When Hell gets Loose

Chapter 3:The Show
~+!Seras's Pov!+~
Blood. So much blood. Bleeding. Bleeding. Never ending. Always bleeding. Grabbing. Pulling. Shoving. Screaming. Always screaming. Running. Just keep running. Don't look back. Don't look back. Just keep running.
I ran from that house of horrors that I had feared. I ran from the scene I was caught dead right smack in the middle. I ran from the angry looking people who always glare at me like I'm a freak. I don't understand what they say to me except punishment,no, and there is no justice. Even these words confuse me. How do they want me to understand something that is beyond my mental capablilty? I do not understand. I fall to the ground in my unstable state. I sat on the cold ground, on my rump that throbbed from the hard landing. I glance up to see a small, funny looking man. His back is turned but he makes it just so that I can see his face completely when he turns to look down upon my wreched state. He grinnes down at me with perfect white teeth. He is plump around the middle it reminds me of my dog, Rosso. His mouth moves and words tumble out. I always hear them but do not understand them. After several minutes of speaking to me about things I would not know, he offered his hand to me. I hesitate for just a secound, but he looks nice to me I clasp his hand in mine and he smiles. His eyes twinkle like daimonds and his skin is soft but cold like the setting that surrounded us. And he led me from that scary place. But then. Later.
Lights. Blinding lights. Thrashing. Snapping. Snarling. Yelling. Screaming. White. To much white. Poking. Prodding. Hurting. Needles. So many needles. Tests. Never ending tests. Crooked smiles. Pretty words fit to lie. Lie. Just keep lying. Don't stop. Don't stop. Just keep lying.
I woke up with a start that I bolted straight up. I closed my eyes and clenched my teeth. Waiting for pain that never came. I slowly opened my eyes and blinked. At first I was confused at where I was but it came back to me. The thing was that I was in a coffin but I fell alseep on the chair in my Master's chamber. I stopped moving realizing that I was making to much noise. I knew I had to get out of there fast before Master catches me in here and gets mad. I crept up to my feet out of the coffin and quietly as I could, fazed into my room.
I sighed with relief and crawled back into my own coffin, releived I hadn't been caught. As I lied my head against my pillow, I realized my body didn't hurt and that it was cold. Extremely cold. I shivered and wrapped my arms around my body. The coldness seemed to seep through my skin to my bone. I bit my lip to numb the coldness but it seemed only to intensify. I closed the lid of my coffin hoping to sterlize some kind of heat in the coffin. But being dead as it is, there is no heat. It was like as if winter was raging inside me.
"So cold."
I muttered there chattering teeth. My throat was dry and I was thirsty. Every movement I made just made my body get colder.
Suddenly the lid of my coffin was pulled open. I didn't bother to look. I felt like I was already frozen to death. Hands reached for me and picked me up. I leaned against the chest of what I'm certain is Master. His warm body seemed to seeth my freezing one into pain.
"Hurts doesn't it? Next time Seras, you might want to be careful about being in the day world."
The soothing voice of my Master Alucard sounded like music to my ears. The world around me was spinning and I felt light headed. I closed my eyes and clutched my Master's chest for fear of being dropped. I don't know why but I felt safe around Master. It was probably one of the reasons I was fond of him. He was the only one who ever made me feel safe and protected.
Soon darkness overwelmed my senses and I became unconscoisios as Master carried me away.
~+!Alucard's Pov!+~
Seras fell asleep in my arms as I carried her from her room to the edge of town. This was the night I was going to teach Seras how to hunt. No matter what I say, I knew she would refuse to hunt them but I know it won't stop her if she it to be deprived. That is how I was taught when I was a fledging and that is how I learned to teach those of the disobetient. I knew my fledging wasn't actually disobetient, frankly quite the oppisite, but I have to remind her who is in charge and who is the one that protects her. Even though she does not know in fact that her unlife is in danger because of the Major. He is out to take revenge on those who destoryed his vampire army.
Seras and I are the only ones left standing out of the group that came and ruined his plans. As the small town steadily grew into focus and became leaning towers that covered the darkness with its own eeri aybss, I leaserly strolled into a backalley. I had confidence that this exercise would work as to teach Seras the ways of the vampire. I gently lied her down on the cobble stoned road and took out the shackles from my jacket pocket. I don't know why I always carried them, I just did for the fun of it. I thought it might be fun against a strong apponent, if I ever crossed pathes with ones. I was gonna use them on the Major once I found him and slowly torture him to death. It seemed like a good idea and it still seems as a appealing to me. I'm just using them sooner than expected thats all and against my own fledging too (which by the way is much more appealing). I carefully locked the shackles on Seras's wrists and hammered the other end of the chains to the wall (I also keep a hammer and bolts in my jacket and so many other fun toys).
