She Is My Sin
Ch.2 Unusual and Beautiful
Seras was lost. She had gotten on a bus and rode it for about an hour before getting off in a quiet looking town. Of course, she didn't know where she was, or what she was going to do there. First, she had to find a hotel to check into and then decide what to do next. It was around 10:00 P.M. now and she was still having no luck. There wasn't really anyone outside and Seras looked as lost as she felt.
A smile crept onto her face. This town was quiet, small, and calm. It made her feel... welcome. Seras hadn't had much time to do anything before she left, so she wasn't dressed for the weather. It was early December and snowing gently, which made the town look even more appealing to her. It was a white dress that was laid over her petite body, falling just abover her ankles in a flowing skirt. The sleeves were long, bell sleeves and the dress back left her back exposed.
She hadn't even thought about bringing a jacket or changing into something warmer.
'That would have smart.' she mentally slapped herself. She wrapped her arms around herself as a wave of shivers ran up her spine. 'I have to find a hotel before I freeze.' she stated to herself while stopping to look around, not that it did her any good. Everything looked the same to her. She sighed in frustration, gently lowering herself onto a nearby bench. Placing her head in her hands, she let her body vent some of her sorrow by crying silently.
The tears kept flowing for about five minutes before she leaned back, letting her head go back as well. The tears were still falling, but much slower than before. Snow flakes fell on her face, sending a chill throughout her whole body. The sky was dark, the stars were glittering, and the snow made everything seem more wonderful. In that one moment, nothing moved and no sound reached her ears. The world froze to her as the tears increased.
Walter was heading back to the hotel after finishing some business for Integra outside of the city. It had been a rather long walk for him, but it was a nice night so he had no problem with it. Integra had been swamped with work since a strange, new type of Freak showed up one night. Stronger, faster, smarter, and harder to kill. These creatures were like annoying insects to him, and the only problem was that after you smashed one, more were sure to come along later.
It was hard work, but he dealt with it. Walter turned right around a building and stopped. He hadn't seen anyone else walking around for at least an hour. There was a girl sitting on a bench, her head in her hands as her body gently shook, either from the cold or from her tears. Suddenly, she straightened her body then let her head roll back to stare at the sky. A dazed looked crossed the girls face and turned to amazement. Her eyes closed slightly and softened as the snow fell.
He had to admit, the girl didn't look human. Of course, he meant that in the best possible way. She was clothed in a white dress with wild, strawberry blonde hair, and gentle, blue eyes. She was...angelic sitting there, basking in the cold moonlight. Perhaps the girl was an angel come to Earth. He chuckled at the thought, causing the girl to snap her head to the side and stare at him.
Large, frightened eyes stared curiously at him. He cleared his throat and gave a small bow, which she responded to with a nod. Walter made his way across the sidewalk to her bench and stopped.
"May I sit?" he asked politely. The girl answered by scooting off to the left side of the bench. Walter gave a kind smile and sat next to her, looking up at the moon. "It's a nice night, isn't it Miss?" he questioned, trying to sound polite.
"Yes... it is..." she replied. Her voice sounded exactly the way he thought it would. A soft, musical voice that lingered in ones' mind.
"If you don't mind, may I ask your name and why you're sitting here alone?" he asked calmly and slowly. She hesitated, deliberating on if she should answer or not. Eventually, she decided that he was friendly and trustworthy. Seras turned her face to him, giving him a friendly smile.
"I'm Seras. Seras Victoria, and I was trying to find a hotel but I got lost. Could you maybe... help me?" she asked sweetly. Walter found that her sudden, upbeat attitude was rather... childish. It was rather amusing and caused him to chuckle again. Walter stood up and bowed again.
"I am Walter and it would be my pleasure to assist you, Miss Victoria." Seras jumped up and hugged Walter.
"Oh thank you so much!" she cried. Walter was a bit shocked for a moment, but gently patted her on the back.
"Don't mention it, but we should hurry. It's getting colder and you aren't properly dressed to be out this late." he stated while gently pushing her off. Seras blushed and looked at her dress, but nodded. "It's this way." he motioned for her to follow him. Seras nodded again and followed close behind him.
"May I ask what you're doing in this town?" Walter asked after a few minutes of silence. Seras instantly stopped, causing Walter to stop as well. He looked at her frightened and sad expression and decided not to bring it up again. "I'm sorry, Miss Victoria. Please forgive me if I've done something wrong."
"Oh no! You've done nothing wrong. It's just... not a happy topic for me to talk about. Please just... don't ask me again." she pleaded.
"Of course, you may ask me questions if you'd like. Shall we continue?" he stated. Seras nodded. There was an eerie silence between the two of them for a few more minutes before it began to drive Seras crazy.
