Hey everyone I totally forgot to say this last time but I do not own Hellsing and I hope you enjoy the story! Please Review!
Note: I am using dialogue from Hellsing Ultimate just to stay true to the story, so please, don't be hatin'.
There was nothing.
The slimy, moss covered stones seemed to move closer and closer with my every breath. Water was wearing away my skin to the bone. My lungs constricted and breath was but a happy memory.
"Jesus Christ!"
I felt my fist connect with skin and bone.
"What did you do?"
"I was just trying to wake her up!"
I opened my eyes to see Jonathon clutching his jaw and Pip busting a gut.
So you hold my nose? What the hell is wrong with you Jon!"
I threw my blanket off and stretched. I had fallen asleep in my clothes so I was still damp from yesterday's rain. It also meant I was a bit ripe; A fact which Pip pointed out by holding his nose and falling back on his cot, his tongue lolling out the side of his mouth.
"Very funny Pip. You don't exactly smell like a field of wildflowers!"
He and Jonathon just kept laughing and I raised my fist.
"Maybe I'll just break your noses and save you the trouble of smelling at all!"
Pip raised his hands in surrender then rubbed the bandage in his very straight nose.
"No need peu tireur, you taught me that lesson years ago."
I smirked.
"If you're done acting like toddlers I'm going to find a place to bathe."
Pip was still chuckling when I walked out of the barracks.
I wandered around until I found the bath house. I walked in to the side marked "Ladies" only to find that I wasn't the only female in this organization.
Sitting in the hot bathwater was a blond girl in her mid-twenties I guessed. She was just staring down in the water but when she heard me her head snapped up and I caught a glimpse of her bright red eyes.
"I-I'm sorry. I'll leave."
I averted my eyes as she climbed out of the water, but not before I got a look at her huge knockers. I glared down at my own chest, wondering why they couldn't come out of hiding like hers had.
When she had a robe on she came over to me and looked at me curiously.
"I didn't know there was a girl with the new recruits. What's your name?"
I once again looked into her blood red eyes, there was something unnerving and slightly frightening about them, but at the same time there was an innocence you really didn't expect.
"Tilly. Tilly Bernadotte."
She smiled.
"I'm Seras Victoria. I don't mean to be rude, but your accent is very. . ."
Her eyes rolled up as if she was looking into her skull for the right words.
"Unfamiliar."
I smirked.
"French."
She smiled once again and I saw a sight that made my eyes grow wide.
Fangs.
I jumped back about a foot in pure shock.
She was one of . . . them. Like that bastard I had met last night.
Her smile vanished.
"I'm sorry! I didn't meant to frighten you! I know you must not be used to this kind of thing! I am so stupid sometimes-!"
I cut her off.
"You just took me by surprise."
She pursed her lips until they were a thin line, then she stuck out her hand.
"I hope you'll feel at home here Tilly. It'll be nice not to be the only girl here." I reached for her hand, but hesitated. What would it feel like?
She smiled a little sadly and put her hand down.
"I'll be seeing you around then."
I nodded.
After she left I tore off my clothes and jumped in the water. The hot water seeped into my bones and I let out a contented sigh.
After spending an unholy amount of time in the I went to go look for Pip, see what was next. Instead I found the butler, Walter.
"Miss Tilly I've been looking for you. Your group is in a meeting with Sir Integra and I assume you wish to be present."
I followed Walter into the main house but he led me down different corridors this time. We ended up at a conference room, only without any furniture.
I saw Pip and went to go stand by him, I also the girl, Seras, I had met in the bath house. She was in a yellow uniform with the Hellsing crest sewn on the breast pocket. Apparently I had missed something because Pip was giving her an extremely incredulous look and then started laughing.
"You're telling me that this little girl is a vampire? You're joking!"
He walked up to her. He had a good two feet on her but she stared up at him, somewhat sheepishly.
"So you are really a vampire?"
She smirked.
"Yes, I am. Hello!"
Her voice was very chipper, which was what made him lose it.
Every single one of the men was holding their sides. Now that I really looked at the situation I could see why they would find it so funny. Seras' smile vanished as she looked at Sir Integra who was standing in the other corner.
"I get the feeling their laughing at me, Sir."
It was Integra's turn to smirk.
"Then show them something to make them stop, Police girl."
"Right! Of course Sir!"
Seras saluted then gave Pip a smile.
Pip only started laughing harder.
"If this is a vampire then I'm Frankenstein's monster!"
He brought his arms up and started moving toward her. Much like he did with me when we were younger and he would chase me around.
Quick as a blink Seras poked him.
Pip yelled and blood started pouring from his nose. Seras wasn't through yet though. She kept poking him until he landed on his ass right in front of me. It was my turn to start laughing.
"Captain are you alright?"
"She just. . . Kept . . . poking! It was so fast . . . and my head. ."
I kneeled down beside him and whispered,
"Serves you right you sexist ass."
He grinned at me.
"So you're really telling me that that girl is a . . . Vampire?"
"Damn right she is."
The voice was deep and familiar and my spine instantly tensed up. I looked at the door to see him enter, but instead his red hat came through . . . The wall.
"This girl may be the lowest of the low, but a vampire is still a vampire."
Everyone gasped and exclaimed in surprise more than fear, even me, as he came farther out of the wall.
"What a pathetic bunch of sniveling cowards. I don't think they'll be of any use to us."
Walter then ran into the room.
"I am sorry Ma'am I did try to stop him."
Alucard came completely out of the wall. He looked at all of us the way a hound dog looks at a shot duck.
"These men are going to be guarding me while I sleep. I wanted to take their measure."
He kept giving us that condescending smirk; I could barely take it anymore. I stood up with my fists clenched, ready to show him who was a sniveling coward when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
Pip was giving Alucard a polite but tense stare. He pulled me closer and whispered.
"Go back to the barracks Tilly, I don't want you around the likes of him."
I sighed.
"If only you knew."
But I felt if I stayed in that room any longer I'd end up blowing it to bits, so I left without any argument.
I walked down the different corridors, only getting myself more lost without Walter to guide me through this hoity toit maze.
After about 15 minutes of mindless wandering I finally leaned against a bookcase to get my bearings. But apparently that wasn't the best place to stop, because as soon as I put my full weight against it it began to turn. . . Taking me with it.
"Shit. Dammit! FUCK!"
I banged against the back of the book shelf. It was completely dark in here and smelled like rat shit and dead spiders.
"What the hell is wrong with you people?"
I hit it again, but feebly. This was entirely too much for just one day. I turned around into the dark, even though my eyes had adjusted, I still couldn't see the hand in front of my face.
I took a small flashlight out of my pocket, praying to whatever God there was out there the batteries still worked. Thankfully they did.
I looked down to see that if I had taken a half a step forward I would have fallen down an extremely steep set of stone stairs. I looked back at the bookshelf, then back to the stairs.
"It can't be that bad, stop being such a puss."
With a deep breath, I took off down the stairs.
Please review.
