Me: Yeah! Right, thank you. But first! THANK YOU ALL MY LOYAL READERS, NOW ON WITH THE STORY!!!
Chapter 4: Re-Awakening
One might think of this as hell,
Others may think of it as being doomed for all time,
Me… I'm not so sure yet…
Allen sat up. She looked around… And everything was white. Her shadow was split in to four different directions. Allen was highly confused. '… Am I… Dead?' She thought to her self, walking forward a bit.
As she walked forward, the ground began to crack, and cave away behind her. So, as any one else would do as instinct… She ran, ran as fast as she could. Until the entire area blew up around her. She saw things rise up from the ground that looked like zombies. But these ones spoke…
"Ah, look! A teenage school girl!" the first group spoke.
"Young and fresh!" said the second ones.
"Play time!" the final rise of zombies said.
Allen was frozen in place for a few moments. Her worst fear in the whole world, is zombies… She could never stand them, what so ever.
The zombie like things moved forward after her, and she ran the other way screaming. "No! Get away from me! Aaaahhhhhhhhh!" The things just kept chasing after her, and they were getting closer. She felt like she was going to die of fear.
Until finally, the zombies vanished, and she ran head first in to some one tall and strong. She doubled back, rubbing her face. "Ow…" She looked up, and saw the man from before and her dreams. "You."
Alucard grinned his fanged grin. "No. You are not dead. Quite… How does it feel to walk between life and death? Walk amongst the living and the dead… A true half midian of the night…" He leaned down. "You answer to me…"
Allen leaned back, suddenly feeling a wall to her back. She was trapped. "Oh shit…"
Alucard opened his jaws, showing nothing but razor sharp fangs, and then…
"… Gah!" Allen jolted up right, panting heavily and sweating. Suddenly, she saw she was in a bed, but not her apartment… She was in what looked like a stone room. Then she remembered everything that had happened. She quickly lifted up her shirt, and checked her body for any wounds or any sign of them. But there were none. Then she noticed she was wearing a blue PJ outfit.
Allen put her shirt down and looked to her right, but instead of seeing anything normal, she saw a rather un-invited guest sitting there watching her the whole time, none other then Alucard. She jumped and nearly fell out of the bed. "AH!"
Sir Integra Hellsing walked in to the room, followed by Walter and Seras. "You are much to loud. Even if it is more subtle then Police Girl's, your still a guest, show some manners."
Allen blinked a few times, and relaxed again. She suddenly felt like her insides were burning, her head was on fire. But she ignored it, thinking it was paranoia.
"I am Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, this is Walter, and Victoria."
"Where in the hell am I?" She asked, not hesitating to get as much information as she could.
Integra's eye twitched. She wasn't used to having people speak to her that way. But she was willing to keep her cool for now… "You are within the Hellsing manor, in the basement. Or dungeons, how ever you wish to refer to it. And you, teenager, are now a Halfling. The first Halfling in centuries." she spoke matter-of-factly.
Seras was standing in the background, trying to comprehend all this, when Alucard spoke to her mentally. "Police Girl… This is your new neighbor… Good to know you both already get along, hmhmhm…" Seras suddenly felt sorry for Allen. She was still a teenager, and was now trapped with the same fate as her self.
Allen blinked. She was first in shock, before grinning. "Awesome." Integra was in shock, and Walter's monocle fell off of his face. The retainer asked, "A-awesome…?" He couldn't understand who could find this awesome.
She rubbed the back of her head. Both in trying to ebb away the growing pain in her head, and in embarrassment. "Don't ask… I'm a bit of a vampire fan by trade. Ask my school mates."
Integra rolled her eyes, and moved on. "You will, from now on, be working for us. Or, more preferably, for me. You will answer to my self and to Alucard."
Walter held out a female Hellsing Uniform, one identical to Seras Victoria's. Allen took it, and held it out in front of her self, wiping the sweat from her brow. She stared at it, and her eye twitched. "… Oh hell no, not a snowballs chance in hell. I am NOT wearing this!" She said, glaring at the outfit and its miniskirt with pure malice and hatred.
Alucard laughed greatly at this, and stood from his chair at the side of the room. "She despises any feminine clothes of any kind… Much like your self, master."
Integra gave Alucard a glare to end all glares. "I can se that, servant."
Walter decided to step in, leaving the vampire and Hellsing to glare at each other while speaking mentally about god knows what. "Well then… I do believe I can fix that miss…?"
"Allen… Allen Rave." She told him, beginning too feel a bit sickly. She had no idea what was wrong, but the pain was growing and there was nothing she could do about it, but she could hide it well.
The Hellsing butler bowed. "Then, Miss Rave, I do believe I can have a custom black leather outfit made just for you. With the Hellsing coat of arms of course." He stood back straight, and kept Allen from asking further questions. He turned to Seras. "Miss Victoria, can you please escort Miss Rave to the quarters next to yours? I believe a good rest is in order." And with that, he took Integra from the room, who was now fuming with what ever mental torture Alucard had used, and he faded in to the wall.
As the two vanished down the hallway, Seras turned to Allen who had already gotten from bed. Allen soon recognized her right off the bat. "You! Seras!" Seras cringed, knowing she was going to get an ear full.