I grinned when I finished and stood up to admire my work. Seras's head hung low as she sat crookedly on the ground. In the darkness of the night, if you were to look from a certain angle one might come to think that Seras looked like a chained corpse. I smirked with pleasure at the thought that Seras looks like a corpse from a glance (which by the way she is, knowing all too well, that she is dead. Sort of). I sat down and waited for Seras to wake up. She was shaking like a leaf I felt a stab of pity for her but I didn't lift a finger to help her. There really wasn't anything I could do. When you get bad burns from the sun, you get really hot, then freezing cold, then just plain unbearable pain, and a little tan that fades in a couple of days. Evenchually I fell asleep of boredom.
"-amn you! Master! Wake the hell up!"
I slowly opened my eyes to peer out at that face of my fledging snarling and cursing at me. I smirked with pyhotic pleasure. Seras looked more piss than when we first were reunited again back in the Hellsing Manor. Her hair was frazzled and her fangs were completely exstended. She was lunging for me even knowing that it was futile. The way she looked made me want to get her even madder.
"I shall conclude your pissed."
I teased. She narrowed her eyes as if challenging me to continue. Gladly, I thought.
"Why Seras, may I ask why your chained to this building? How piculer."
I pressed on. Waiting to see her limit. She scowled and her hands grew into claws causing more pressure on the chains. I saw little fictures in them already. I wasn't worried I had spares and at the moment she was the one in pain. I could see her jaw tighten as a wave of pain crashed over her. Seras wheezed for uneeded air and she calsped onto the ground with her shoulders drooped. She was loosing energy as she used more trying to break the shackles. I mentally smiled proude of her determination and endurance.
"Why?"
She gasped. I said not a word as for a replie. She grimaced and leaned against the wall for support.
"Too cold."
She muttered through gritted teeth. She closed her eyes and banged her head against the wall as if to release herself from the pain. It seem to makes things only worse because she didn't do it again. I got up. Seras's eyes fluttered open and she stared at me as if she expected me to do something. I turned and walked out of the alley.
"Bye, Police Girl."
I waved goodbye and took a left to my favorite bar. Its always packed and people come out in groups. I like groups. The more the marrier.
"DAMN YOU TO HELL!"
Seras screamed to me as I walked farther down the street. I luaghed at her fusterated cries. The place is called 'The Demons Feeding Ground' for its excotic falvors of beer. Sometimes I come in and take a beer or two ( more like a dozen). My favorites are the 'Devil's Tongue', 'Life's Gamble' and even every now and then, 'Gabeirl's Rage' strange names for strange bervarges. I meandered around to the back of the building and waited in the shadows. A couple came tumbling out the back door with a waitress yelling after them. The pair mocked the waitress and soon th flailing calls of the bartender ceased. The couple came tripping over in my direction as tispy as God himself.
I stepped out of the darkness and smiled at them. They stopped walking (falling/dragging each other) in front of me. The female had the male's arm around her shoulders trying to be some supporter for the drunk. The girl narrowed her eyes at me as if she could see quite properly and the guy just giggled.
"Hey, hey, Sandra!"
The man bulched. The woman rolled her eyes.
"What Marcul?"
The girl sneered. I watched them exchange a glance that seemed like some mentall battle between the two.
"That guy. That dude guy looks a bit like my uncle Cuz. He has the same typy smile and glasses."
The man whispered before he stumbled to the ground in a daze. I was starting to get bored so I walked up to the and picked him up over my shoulders and grabbed the girl by the shirt and dragged her. The girl gave me a confused look and struggled against my grip. I could tell the alchol was starting to take affect because she was begining to look a bit droopy. The guy was just luaghing hysterically. I hualed them back to the alley where Seras lied shackled to the wall. She had stopped struggled and just sat there staring at me horrified.
"No, please don't tell me your about to drink in front of me? That is just cruel. Don't kill them. I beg of you."
She wimpered to me like a wounded dog. I gave her my famous grin.
"Nope. Your wrong. You'll see what I'm about to do."
