Chapter 2 – First Days Suck
Sai…
"I'd. Give anything. Just to cut you free… I'd. Give blood… Just to watch you, just to watch you bleed..." I sang as I walked down the street, watching anything that I went by, or passed me by. I was listening to one of my favorite songs by Five Finger Death Punch as I walked. They were a really good band, and this song in particular reminded me of how I felt towards the enemies Sis and I had fought in the past. "I see through you, and all your lies… You are everything, that I despise… You won't take shit, when you leave… What the hell do you want from me?... I'm over it. So over it… This is goodbye… I'd. Give anything. Just to cut you free… I'd. Give blood… Just to make you, just to watch you bleed…" I continued to sing as a group of really hot girls passed me by. A few of them looking me up and down with interest as I passed by, singing regardless of who I was around.
Eventually I came across the grocery store, and walked inside as I pulled out my phone, and cut the music down to low. Popping one of my ear pieces out, I tucked it into my shirt and I began looking around at the goods available. Grabbing a small basket, I silently tapped to the beat of the next song that had started playing as I went around grabbing things. From cereal for tomorrow morning, to something easy for dinner tonight, and a few snacks and drinks, I soon found myself paying and leaving. However, before I could crank my music up and pop my ear piece back in, I heard a muffled scream coming from the alley nearby. Sniffing the air, I felt my body freeze to the spot for a mere second as the familiar scent of rapidly decaying flesh met my sensitive nose.
Shit… I thought, as I ran towards the alley way. However, before I went barging down it, I carefully hid the stuff I had just bought behind some empty card board boxes. After that, I then silently crept closer to where the sounds of the scuffle had ceased. When I got within sight of what was going on, I saw two ghouls eating a human woman. And at the rate they were going, there would be no rising for her. After all, there was only one arm, one leg, her hips, shoulders, neck and chest left of her. The rest had already been eaten.
"What a shame… She looked like she had been really hot too." I tsked, making the ghouls look up at me with their soulless eyes. Not happy with the intrusion on their meal, they got up and came at me with the intention of killing and eating me too.
Too bad for the bastards though, because if I were to get eaten, Miku would find a way to bring me back, and kill me all over again for getting killed in the first place. Reaching into my boots, I pulled out the knives I always carried in each, and flipped them over so that the blades each rested in my palms.
"Well, I'd ask if you had any last words, but seeing as you're mindless killing eating ghouls… Well you get my point." I said, as I flicked my wrist, sending each of the blades into its own heart up to the hilt… The two ghouls fell to the ground with a thud before turning to dust in the wind. Causing my knives to clutter to the asphalt. The noise echoing in the deathly silent alley way.
Seeing the ashes blow away, I walked up and grabbed my knives, cleaning them of any extra dust on them before walking back to where the body lay. Closing my eyes, I sent up a prayer for her mortal soul before pulling out my phone, and calling my sister.
"Did you forget what you were out to go do Sai?" I heard Miku ask, as I rolled my eyes.
"No… I got the stuff, but I'm going to be late getting back." I warned, as a dangerous, teasing tone entered Miku's voice.
"Sai… This had better not have anything to do with playing with your opposite sex does it? Because if it does, then I'm not even gonna touch what you bring home." She said, as I rolled my eyes, a blush staining my face.
"Sorry, I'm not into necrophilia…" I said, causing all movement on Miku's side to stop.
"You found a body?" she asked, all serious now.
"Yeah… She was gone before I even laid eyes on what was happening… And she's too eaten to rise again. The two eating her are dead." I said, as I looked back at the piles of dust.
"You have a place you can bury her?" she asked me next, as I looked around.
"Afraid not… We're in an alley way. And as far as I know, there isn't an empty park nearby." I said, as I began wondering what I should do.
After a long pause, I heard Miku sigh in annoyance.
