Chapter 11: Strange Occurences & First Mission

After returning home from the long night of performing, I went to my room and showered. After dressing it wasn't long before I heard a low, deep voice that came from somewhere not in my room. The voice had belonged to Alucard, he appeared behind me lounging on my desk chair, his black booted feet propped up on the desk.

"Good evening Blade girl," his voice was as smooth as silk yet held a certain coldness to it.

"What are you doing here Alucard, haven't you ever heard of knocking," I scoffed throwing myself on my bed and stretching. I looked over at him but he was no longer sitting on my desk chair, he was now at the foot of my bed looking down at me. "I mean honestly I could have been naked for all you know," I commented before he had a chance to answer me; then I closed my eyes and sighed. I heard him chuckle, I could picture it perfectly without even looking at him. Him chuckling his usual way with his usual creeper grin.

"How was your performance?" he asked avoiding my comments. And like he didn't already know he was there, he knew I saw him, and I just know that those weird feelings I had were some how connected to him. I sat up and stared at him.

"You know very well how it went Alucard, don't play games with me. I'm not in the mood for your mind games today," I spoke hoping he would leave me alone and not bother me the rest of the night, I felt so completely drained of energy.

"Yes, indeed I do know how you did, quite frankly the whole thing was horrendous. You have a lovely voice, yet you ruin it by singing such awful music choices. And pertaining to my "mind games" if not now then when would you be in the mood," he smiled as if doing an impersonation of a Cheshire cat. If I didn't hate him before, I definitely hated him now.

"Oh My God, how dare you Alucard? I love singing, and that type of music in particular. You have no taste and that's why you feel the need to judge me on my style. Why the fuck were you even there, I didn't ask you to come. And as I recall you weren't in the room when I told Sir Integra. I guess you couldn't mind your own damn business for a few moments, so you had to use your freak abilities and ease drop on my conversation with her, its none of your damn business what I like to sing. And its certainly none of your business what I talk to Integra about. Damn you, you rude, egotistic, psycho bastard," I flipped out partly meaning to do it and yet somehow I went a bit over board with it.

I obviously get defensive over the things I love and my music and band are high on my list of things to be protective about. I could feel my face burning with anger. My blood was boiling and all I wanted to do was blow his head off. Then in the distance something exploded with a loud boom. My head whipped to the window. "What the hell was that?" I thought to my self. Then my attention was quickly on Alucard again. He looked amused by my anger what else is new. He pushed a button and I exploded, his game was complete.

"Mind your words Blade girl, I wouldn't want to have to rip your pretty little tongue out simply because you had made me angry," was he threatening me or warning me? Either way I didn't like it, he could go to hell for all I cared.

"I am merely telling you what might happen if you say the wrong thing, and I have been to hell before quite nice actually," his laughter boomed throughout my room. What the hell? This mother fucker is reading my mind. How dare he?

"Get the hell out of my room you ass wipe!" I yelled and pointed to the door. Didn't actually expect him to leave through the door. He didn't.

"Very well Blade girl, good evening and try not to scrunch your face up to much. You might get wrinkles on that frail little face of yours," he laughed then made a grand exit through my floor. Damn him I hate him so much, if only he wasn't king of the vampires and had that whole cant die thing on his side, I'd chop off his menacing pale head and watch it turn to dust. With that I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

-The next day when I woke up and went to the kitchen, still dressed in my pajamas; I was greeted by Integra herself. Who was sitting at the counter drinking tea and reading the newspaper. We talked and she had informed me that I was to go on my first mission that night. I had to admit it was so exciting that I was going on my first mission. I was to go with Alucard and Seras. The day I had moved in Seras was out on a mission in a small city in Dominican Republic. Along with her was the leader of the dumb ass Geese squad, Pip Bernadotte.

Since she has returned we have gotten to known each other a lot better and for a vampire she is so much like a human. Vampires are usually cold hearted and cruel and yet she has such a warm glow radiating off of her, its both comforting and strange at the same time.

"Hey Bree," she said in her bubbly usual voice. When I had opened the door to her she was dressed in her uniform and ready to go. I on the other hand didn't have my uniform yet because it hadn't come in from the tailors. So instead I wore my usual clothes, which consisted of my double button tab knit jeans, burnout spiritual graphic shirt, my leather trench coat and combat boots. "You ready?" she asked plopping down on my bed.