I stated as I lied the couple on the ground the way I did to Seras and shackled them to the building oppisite of Seras. The guy had stopped luaghing and was just watching me with his eyes glazed over. The girl was just coming in and out of consoiness. I take it someone spiked the girl's drink but I shrugged not really caring. All the while I was doing this, Seras was boring holes in the back of my head. She was curios and enraged at the sametime. She was hungry. It was radiating off her bad. I was kinda thristy but not enough to make me go crazy in the next few minutes like Seras. I took out a pocket knife from my jacket (also one of my other fun toys). I always loved this town. It was always full and busy at night that when people scream you can't really hear it because of all the traffic and people.
As the knife glinted in the moonlight it caught Seras's eye and she stared at me in fear. I turned to her and presented what I had done to the couple as I waved the knife in the air.
"Now Seras, tonight is your lucky night, I am about to teach you how to hunt properly. But first, the grand show shall start. Refreshments will be for after so you must retain yourself if not then I will."
I repeated the very words my master had told me when I was shackled to a wall in a celler for pissing him off. It was torture because I hadn't fed in over two weeks that was as long as I had been down in that cellar. I hated that place. Still do, actually.
"You should be happy, its your lucky night. Not so much for these two. Quite the oppisite, frankly."
I rambled on with a pyhotic smile on my face. I lifted up the wrist of the male and made a small but deep incesone on the main vien. I did the same for the female. Blood came streaming out and seeped into the cracks of the cobblestoned ground. Seras spoke not a word and only watched with grim fasination. Good. Its working. I thought.
The male was staring wide-eyed at me with fear written all over his face. He didn't say anything but he would soon. The female was luaghing with a smile. I then placed my knife on the vein in the female's arm oppisite of the other arm with the cut wrist and ever so slowly, I slashed the vein open. By now the male was screaming in high-pitched anger.
"What the hell? Sandra! Sandra stop luaghing. Wake up! Damn it!"
The male roared in rage. He kicked me away from him and backed up against the wall. I placed my foot on both his legs and held them down as I grabbed his other arm that wasn't bleeding and made the same cut on his arm. The couples' blood was now a messy pool of crimson liquid that ran down to Seras's knees. My fledging's clothes were begining to stain with the humans' blood. She showed no sigh of interest at the sea of fresh blood. I sighed knowing this was going to take a while.
"Why won't you stop? This isn't right! Stop it, right now!"
Seras cammanded to me as tried to slash at me against the shackles. By now the chains were starting to crack at an alarming rate. I chuckled darkly, as I winked at Seras.
"Now, don't be so demanding Police Girl. The show hasn't even reached its climax yet but it will be here soon."
I announced to her. Her eyes went wide with fear as I pulled back into my jacket pocket and went searching for my other toy. I pulled it out and flicked it on. A blue flame burned eerily in the darkness of the night, casting moving shadows on the walls if the alley.
"Now don't die on me yet."
I muttered to the male as he trembled in fear but was to weak to do anything else. The girl was already unconsioc and her breathing was shallow. I pulled the flame to their wounds and welded them back together again. The man screamed in agonizing shierks that would make any sane creature cringe. Once I was done with the lighter I placed it back in my jacket while taking out a needle and some thread. I glanced back at Seras to see she was no longer paying attention to the little 'game' I was playing, instead she was curled in a ball huddled against the wall tightly hugging herself as if she was afaird that if she let go everything would fall apart. I realized she was at the last stage when burned by the sun. I gently lied the needle and thread next to the unmoving couple that were barly breathing and walked over to my fledging. I reached out to her but she slapped my hand away. She glared at me through rage and hunger. She was reaching her limit, pyhsical and mental and when she got past that she would just drink to her heart's content and keep doing so till that unbearable stage of pain was over.
"Don't touch me with the same hands that you used to torture those humans and god knows who else!"
She preached to me through painful rasps of uneeded breath. I gave her a sad smile. She had hit a hurtful nerve.
"Your right. But I think even God doesn't know everything I have done. Your going to hate me but at least it will help make you stronger so you can defend yourself when I'm not there. He'll be here soon. But until then you shall watch this wonderful show. If you refuse than you shall recieve a more sevare punishment."
I told her going back to my original self. She frowned and I could see a battle going on in her head. She didn't know what to do.
"Watch is all I ask, my Police Girl"
I didn't mean to sound so possive but she clearly didn't catch the way I had said that sentence. She was reluctant, but she gave me a brisk nod. I grinned and got back up to pick up the needle and thread.