"I hate to tell you to do this, but you'll just have to burn the body to be sure." Miku suggested. "And it'll at least let the authorities know that there is a body down that way. Just move the groceries to a safe place so the cops won't pick them up at evidence."
"Hm…" I hummed in agreement before hanging up. I hated the idea too, but we really had no choice. Sighing in annoyance, I set about the task I had been left to. Once the groceries were safely hidden away in another empty alley, I then pulled all my clothes off before turning into a white wolf. And trust me, I hid my clothes just as well as I did the food before running off on four legs. While I carefully held my lighter in my mouth.
When I reached the body once more, I carefully looked around and smelled the air before I turned back human long enough to set the two halves of the body on fire. With that done, I turned from a naked human back to a wolf. Running back to my clothes, I hastily put my pants back on. Don't get me wrong, I'm not ashamed of how I look. It's just that I don't want every woman after my ass. It would be hard to be discreet if I didn't be careful…
Where did I put? I thought, as it started to rain. Oh shit! The groceries! I thought in panic, as I raced to their location. However, by the time I had found them, the few cardboard boxes had already been soaked. Sighing in annoyance, I carefully pulled the wet cardboard box of the thankfully still intact plastic wrapping of cereal. Doing this with the other ones, I then set off home.
"I just had to forget to tie the tops of the bags didn't I?" I asked out loud, as I followed my fading trail back home…
….
Miku…
Growling in frustration as I put my phone back on my nightstand, I mentally berated myself for not insisting that I went with him. I had told him time and time again not to go into a situation like that by himself. If he knew that the victim was already dead and beyond help, then he should have called then waited on me.
Gr… And we have entrance exams tomorrow too! I thought bitterly. We've almost gone through our first day here in England, and already we've got two ghouls down. Sighing, I just let it go. After all, Sai knows what to do, he's done it before, and he came out of it unscathed. The worst thing that could happen at this moment is that the groceries got ruined… Checking the time, I could see that it would be dark soon. Getting up, I grabbed my suitcase, and began unpacking my personal belongings. Once that was done, I walked out into the kitchen to see what we had, and what we didn't. Once I had a mind of what we had and didn't, I then went into the living room.
Taking the time to grab my latest book from my room, I then sat down on the couch, and cracked it open. Before I knew it, ten minutes had passed before a water logged Sai came in the door, slamming it behind him.
Upon seen the water he dragged across the floor, I couldn't help but sink down on the couch in annoyance. Hearing it, Sai threw me a questioning glare.
"I'm not cleaning it up." I warned in a slightly annoyed voice, as I nodded in the direction of the entry way. Looking, he at least had the decency to look sheepish, before suddenly sitting in a corner, drawing circles in the wall. Blinking over at my brother, I rolled my eyes as I got up off the couch. Knowing that he wasn't going to be very much help until he forgot about it, I just went into the kitchen to put the stuff away.
When that was done, and I walked back out into the living room to see that my twin brother hadn't moved an inch, I simply went into my room, and straight to my secret stash. Pulling the small wrapped object into my hand, I slowly walked over to my depressed brother until I stood behind him.
Unwrapping what I had got for him, I held it out towards him and waited…
One… Two… Three… Bingo… I mentally thought, as Sai stiffened up where he sat by the time I passed one. Whirled around when I was at two, and had snatched the chocolate resse's cup from my hand by three, and had it devoured by the word bingo…
Not long after it was down his throat, was I then enveloped him a huge hug.
"YAY! MY SISSY LOVES ME!" He loudly declared, as I rolled my eyes, an amused smirk on my lips.
"Yeah, yeah… Now let go, I've got food to cook. I'm starving…" I said, as he let go of me, and went back into his room. Moments later, I could hear him playing his guitar, and humming the lyrics to a new song he was inventing. Shaking my head at my brother's humorous antics, I went into the kitchen to make dinner. Hamburger Helper of all things. I guess he just wanted me to take it easy tonight…
Yeah… That's my crazy assed lovable brother… I thought as I grabbed what I needed and began…
….