"What do you do, Walter?" she asked, suddenly very curious as to what the man did. Walter looked at her from the corner of his eye.
"I am a butler." he replied bluntly.
"To whom?" Seras urged him to continue.
"Sire Integra Hellsing." was his simple reply. "I have served the Hellsing family all my life and will continue to do so until I die."
"Is Integra a good person? I mean... is she kind to you?" Seras asked. Walter nodded.
"Integra is a complex woman, whos job is more stress than most people have to deal with in their whole lives. She takes great pride in her work and is as kind as a woman like her can be. Sir Integra is a strong woman." he stated.
"Oh, well I'm glad. It would a bad thing if you were working for a cruel person. I'm happy that you enjoy your work, Walter. Really I am." Seras smiled. Walter returned the gesture and looked back off towards the roads.
"Ah, there it is. That's the only hotel in this town. A bit fancy, but it has good prices. I think you'll like it there. I'm staying there as well, so I may see you again." Seras smiled at the thought. This man was kind and thoughtful. He reminded her of a grandfather. If she could have one, she'd want him to be hers. It brought a warm, childish smile to her face. They were quiet the rest of the walk up to the hotel doors.
Walter opened the door for Seras and she thanked him while walking inside. A gust of warm air greeted her frozen, tired body. Walter laughed at her childish grin once inside a warm place. Seras quickly made her way to the front desk and got herself a room. Walter came up behind her as she turned around.
"Thank you so much, Walter. I really do appreciate your help." she thanked him. "I will be going now, but I hope to see you again." she smiled. Walter smiled back and watched as she turned and walked away. Walter quickly went off in the opposite direction, to report to Integra.
"Welcome back, Walter." she greeted him while flipping through some files. Walter bowed and pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and offered it to her. Integra eyed the paper but took it and read it out loud.
"The AVT files have been stolen. Find the thief and bring them back alive." Integra read the paper again and leaned back in her chair. "Where do you find this?" she inquired.
"I found it on the body of Freak that killed just outside of town, Sir Integra. It was... abnormally difficult to kill, meaning it was one of the new Freaks." he reported. Integra sighed and let the paper fall on the desk.
"These new Freaks are becoming annoying. Did you find anything else out, or did anything else happen?" she asked. Walter nodded.
"I don't know if its important, but on my way back I ran into a young woman sitting on a bench, staring at the sky." Integra raised a brow and urged him to continue. "She didn't say much about who she was or why she was there, but she did say that she was lost and looking for a hotel. So, I brought her here. The girl was quite... unusual." he stated. "Like she was hiding some kind of secret."
Seras had a little trouble finding her room, but she eventually got to it with the help of a maid. Seras was happy to finally be there. Free of her everything that had brought horror to her life. Free to live a simple, peaceful life. The one that she had always wanted and yearned for. Seras was smiling when she opened the door and slipped inside. It was a basic room. A bed, a bathroom, and the other essentials.
She didn't bother to turn on the lights or anything. Instead, she ran across the room and threw herself onto the bed. The warm, soft bed felt like heaven against her skin. She sighed in relief and rolled over, pulling the sheets around her body and snuggling against the bed. She was so tired that she instantly began to fall asleep.
Two crimson orbs watched her from the darkness. Watching every movement, every turn, and every word she spoke while in her dreamland. The beautiful yet unusual woman had fallen asleep within the first twenty minutes upon arriving in the room. He cast a great shadow that loomed over her. Moving silently, he made his way to the other side of the bed where he could see her better. The curtains were open, allowing the pure moonlight to filter down and settle on her angelic figure.
He moved a white gloved hand to her face, gently caressing her skin with the back side of his hand. She felt so warm to his cold touch. Her peaceful face was illuminated by the moon as she slept. He let his other hand run through her hair as he took in her scent. The girl twitched under his touch and he drew back almost instantly. That wasn't like him. He didn't normally treat humans like that. He didn't touch them, nor did he like most of them. Well, other than his Master and Walter of course. They were exceptions to that.
The girl gently rolled over onto her other side and let out a soft sigh. She had a heavenly voice. This human was interesting to him. Perhaps he could use her to amuse himself in the future. He frowned. This girl wouldn't be around for very long, Integra was leaving tomorrow night and so was he. That would be goodbye to this interesting human.
'Too bad.' he thought while phasing through the walls and leaving her to rest in peace and heading back to Integra's room.
She looked up only for a moment before going back to work. He crossed the room and took a seat in one of the various chairs.
"What were you doing?" she asked, assuming that he was out terrorizing the innocent. The wide grin she got as a reply didn't help.
"Just out... amusing myself." he grinned.
