Hey, thanks for the views! I'm glad people like the story so far but remember if you have any ideas don't be afraid to tell me. I'll take them into consideration J
Oh and should I put more Alucard POV's, it seems like he isn't getting a lot of spot light lol so this chapter is mostly about him.
Enjoy
Alucard's POV
There were guns being fired in the direction behind me when I was staring at the girl and her partner I had generously helped out hours ago.
I turned my heels in that direction to find out what had happened but before I could get any farther Walter met up with me. Either he was close by or he still had some strength in him…probably the first one.
"Alucard there has been attacks in the lobby. They are confirmed to be ghouls on the ship attacking people." I motioned him to tell me on our way there.
I let out a toothy smirk, "It looks like I will have some entertainment after all."
Walter was keeping up with me pretty well, "Some of the Hellsing soldiers are holding them off for now but we need to hurry. There are about ten of them at the moment and possibly spreading. We need to make sure your not in your form you are in now so we won't blow our cover." I nodded.
"Is that my new toy, Walter?" I was looking at the large brief case he was holdering.
Walter gave out his own evil smirk, "Yes, it is."
We stopped so Walter could give the new weapon. "It is the first of it's kind, Alucard so I expect you treat it like a baby." I was growing impatient. I wanted to try it out now. Walter set the case down and opened it and it was a long weird shape gun, the casing was around the middle of the weapon and looked heavy. "Walter, what is that thing?" I was captured by it's unique qualities, it spelled out perfection.
"This, my dear sir, is a tubby gun, (A/N: I'm sooo srry but I didn't know what its called, the one gun that alucard has in the dawn series) it sends out approximately thirty seven rounds in seconds and I improvised it by putting in Macedonian silver bullets with silver tips. Also I wanted a little bit more weight to compensate for the lighter bullets and I made the gun longer because the handle needed the added weight to counter balance for the ammo and the slightly more circular barrel."
I took the gun out of the case to admire it more, besides the name it fitted Walter's perfection. I voice came from behind us, "You orders are to search and destroy, leave no FREAK standing and no innocent blood spilt. Now, go vampire!" Integra ordered. It was her business voice, the one that held no grudge or hatred. That order I will follow with no complaints.
As I bowed my body was being covered in a red and black cloud that changed my form. "Yes, my master, Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing." My voice became more child like. The form they saw was of a fourteen year old girl. I was dressed in all white, white scarf, soft hat, shirt, coat, everything. My hair had some purple though and it was a lot longer.
I ran to the destination and got there in time to help the pitiful soldiers. They were having a difficult time disposing them, they should be lucky I'm here. The area had been evacuated but I could tell what Walter meant by possibly spreaded. There was about five people that I've seen around the ship that have been turned into ghouls, not counting the other fourteen.
"Hold them back, don't let any of them through!" The soldiers were on the stair well that had the decorated clock in the middle.
"Tell your men to fall back." I flung the gun over my small shoulder, "I got it from here."
The captain looked at me dumbfounded, "What are you doing here kid! Get out of here!" He was trying to push me away. I growled at him and pointed my new toy on his forehead, "I work for the Hellsing Organization as well. We are Britain's, well was Britain's, hope in destroying these things along with vampires, now. GO YOU IDIOT!" I made sure he saw my fangs. He noticed it and his eyes widen. The man got who I was. To some of the soldiers that went on missions that I was on only saw a little girl, Hellsing's ultimate weapon.
"Right….Move out men, will secure the area for no innocent's interrupt your….job." the captain looked at me for the last part. Once they left I looked at my target practices. I smirked wildly, "Now, let's test this toy out." When I pulled back the trigger, the force pushed me back an inch. The bullets were firing faster than any weapon I have seen before. The ghouls were dropping like flies. I couldn't help holding back my laughter, one that sounded wild and crazy. I sensed some of the soldiers' ,that were close, fear from the maniacal laugh I let out.
Again, again and again. I aimed right for the head or the heart. These people didn't want to become ghouls, the decent thing I could do was to end it quickly. But I must say, I was enjoying myself a bit more than I usually do. One ghoul had made its way behind me and tried to attack me.
I turned around swiftly, stretched out my small white gloved hand out impaling the ghoul's abdomen and blood spurted from the back of the grotesque wound. The ghoul tried to make it's last sound that was blocked with the blood flooding its throat. I tossed the corpse aside and turned to look at the remaining ones. A women that was around here early twenties and a child. But the child was different, it had red eyes. It had turned into a vampire. He most have created the ghouls when he was trying to feed, but who created the little monster? I smirked at the kid and mentally apologized. "It's just the way it has to be." I said out loud.
"Stop! What are you doing!" A shriek came from the other side of the stair well that over viewed the lobby. It was a women. A short strawberry blonde women with piercing ocean blue eyes. It was the same women I had helped out. Astonishment and anger was written over her childish face.
