampire, meaning she can now travel across water without a coffin." Integra held up her hand to stop him and she summoned the lawyer and nurse by her side.
"Vampires riding on public airlines will not do, I entrust you with Hellsings personal Helicopters and Private plane. Sir Penwood will get rid of them anyhow since they are 'outdated'" she giggled at the ironic word. "But I will not take off the Hellsing emblems on the crafts, just a friendly reminder. You must return when you are needed. That is my final order for the both of you"
Alucard and Seras bowed there heads , saying in unison "As you wish,Sir Interga"
Intergas arm went limp, her fingers softened. The heart rate monitor flat-lined. Everyone was silent. All you could her was Seras hiccuping, trying to stop herself from crying. Alucard wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into his check. "Mourn now so it will not be a weakness later." with those words Seras wept; Loud and hard. Alucard let out a couple of blood stained tears. The last human he respected in this world, now gone.
Seras has gone silent, dizzy from crying so hard. Alucard picked her up in his arms, cradling her shoulders and legs. "We leave first thing tomorrow evening. Prepare the plane, i will get in contact when i need the helicopter"
"Of course Sir, where should I tell the pilot you are wanting to fly to?" the nurse spoke up.
Alucard smirked " I always wanted to go to the United Sates"