"Alright, then, onto the grand finally."
I boasted to her as if she were a audience of a thousand watchers. She looked scraded and held pity in her eyes meaning she felt sorry for the humans no longer caring for their well being. She is starting to understand. I thought. I stitched the couples' mouths and eyes closed and turned back to Seras who was staring at me like as if I was a stranger. She licked her lips as she stared at the blood streaming from the wounds the stitches had made. I put my toys back in my coat and picked up the knife.
"Seras, are you still there?"
I called to her. She gave me a startled look as if she had realized I was here. She nodded but didn't speak. I placed the knife at the male's throat and made a little prayer just to ease Seras's hatered for me a little. Once I was done I slit the man's throat open and repeated the same prayer with the female before I slashed her throat open too. Blood was rushing out in a cascade of crimson liquid that streamed from their drenched clothing to add to the puddle of blood that trailed down to Seras's knees. She lunged for the bodies over and over again as their bight skin began to discolor. The grand finally was over but the show hadn't ended yet. I embraced Seras into my arms and snapped the chains around her wrists. She struggled against my grip trying to get to the drained corpses. I trapped her against the was and she snapped at me through fang-estended teeth.
"Be good. I know you hungry but not here. Okay?"
My words were lossed to her through her bloodlust. Last time she hadn't had anything to drink she grew weak and couldn't move but she was just in pain and had been fed a fair amount recently this week so she wasn't exactly dying but just too much blood near you can drive any vamipre to crazy blood hungry. I fazed us from the alley I had gruesomely played a game with my prey. I pulled us out into the back of one of the less busy pubs and slowly let go of Seras but before she could dash of recklessly into the pub to tare every poor soul in that bar limb from limb, I took out a pen from my coat (which just happen to be in there by the way) and wrote on her arm. I looked in her blood craving eyes.
"Come back before sunrise. Meet me in my chambers. Knowing you, you probably won't remember this so I'm leaving a note on your arm to make sure you get this. And Seras, its okay if you hate me for what I did to those humans. I just want you to know that I-"
I bit my lip so I could make sure that I couldn't finish that sentence.
"I want you to know that I want you to kill everyone in that bar. Drink them dry and have fun."
I encourage her the best that I could and let her go. She didn't glance over her shoulder before she went5 dashing off to have a feast. I sighed knowing that we'll have to go to another town a good distance away from here just to feed. I shook my head.
"Vampires. Can't live without them (mostly because I am one). Can't live with them (mostly a lie too, because Seras and I get along just great, I think).
I recited my thoughts out loud and fazed back to the Hellsing mansion where I could enjoy the rest of my day (till Seras comes back, then I have to deal with her, what a mess it will be) living peacfully (which means making mankins of my Mistress and Pip and his squad shooting the hell out them and rescuing my Master, like a superhereo then I'll go and mess with Seras's panties and throw them across the room and trie to see if I could shoot them, last but not least going back to where Seras went on a blood carving rampage and clean up after her). Yep just resting peacfully.
~+!Seras's Pov!+~
The funny looking man pulled me into a small white room with blinding lights that hurt my eyes. He placed a hand on my shoulder and said something that I didn't understand and patted my head. Then he picked me up and placed me on a small bed just about the right size for me and held me down. He took out a small tube/rod looking thing that I knew was a needle. I hate needles. Always did. I thrashed about trying to get away from the scary thing. I snarled at the plump funny man. As his hand got close to my face I snapped at it and bit down hard. Blood came streaming out and flooded into my mouth.
My eyes fluttered open and I treid to comprehend what was happening. I was in a bar. I could smell the strong alchol that stung my nose. I gazed down at my feet to see bodies mangled and thrashed about all over the blood-strewn floor. My own body was stained with their blood. I looked around widly hoping this was Master's undoing but he was not in sight. Tears stung my eyes but, then I remembered what Master had done to those poor people and the excited feeling that stirred within me as he made them bleed to death. Their blood smelled like sweet honey to me and I was having a hard time concentrating. The only thing that made me stop from going after them was that unbearable pain but in the end I had gotten the blood I so desperatly craved. In the end, I was no better than Master. I wanted to run into somebody's arms and cry myself dead. I was ashamed at what I was becoming or already was. I mean I don't care if I drink blood packets, why should I care if I drink from the real thing?