What the fuck is she doing here? Right then some of the soldiers started taking her away, "IT'S JUST A CHILD!" In the back of the room I saw the other girl that was with her and her partner enter the room, the black haired girl looked at me then at the little vampire and the ghoul. Then from the corner of my eye, I could see the ghoul inches from me and ready to attack. Fuck! I lifted up my gun and when my trigger finger pulled back the bullet missed, for the first time ever, the target and ricocheted off one pillar and flung back to my head. The force of the bullet pushed my head back making my body hit the floor and causing blood to paint the wall behind me with my blood.
I stayed like that for a few seconds. Walter must have melted a lot of silver for the bullets because it took longer for me to recover from the hit. While I was taking a cat nap I could hear a faint scream echo all around me. The words were hard to make out but they sounded frantic. Curses were made back and forth between people. They had a hard time escorting the two women out.
A presence hung over me, "She's just like me." I little voice rasped out.
With that I flung my hand out to the boy and yanked his little heart out. His eyes looked like they were going to pop out. There was pain in them, also sorrow.
"No….your are NOTHING like me." I said firmly. The little body slowly fell to the ground and turned into dust.
I kept my eyes on the dust, "Nothing…"
Soldiers entered the room to clean up. I ignored them and walked out the door to report to Integra without looking back.
Seras POV
I couldn't believe what I saw. There was blood and bodies everywhere. The last thing I saw was that girl getting shot in the head by the bullet. Oh my god, there was so much blood! My body started to shake violently, horrible images flashed around in my head.
"Seraz, are you ok?" Pip put his hand on my shoulder, he felt my shaking. "Oh god Seraz, come down pleasze you need to calm down!" He holded my hands together and tried to soothe me. It didn't help as much, I couldn't get the images out of my head. The ones about my parents started to come out from the back of my head. It was slowly coming back to me. Everything that happened that night.
"What's happening to her?" Danny asked urgently.
"Zhe'z having a break down, ve need go get her in bed." He swept me into his arms. All I remembered was being in Pip's warm arms and felt being carried to my room.
I was almost fully consumed by sleep before I heard some hushed shouts coming from inside the room.
"I think I should tell her NOW Pip." Danny firmly said.
"Tell her vat exactly? Vonce she took off you did too and I lozt you guyz till zome zoldierz took you guyz outzide. Vat the hell are zoldierz doing on the zhip anywayz!" Pip's voice was raising.
I heard Danny sigh, "Look, I'm not sure if you want to know but I think it would be better if I tell her so she can understand somewhat of the situation we were in."
"And I said-"
"Yes continue to be loud, don't mind the poor girl freaking out here." I gently said.
Their attention went directly to me. Pip was asking me if I was alright and if I needed anything. I asked him if he could go get me some fruit since the last time I ate some early this morning way before we won the tickets. Pip left to go get my food. I wanted to find out what Danny was talking about. How did she know what those…things were?
"So you wanna know what you saw?" It was like she could read my mind.
I hesitated but nodded.
She walked over to me and sat down on the bed I was in, which was her's. A soft sigh exited her lips while she finally looked at me. "Those things you saw in the lobby were called ghouls. They are the deflowered victims that were drained of blood." She checked if I was keeping up. "Go on.." I whispered. Danny looked hesitant at first, "the thing is I don't think you'll believe me."
I sat up more, "Danny, I have seen and heared a lot of things. I think I can handle it." This made her laugh but it sounded emotionless, "Ok, ghouls are deflowered humans that have been drained of blood by vampires. They are their zombie like minions that obey them and only think of blood blood and more blood, just like their masters." I stared at her to continue but when she didn't I just couldn't speak. I replayed everything in my head of what she had told me. Vampires. Ghouls. Sadly…I already knew about one of them.
"Listen, I know you want full details on how I know this but not now. You need to sleep." She got up and walked to the door. "But-" "Ah! No butts" She pointed at her but when she said the word. It earned her a smile laugh from me but it was weak. I wanted to tell her how I knew about-
"Go. To. Sleep." She put her hands at her hips. I sighed, "Yes, MOM." I sighed heavily at the mom part. I took one last glimpse outside the small window, the sun was finally setting in the horizon, giving the sky beautiful shades of blue, purple, red and orange. The door shut and I closed my eyes and tried to let the exhaustion take over. Before the darkness took over me I remembered what Pip had told me two days ago about Titanic and what it held for us. I whispered it in my head.
Titanic is the ship of dreams and it holds in it's grasp the future we never thought of and never would have asked for.
Alucard's POV
I was waiting in the room for Integra to come back from the meeting she had with some of the Round Table members. When I gave her my report on the situation she was startled by the fact a child was responsible of changing people into ghouls but most importantly she wanted to find out where the secret vampire on this ship was. They called Titanic the ship of dreams. I like to call it the ship of ghouls because that's what it will be if we let this excuse of a vampire wonder around creating ghouls to do his dirty work. Shameful. I swear on my undead life that vampires are giving me a bad name. What next? Are vampires going to willingly drink animal blood and what, sparkle like some fucking diamond?
