Hello!...Hello everyone!
I am becoming even later every day, I'm starting to believe that I will lose, even if I did it still was fun to do this challenge.
30 AU Challenge:
6 - Punishment AU
A few months ago, Alucard was sent on a mission to a village named cheddar, to kill a vampire that has committed a genocide who left a pile of corpses and ghouls on his path, sparing no one. He thought that it would be a simple night like any other, that he will end that insect's miserable existence and return to his room where he would spend the rest of this beautiful night in peace while drinking his wine. However, that night something unexpected happened, something that made his dead heart beat for the first time since his last day as a human. There, in the arms of that filth was his mate. Alucard by now had already given in to the idea that he doesn't and will never have a mate but there she was, trembling in fear, tears were falling from the corner of her sapphire eyes and being touched in such a vulgar way. Alucard wanted nothing more than to just separate his mate from that bastard and sentence upon him the worst kind of death he could think of. But Then, a devilish idea came to mind, making the grin on his face widen.
He used the situation for his advantage. He asked the girl if she was a virgin making her blush in embarrassment. He already knew that she was a virgin. He could smell it in her sweet blood even though he was standing far away. Must have been something related to her being his mate. How adorable she was. However, there was no time, he needed an answer from her and when she finally said 'Yes' he shot his gun, the bullet went through her left lung to that vampire's heart. He felt great guilt to have injured his mate in such way but that feeling disappeared as fast as it came because he knew he would turn her into a vampire and her fatal injury would heal. He could still remember her sweet, warm blood running down his throat like a river of hot crimson fire, such strong and addictive taste it was.
Alucard felt his throat dry at that memory, he was so eager to drink her blood again, after that she became a stronger vampire of course only then he wouldn't have to worry about hurting or weakening her. But it appears that he will have to wait even longer, for his Seras did not ponly prove herself to be a strong women but also very stubborn. On her first night as a vampire, Alucard had explained to her what she was now and who he was to her, keeping the fact about them being fated mates a secret not only from her but from his master too. Who knows what would the Hellsing do if she found out that Seras was his mate, would she kill her? Use her against him? torture her? whatever it was Alucard didn't want to find out. He started to teach seras about the vampire ways and what she was able to do, it was fun for him to see the wonder and excitement in her eyes whenever she discovered more about her vampire abilities.
However, that joy was gone when he told Seras that she should start sleeping in a coffin, she immediately refused even after he explained that it was a way for the vampires to keep up their strength, she still refused. Alucard didn't push the subject more, sometimes he himself prefers to sleep in a big, wide bed over a tight coffin and the idea of having his mate there beside him in the future to warm his bed made him wish for the day that he could hold Seras in his arms to come faster. Then there was the blood issue. Seras refused to drink the blood much to Alucard great displeasure and her only excuse was she was afraid to lose her humanity. If Seras was a simple servant like the once he had in the past he would have disposed of her right then and there. But she wasn't. This was his mate who he has been waiting for, for centuries now and so he decided to be patient with her to give her time to adjust. As time went by Alucard started to regret ever being patient.
With every day that passes, Seras was growing weaker. She is trying to act the way she used to as a human, ignoring the beast that was trying to claw its way out of her, even though she was still stronger than a human she was still the weakest vampire he has ever seen. Alucard still tried to convince her that drinking the blood would change her but that doesn't mean it would to the worst, She still kept refusing. He let her be, still believing that she will see sense and just act what she was. However, witnessing how close Seras was to dying after meeting Anderson, Alucard decided to put his foot down. He explained to his master why do vampires need to sleep in a coffin filled with the soil of their birthplace and how sleeping in a simple bed is only making Seras weaker, to that his master responded by immediately ordering for Seras's bed to be disposed of and be replaced with a coffin. Alucard stopped acting so patient with her and began to push the matter of drinking the blood more to her and if she still acted like a spoiled brat that refused to eat their greens, he would give her the cold shoulder. He started berating her, calling her names and ignoring her. He didn't like it but he believed that with this harsh treatment Seras would realize her mistakes and would start acting like a proper vampire.
But then the valentines brothers attacked the manor and that was the last straw for Alucard. Seras had failed to protect their master forcing her to save herself and then losing control over her demon that tore through the Hellsing soldiers that had turned to ghouls. Losing control is one of the first dangerous signs of a starving vampire and he couldn't wait until it became worst. And here he was now in front of Seras's room ready to have a serious conversation with her and not leaving until she starts acting like a vampire. He phased through the door not bothering to knock.
"M...master!" Seras let out a loud gasp, then showed an embarrassed smile. "You scared me for a second there."
Seras closed a book that she was reading and got up from her seat. Alucard didn't respond to her and looked around the room, he scowled at the sight of her untouched blood bags that sat inside the half melted ice bucket.
"How long are you going to keep acting like this, police girl?" he asked his voice nonchalant. Seras looked at him confused but then followed to where he looked and frowned. She said nothing.
"I'm tired of this rebel act." He raised his voice a bit, then turned his attention to her. "I'm tired of having to follow you around to make sure that you don't get yourself killed, I'm tired of having to wait for you to see how of an idiot you have been, I'm tired of seeing a draculina with such admirable strong-willed who could have reached her potential and more in mere few weeks, only to refuse it and force her body to starve and wither away."