Integra…
"So they really are here…" I said, as I looked up at Simon, the head of my intelligence division here at Hellsing, who nodded in reply.
"It would appear so Sir… The police department turned this case over to us the moment they noticed that something had eaten parts of the victim completely. And the piles of dust left behind are much in the same manner as the ones found in the United States." Simon said, as I looked down at the files and pictures that had been provided.
The body had been torn to bits, eaten, and then set on fire. It was strange, really, because ghouls aren't normally that intelligent. They wouldn't think for themselves like this, and why would a vampire leave the shell of its meal's disposal to its ghouls who would easily leave clues behind. Sighing heavily, I pulled out a cigar and lit it.
"Very well… You are to report should you hear of something like this again, but until then you are dismissed." I said, as Simon bowed before leaving.
With him gone, I sat back, and took a long drag of the cigar hanging from my mouth. What Alucard had said was unsettling. Two beings I know next to nothing about are here in London, and it is unclear as to which side they are on. Are they last remnants of that wretched millennium? Are they just agents of darkness that decided to plague humanity? Or are they on the same side as us? Just one huge, suspense filled question without an answer up in the air.
"You wish to know if they are a threat to us." A voice said from the shadows, as Alucard appeared. Not unused to this, I just looked up at him. I had forgotten once again that he is now everywhere and nowhere. With it being a new power of his, all it will take is some getting use to it.
"Well, are they my servant?" I pressed, as Alucard looked wistfully out the window. I never thought I'd ever be able to put that kind of word towards him. I thought in bewilderment.
"Killing them would make things… Uninteresting." He said, as I sent a well-placed glare his way.
"That does not answer my question, Alucard! Now are they a bloody threat, or are they not?" I demanded, as he just smirked at me.
Instead of answering me, he just disappeared. Growling under my breath, I just took another draw off my cigar. I could almost practically hearing Walter in my head saying, he surely is a monster isn't he?
"Curse you Walter… For ending up being a traitor…" I muttered, as I looked through the files once more.
…
Miku…
Beep. Beep. Beep.
THWAK!
Did I ever mention that I really hate mornings? No? Well, I really do. Crawling out of bed, I pulled on the pair of shorts I always kept on hand in case of late night emergencies. Once they were up, I walked past the mirror, ignoring the horrid image that would greet my tired eyes, and out my bedroom door.
Walking down the hallway, I simply banged on my brother's door until I heard the tell tail Go away from inside.
"Get up Sai… We've got to get to school soon. We've got entrance exams." I said through the door, not even bothering to open it with the way I knew my brother slept.
"I don't wanna." I heard from inside.
"Fine, I'll eat all the chocolate by myself." I said simply, before I heard some rummaging around followed by a loud crash. A moment later, Sai had the door open, wearing a pair of shorts and no shirt.
"I'm up, damn it Sis." He grumbled, as he headed for the shower, throwing me a dirty look as he went.
"Don't drown." I said sarcastically, to which he threw me the finger.
Smirking in amusement, I went into the kitchen, and poured myself a bowl of cereal Sai had got yesterday. Fifteen minutes later, Sai entered the kitchen with a towel around his shoulders, and got his own bowl of cereal. Munching on the Count Chocola (Couldn't resist… Never had it myself though…) I had, I watched as he sat down, and blinked at it for a few minutes before taking a bite.
"You awake over there?" I asked, as I giggled a little bit.
"Sort of." He said, as he took another bite.
Shaking my head, I picked up my empty bowl, and took it to the sink. Washing it out, I then turned to leave.
"I'm in the shower if you need me." I said over my shoulder, as my brother barely nodded his head in response.
After my shower, I just pulled on some black jeans, and a dark blue top that had sleeves, but a portion to show the round of my shoulders off. They looked similar to civilian clothes, but they also granted me the mobility to fight if I were to be caught up in something I can't get out of. Brushing out my shoulder length aqua blue hair, I looked my appearance out in the mirror. I really wasn't anything to look at. Except for the strange hair and eye color I have.
