Hey, here's the new chapter. Please review. I like comments.
"The Ghost Vampire, huh?" Alucard said to Sakura. "So you're Sergeant Sakura Tsukishiro."
"How do you know my name?" Sakura said, slightly stunned at the information he had.
"Little girl," she scowled as he called her this, "I have drained the blood of countless souls. I find it rather insulting that you think you can hide from me considering the time you've devoted to destroying me." he smirked, "Obviously, somewhere down the line, someone would have heard of you."
"Well," she said, "that doesn't matter now. It's just you and me," she charged at Alucard as he pulled out his two, long-barreled guns. She wisped her hand and stabbed him through his chest as he shot two rounds into her torso. Sakura smiled, "It looks like you missed," she said as her body reformed from wisps of smoke.
"As did you," Alucard said, despite her hand still being imbedded in his heart.
"Did I miss your heart," she said in shock, "I was sure that I was dead on."
"Oh trust me. You hit your mark. Let's just say I'm…complicated." He put his two guns back in the holsters hidden beneath his coat.
She pulled her hand out, "That doesn't matter, I'm still going to rip you to shreds," she turned her body into a wisp of smoke, but Alucard countered by turning his body into shadow matter.
"You think that pathetic trick will work on me? It may have worked on that poor girl back there, but it can't stand up to me."
"Why can't I reform," came her voice from nowhere.
"I've dispersed myself among you." Alucard reformed his body except for his right arm. "As long as you and I occupy the same space you can't change the form of your body. And since you tried to attack me you are stuck between being a gas and a solid. Essentially, you are partially out of existence."
"How did you know to do this?"
"Oh please, a child could have figured this out. What better way to trap air than with a jar? Containing you in one spot was far easier to do than I had expected. Especially from someone as frightening as the Ghost Vampire," he threw in sarcastically.
"You bastard. Don't think this is over. Union is more powerful than you could ever imagine. They will find you, and they will destroy you like that pathetic excuse of a weapon over there."
"That girl," Alucard said with a laugh, "you think that is Creed's secret weapon? My dear girl, that is nothing but a failed replication. If that had been the weapon you thought it was you would already be dead and I would be fighting it instead of talking to you."
"What?"
"Your beloved Union sent you to your death, knowing that I would come here and easily step through that girl."
"No, you're lying." Sakura's voice yelled.
"If that's what you wish to believe before you leave this world, then fine by me." Alucard simultaneously flung his arm as if he were throwing a ball and reformed it back into a normal limb. Sergeant Sakura Tsukishiro—the Ghost Vampire—was dispersed into the air, unable to reform herself, disappearing from existence.
Alucard pulled out a cellphone as dialed a number, "Seras," he said when the woman picked up on the other end of the line, "It is finished. No need to get on the flight." he hung up before the Draculina could ask any questions. Alucard looked at the phone and sighed, "How the times have changed."
"Sir," the man with the Russian accent said, "Sergeant Tsukishiro has failed."
"As expected, Captain Marinov. But, she let us grasp just how powerful Hellsing really is."
"What have you learned, General?"
"That they are not to be taken lightly. In fact, Captain, I think that we should hide in the shadows for a while. Work in only the darkest places of the world for now. Now that they know of our existence it would be best if we disappeared for a short time. Then we'll set the real weapon free."
"General, may I ask a question?"
"Go ahead."
"Why did you send her to her death? She was one of our best fighters."
"Because she was filled with too much violence and hatred. Union wishes to bring all the vampires of the world together so that there can be peace. There is no room for someone like her in this organization. And the same goes for me."
"Sir?"
"I do not wish to be seen as a hypocrite. Which is why, when the time comes, I will be the one to let the creature free. I will not sacrifice one of my vampiric soldiers as if they were nothing but pawns. I, a human…a far too violent human, will be the one to release that horror upon Hellsing. And you, my Captain, will be one of the great leaders that takes down the last great evil of this world."
Jack inspected his canines in the mirror on his closet door, "Hey, Schrodinger."
"Vat iz it?" the cat boy asked.
"Aren't vampires supposed to have large fangs?"
"Vell yeah," he walked up to Jack and smiled, "See?"
"Mine haven't really changed," he fingered one of them, cutting his finger open, "they're definitely sharper, but they don't seem any longer."
"Vell zat iz veird." Schrodinger seemed as he leaned in a little to close for comfort. "Hmm, vhat could it be." he put his head in his hand, and stood deep in thought for a few moments. He snapped his fingers as he came to a realization, "I got it. You see, vhen most vampires drink, zhey drink every last bit of blood in zhe victim. Howevah, you only lost a tiny prick, but still you vher bitten vith zhe fang of unt vampire. I zhink zhat, since you only lost a tiny amount of blood, your transformation iz taking longer zhen expected."
"How do you mean?"
