A/N: Whoo whooo! Finally I got a new chapter up! I WANNA HUG SOMEBODY *looks at alucard with a smirk*
Alucard: *pulls out jackal and aims it at me* don't even think about it…..
Me: Alright fine…..remember people I DON'T own or profit anything from Hellsing…. It all belongs to Kouta Hirano and Studio Madhouse.
Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep…
It was an insanely bright light that blinded Lalia from seeing anything but she could hear faint voices. She felt as if she was drowning but without the water, every breath was constricted and shallow.
"I died?" she thought sadly to herself
No of course not
"Then where am I…oh crap I'm stuck in limbo aren't I!"
Why don't you focus and find out for yourself and the voice left her by herself so she concentrated on the voices she heard earlier.
"Multiple gashes and stab wounds, bruising everywhere on the body, bite marks, slight tearing of the vaginal area from a foreign object, and concussion"
A male voice called out while Lalia thought about when that bastard took the handle of his knife and shoved it inside her making her bleed. She bit back the tears that wanted to fall as he stroked her with the blood coated knife. A female voice started talking to male saying that who could have done such a sick thing to a pretty girl
"I'm in a hospital? How and when"
She felt something lightly touch and rub her lip so she got angry and bit the man's finger…hard. Hollering the doctor backed up and Lalia shot up looking at him and the two female nurses, searching the room it had the sterile white floors with matching walls and the sheets would be the same but because of Lalia's blood they weren't; what had her nervous though was the fact that the room was closed off like a solitaire prison room. White flashes of light was in her vision making it hard to focus on what was in front of her so she closed her eyes to let them get use to the bright light.
"Where am I?" She asked but nobody said a word nor moved and that started to anger her.
"Don't play the silent game with me! Where am I?"
Silence was the only thing that answered back so Lalia closed her eyes again and slowly breathe to keep her temper in check as one of the nurses reached for the sedative just in case it was needed. Suddenly the machine taking the wounded girl's vitals beeped madly as she ripped the needles from her arms and began to shake and choke the doctor with unknown force. He was gasping for air and gripping her arm while the other nurse tried desperately to pull them apart.
"Tell me right now you son of a bitch? Where is this place?"
Lalia's head went back and she thrashed at a sharp short pain of a needle entering her neck but instantly calmed down as the sedative worked her system.
"Come on lets lay back down" a nurse whispered to her as another nurse helped the woman put the girl back in the bed and strapped up her arms and legs. The doctor backed away from the girl coughing violently and gasping for air. He needed to speak to Sir Integra so he pulled himself together and left the room in a hurry. Dr. Hughes was walking down the hallways to Sir Integra's office rubbing his sore throat; he still couldn't believe that a girl like that could have so much strength to virtually break his windpipe. He knocked on the door and waited on a reply "Come in"he walked in and sat in one of the empty chairs in front of her desk.
'Ah doctor….how is the girl?"
"She is asleep right now…her condition is stable and she should make a good recovery"
"Excellent"
"She has anemia but it's not severe, the most will happen is she will faint...and also I fear for her mental health"
He toke a moment and sighed while figuring out what was the best way to tell this cold-hearted leader that he was going to stay and give this girl the care she needed or she will snap without being snapped on.
"I suggest I stay here a little while longer to observe her progress and then I'll leave but I'm going to leave one of my nurses here...the girl will need treatment for her anemia"
Sir Integra looked up from her paperwork with a blank expression before reaching for another letter to sign. The doctor thought he had been turned down because he was being ignored so he stood to leave and turned away.
"You are granted a small staff….but if I don't see any progress you will leave immediately are we clear?"
"Yes we are" The doctor toke his leave and started walking back to his patient and workers.
Back in Integra's office Alucard fazed through the walls and stood in front of his master grinning ear to ear. Sir Integra raised a delicate eyebrow at him as she waited for him to give his report.
"Well?"
"This human has more to her than meets the eye"
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know yet...her mental defenses are surprising for a human and a regular human would have laid down and waited for death but she fought"
"It seems she interest you Alucard"
"What interests me is that she was bitten and still human...that's interesting"And with that he dissolved into a cloud of shadows.
