Thanks for some of the reviews! Enjoy.
P.s. I'm still going to try to do Pip's accent but please tell me if I'm doing a crap job so if I do I can stop lol.
Seras POV
I woke up the next morning feeling light headed. The light from the sun was making me sweat under the sheets. I wonder how long I have been out for?
Minutes passed as I finally got out of bed and squinted my eyes to look around. Our two weird roommates were still sleeping, so was Danny. Her hair was all over her face and she was mumbling in her sleep that I couldn't make out. My head was beginning to hurt. Something was bothering me, did I forget something on the deck? I checked under my bed for my drawing booklet. It wasn't there.
"Oh my god!" I yelled.
Pip came out of the bathroom in his towel and eye patch still on. "Vhat, vhat's vrong?" Pip slipped on the floor from his wet feet.
"I'M UP-" Danny hit her head on the top bunk hard. "AAAHHH!" The two other guys got out of their beds quickly and rapidly talked in Spanish. The scene in front of me was too priceless that I couldn't help but laugh. They all looked at me then scowled.
"Seras that is not funny! I'm going to have a bump on my head now!" Danny yelled
The other guys yelled something in Spanish too me as well.
"God Seraz, ve didn't azk for a vake up call." Pip slowly got up and his towel fell off his hips. We all stared for a second and then screamed at the slight.
Danny smacked her hands over her eyes. "MY EYES! MY POOR, INOCCENT, CHILDISH EYES!"
I threw my pillow at him, "Ew Pip, cover yourself!"
This lasted for over ten minutes until our Spanish friends couldn't take it anymore. They grabbed there bags and left. I felt pretty bad that we basically made them flee for their lives.
Danny sat next to me, trying not to make eye contact with Pip, "So why the yelling Ser?" I twitched at the nickname, "Well I checked under my bed and my booklet with all my drawings wasn't there. I think I must have left it on the bench." I tried to remember what I did after that but nothing came up.
"Maybe you dropped it when the soldiers took us out of the lobby." She said.
"What soldiers? When were there soldiers? And how did I get to my bed, or rather your bed ?" Danny looked at me with confusion, she studied my expression, trying to figure out if I was joking or not.
"You are telling uz zat you have no clue on how you got here or vhat had happened yesterday?" Pip slowly asked.
I shook my head. I was telling the truth, I didn't remember anything. Wait, I do remember a voice last night and talking to Danny about something but I wasn't too sure what that was. Though the voice, it sounded like a man's voice. The sound of it oozed seduction and heat that made me shiver. Could there have been someone here last night? The thought of a stranger hanging over me while I was unconscious scared the crap out of me. "Guys do you know if….um"
Pip and Danny were arguing when I dozed off into my thoughts. I didn't want to put up with any of that too early in the morning so I went to the small bathroom to take a shower. I'm sure my booklet will come up eventually, I always lost it and it would turn up sooner or later.
The water was warm on my skin and it loosened the knots in my back. I cleared my head of all that happened yesterday. Just the other day Pip and I were sleeping under a bridge in Cheddar. We barely had any money and didn't want to waste it until we really needed it. There was no thought in my mind that I would be on a ship that's on it's way to the new world. I sighed slowly. Cheddar was where I grew up. I doubt I'll see it ever again but it would be nice to see it one day, before I die. It's all for the best. I'm here to start a new life and nothing can stop me. I started getting jittery from the realization of where I was at. Titanic, the ship of dreams, the unsinkable ship.
A joyous laugh filled the bathroom.
Pip yelled from the other side of the door, "Seraz are you alvight?" It took me a few seconds to answer him because my eyes started to water with tears. They were tears of happiness. "Yes." I said out of breath. "I just can't believe where I am at right now. It's just so." I tried to find the word to describe it, "Amazing!"
"Vell I never thought you'd think a dinky and zmall bathroom would give you an enlightened experienze . Maybe I waz uzing it wrong." From the other side I could here Danny asking if she should laugh or be disgusted. At this, I just started laughing more.
When all three of us got ready we went to the bar that was being currently used as a dinning area for the lower classes. At night it became a bar. It wasn't that bad, it had no windows though. There was wooden tables and chairs that was surrounding a stage. Pip told me that at night a Irish music players perform for everyone. He knew this because last night when he couldn't sleep he cam down here to have a drink. It wasn't the best music but it was fun to dance to. Pip never heard that kind of music before so it might grow on him during the voyage.
Once we finished our breakfast, which was only bread, some fruit and water, we made our way back to the deck to walk around. Danny told us that today the ship would be stopping in Ireland . The ship would port for four hours then take off again to Iceland. I told Danny that had to be wrong because we were told we were to stop in Greenland.
"I wasn't told that, maybe you were told false information since they both end with land, " She giggled. I wasn't really disappointed when she told me but I was looking forward in seeing Greenland.