"Yeah one sec," I said securing my Sais and scabbards to their holsters and throwing my jacket over me. "Ok now I'm good," I laughed as walked towards the door. She followed and I allowed her to walk out first, then I closed the door behind me.

Seras and I walked out of the mansion, and Alucard was waiting for us in the front yard. "Oh, Hello master," Seras says smiling. She always greets him so cheerfully, how she does I have no idea; it must be that weird vampire bond they have. We approach him and he greets us both.

"Good evening children," he smirks and the light from the crescent moon shines down on his glasses making them glint. What the hell? I'm not a child, but I guess compared to him I am. I mean damn he must be like five or six hundred years old maybe even older.

"Yo," I said trying to avoid eye contact. I was still upset at him from last night.

"So Sir said that the mission was fairly close by so we can travel on foot. Bree, since you can't run as fast as me or master you can hop on my back if you want," she goes over what will be going on, and I'm touched by her offer to carry my fat ass. She really is a very sweet girl, or I mean vampire.

"No, I will carry the Blade girl, Police girl. Worry about your self, you can hardly manage to keep up with me now. How do you plan to carry her and still get there the same time I do," Alucard's voice came out as a growl.

"Wow, that was harsh," I thought to myself. What the hell? She was just trying to be nice. And what's up with him always calling me Blade girl and her Police girl, we do have names.

"Hey Alucard, Chill. She was just offered and another thing, Stop calling us those annoying nicknames. My name isn't Blade girl and I know that hers isn't fucking Police girl. We have names you know, and it is usually polite to call people by their names when addressing them," I stood now in front of Seras and in Alucard's face. He towered over me but I did not fear him. I knew he could tear my limbs off with a single flick of his finger and yet I did not fear him the slightest bit.

"I will address my fledgling in anyway I desire, and I will speak to you and all other lowly humans I see fit. I would recommend that you speak when it is appropriate for you to do so. Humans like yourself excluding my master are meant to be fed off of or used for other means, and not heard from," he growled. His face was tense and full of anger. But he had gone to far, that had made my blood boil, I could feel my face grow hot with anger and I grinded my teeth. My mind was pounding, I closed my eyes and tried counting to ten. Sometimes it works and I feel a little calmer. When I got to seven though, a tree had exploded behind us.

"What the hell was that?" Seras asked watching as the chunks and splinters of the tree fell from the sky as it were raining wood chips.

"I don't know," I turned to face Seras. "Are you sure you don't mind carrying me Seras?" I asked her ignoring Alucard's presence.

"Yes… umm its no problem at all…but," she said "what about master," she now spoke her voice low.

"I will carry you to the destination, the Police girl is…" before he could finish his sentence I snapped. I couldn't help it. His voice was normal now as if all that stuff he just said didn't happen. How dare he?

"Fuck off," I yelled and twisted around to face him again. "I have no fricken clue what the hell that was about a few seconds ago but don't fucking say shit to me. Don't talk to me, you fucking disgustful blood sucking parasite," and with that I hopped on Sears's back, her face was frozen with shock.

"Come on Seras," I said and she glanced at Alucard for a sign of what to do. He calmly nodded slipping his round orange glasses over his eyes and taking off in front of us.

"Hold on tight Bree," Seras warned and I gripped her shoulders for support so I would not fall off. She sped off and the speed she was going at made me both queasy and full of adrenaline at the same time. I closed my eyes and breathed, trying to prevent myself from puking on her back. When we came to a sudden halt and Seras let me down I wobbled a bit, still dizzy from the piggy back ride from hell. Alucard wasn't anywhere in sight, Seras nodded to herself as if some one had told her to do something.

"Master is handling the vampire, he told me we should handle the ghouls," just as she said that a few ghouls emerged from deeper with in the forest. Coming towards us, their mouths open hungry for blood and flesh. Saliva dripping from their gaping mouths, dripping done their chins. We were back to back and I turned my head to the side.