Allen walked right up to her. "Why didn't you say anything!" Victoria was thankful that Allen didn't go in to a rant. "I'm sorry, but I wasn't allowed to say anything." She said, smiling nervously. She then grabbed the teen's hand, dragging her down the hall way. Allen couldn't resist as a fresh heat flash over came her body, and she leaned in to Seras for support.
As they walked down the hall way, Seras began to notice how Allen was growing weaker and weaker. By the time they had gotten to Allen's new room, she was panting and gripping on to Seras. "Hey, are you alright…?"
Allen nodded her head slowly. "Yeah… I'm perfectly f-fine…" She lied, refusing to admit even to her self that she was getting over come.
Seras opened the door to the room next door to hers, and she nearly yelped from getting surprised. There was Alucard, waiting and grinning. "M-Master… What are you-" She was cut off when he spoke. "She is transferring." He said, and walked forward, letting Seras inside, then scooping Allen in too one arm. He returned too the specially made four poster bed with bed curtains, and dropped her in. "She is still in the process of getting her body to the proper stage for metamorphosis. She must rest undisturbed by any one besides other vampires. That is why she is in such pain."
Victoria stared at Allen, who had now soon passed out and breathing heavily. She was clutching the sheets under her self tightly, while gritting her teeth.
Seras nodded an understanding, when her and Alucard both heard Sir Integra calling them, so without hesitation, they left.
Integra sat waiting at her large oak desk in her office with Walter, Alucard, and Seras. She took a long drag from her cigar, before addressing Alucard first. "… What exactly will she be… What will she be capable of?"
Alucard gave one of his insane grins. His hat and glasses were discarded and left somewhere no one knew. He sat in one of the chairs waiting. "She will be half human, half vampire. She will be almost as powerful, be able to walk amongst humans in the day light, still need feedings of blood and a coffin if we want her as powerful as a true vampire. She will still be vulnerable to blessed silver weapons. And very little effected by just silver, but heal slower. A true assassin, the perfect killer for the Hellsing Organization. And a great achievement. I have not been given the pleasure of a Halfling fledgling in centuries! I plan on enjoying this…"
Integra twitched. "Alucard! Do NOT torment the poor girl, she is still just a teenager." She was not going to let him corrupt her. "Oh, it's to late for that Master. She is already corrupt." Alucard chuckled.
She glared icy daggers at the Hellsing vampire. He had read her mind, and she hated it when he did that. "Very well… Walter, bring Allen a pack of blood-" She was cut off by a sudden outburst from both Seras and Alucard who both said in unison, "No."
Seras spoke first, and quickly as she could See Integra was going to lose her short line of patience. "I'm sorry Sir Integra, but Master said that only me or him may see her while she is resting because she is still going through the process of changing in to a half vampire."
The Hellsing heir snapped her attention to Alucard. "Why is that?" She asked with strict and seriousness in her every word. Alucard answered enjoyably, as this was fun for him. "Because… The moment a human enters that thresh hold of her room, the pain inside of her mind will spread to the human's brain, and begin tearing apart both mind and soul." His tone of voice combined with his grin made every one in the room shudder.
Integra nodded. "Very well. Police girl, you will deliver the blood once Allen has recovered, and Alucard… I order you to stay by her side at all times. We do not need any accidents." She smirked at her self when she noticed how Alucard seemed slightly effected by this. He seemed bored by the idea. But, without a word, he agreed. The No Life King faded in to the floor after a bow to his master, and was warped to the dungeons.
Integra turned her attention to both Walter and Seras. "You two will go to the apartments across the river, and speak with both the teachers and her friends. Collect her things and bring them here. I will personally contact her mother. Say what ever you need, raise no suspicion…"
Alucard sat in Allen's quarters, sitting in a chair while staring straight at the girl lying in the bed. Of course, he may have been bored and would have preferred not to get stuck with this job, but he wasn't completely against it either.
Alucard was fascinated by how strong she tried to be, even in her current state. She was trying to hide as much pain as she could. It was truly amazing. "You are still as stubborn as you always were…"
His mind began to wander to times long since past. His eyes fell to the silver dagger which now lay on the table. He remembered centuries ago when he himself had made that dagger for Allen's past self. Now she was reincarnated, and her memories lay locked. But they still survived the test of time if she was still feeling a connection to his personal blade.
Allen suddenly shifted and jerked to the side, curling up and clutching her stomach. In her mind, she couldn't stand it, but was fighting it out to the bitter end.
Minutes past, Hours past. Not once did Alucard leave that room for anything. Walter had left him three servings of blood within that time, and he had drank two already. Alucard left the third chilled and unopened in the bucket of ice. He had noticed how Allen's condition was worsening, and it was bothering him…
Finally, she was completely limp and gasping for breath. All of her energy was spent. The power of the direct bite and change from Alucard's fangs was starting to be to much. She had fought it and the pain off, and it was now eating at her, trying to consume everything of her. Allen's mind was growing faint as she began question everything about her self and her existence.