Rose shook her head and asked herself what she was getting into, when Dr. Hughes came back to the room he announced that he was staying to further take care of the patient so he needed some nurses to stay; since she didn't have anybody to go home to or anything and she wanted to help she volunteered first. Now she was assigned to be the girl's caretaker which hopefully wouldn't be problem she hoped but then her mind went back to how she chocked Dr. Hughes and she prayed she would survive.
"Whoever is staying with the doctor please follow me to your rooms while the others follow this soldier to the door"Walter called out while watching the some of the staff leave with the soldier then he and four other female nurses walked up a flight of stairs then down two hallways before getting to the bedrooms.
"I did the liberty of putting all of you by Ms. Dane's new room so it wouldn't be an issue of getting to her"
Walter opened each door for the nurses then told them that if he was needed that he would be in the kitchen and dinner would be served in two hours. Rose walked over to the queen sized bed and put her clothes and things down before glancing around the room, the room consisted of a queen sized bed, a night stand with an intercom, a table with two chairs, a huge bathroom and the biggest closet she had ever seen. My living room isn't even this big she said walking over to the window and opening the drapes. Rose gazed happily out the window, one of the personal gardens was in her view and she wished she could go down there.
Knock knock
"Hey Rose it's time to move the girl into her new room"
"Okay I'm coming" she called before smoothing out her nurse uniform and joining the other three nurses.
A wheelchair's wheels squeaked as it was pushed down the hallway, Rose looked at Sam and her other co-workers walking in silence and sighed with relief. The move was going good so far and there wasn't any kicking and screaming like she expected to be which mean today may end well. Lalia sat calmly in the wheelchair with her eyes closed and she listened to the other bodies breathing and the squeaking noise of the chair, trying to bring her body from under the sedatives spell she wiggled her toes and fingers. She just woke up from her earlier 'outburst' and was told she was staying here in this house under close supervision until she healed physically and mentally, of course that didn't sit well with her but she couldn't protest since she just came from under the medicine. Why must you be so hard-headed? This is only going to make matters worse for you that little voice in her head nagged on and on. I don't want to stay here okay! I am grateful they helped me but this place isn't my home. So the first chance I get I'm going to run for it and there isn't anything you can say to change that so leave…now When Lalia felt she again was alone she turned her attention to the people surrounding her and listened to their conversation.
"I'm serious doctor are we getting paid extra for this because technically this is overtime"
"Sam it's not about the money…..it's about helping make sure this girl gets better"
"I agree with Rose"
"Of course you would doc"
"Hey what's that supposed to mean?"
"It means you can be cheap at times"
"Not true"
"I do have to agree with Sam"
"I thought you were on my side Rose?"
An eruption of giggles filled the hallway as the nurses laughed at how immature the doctor looked as he pouted at them then flashed them a big smile. They were so engrossed in their own conversation that they didn't notice the black/blue haired girl reaching for the iv in her left arm. Then just as good things were going they change to bad as she ripped the needle out her arm and jumped out the chair, Sam grabbed Lalia's left arm and another nurse tried grab her right but she snatched and spun away from them; Rose felt the Wheelchair's force hit her in the stomach and she fell over while Dr. Hughes and the other nurse chased after girl. The adrenaline pumping furiously through her veins had her body so hot that she thought her insides were melting but she kept running and dodging soldiers. Lalia didn't have a plan or anything, she just knew she needed to keep running and looking for an exit. She stopped and looked confused at the walls have I seen this picture before? That means she was going in a complete circle… Great just fucking great! This jus- oh her blue/green eyes settled on a long staircase that seemed to go all the way down to the ground floor so she hurriedly ran over and down the steps. Lalia's anemia didn't like the strain she was putting on her recovering body, breathing became harder and her eyes began to burr badly. She wiped at them constantly and not paying attention she missed a step and fell all the way down the rest of the stairs. Hughes and a group of men ran towards where they heard a cry and gasped at the sight of the girl laying there motionless. Their eyes widened in surprise as she slowly picked herself up off the floor then wobbled on her feet before sprinting out the door into the yard.