To pass time we played with the people on deck who kicked the ball around. Pip wasn't that coordinated when it game to the ball. He'd occasionally kick the ball to someone's head, which almost the whole time was Danny. She believed she was becoming stupid just by being around him to much let alone getting her brains punched out of her head by the ball. That he was spreading his stupidity around like a virus. Five games later we made port in Ireland. There wasn't a lot of people as there was in England getting on the ship but it was hard to believe the ship can fit all these people.
We planned to go into town to go make a quick shopping trip of our own but we had to bring our tickets to get back on the ship when we were done to prove we are passengers. I thought there wouldn't be anymore people boarding after the last few walked onto the deck from the path way, I dashed off to it to catch up with Danny and Pip. They went one at a time so we wouldn't push anybody, they were waiting on the bottom for me.
I wasn't paying attention while I was running down the path because from my left I saw a few flashes. They were photographers taking some rich peoples picture and then it happened. I bumped right into someone.
I looked up and saw a priest who had blonde hair, glasses and a scar on his left cheek. "Oh, I'm so sorry father." The priest gave a kind smile, "Ah it is fine miss, here let me help ye." The father helped me up on my feet. "What tis ye name, child?" I was nervous at first but said it, " I'm Seras Victoria, father." He held out his hand, "What e beautiful name for a little lass like yourself, I am father Alexander Anderson. Nice to meet ya." I took hand and shacked it.
"I must be off, it was a pleasure meeting you father Anderson." I bowed and walked away. Father Anderson called out, 'May the lord be with ya miss Victoria."
Pip and Danny asked if I was ok and if I apologized to the priest. "Of course, I'm not that rude."
Pip chuckled, "Oh yeah like how you vere nize to ze Count yesterday vhen he helped us out." My face darkened at the name.
"YOU DISRECPECTED COUNT DRACUL! AND LIVED!" Danny shrieked.
"Zhankz for ze deaf ear Danny." Pip put his finger in his ear to block out her voice in case she yelled again.
I rubbed the back of my neck uneasily, "Well I am still here aren't I?"
Danny sighed and made a tsk sound at me, " You are asking for a death wish Ser." We let the conversation drop as we entered the busy town.
Alucard's POV
I was having a dreamless sleep until I felt Walter's presence enter my room. I waited to see if he would knock on my coffin to ask me or needed something. Within a few seconds the knock I was waiting for was heard. I opened my coffin slowly to see Walter setting a suit on the table that was across the room. "Yes Walter?" I sounded irritated.
"I'm sorry Alucard, but I'm just here to remind you that you will be accompanying Sir Integra tonight with her meeting with a certain Iscariot member among with some of the Round Table members of course." He stated. An Iscariot?
"There is a Palestine on the ship, Walter?" I felt a grin appearing on my face.
Walter saw my immediate interest and chuckled, "Yes, there is one that boarded the ship a few minutes ago. His name is Father Alexander Anderson from Section XIII." He got done folding my suit on the table, "But, Sir Integra demanded that you'd behave yourself unless told not too."
I slightly rolled my eyes, "Of course." That ruined my mood. "And here I thought I would have fun tonight."
"You do still have to find the vampire responsible for turning that child into a vampire."
"Yes, but he won't be as much fun." I got up and checked the window and it was still sunny outside.
"Is everything alright, Alucard?" Walter asked.
I turned my head half way to see him sitting with his legs crossed on the chair, "Am I ever 'alright' Walter?" I said mused.
"Here let me rephrase that, Are you alright by your standards." He tried not to smile at his little inside joke.
I stared back out the window for a second then walked to the chair across the table and sat down, "Yes, I am fine." It bothered me at times how Walter knew me pretty well that he could tell when I was lying.
"You are not your normal self, well I wouldn't say that but not how you usually are. Did something happened last night during your mission to erase the woman's minds?"
I raised a brow, "What makes you say that?" I didn't tell them I couldn't find the other girl.
Walter pointed at me, "Your face just now."
"Walter, I believe you're going senile for your age."
All he did was laugh, "I'm not that old, yet."
We sat in silence for a few more minutes. I could here the splashing of the rough waves hitting the non-moving ship. During that time I was really considering telling Walter what was really bothering me. First was Integra, I was growing tired of her mood swings and her attitude towards me. She has changed so much that I couldn't take it anymore, if we stayed like this I would loose what sanity I have left. Sadly, the only one to call off the engagement was her since I agreed to the deal her father, Arthur, made. He knew I cared for her and when he died his last wish, well command, was for me to be with her. He knew I wouldn't let any harm come to her, so I agreed to the marriage. I was married two times in my life time. My first wife committed suicide and the second one was killed.
The second problem, was that woman, Seras Victoria. My interest in her was strictly casual. It's like a child seeing a new toy and wants to play with it to find out more about, that's all. She could keep me from the retched boredom.
"Walter." I finally let out.
He just got done cleaning his monocle, "Yes, Alucard?"
I wanted to tell him at least the first one, it was eating me alive. I didn't want to spend all the years Integra would be alive with her, at least not married. When I didn't say anything he got up slowly and patted my shoulder, " Tell me when your ready, old chap." With that he walked out. I just sat there, not wanting to go back to sleep. America was a good idea before, seeing how the blood would taste there and if humans there at least be more civilized then Europe. No, now I just wanted to go back to my home land. Transylvania.