"Lets kick some undead ass," I said to her, as a smile smoothed across my face. I was actually excited, and I should have been it was my first mission after all. I get to rid the earth of scum such as the ones that were moving in on us. She turned her head towards me and smiled, she looked different in a way; her eyes that were blue a second ago are glowing red like Alucards.

"Yes, lets," she said nodding. We run in different directions, this way we could cover more ground at once.

I heard her Anti-Midian cannon "the harkonnen" go off a few times, two ghouls reached out with dirty decomposing hands and tried grabbing at me. But they were slow and I grabbed one by the neck and snapped it with ease. Another one growled at me and tried jumping on me from behind but I threw it off and crushed its skill with my heavy boot. I fought through all the ghouls that came towards me. I removed my Sais from their containment and got to work with making them useful. A large buff ghoul who seemed to be a cop before becoming one of the damned, had come running towards me he was different form the others but still not as observant.

With one quick motion I dodge his attack, before he turned around and had any clue what happened I jumped up in the air and landed in a back hand spring. I faced the muscle head ghoul and rammed my Sai up his jaw. Feeling the bone break beneath the metal of the Sai I ripped it out and tossed it at another ghoul that was behind me. It pierced the ghoul in the heart, both the police ghoul and the one behind me turned to dust. Quickly I reclaimed my Sais and sensed something rushing in behind on me and I pushed off the ground, back flipped in the air and twisted my body to land on the ghoul that was sneaking up behind me. Pinning it to the ash covered floor I impaled its chest with both Sais.

A few minutes and ghoul claw scratches later I met up with Seras who was disposing of her last ghoul with her bare hands. She took the ghouls head in between her two palms and applied so much pressure that his head exploded in her hands. I could tell she was acting a little different when she didn't notice me behind her. All she did was stare at the blood on her hands with those crimson glowing eyes. Seras was panting but not from killing ghouls.

"Hey Seras, you ok girl?" I asked coming up behind her and placing a hand on her shoulder. She shook her head as if being pulled away from a stray thought.

"Um… yes I'm ok," she replied yet she didn't seem so sure about it. Just as I thought we were done six more ghouls emerged from a darker part of the woods. These ghouls had guns, they shot at us all at once. Seras dodged the bullets with ease I on the other hand had trouble avoiding them. Bullets flew by and skimmed my legs and arms, ripping my coat. A bullet came flying out of no where towards my head and I shimmied my weight to dodge it but it got my temple.

Luckily I moved just the right moment or it would have gone through my head. I groaned in pain but kept moving. Another bullet came at me and ripped through my flesh and jammed its self in the center of the muscle, I screamed and fell to the ground. "No I cant stop moving I have to keep going I have to get to them, I have to survive," I thought to myself. At that moment Seras had found the source of the out of no where bullet that had skimmed my temple. It was a ghoul who had managed to get up in a tree.

My heart began to thump hard and my chest began to burn, I felt strong and felt I could go on even if I might die, I felt I could win. I pushed my self off the ground and ran as fast as I could at one ghoul and kicked the gun from its hands. It punched me and grabbed my throat. I choked for a second, then slowly brought my elbow up then down on its arm. Now free I grabbed its arm and snapped it in half, it howled and I broke its neck. Then grabbed its gun and took out the other two who had been trying to shoot Seras.

I dropped the gun and fell to my knees trembling I guess from loss of blood. Seras ran over to me and held my shoulders so I could look at her. She didn't realize she had been touching the wounded areas and I winced in pain. She immediately let go when she saw this.

"Oh my god, Bree are you ok? I'm sorry," she panicked and I laughed. Even though she was a vampire she had normal human reactions. "Bree your losing a lot of blood," she said covering her nose and mouth I guess the smell of blood was a little hard for her to bare.

"I'm fine," I said trying to stand but failed. "Its just a few flesh wounds," I lied the one in my calf was kind of serious, it was bleeding profusely. I smiled and I tasted my own blood that was running from my temple, down my cheek and across my lips.

"Master said we can go home now, that he has the vampire under control," I didn't see him let alone hear him. I didn't understand how he told her when he wasn't anywhere in sight. But I didn't linger on the subject because I needed to get home. I just figured it to be one of those vampire connection things. Seeing how weak I was she picked me up with ease and slung me over her shoulder like a backpack.