In Sir Integra's office
Sir Integra was in her office rubbing her temples as Walter served her afternoon tea; she nodded thanks to him then picked up the cup and sipped. The day was going as usual until she heard the screaming and then got a call from one of her men saying that child has gotten lose and was currently running wildly around the mansion.
"Interesting child she is wouldn't you agree Sir Integra?"Sir Integra looked at Walter and scoffed
"More like a child who isn't getting her way so she acts up"
"She is new to this after all plus she doesn't know who or what we are" The blonde woman reached for the burning cigar in the ashtray and toke a long drag of the nicotine.
"We also don't know who or what she is either, Walter would you-"
"Find out who this girl is? It would be my pleasure"
Outside
This place was way bigger than she thought it was and instead of going in any direction to get out she always ended up in the same spot, Lalia cursed her luck. Now currently hiding behind some bushes that kept the sun off her and hiding from her chasers, slumping down on the ground she started to think of a way out of here. A tree rustled next to her and a single leaf fell into her lap, picking up the lush green leaf and looking at the pretty oak tree that it came from she notice it was close to the wall and grew above it. Smiling happily at the tree then kissing the leaf she looked between the bushes at the gathering soldiers a couple feet away from her hiding spot okay I can run and get a head start then climb the tree and jump over the wall. Taking in a deep breath and letting it out she ran out of the bushes towards the soldiers at full speed, turning to see the girl they were chasing running towards them they got ready to stop and grab her but before she got close enough Lalia turned and ran for the tree.
"She's going for the tree! Stop her"Dr. Hughes yelled to the soldiers as they too ran for the oak tree to catch the girl. Stopping dead in her tracks Lalia looked at the soldier blocking her way to the tree but then a smirk came on her face and a clueless look on his; grabbing hold of a smaller branch she launched herself feet forward and kicked the soldiers down and started climbing up the tree.
"Don't do it girl….you're not going to make it"
Lalia turned her head back to the doctor and snarled. "Fuck you!"
"Dammit girl come from down that tree or somebodies going to get hurt"Her blue/green eyes looked at how far she was from the ground if she was to fail and fall so instead she concentrated on going across this branch but when she toke a step forward it broke.
"Ah!"
"See I told you now please don't jump"
Closing her eyes and zoning out the other voices surrounding her she tried to calm her jumping nerves and heart.
You should listen to the doctor and get down but of course you're going to be an idiot and do this anyway.
Well since you know this then why are you talking?
I am trying to give you a last chance and do the smart thing.
…I think I'll pass
Lalia breathed slow deep breaths and slowly started to walk across another larger branch, everybody watching had their breath held and hoped the girl wouldn't fall to her demise. She was almost across and was ready to jump when one of her feet slipped off the side of the branch, thinking quick she grabbed another lower branch before she fell. Rose and Sam ran towards the crowd outside and started weaving through the crowd of soldiers.
"Doctor where is the girl?" he didn't answer the young woman but pointed at the tree instead; her chocolate brown eyes followed up the tree to the dangling girl and gasped.
"Will somebody please go get something to help her down?"
"H-How…what happened?"
"Climbed up the tree and tried to jumped but before she could she slipped and almost fell"
A group of soldiers went to go get something for the girl to land in while Lalia tried to pull herself up on the branch but when the branch made cracking noises she stopped trying and just hoped it wouldn't break on her. The men came back with a tarp from the shed and fanned it open underneath the girl.
"Okay now you can let go of the branch"
The girl looked down at the awaiting men with the tarp then at the wall of freedom.
"You want to stay up there forever girl?"
"It's Lalia you dumb-"Before she could finish her sentence the branch broke and Lalia went hurling down into the tarp screaming, after being helped to her feet she got her hands and feet bonded before getting carried off to her room.