I was born with aqua blue hair, and matching color eyes. They looked strange with my pale face. Sai has the same color hair as I do, but instead of having aqua eyes, his are gold. And instead of a normal pupil, we both have slits. Thankfully though, we've been able to play our strange eyes off as contacts. Either way, I'm just happy we didn't live in the time that contacts hadn't been invented yet.
Sighing heavily, I just put the strangeness of my hair and eye color out of my mind, and left the bathroom. Heading to my room, I then slid on my boots, and tucked my hidden knives down in the shoe. Ever since we were little, Sai and I were taught how to use weapons by our father, behind our mother's back. His excuse was that we might need this information to survive some things that may lie ahead for us.
Daddy… I miss you… I thought, as I reached over to the picture on my night stand. It was of the four of us, my father, mother, Sai, and me. In the picture, there was a person who stood off to the side that was scratched out. That person was our mother. Her name is Katherine Sanguine, and all I know is that she's a pureblooded vampire only God knew where.
I don't remember much about her, but I do remember that she abandoned us at a young age to our father. She just suddenly cut ties with us at the drop of a hat, and we haven't seen her since. Sai doesn't really even remember her, and he never once considered her to be our mother either. Instead, he sees me as more of a mother than Katherine would ever be. But anyway…
A few years after she left, our father was killed in his line of work. Hunting creatures like ghouls and vampires. In fact, it had been a master vampire that had killed him by the name of Kirion (Key-ree-un - (First syllable of "onion" for the last part of the name.) or something.
When I got a bit older, I learned all that I could about him. All I could find though, was that he was as old as dirt, and he originated from the Carpathian Mountains. There wasn't much of a trail to follow, showing that he had lived longer than anything I've ever come across before.
Like Sai, our father had golden eyes with a slit for a pupil. However, unlike us, he had natural silver/white hair, and slightly tanned skin. Other than that, the only resemblance we have to him is the majority of the shape of our faces. Besides that, Sai has the same height and build as father did.
"Sis, come on! We're running late!" I heard Sai call, as I cursed for letting my mind wander off like that.
"I'm coming!" I shouted back, as I grabbed the over the shoulder book back I kept with me. With that, we headed for our new school. St. Maria University. (Not sure if it's a real place or not, I just made the name up on the spot…)
…
Nearby…
"Have the preparations been made?" Asked a cloaked and hooded figure.
"Yes, Milord… They are awaiting your orders." The servant standing next to his master said, also hooded and cloaked, but in a more plain fashion.
"Good… I want those abominations brought to me. I want the male's head, but I want the female alive." The master ordered, as the one of many servants bowed low.
"As you wish Milord." The servant said, as he slinked back into the shadows.
"Soon, you will be mine boy…" the master said to no one but the wind. "Soon you will pay for accepting my gift, and refusing me…"
…
Miku…
Sighing in relief, I headed out front to meet my brother. I had been pestered all day by the idiotic fan boys that had accumulated around me in the single first day I had been at school. Really, didn't they have anything better to think about than the junk between their legs?
Jeez, Sai had the same junk, and he never let it get in the way of his studies. I may not like the idea that he's slept with a woman or two before, but he always put his learning first. It's the main reason why I just disapprove, and don't stop him. I may be the elder twin by twenty minutes, but I'm not his dictator, and certainly not his wife.
Arriving at the front of the school, I found myself scowling at the group of girls Sai was flirting with. And the way they just slid right up to him in his personal space. As I got closer, I winced at the strong ass perfume they were all wearing. Looking up at Sai's controlled expression, I briefly wondered how in the world he could stand them being that close.
Upon seeing me, he told his ladies that he had to fly. They all let out a disappointed aww before turning a leaving. Once they were gone, he walked over to where I had stopped, unwilling to go any closer.