"Don't worry Bree we'll be home in a flash," and we were. When we arrived in the foyer of the mansion she tried to convince me to go to the infirmary but I didn't want to.

"No its ok, really I'll be fine," I lied again. It was serious and if I didn't go up stairs soon and treat myself I would pass out from loss of blood.

In my room I grabbed my emergency kit that was under my bed. Walking into the bathroom I began to strip myself of my Sai holsters, shirt and pants. From the bathroom draw I pulled out a needle and some stitch string. "This is going to hurt like hell," I thought to myself tending to the small cuts on my face and the rest of my body. The Cut on my forehead wasn't so deep but it still stung like a bitch when I dabbed at it with a clothe covered in rubbing alcohol. Now that the small wounds were over and done with, I grabbed the tweezers, and sterilized them. Groaning from the pain, I lifted my leg up so I could work on my calf.

Pouring the alcohol on the wound I had to grit my teeth at how badly it was burning. "I have to do this quickly, I'm losing to much blood," I thought as I twisted up a hand towel and put it in my mouth to bite down on. I braced myself, then stuck the tweezers into the open wound on my calf. I screamed but the hand towel smothered it. If it weren't for the towel between my teeth I would have bit down on my tongue and that would not have been good. Feeling the bullet under the tweezers, I gripped it and ripped the metal chunk from my flesh.

As soon as the bullet came out, a heavy blood flow came behind it. I tried clotting it with a towel but it kept flowing. I began to feel extremely dizzy and my vision began to blur.

"Shit," I said in a weak whisper to myself.

"Do you need some assistants?" Came a voice that I could only recognize as Alucard's. I couldn't see him.

"No," I growled at his question, I did not want him touching me. "I'm fine, go away!" I gritted my teeth. Oh yeah I was Super dizzy. Alucard appeared and kneeled down in front of me. His face was blurry but I could still tell he had a serious look on his face.

"You do need assistance, you have lost quite a dangerous amount of blood. I can tell also because you left puddles of blood all over your room and the foyer," I didn't know how he would provide me with assistance but I know for sure that if I said no he would still do it. Or maybe he would just let me die, he'd probably watch too.

"Fine," I finally said after a long pause. He Smirked then slowly, he lifted my leg onto his bent one. He lowered his mouth to the gaping bullet hole in my calf.

"This will stop the bleeding and partially heal the wound," then before I could protest he began to lap up the blood that was spilling from my calf. His long cold tongue caressed the wound. Oddly enough it felt pretty nice. I sighed.

"If you bite me I'll kill you," He chuckled; my eye lids were growing heavy. With ease he picked me up and carried me to my bed. Laying me down he undid the bandages and began licking at my arm wounds. I was Half asleep when I realized I was only in my underwear and bra. "Fuck…" I said in a drowsily.

"What is the matter?" he said licking his lips and brushing them over my flesh again. Chills ran up my spine.

"I'm…I'm in my underwear," I tried grabbing at the sheets to cover my self. His laughter boomed within my ears. "What is so funny?" I asked now a little more awake. "I'm serious…at least cover me with a sheet or something …please?" I said squirming around.

"You worry about me seeing your undergarments now, ha ha ha. Its not like I have never seen a woman's undergarments before.

"Yeah whatever …just cover me up," I growled in my sleepy state.

"As you wish. I have finished with your wounds any how. By tomorrow they will be but only small scars," he tucked me in and sat back down on the side of the bed.

"Why are you still here just looking at me?"

"I am very curious about you," he whispered. I opened one eye to look at him. He was rubbing two gloved fingers over his pale bottom lip. He stared down at me with his intense glowing red eyes.

"Why is that?" I asked. I closed my eye and I sighed.

"Because my dear your blood is quite peculiar, I have never tasted blood anything like yours in all the years in this world. Your blood is sweeter then any blood I have tasted yet hotter. Like I was drinking a scorching hot cup of sweet tea," I had no clue what he was talking about so I had no idea how to respond to that. He lowered his mouth to my ear and as he spoke his icy breath sent chills up my spine. "What are you my dear Blade girl," he asked.

"Honestly," I sighed. "I don't know," Then I drifted to sleep.
