Scarlet Night

Chapter Seven: Secrets Reviled

A/N: Thank you for reviewing!! Here it is the next chappie!

&

Alucard pulled up in Sera's driveway early Sunday morning, he called the night before and said it was the rest of her punishment. Alucard honked the horn once and Sera came running out of the door, only to turn and lock it. Alucard reached over in the driver's seat and opened the door which Seras gratefully took and practically dove inside as her father yelled swears and curses from the opened window upstairs, his cold eyes burning with anger.

"Drive! Professor!" Seras yelled at him as he just stared at her. Shaking his head he floored it down the calm and quiet street. He noticed her shaking terribly, he watched her pull her legs up against her chest and bury her heads in her knees, her arms wrapped around her legs as she clutched a platinum chain in her hand.

"Police-girl?" he began cautiously god only knows what mental state she was in.

She didn't answer apparently she just completely shut down. Though yes they had had there fair share of "playful banter" he was seriously worried about her now and pulled into the local diner and stopped the car.

"Police-girl" he said in a more commanding tone.

No answer. She was shaking worse off than before.

"Seras…" he said as he moved closer to her rubbing her back soothingly "Seras you need to tell me what's wrong or I cannot help you" he said gently, as if talking to a wounded animal. Seras looked up from her knees and glanced at him to see him giving her an encouraging smile.

"I-I-I…" she took a deep shaky breath "I'm sorry for worrying you…" she said lowly.

"That wasn't the question was it?"

"N-No I guess it was-wasn't" she said in the monotone voice her voice thick from crying.

Alucard looked up to notice the diner was pretty empty they could talk here.

"Hungry?" He asked as he opened the driver's side and gone to let Seras out, since she was coming back he didn't want her to run off so he installed the child proof doors last night.

Seras nodded and got out, as they walked he put his arm over her shoulder and they walked to the diner as if they were a happy couple.

Seras stirred her coffee lazily as she watched the rain pour down. Adrian, (aka Alucard wait she doesn't know that part, shhhhh!)Aka the Professor aka Professor Kitty kins, was being so thoughtful and gentle with her she was shocked that there was a gentle cell in his whole body.

Alucard watched her as she stared out the window her thoughts spinning around in his head. He finally broke the silence.

"Are you going to talk about what happened?"

Seras winced slightly and turned to look at him, his stare was very strong it was as though they could pierce your soul.

"………."

"Seras answer the question, I'm tired of this game" He commanded, he watched as she nervously brushed her strawberry blond hair away from her eyes. He reached over the grabbed her wrist stopping the motion at all. There! On her forehead was a cut, bandaged and badly bruised. His eyes narrowed in anger; who would do this to a girl like her! To an innocent!

"Where did you get this bruise Seras Victoria" he growled out between grit teeth.

"P-Professor you're hurting me" he dropped her wrist immediately. "Who did this do you girl, answer me know!"

Silence.

"…………"

"Did a sibling do this to you?"

"I have none, sir"

"Your mother?"

"She's died sir…" she in a mere whisper.

"You father perhaps…?"

"I fell, Sir! That's all!" she answered quickly, too quickly.

"Hmm…maybe I should talk to your father of how you fell I never knew a runner like your self was so clumsy" He stood up and brushed himself off.

"Where are you going?" she asked in a near panic.

"To go and talk to your father" he said in a matter of fact voice "I need to speak to him privately"

"NO!!" Seras stood up lighting fast "Please, please. Please don't talk to him! Please I fell that's all!!" Seras pleaded with him. "He mustn't know! No one has to now! It's my sin to bear!" her thought were now screaming like a siren in his head.

"Her sin…?" he questioned. "So, it's your father that did this" he accused with disgust dripping off each word.

"……….."

"It's true isn't it" his tone as if talking to bad child who just broke the very expensive vase.

"………yes…it…is….." she said lowly, eyes down cast. Alucard stared at her as her form racked with small sobs. "please don't go…please….please" she begged him over and over.

"Seras sit down" he commanded. She sat, head held in her head, elbows on the table.
He sat next to her and put his arms on the table and looked off into space.

Silence.

He waited until her sobs were controlled before he broke the odd silence.

"Seras your father is a police officer…?" he asked calmly, lowly.

"Yes-Yes…he is" she said as she wiped her eyes of her tears and sniffed lightly.

"Why didn't you tell anyone…?" He kept his eyes straight at the wall; he couldn't look at the broken Seras next to him.

"I tried…no one believe me…" she whispered. "So, I gave up and took it as quietly as possible…"

Silence again.

"How long has this been going on…?"

"Since my mother died…"

"How long?" he said impatiently.

"Sinc-Since I was four…sir" she said as she looked at him. She watched as his fist shook with anger, his eyes burning with rage.