Alucard could take this no longer, and he swiftly lifted from his seat to the bed. Pulling him self on to it, he waved his hands. The bed curtains closed, leaving them in dim light, as he pulled Allen in to his lap. He grew concerned when he could just barely hear her thoughts. "Little Child, speak to me. That's an order. Listen to your master…"
Allen's mind seemed to twitch to life from his comment and nick name. Her mind replied, having newer life. "I have a name, damn it! Cheeky bastard!"
The powerful vampire was greatly pleased how she was able to pull her self back. He body jolted as a fresh wave of heat and pain came along. He stretched his mind to her own, and began to diminish the pain as much as he could, taking it upon him self.
Integra sat at her large oak desk with Walter by her side, going over a new mission. "Walter…" She spoke, ignoring the mission now and staring out at the night sky's moon. "Do you think there is something Alucard is not telling us?"
Walter looked up from organizing the men for the mission to Sir Integra. He smiled that infamous calm smile of his. "It seems you forget who he is."
The Hellsing stood there staring out at the moon. "Something about this…" She turned back to her desk. "Walter, once Allen awakens, send her on this mission as well. I want her ability's tested as soon as possible."
He smiled again, and bowed. "As you wish, Sir Integra. Now, how about some tea? We just got a shipment of Earl Grey." The retainer turned and left, leaving the Hellsing heir behind to calm her nerves, which were always straining beyond their limits.
The new Halfling lay in her new master's lap. He looked down at her grinning to him self. The transfer had gone well, and Allen was moments from waking up as her new life form. He called the third blood pack to him self, and ripped the top off, turning it in to a macabre juice box.
As he began too drink, she began to stir. Her eyes reopened for the first time in hours, open they were still in a daze. She was running on tired instincts for the moment being. She laid there, eyeing the blood he was slowly drinking.
He soon noticed how she was half conscious, and found the way she looked right now sort of soft and weak. He waved the packet back and forth, her eyes followed it. She soon tried to reach for it, but her pulled it out of her reach. She grumbled, and elbowed him in the stomach. He grinned and brought the packet back down, holding it for her. He knew she would refuse to be fed, and like her thought, she indeed did. She glared at him, he grinned wider. They sat there for a few minutes, until she finally gave up, and locked her jaws on to the end of the blood pack.
As the blood became drained, she seemed to wake up more and more. Once the plastic was emptied, he tossed it to the floor through the drapery of the bed. She slowly came around completely, and noticed where she was and who she was with. She stared at him, frozen, he stared back.
"Have a nice rest?" Alucard asked in a mocking tone. That's when she jumped right out and out of the bed, the curtains opening all at once. "Wholy shi-!". She hit the floor with a lumpy thud, enough to echo to the next room.
At hearing the sound of something falling, Seras ran from her room and in too Allen's. The scene she saw was like this: Alucard laughing hard on the bed, a wide eyed shocked and nearly heart attack given Allen on the floor. Seras couldn't help but giggle.
Allen shot her a glare. "Don't rub it in!" She said in a grumbled tone, and got up. "Oy-veh…"
Alucard smoothly got up from his seat on the bed and too his feet. "Child, in the future, catch your self before you hit the ground." She glared at him and was about to yell back at him, when Walter walked in.
"Very good. You have awakened." He stepped forward, and handed Allen a hand full of folded leather garments. "Your uniform miss Rave." She took the clothes blinking a few times, as he led both Alucard and Seras out of the room.
Allen was left alone in her room, holding the clothes. She shrugged, and got out of the blasted colored pajama's, throwing them aside carelessly. She got in to the new set of garments quickly, and looking at her self in the mirror. She was thankful she could still se her reflection. Being a Halfling wasn't going to be bad at all.
Her new clothes were thick, almost like bullet proof armor of some kind, but were smooth and easy to move in. They had many pockets on them, and a special holster on her waist for her dagger. The Hellsing coat of arms was tightly woven in to the upper bicep of the arm.
Allen looked to the dresser, and found many different assortment's of weapons. Exploding silver throwing stars, melting silver needles, and a large pistol gun.
She was glad to have gotten this job. She knew now she was going to love it if it had weapons like this. She shoved the needles in to her side pant leg pockets on her thighs, the gun in to her left pocket holster, and the dagger in to the specially made right one. The ninjas stars were placed in to her shirt pockets, those were on her sides.
Allen exited the door, only to meet an awaiting Seras and Walter.
They both sized her up, and gave they're own marks of approval. Walter grinned at his handy work.
"You are about to go on your first mission. Listen to whatever Alucard and Seras tell you. And good luck." Walter took his bow after his little speech, and walked away.
Allen turned her attention to Seras. "Right then." Officer Victoria said, with a smile. "I'll fill you in on the details as we travel there." She grabbed Allen's arm, and dragged her away. The whole time, telling Allen what they were going to be facing as they exited the manor and headed towards the awaiting trucks.
Me: Wow… Complicated chapter. But this was fun.
Seras: I get to take Allen on her first mission!
Alucard: Heheh… And I get to have some fun as well.
Me: Don't give anything away!
Alucard: hahahahaha! (maniacal laughter)
Me: Anyways, RATE, REVIEW, AND ENJOY!!!! 8D BE HONEST PLEASE!!!
