As the buttery moon glowed faintly in the jet black sky, Seras sighed. The night continued as any other, a ghoul mission accepted and completed in too short an amount of time. The mission not even being interesting enough to be a thorough distraction from her thoughts. What would happen tonight? Would her Master figure out the truth? Would she want to know what it was if he did?
"Your mind is a storm, Police Girl," came Alucard's deep voice; a silken whisper in her ear and along her neck as he pulled her back against his chest. They were on the roof of Hellsing, and Seras was staring blankly into the night sky. She felt like a child in comparison to his body, but she also felt safe for the first time in weeks. "Hmm…you definitely have the body of a woman, Seras. Not a child."
She blushed and tried to focus on how quiet the night was, how peaceful everything was. Stars scattered across the darkness of the sky, twinkling on occasion, though she knew that was merely a perception. So many questions flowing through her mind; glowing in the dark like stars.
They gave no answers; revealed nothing.
Seras was unsure how much time had passed, her eyes growing heavy as a soft light began to illuminate the horizon. Alucard lifted her effortlessly, and they sank through the roof in a sea of shadow, as if melting into oblivion. When she opened her eyes, feeling solid ground beneath her, she smiled nervously remembering that from now on this would be where she slept…and she would not be alone. Gently he lowered her into his coffin, climbing in next to her and pulling her close. Seras blushed when she realized at some point their clothes had dissipated, and she could feel all of him against her; skin to skin.
"Sleep now, Police Girl," he said. "It will be alright."
"Yes sir, my Master," she said, trying not to be afraid of what was certain to await her.
And yet it was not long before she found herself growing tired…slipping from consciousness in the comfort of her Master's possessive embrace. "I will protect you" is the last thing she heard before opening her eyes to walls of intense, sterile white.
"Master..?" Seras said aloud, wondering if he had noticed her dreaming yet. "Are you there?"
Seras's senses pricked in alarm…faintly, very faintly, she could hear voices mumbling hurriedly. They were human voices; adults. And then he was right in front of her; her Master. "Mast-"
"Shhh…"he said quietly, looking around anxiously, taking note of the bloody heap of bodies on the ceiling above them. "There."
Alucard stepped swiftly toward the wall that was facing her, and she gasped in alarm when he slammed his hand through the wall, the plaster crumbling to the ground from the blow. Through the hole four an entire room of scientists in white lab coats stared in horror as Alucard began to laugh maniacally, ripping more of the wall away. "How dare you hide and cower behind a wall! Lowly human scum!"
Her Master was about to step through the clearing he had created when suddenly her vision began to blur and her head felt like it had a vice grip on it…Then she opened her eyes and realized they had woken up, her Master no longer in the coffin but standing near it, looking down at her angrily. "So close, why did you wake up!"