No matter how much I wished it, it would never be. I am bound by the Hellsing family, was given a new name and a new title. The No Life King. King of all vampires. A title I surly was proud of, it made my enemies fear their very lives by the sound of my name. My presence made them soil themselves and scream for their God. Yet, I can never find a worthy enough opponent to last more than five minutes with me. I looked at the clock hanging on my wall, it was 3:30 in the afternoon. Five more hours till the meeting. After awhile of thinking of useless memories I drifted off to sleep in the chair.
Seras POV
"What do you have to say for yourself, Danny?" I sternly said.
"Do you now vhat you'v done?" Pip was losing to his anger.
Danny looked down in shame, "I'm sorry."
"That'z it! Your zorry! No, I can't believe you zpent all of our money on zat!"
I sighed, "Pip, I don't think yelling at her will help. You can tell she didn't mean too." I tried to calm Pip down.
"Oh yeah and let her off ze hook? No fucking way!" Pip yelled.
"Pip I said im sorry, I didn't mean to it's just, it looked really beautiful!" Danny tried to calm him down as well.
I made Pip sit down on the on the bench. People were staring at us and I mouthed sorry to them.
"That waz all ze money ve had." Pip mumbled.
Danny sat down next to him and continued to apologize. Earlier we told Danny that we were going to pawn some things of ours to get more money. Pip gave her the money we got from the card game to buy some food we could take back to the ship. We would meet back on deck once we were done. Pip and I couldn't get much out of the things we pawned so we walked around for awhile admiring the view of the land. When we got back to the ship Danny was sitting on a bench, she was holding a big bag. At first I thought that she had gotten a lot of food but it turns out that Danny had a little spending problem. If she see's something she likes, like clothes, she'll pay anything to get it. That's how we ended up having this gorgeous, silk blood red dress in our hands.
"I'm sorry Pip, I really am. I swear I'll pay you guys back." Danny was getting to a point where I thought she'd cry.
At last, Pip looked up at Danny and sighed, "It'z ok Danny, ve can probably zell ze drezz on ze ship. Ve might get e good pize on it." Pip looked at the dress. "How much did it cost anyvays?"
Danny gave a small shrug, "I think it was a lot more than what I gave the guy but he was nice enough to give it to me none the less."
I clapped my hands together, "Good, I feel good karma flowing around us."
Danny was going to say something but Pip cut her off, "Don't azk, Seraz haz e tendency to do thingz that envolve good karma. Zhe believez in zat kind of ztuff." I gave him a shut the fuck up look.
She seemed confused a bit, "Um, ok."
"Zo if ve are done here, I like to get ready for ze music playerz tonight." Pip got up and left. He was still bummed about the money but alcohol would help him cool off.
Danny watched Pip go off and cursed in Spanish. "What?" I asked her.
She looked at me, "Nothing, just mad at myself right now."
"Don't beat yourself up, we said it's ok."
"I guess, well I should go sell this in one of those stores in the middle levels in this ship." She was getting up with the dress folded in her arms.
"That wouldn't be a good idea." I stated
Danny looked back at me, "Why not?"
"They will probably think you stole it or something. Imagine a poor girl like you selling them a beautiful expensive dress like that? You'd be arrested on site." I chuckled. "Trust me on that, my father used to be a police officer."
"But Pip said.."
I bit my lip, "He was just saying that. He didn't want you to feel bad."
She looked down again. I got up and gave her a hug, "Don't worry we'll think of something."
I felt her nodding, "Ok, I'm going to go get ready for dinner." I watched as she sulked off to the room.
I knew Danny would be ok, but I still felt bad. It might be a bad dinner. The horn was sounded for dinner. That horn was sounded only for the higher class people. They got the best food this ship can offer. As the sun was setting I began to walk around. Almost everyone was inside as I kept walking, I was close to the back of the ship. I knew that because that's close to where the 'incident' had apparently happened. All I could remember was running exactly right then, poof, echo of someone running was heard behind me. I turned around to see who it was but no one was there. The nearest person to me was the people above me in the balcony's. I continued walking but then I heard a voice, "Seras! Were are you going?" The voice sounded faint and far away. Was that Danny?
Again I turned around but I didn't see Danny. No, I thought I was going crazy with what I saw. It was me. My heart rate was raising and I was struggling to breath. It was me with the clothes I had on yesterday running towards me. The scariest part was…I could see right through her, well me. She was about to run past me when I felt like time slowed down. I saw that it really was me. I'm witnessing myself running towards where the incident had occurred. Right when she passed me and time picked up again.
What…the hell…is happing…
A/N: Mhahaha, what will happen next? Will Seraz find out what the fuck is going on? We'll you'll have to find out next chapter, which im hoping will be tomorrow, to find out. Trust me, next chapter is going to be exciting! And here's a spoiler, if u want it to be a surprise dnt continue reading this lil paragraph, Seras and Alucard finally meet alone!