I agreed with myself and licked off the blood on my hands. Whem I was done I noticed writing on my arm. It was hard to read but I could still read it (sort of).
Seras, come home
in trouble.
Was what it read. I didn't get it. If he was in trouble how did he write it on my arm? I wondered but felt scared. I fazed back to the Hellsing Manor. The house was quite and from what I could see nothing was smashed or broken. I ran from room to room confused and more scared.
"Master! Master!"
I yelled out to the darkness of the mansion. No call of reassurance came. I felt a knot of fear in my stomach and I began to panic. I felt alone and very small like I use to feel when Mistress and Master were gone. It seemed like every time I begin to feel confortable, the people I most care about slip through my fingers like water and disappear like mist. I searched through entire mansion and went down to Master and mine's chambers just to see if he was there. I even tried my luck in the empty cells that hadn't been what look like over in a century (or two) used. I fazed to the roof to see if he was stargazing but as I peered out into the per-dawn night my Master Alucard was far from sight. I sat down and sighed. Alucard was gone once again without no more than even a goodbye to put my unsettling heart to ease. His disappearance frightened me and reminded me that when he left I was alone. It seems as if I am alone yet a second time. I stared out across the star filled sky that was slowly getting brighter as every minute creeped by. When I had found myself getting lonly I usually clean and shined the mansion just to preoccupy myslef.
"What's the point?"
I spoke my thoughts out loud.
"What's the point for what?"
A husky voice called out from behind. I turned slowly and ran into his arms and bearhugged him. I cried right then and there. I was afaird that if I let go he would disapperate. Gentle hands pushed me away but only a little. I glanced up at my Master's surprised face. He seemed guinely confused and concerned.
"What's wrong Seras?"
He asked me as he wiped away my unending stream of tears. He brushed away my bangs so that he could see me more clearly. I stopped crying and stared up at him. Taking in everything from his black trendils of wavy hair down to his mouth that was shaped into a concrened frown. I took a step back and patted his chest to make sure he was really there.
"I thought you had left me again. I don't want to be alone. This masion needs the comfort of more than one soul. Being young forever does have its downsides and forever lonliness is one of them besides a strange habit of doing perfect cleaning everywhere I go."
I explained and felt silly for making unreasonable assumtions. My Master gave me a warm smile that made my heart jump as my stomach did little strange flips.
"I will never leave you without a goodbye. Ever again. I'm sorry for upsetting you. Will you forgive me?"
Alucard gently soothed as he pulled me close while wiping away a stray bloody tear. I nodded into his chest and felt the warmth of the atmosphere as a lullaby to sooth my aching heart. He slowly smoothed out my long hair that had dried in uneven clumps with dried blood from the humans I killed. I didn't feel sorry that I killed them. I felt content that I had caught my prey with ease (besides the fact that I don't remember any of it but could still taste the blood in my mouth so it was me that did the killing). My Master picked me up bridal style and walked back inside as the first rays of light peeked over the horizon.
At that moment I felt a feeling I had never felt before that made me all bubbly inside like a ray of sunshine. Cool air of the dark Hellsing Manor engulfed me and my carrier as we assended deeper into the building. I knew what that feeling of mine was but wouldn't amit it because it would awaken the inner disire of mine that I had since I was a little girl. That inner deisre would destory everything I had worked for only to have it turn to shambles by my bare hands. It was that damn man's fault. He made that desire grow and grow till it suffocated me in my own darkness. Luckily Master was there to save me.
I knew one day, as I buried my face in the coat of Alucard that I would bring hell to that man that pulled me deeper into the scalding kettle pot that would either burn me or drown me to my descided doom. I would torture him to death and turn him into a vampire and keep going on and on till I would be satisfied then just burn him to death in the blinding rays of the sun. A smile formed on my pale lips and a growl of joy exscaped my throat as three words formed in my head.
He will pay.
What is this inner desire stuff that Seras fears so much? Who is this man that she speaks of? What kind of untold tradgies had Seras seen? Why am I saying this? Who gave me the right to write this? What is so important about this story that makes me keep writing? Eh. I don't know. I'll finish it when I get there. You have to stop being to judgmental. Sigh. Sometimes you make me worry. Well, anyway, no mean comments. You may point out grammar and spelling issues. The next chapter will be here in a year. Okay not really. It'll get here as soon as I stop writing it. But I can't continue if you keep reading this sentence. People. They just don't know when to stop. Humph.