Alucard stood up fast, he form shook with rage. "No one…!" his voice uneven with rage and being calm. He sucked on his breath "Should ever, ever have to go through that! EVER!" he yelled as he strode out the door Seras ran after his angry stride.

"Professor, NO!" she yelled as she slides right up in front of him stopping his movements "DON'T PROFESSOR HE'S THE ONLY ONE I HAVE LEFT IN THE WORLD! HE LOVES ME I KNOW IT! I CAN'T LEAVE HIM ALONE!" she screamed at him through the pouring rain her form shaking from the cold and anger.

Alucard stared at her anger burning in his eyes, he placed his hands oh her arms, a movement as if her was going to push her to the ground. They stared at each other in the pouring rain completely oblivious to the world around them.

"Why shouldn't I!" he yelled at her, hands tightening around her arms, she winced. "He hurt! He hurt you and you gave up and took it! Seras! This is wrong what's he's doing to you! Are you even okay of how he treats you! Can you live with this?"

"I KNOW! AND YES I'M OKAY WITH HIM TREATING ME LIKE THIS AND I BEEN LIVNING LIKE THIS FOR A WHILE" she yelled over him, head bowed as she wept. "Professor I need-need you to promise me…th-that you won't tell a soul, not one single soul!" she said quietly.

"……….."

"Professor, promise me!"

"……….."

"PROMISE ME!!"

Alucard sighed with defeat as he ran a gloved hand through his hair "Alright, alright I promise I won't tell a soul…just please calm down" he cooed softly to her.

"Thank you, thank you much, professor" she moved forward and rested her head up against his chest.

Alucard looked down at the broken Seras.

"Who knew…" he thought as he helped Seras inside the car after going into the diner and get her changed out of her wet cloths and paid for the food. "Who knew someone so strong and brave be so broken and hurt…?"

He started the car and began to drive slowly as Seras fell into a deep sleep, using his shoulder as a pillow. He smiled a true, very small, smile. She was something else…

::::: HE'S THE ONLY ONE I HAVE LEFT IN THE WORLD! HE LOVES ME I KNOW IT!":::::::::::

Those words rang in his head (1)" Seras is looking for something to love, and when she think she finds it she puts everything she has into the being, so that it will love her back…"

He looked as Seras sleeping form, when she cries she looks so child-like that it breaks your heart.

::::: Are you okay with how he treats you! Can you live with this?::::::

:::::: YES I'M OKAY WITH HIM TREATING ME LIKE THIS AND I BEEN LIVING LIKE THIS FOR A WHILE::::::::

:::: I CAN'T LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!::::::::;

"Is Seras an masochist? Or something much greater…"(1)

( I could end it here… but I'm not…XP)

Tonight he was going to do it, he had ever opportunity to do it but he stopped himself, not anymore he needs this! She needs this! Alucard floored the gas and they zoomed off back to Hellsing Academy.

Alucard made it back to Hellsing in record time. He parked the car sharply, which made Seras jerk awake.

"Huh?" She looked at the Professor he was gripping the steering wheel tightly. "Professor Adrian…is everything alright…?"

He didn't answer but exited the car and opened Seras door "Come…" he said quickly. She got out slowly and he held his arm out and she took it as an escort.

They walked through the courtyard the hazy, cold rain coming down harder and harder each minute..

"Seras Victoria what if I have a proposal for you…would you take it?" he said quietly.

"Depends on what it is…why?" she retorted back. He stopped in the stone archway, he turned quickly to her, her back was hitting the stone wall, he pinned her down with his arms at each side of her head, and his head is bowed.

"What if…" he began "What if I told you that I was not human…something stronger more powerful"

"I would say it explains a lot…"

"What if I can grant you eternal life…would you take it…?"

"Eternal life….!" She declared shocked "Isn't one life enough…? For anybody..?"

"Answer the question! Would you!" he demanded his curling in anger.

"I-I-I…No! I wouldn't!!" she cried he was scaring her now.

He looked up slowly, "Then I'm sorry about this…police-girl..." he said regret deep in his voice. Seras gasped with fear. His eyes! They were….red an unholy red!

"Wh-What are you….?!??" Seras demanded at the red-eyed creature.

"I'm a vampire…Seras Victoria… but you can call me Master for now on…"

He forced his body onto hers. He looked into her eyes, she was trying to hold her fear back and act bravely. "Around me girl…you needn't hide your emotions from me.. "

Seras felt her mind go hazy and foggy.

"Yes…"

He went closer to her neck, fangs lengthening due to her sweet, virgin blood.

"My master…"

He bit down and moaned into her neck. So sweet! He drank and drank until he felt her heartbeat was very faint. Using his fangs, he bit down into her wrist.

"Drink my blood and live...for me…for you…" he smiled as she drank greedily. He watched his new child fall into a deep sleep.

"Welcome to vampire-hood Seras Victoria…my child, my bride…" he whispered as he watched the rain cloud clear and the full moon shine though.
