Thanks a lot for positive reviews ! Here a new chapter, but shorter than usual. Hope you won't blame me if shorter means better in this case. Here, Italic Dream/thought. Normal Reality. (I understand myself).


Alucard is nailed to a table, a bunch of demonologists are standing around him, muttering strange words, which sounded to be a spell.
"Where is Mina, where is she! Tell me! Tell me" he yells trying to break the magical bonds grasping his hands and foots.
"Sir Hellsing, the subject won't stand still for the incantation, we can't..."
"You have nothing left count. Don't try to resist the spell." interrupts a voice coming from the dark.
The man moves in the light, it's Abraham. "I have defeated you count. You will now belong to me whether you want it or not!"
On these words the vampire, deprived of his powers, sees himself helplessly stabbed by a wooden stake right in the heart.
The vampire stops struggling, it hurts him, but it was a pain he started to be accustomed to since he was keept captive in Hellsing's basement since who knows long.
"S...So you understood that stabbing me in this spot actually hurts me... You pathetic human scum, you do really think you are stronger than me."
The man rubs the stake in the wound. Making him shut it up."Indeed, it actually looks like it calms you down Dracula. But don't worry, this is nothing compared to what I am about to do with you."
"You know nothing about me, you bastard. You know nothing of what I went through. I had way harder times than this! You are nothing but a coward."he spits at him with a gaze filled of hatred.
"You got a point count...but I am just human, so you would excuse that the only way to defeat you was to use drugs and stab you during your slumber." he sneers back at the vampire.

The Hellsing basement was empty, Seras walked down the stairs with a frail allure, holding in her hands the few gift she received at the infirmary. Her door now opened "What the hell is..."
She was standing in front of a mountain of soft toys, flowers, chocolates, all over her bed. But something caught her attention; her present for Alucard was still on her table.

Abraham stands in front of him, he's standing in his coffin, which is vertically leaned against a wall.
Feeling no bonds restraining his arms he tries to punch him. Strange seals start to glow on the palm of his hands. He can't move.
"You bastard..."
"A free will restrainer spell as you can see." Abraham says tapping on his shoulder.
"Your cheap magic won't last long. I swear it !"
"You are right... from your point of view. It will stay this way as long as... there's a Hellsing of my blood line alive." he sneered at him.
His eyes fill with rage. He tries to force the spell. The seals start to glow again. This time an excruciating pain drills in his chest. He gives up.
"What is this! What did you do?" he asks, still a bit dizzied by the drugs.
"Alucard... Your name will be Alucard, as long as you are my servant."
"Your servant! I'd rather die!"
"But you can't die Alucard. Ahahahah" he snarled back at him.
"Now let's see if we can restrain his actions... Bring her here." he ordered to his butler with a sadistic grin on his face.

Seras came closer to the present. It was still intact. The exact same black sheet with little red hearts patterns was still wrapped around the box.
"I wonder if master would enjoy them right now...
Well...this would make him happy I'm sure! Let's give him a little visit." she thought as she opened her wardrobe to grab her uniform.

A blindfolded blond haired woman entered the room. She looked like Seras, but her hairstyle was different. Her hands were restrained by handcuffs.
"Vlad! Where are you? I sense you near!"she mutters with hesitation.
"Shut up you monster!"Abraham yell with disdain.
"Let her go!"snarls the No Life King.
The Hellsing glared at him with a tint of madness in his eyes.
"Well Alucard, you may now touch the bride." As soon as he spoke those words Alucard was able to move freely.
He got out of the coffin, he thought about killing the Hellsing but she seals started to glow again.
"You can touch her if you want, but not me."he said with a steady evil smirk on his lips.
Alucard was stepping closer to Mina under the dreadful gaze of Abraham. She was calling for her name as she felt him coming closer.
He tried to speak to her via their mental bond but he couldn't. Now right in front of her. He whispers "Mina, I am here. Do you hear me?"
Noticing he was right in front of her, she let herself fall I his arms and mutters in his bloodied jagged shirt. "Vald! You missed me so much! They let me alone in the dark for months."
He takes a look at her wrists; they are just black burnt flesh. "By the gods, what did they do to you... Silver handcuffs ?!"he says taking hold her cheekbones.

The pale looking girl now dressed up after a hot shower. Her wet hairs were still dripping as she left her room with the present in a hand. She was now in front of her master's room. She phased her head through the door to see if he was here. Alucard was standing in the back of the room.
She came close to him, left the present on his table on the way. No reaction came from him.
She moved loser to him. Poked him in the shoulder. "M..Master ? What are you doing?"
He turned toward her, took hold of her by the cheekbones and whispered. "Mina... Mina...Calm down..."
"Huh, who is Mina?" she said as she blushed in surprise.
His face was now a few inches from hers. "Why are your eyes closed?"
"Are you sleepwalking master?" she asked as she caressed a bang of his hairs; no reaction.

Alucard is holding Mina by the cheekbones. He's whispering calming words as he removes her blindfold.
"Monsters catching up, how lovely." sneered Abraham to the couple.
Alucard threw him a glare filled of rage.
Mina strokes her fingers in his hairs to catch back his attention. He turns his head back toward her.
"Your eyes are still so beautiful." he whispers to her.
"Hu... thanks... Looks like you are way gentler when you are sleeping..." Seras replied surprised by the compliment that came out of his mouth.
He approaches for her lips, as Abraham interrupts. "Alucard, I never told you could kiss her... I want you to kill her." Alucard eyes widen.
Hearing his command, his hands start to moves toward Mina's throat. "Mina get away from me, get away!" he yells at her.
The seals started to glow, the pain in his chest became even harder than before. But this time his body won't listen to him.
His hands are now on his throat... they are choking her with inhuman strength. However she doesn't say a word, she stares at him, motionless.
He tries to supress himself a second time as he takes a look to the emotion in her eyes..
Despite his efforts, he shall remains spectator when Abraham orders once again.
"Alucard, my servant, now kill her I told you!" following a megalomaniacal sneer.

She struggles to say a few words.
"A..Alu..Alucard !" she let escape with her very last breath.
Catching his name echoing in the room, the vampire finally opened his eyes.
Confusion leaves him no rest. Having just realized what he did he step back releasing his grasp, horror in his eyes.
"W..wha..what happened ?" he muttered as Seras felt deadlike at his foots.


Aww.. this scene gaves me chills when I check red it. Don't worry for Seras, she's in safe hands !
By the way, do you think that not spacing each line sucks ? I pretty much like it when the text is thick, you can give froms to the text easier. But if you find this displeasant, I'll try to jump lines in dialogs at least.