"Vell, you veren't craving blood earlier, but you could not eat human food. You are very sensitive to zhe sun, but not as bad as most fledglings who have yet to drink blood. You seem stronger, but not as strong az you should be. And also your eyes. Vhile zhey are still blue, I notice a little bit of red in zhem."
"What does this all mean?"
"Vell, it's only a theory. But I zhink zhat your transformation is taking longah zhan expected because you did not lose all of your blood. But, tomorrow, ve vill see if zhat is true."
"Actually, Schrodinger, I've been meaning to talk to you about that." he sat down on the bed and looked out the window at the almost full moon. Schrodinger sat next to him.
"About vhat?"
"I think it's time we leave."
"Vhat, but I've only been here for unt day. Can't ve stay for longer?"
"No. I realized that no matter how hard I try I can't go back to being human. And how long will it be before my thirst becomes unbearable? I have to get out of here before I hurt someone I care about."
"Vell zhen, vhere vill ve go?"
"London. You're going to take me to the person who changed me."
"But I thought you said you did not 'ave enough money for zhat?"
"I'll borrow some from my parents. You probably know this already, but I started going to school here because my dad got a job transfer to New York. He and my mom live in an apartment about half an hour west of here. We'll drop in, I'll take some money, and we can be on a flight out of here in no time." He stood up, "how does that sound?"
"Ist perfect," Schrodinger said with glee, "but kind of disappointing as vell."
"Why's that?"
"Vell, I joined a few clubs today."
"You know, Schrodinger. I'm beginning to think that you can be led to believe anything that you are offered to join."
"Hey, you shouldn't be talking. From vat I 'ave seen in your memories you've been zhe least impulsive guy in zhe history of zhe vorld…except for zhat little incident in London," he stared at Jack suggestively for a moment before continuing, "zhis does not seem like you. But, hey, I've only know you for two days. Maybe I'm wrong, no?"
"No, you're right. You're absolutely right. But" Schrodinger looked up expectantly, "that's why I have to do this. Now. If I don't get this done, I'll just keep putting it off and I'll put my friends in danger. The sooner I learn to deal with being a vampire, and the sooner I get to this Hellsing of yours, the sooner I can be sure my friends are safe…at least from me."
"How noble of you," Schrodinger said playfully, "but I zhink you know zhat vonce you leave zhere iz no coming back. You know zhat zhere is nozhing you can do to protect your friends vonce you are gone."
"But I know that they won't be in danger because me."
"I see. But Jack, and zhis is coming from years of experience, it iz zhe best laid out plans and zhe best of intentions zhat lead to zhe vorst of all problems."
Seras walked up to the lady at the desk in the admissions office, "Excuse me," she said, "I am looking for a student that attends this school."
"Name." the lady, a twenty something woman, said in a bored tone as she turned a page in her magazine.
"Umm…Jack Worth," she said.
"What is your relation to him?"
"I am his…" Seras thought for a split second, remembering that he had no siblings, "cousin. My parents and I are visiting from London and I just wanted to drop in and see how he was doing."
"I'm sorry," the woman said without making eye-contact, "but unless you are an immediate family member or have a member of his immediate family with you I can't tell you where his room is."
"But miss," Seras begged—something she had rarely done since becoming a full-fledged vampire, "I came all this way from London. Can you please make an exception?"
"Uhh," the woman groaned, "I'll ask the proctor to tell him you're here. Maybe she'll let you see him." she picked up the phone on her desk and dialed the proctor's number, "Hello, Ms. Stanfield, this is Alicia from the admissions office. I have a young woman here named…" she looked at Seras.
"Seras Victoria," she told Alicia.
"named Seras Victoria who claims that she is a cousin of Jack Worth's. Would you send him down to meet her?" she paused for a minute as Ms. Stanfield went to get Jack, "She says it's okay," she told Seras, "she just has to get him from his….What!?" she screamed into the receiver, "He's gone?" Seras gasped.
'Why would he leave?' Seras thought.
"I'm sorry, miss…" Alicia started, but Seras had already sprinted out of the office.
"Huh?" the first vampire, a man who appeared to be in his twenties, exclaimed as he pulled away from his latest victim, a middle-aged woman.
"What is it, Nick?" the other vampire, of similar age to the man, asked in between gulps of blood from her own victim—the woman's husband, "do you sense something?"
"Two people are in the hallway."
"Are they vampires?" she asked.
"One of them is definitely a vampire. But I'm not sure about the other one."
"Do you think we can take them?" she dropped the body she was drinking from, having drained it of blood.
Nick smiled, "Hannah," he said, "together we can stand up to anyone," he leaned forward, pushed her long red hair from her face, and kissed her blood-stained mouth. He pulled away slowly, "No one will come between us, my love." He reached for the wife's hand and pulled off the diamond ring. He held Hannah's hand gently in his own and put the ring on her fourth finger.
"Of course," she said admiring the ring, which hung a little loose from her finger, "my love." They shared a longer kiss as someone started knocking on the door.
I hope you enjoyed. Please keep reading and please Review.