"Hey Miku." He said cheer fully, as I gaped up at him.
"How in the hell are you able to withstand that stench?" I asked him, as he just shrugged his shoulder.
"By discretely breathing with my mouth when the wind blew it away from me." He said, as I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, whatever… So, what's your schedule like?" I asked him, willing and wanting to put the subject of his flirtatious habits behind us for now.
Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a slip of paper, and showed it to me.
"Wow, I think we have a few similar classes." I said, as I reached into my school back to get my schedule, only to end up with empty air. Looking down my side, I saw that I had forgotten my school bag. Cursing my luck, I handed Sai his schedule.
"Just chill out Sis, we'll just go back and get it." Sai said, as he took a few cautious steps back. Waving him off, I turned to head back on my own.
"Nonsense. I'll be back in just a minute or two." I said, as I began walking off.
"Sure, just don't take too long, or they'll try and catch you." Sai warned, referring to my fan boy club.
"Oh, don't remind me." I said, as I walked out of hearing range. Within moments, I was back in my last class, and went right up to where I had been sitting. And thankfully, my bag was right where I had left it. Picking it up, I turned to leave, only to pause when I heard a loud thud coming from the professor's office.
Getting a sinking feeling, I slipped my bag over my head, and reached down to my boot. Silently slipping the knife free, I hid it behind my thigh. On silent feet, I walked up to the door separating us. Turning my back to the wall, I opened my range of senses, and listened. Inside, I heard a groaning sound, and the sounds of something eating something.
If I had been any normal college student, then I would think that the professor was just getting it on with another professor. However, the scent that accompanied the sounds did not indicate that sex was happening beyond that door.
No, there was a ghoul in that room. Easing my hand to the door handle, I slowly, and silently turned, and opened the door. Inside, I saw the ghoul back away from the professor, who stood up a moment later, the same creature as the one that had attacked him. I now had two ghouls on my hands.
Throwing the knife I held into the head of the original ghoul, I then kicked the new ghoul away from me as it lunged the moment its creator went down. Getting up as if it hadn't felt anything, it charged at me again. Waiting until he got close enough, I then snatched my other knife from my other shoe, and held it up just in time for the ghoul to end up piercing his own heart.
Once he was down, he then followed the other one into turning to ashes. Cleaning my knife of the blood that had gotten on it, I then picked up my other one, wiping the ash off of it. Placing them back in my shoes, I turned and ran out of the classroom. We were in an infested area, and I was separated from Sai.
However, before I could even get to where I had left him, I was blocked by two male pure blooded vampires.
"Get. Out. Of. My Way." I growled out at them in a cold voice.
"No can do sweet-heart." One of them said.
"We've been ordered to take to him." The other said, as they sneered at me.
"Him? Who are you talking about? Is he the one who set this up?" I demanded, as they chuckled at me.
"You'll see soon enough… And if you come quietly like a good little bitch, we'll even make sure your precious brother dies a quick death." One said, while his partner nodded.
Hearing this had my blood running cold, as pure rage entered my body. Letting out a viscous snarl, I got ready to turn into my wolf form and tear them to bits. However, before I could shift a single air, two gunshots were heard before the two were turned to dust.
Blinking at what was left of them in shock, I froze when a familiar scent reached my nose. A scent I've only smelled in a place that wasn't really a reality. A scent I've only smelled in that field in my dreams as a child, and that one on the plane.
Looking in the direction that the shots and scent were coming from, I went ram rod stiff when I saw the tall man grinning like a madman back at me. It was the man dressed in red, with eyes the color of blood, and hair as black as the darkest shadow…
"There you are… Little one…" He said, in that deep voice of his, as shivers ran down my spine once more. And again, I got the odd impression that I was safe with this man. This man who just killed two of his own kind without even blinking.
If I haven't said it yet, I'll say it now…
First days… They Suck…