It was in the evening of the day, after the fiasco outside everyone went back to their daily routine. Rose was in her patient's room putting up the clothes in the boxes that the soldiers brought by earlier today. She was thinking about putting up the other things they brought but thought best if Lalia would mess with those so Rose stacked them in a neat pile until they were unloaded. Turning back and looking at the sleeping black/blue haired female her eyes softened at the sight. One of the girl's hands was behind that mess of hair and the other sprawled somewhere else, eyelids hiding those unique ocean water eyes that she likes so much and pink plump lips parted as she mumbles incoherent words; her chest rises and falls slowly with each shallow breath, she looks at peace. After putting away all of the clothes Rose left to go back in her room to relax but before she could get settled down on her bed someone came knocking. Sighing she went to the door and peeked out
"Oh Mr. Dornez ….how can I help you?"
"The other female nurses and doctor are going to their houses to get extra clothing so I came to see if you are going with them as well"
"Oh! It slipped my mind let me get my purse and I'm ready" Walter nodded and the woman walked over and picked up her purse and turned off the monitor before leaving out the room and down the hall with the man.
Why is it so cold? Why can't I see anything? Ahhh! Huh was that someone screaming? She tried to move her body but nothing move so she tried to open her eyes and she got the same result. Ahhhhh! The smell of blood came heavy into her nose which made her heart started pumping fast and she couldn't breathe. Come on come on! Open dammit? As if they listened her eyes opened and she looked franticly around the room for whatever she heard earlier, her breath was caught in her throat when she saw crawling bugs and disorientated grinning faces floating around the room. Her eyes went wide at the sight of a blonde man lying at the bottom of a long staircase without legs and then there was this shadow-like figure in front of him with his back to her. Heal your legs and stand up…the night is still young Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! The figure yelled at the man with an excited tone as the other trembled with fear. You damn monster! Lalia watched in awe as all of that disappeared in a blink of an eye and it was nothing left but the man, the shadow-like figure and darkness. So…I was wrong about you huh? Your nothing but shit! Shut up! You're just a damn plaything! You can't even call yourself a- The blonde man didn't even finish his sentence because he was too terrified at what was sprouting out the shadow's shoulder; it looked like a giant six-eyed dog to the girl. The man shot wildly at the dog as it sprang forth and ate him whole, Lalia closed her eyes tight and tried not to listen to the crunching sound of bones, the screams, and the blood sloshing on the floor. Her body jerked forward off the pillow as her breath came in short burst of air, the moonlight made her skin glisten from the sweat rolling off her body. Chills ran up and down her spine just thinking about the dream again it's just a dream Lalia settled her head back down on the pillow and laid there until she fell asleep.
At Rose's house
The brown haired nurse picked up some of her favorite books to read so when she was not needed there would be something to read, making sure she had enough clothes and locking the front door Rose jump back in the car with the other nurses and left. After getting back to the mansion the nurses said good night to each other and left to their rooms. Rose put her things down and turned on the monitor to the camera in Lalia's room still sleep thank god. Her eyes drifted to the bath room I think I'll take a hot bath with that thought she dug in her bag for her supplies and headed for the tub. Walter was in the kitchen cleaning up the last few dishes from dinner and drinking some tea
"Hello Walter"
"Oh evening Miss Victoria"
Seras went over to the refrigerator and grabbed a blood pack, opened it and started drinking her snack.
"So what are those people doing upstairs?"
"Remember the girl I spoke to you about…they are here to make sure she makes a good recovery"
"Oh yes! What does she look like?"
"Well In have-"
"Is she nice?"
"I really don't know"
"Does she like movies" Before the draculina could finish her onslaught of questions Walter held his hand up to hush her
"I really don't know anything about the girl yet"
"I'm sorry Walter…I guess I got too excited about having another girl in the house" she sheepishly said while rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment while he smiled back at her.
The moon shined down into Lalia's opened window giving the room a slight glow. Rose sat on the side of the bed patting the girl's head with a cold towel because her body was really hot. She had already given her something for the fever and given her a dose of medicine to keep her sleep all through the comfortable enough to leave her she hung the towel up to dry and left the room for her own.
Somewhere in a dark place two figures sat together in silence.
Are you sure about this?
No I'm not completely sure but I have faith...
What if the outcome is more bad than good?
Then i take that chance...
...
I must go and prepare...everything is already in motion
Please…..don't go
The female figure smiled at the other and said we will meet again some day
