DEFINETLY do not own! Not mine!
Flora's POV:
I yawned as I awoke, then blinked. I was sitting a bed with silky red sheets and pillows, gauzy curtains gathered at each of the four corners. One of my hands was in my lap and I was leaning my chin on the other, as if I were waiting for someone comfortably. Lamps lit the walls around me, flooding the whole room in a simmering yellow glow. In all, the whole room came across like a fortune teller's tent, dark and mysterious. Well...not quite. Something like that to be sure. I glanced down at myself and blinked. My clothes were all there, but they were red and black, like the furniture and walls. What in the name of all holy is going on?! A click interrupted my thoughts and I glanced up to see someone close the entrance door behind them, and lock it. I swallowed, slightly nervous, but not the full blown panic one might expect from being in a locked bedroom with someone of the different gender. "Lie back. Relax, be at peace." a voice said, and without my consent my muscles weakened, making me slump a little. And now some person whose face I can't see is controlling my muscles' response?! PANICKED NOW!
"I won't hurt you." he cooed softly, one hand stroking my back as he sat beside me. I twitched, but otherwise didn't move. If that's true, why did he lock the door? Without me noticing, he yanked me into his lap and pulled me close. I blinked, finally realizing our position, and flushed, trying to squirm away. Sure, I had kinda been a bit more (a lot more) intimate with Alucard than merely sitting in his lap, but this was a whole world of difference. Our lips were suddenly pressed together, and I jerked back, only to be caught by his hand. "Get off!" I whispered, struggling as a flash of white shone briefly on his face in the lamplight. His finger came toward my face, and I stared, pressing away as much as I could before his fingertip touched my forehead. Scalding, burning pain shot through every inch of my body, and I stiffened all over, unable to scream and flinch away like I wanted to so badly. Suddenly images raced across my closed eyelids, bringing with them scents assaulting my nose as I cried out, body jerking and twitching in his grip.
It stank of blood. Everything stank of blood. Oh god, the sounds, the agonized cries assaulting my ears until I was sure they were bleeding, screams and the heavy thudding of horses, the gruesome crunches and squishes of ruined flesh, the endless drip-drip-drip of a heavy, wet liquid, clanks and crashes of metal that hurt my ears like a band-concert-front-row-seat-with-kettledrums bang. And the images were worst of all. Killing, destroying, attacking, defending, all of it was for some reason but I couldn't see it, all I could see was the blood and the bone and the torn flesh and the rent armor- And just as suddenly as the assault had started, it was over. My ears stopped ringing, the smell of blood faded, and the images stopped. I was left quaking from the aftershock, panting hard as he pulled his finger away. "Who…who are you?" I gasped, and he chuckled. "You know who I am. I am a bringer of death." he crooned. "No…your name..." I panted, head aching and spinning. He pulled back, and somehow I could finally see his face. "Aluca-" I managed to gasp out before darkness slammed down on my vision.
I moaned, blinking my eyes open. I was no longer wrapped in Alucard's huge red jacket, and I shivered, missing its scent and warmth. Immediately a hand rubbed my back and I heard his voice. "My apologies little one. But you showing up in my jacket is too intimate a thing for Integra or Walter to glimpse. Here." I felt myself being pulled up and pressed against his chest. I looked up at him, smiling faintly, before snuggling into him, a sense of peace and protection washing over me. Alucard always made sure I safe, no matter what. He was always there for me, even when Integra told him to stay away. When he held me I always felt warm and safe, even though he was ice cold and could kill me on a whim. He was..."Indescribable. Am I really that important to you?" he asked softly, obviously having been listening to my thoughts. I nuzzled him, thinking. "More. I'd trust you with my life." I whispered, as that was the simplest way to put it. He sighed. "Of course you do. I am bound to protect you with MY life." I shook my head. "No. Even if you were unbound, I'd still trust you." He started. "Always?" I giggled a little, nuzzling him more. "I can't say always. I'll do my best, but always and forever aren't words for humans to use. I will trust you as long as I am physically able." He inhaled deeply and pressed his lips to my hair. "God himself can ask for no more. You are a clever little human, my precious one." he crooned, rocking me. I mewled happily and nuzzled him, drifting off to sleep again.
Integra's POV:
I blinked, seeing Alucard cradling Flora in his lap. She was smiling against him, fingers wrapped in his coat and her head pressed against his chest. That wasn't all TOO surprising, but what got me was the fact he was smiling as well, gently stroking her hair and occasionally nuzzling her. It was like watching a father guard his sleeping child, so much tenderness and affection that floated in the air around them. I gritted my teeth, striding towards the car. Alucard looked up, and then pulled Flora closer to him in an unconscious act of protection and possession. "Master..." he said, in a tone that made me halt for a moment. Pleading, warning, begging, asking, ordering, or maybe a mix of them all. "You have fulfilled your mission. Get out of the car." I said firmly, and his face fell just a little. "Yes, my master." He said dully, pressing Flora closer to him in an act of farewell and kissing her forehead gently. He started to get out, and she whined, fingers clutching at the air where he had been, a lost look on her sleeping face. He stopped, fingers gripping the edge of the car door hard enough to make it creak and bend and looked back down at her. He reached out for her, rubbing her cheek gently with the back of his fingers. Her hand curled around his, and her face lost a little of its forlorn look. I felt a sting somewhere inside my chest, but Flora was in so much more danger whenever Alucard demonstrated his affections for her. The Hellsing line had to come first. But, as I saw the loss deeply etched on both their faces, I wished it didn't.
Alucard's POV:
My beloved little one mewled softly, reaching into the empty space where I had been desperately. I stopped, torn between the intense pain the seals would cause, and Flora's distress. I reached back for her, tenderly stroking her cheek with the back of my fingers. Her warm hand clenched around my own, fingers meshing with mine. Her face brightened a little, and I smiled, holding back a hiss of pain as the seals burned through me, punishing me for disobeying an order. But I didn't care. I squeezed her hand gently, and called to her. 'Little one, we are here. I am saying goodbye. Be careful, my precious little huntress.' Her face fell sharply, and she whimpered. 'N-no!' her beautiful mental voice wailed, making me flinch like a physical attack. 'Hush, hush, shhh my precious little one. Do not cause a scene...' I crooned to her mentally, rocking her gently. Her eyes opened, loss making them huge and bright as I let go and backed away. 'Alucard!' she sobbed, her sweet mellifluous voice echoing in my head as she wailed. I gritted my teeth, backing away slowly. Integra was watching us, and I saw how uncomfortable this was for her. Good. Flora was hurt and distressed, and soon to be all alone again. Flora whimpered, tears cascading over her beautiful stormy blue eyes as she desperately reached out for me, held back by her wounds and the car's closed door. I felt a similar sting in my eyes as well, and quickly absorbed the blood before it could run down my cheeks in tear form. 'Be strong my precious little one. I will come back for you.' I crooned to her, before phasing away.