My mind wondered to that blond I keep seeing. I've ran into that women three times today. Some call that luck, I call it a curse. Somehow everywhere I go she's there. Even when I thought I wouldn't see her for the rest of the trip after I helped her on the ship she turns out to be at the same place as me. On the deck I was watching her draw the humans that were socializing to one another. Before I was going to turn around and leave I saw her glance up at me. Her blue eyes were staring right me like they were trying to read me, trying to see what my eyes would tell. Ugh! That woman. That insignificant human shouldn't have a right to pull that on me. I am above her.
Then why did you help her?….
The annoying voices were saying in my head. The voices of the souls I've consumed over the years.
Shut up! I was merely feeling generous this morning, nothing else.
But why her?
Could she be different?
No, they are all the same!
"SHUT UP!" I roared.
The door opened to Walter and Integra looking at me strangely. I picked up the gun Walter gave me earlier and tossed it to him, "It doesn't work as well. Must be jammed."
Walter looked at the weapon and sighed, "I said to take care of it like a baby."
"I did, when I shot at the last ghoul it got jammed," I sat back down on the sofa, "Don't get to far ahead of yourself Walter, time is a virtue."
Walter raised a brow, "Oh, and I'm sure you're an expect of virtues, right Alucard?" I smirked at his joke.
Integra walked over to the other sofa facing me. She lit up a cigar and took a long drag. "The situation is under control now. The story is that some drunks got into a fight and some had guns. Not the best of solutions but people these days are so blinded by ignorant bliss that they will believe anything."
I nodded, "So if we are done here, I believe I deserve a drink." My wine bottles were finally found and they contained blood in them so I wouldn't get weak during the trip. "Wait, I have another job for you."
Integra put out her cigar and rested her head on the knuckles of her other hand, "There were two female witnesses during the FREAK breakout. We need to erase their memory before they tell anyone of what they saw."
"A little late to be doing that don't you think?" I asked her. That is the last thing I wanted to do. Seeing that woman.
She pulled out a piece of paper from her breast pocket, "We have been keeping an eye on them after they were escorted away from the area. They both are sharing the same room so it should be easy. This paper has their room number. Go and fix the problem." I grabbed the paper from her hand. "Fine, after this I need to rest and drink. I haven't all day even though I hate to sleep during the night. I'll make an exception."
Integra nodded, "You deserve a good nights rest." She got up and was going to her room, "Integra."
She turned around half way, "Goodnight."
Emotionless or not, I prefer that dull smile then her yelling. "Goodnight, Alucard."
With that I made my way down to the lower levels of the ship. I never been down here yet so I took my time to look around. There was less room down here and it felt suffocating at first. I could hear mothers singing to their children to sleep through the doors, snoring and light laughter. I would never stay in a place like this, so crammed and dull, but it had a peaceful feeling to it.
I looked at the number on the paper then the one on the door. It read 980.
In and out. Then I can get the hell out of here and sleep. I slowly turned the knob and entered the room. It looked deserted but then there was small movement coming from the bed near the window. I made my way to the bed and slowly sat down next to the sleeping body. I pulled back the covers to see which one of the woman there was. As always, luck was never on my side.
The strawberry blonde one was sleeping peacefully, unaware of anything near her. I had a good look at her when I saw her drawing this afternoon but now with the ray of the moonlight I could see she had fair soft skin, full pale pink lips and smooth looking hair. She almost looked like an angel.
I shook my head violently. What am I thinking, she nothing more than a weak human that can be easily taken down my a bullet right in the heart.
I leaned in next to her ear and whispered, "Remember what you saw today, remember the ghouls and the vampires.." It took awhile but the woman finally became restless as she slowly remembered what occurred today. "I want you to think of those ghouls and vampires, picture them in front of you, give me a picture of what your thinking,". As she did as she was told I looked inside her mind. There was me in my other form, the ghouls, the vampire child and the Hellsing soldiers. Right when I was going to tell her to forget it all I saw a fuzzy glimpse of two unfamiliar figures in the background. They were in a room and two dead bodies on the floor next to them. I was going to get a closer look but it vanished.
What did she see that made her want to forget it? I looked back at her, I honestly had no idea why I had helped her. Was it out of pity? Kindness? Or was it because I've been around humans for so long that their kindness is rubbing off on me? (A/N: quote from the first OVA episode! XD). The first time I saw her was not when she rudely bumped into me, but when I was walking around I saw her take down some man twice her size. They were fighting outside a bar and arguing about some tickets. I'm guessing those tickets were for this trip. She had easily knocked him down with a elbow to the nose, she was a strong women.
Curiosity took over me, "Tell me your name."
With a soft blissful voice she answered in her sleep, "Seras…Victoria." And she was quiet again but still restless. Seras.
"I want you to forget what you have pictured in your head. Forget all of it as if it was a bad dream. Erase it from your memory." I whispered my last command to her. I needed to get out of there before my curiosity got the better of me
I planed on just phasing to my bedroom instead of walking there, I just wanted to get some sleep. Before I did that I got off the bed and looked down at her and said, "Goodnight…Seras Victoria." Then I left, leaving her to dream the night away.