Alucard stopped and looked at seras. She was clenching her fists and bit her lower lip so hard that it bled trying her best not to talk back to her master, she wasn't the only one who was trying to hold back, for Alucard was dying to say more to her.
"I'm tired of having to wait until you are ready for me, I'm tired of having to wait to hold you in my arms and mate with you, I'm tired that you still haven't become the No-life queen that I am waiting for impatiently."
He so badly wanted to say those words to her but he didn't. Even though he didn't want to admit it, Alucard was partly to blame for going so easy on her and not assuring her that she has nothing to fear of being a true vampire, but he didn't. He let his emotions take control and now his mate was a mess because of it. He needed to fix this and now.
"You have been a vampire for months now and you are still only a weak fledgling."
"It's not easy." Seras finally said, glaring at her master. "It's not easy to just let go of everything I have ever known and just embrace this thing I have become."
"Need I remind you, that you have chosen to become 'This thing' that you are now." Alucard shock away of the voice that told him that he was the one who made that choice for her.
"Even so, it's still not easy!" She raises her voice. "I'm afraid master!...I'm afraid to become something so terrifying, that I'll forget everything I have ever learned, everything about myself."
"If you kept that act of yours, you will end up becoming that thing you fear so much!" Alucard lost his patient and began yelling, Seras was taken back by it but she didn't back down.
"Even If I drink the blood or not I will just end up like you!" Seras tensed at that immediately regretting her choice of words. Alucard eyes widened slightly, she didn't say it but he knew what she implied.
"Like what Victoria?" He asked in such a calm way that made her afraid. He then took a few steps towards her and Seras wanted to run. Every inch of her screamed for her to run away from danger, but there was something that forced her to stand her ground. Alucard stopped in front of her.
"I asked you a question." He placed his hand on her shoulder and squeezed hard that it made Seras wince in pain. "And when I ask, you answer!"
Seras tried to pry his hand away but he was too strong, she opened her mouth to defend herself or at least beg for forgiveness but nothing came out. Alucard squeezed his hand tighter and yelled.
"LIKE WHAT?"
"A MONSTER!" Seras finally answered tears gathered in the corner of her eyes. "I'm afraid to be a heartless monster like you!"
Alucard was livid. After everything that he had done for her, she only saw him as a monster? Well, if she says he's a monster then he'll act like a monster.
"ENOUGH!" Alucard yelled so loudly that the room itself shock.
The moment his voice roared towards Seras, she tensed in surprise before she relaxed under his grip not caring for the pain on her shoulder anymore. Her eyes glowed red as she stared up at her master in a daze. Alucard smirked as he lifted his right hand up to cup her cheek and brushed his thumb over it lovingly.
"Now, be a good girl and go drink your blood." He ordered and instead of being rejected like usual, his darling little mate walked to the ice bucket where the two blood bags rested. She took one of the bags and lifted it up a little to her mouth before she sank her fangs into it and drank greedily.
Alucard let out a pleased sound as he walked towards Seras and started petting her head, encouraging her to continue. Seras took the second blood bag and sank her fangs into it, Alucard could already sense her becoming stronger the more she drank. When Seras was done, she just stood there waiting for more orders from her Alpha. Alucard looked down at her lips that were drench with blood making him chuckle, he reached out his hand under her chin and gently turned her head to look up to him.
"You are such a messy eater, my dear." He then licked his lips before leaning down and pressing his lips against hers.
Alucard closed his eyes giving in to the pleasure of finally kissing his mate and it was one of the most amazing feelings like everyone had said. He kissed her more. Alucard put his right hand behind her head while his left arm wrapped around her back doing his best to bring her as close to him as he can. He could feel his lust taking over and his beast purring in pleasure inside of him. He opened his eyes to lock them into his mate's as they lost themselves to pleasure but stopped when he saw that he was still meet with those same blank red colored eyes. Alucard pulled away from her and after looking at Seras over again, he realized that she was still under the control of his "Alpha-voice".
"Seras…" he called her name as he cupped her cheek again. "You can wake up now."
There was no respond making Alucard feel sudden fear for the first time in his undead life. He cupped both of her cheeks going up to her hair to comb his fingers through it in a soothing way.
"Wake up, Seras….please wake up"
There was no reaction. Alucard started to feel guilt build upon his shoulders, this wasn't supposed to happen.
"No…no..no..nonononono!" He wrapped his arms around her. "I'm…I'm so sorry."
He only wanted her to listen to him for once, just this one time to do as he says without yelling back at him. Not to take away her free will.
"Please wake up Seras, I'm sorry. I won't do it again I promise just please wake up, seras. Wake up please."
Alucard stood there to what felts like hours with Seras in his arms still lost in her trance but eventually, Seras blinked her eyes tiredly. The red slowly left her eyes and was back to their original blue. She felt warm which was weird to her since she was always cold down here, Seras looked more to her surroundings seeing that she was still in her room and tensed when she saw that she was being hugged by her master. Before Seras could say or do anything, her memories came back.
Her master coming to her room, her master telling her how incompetent she was, her yelling back at her, her master letting out a loud scream and then suddenly her body was working against her. It was as if she was setting in a room and watched everything play around her through a glass window. Her master ordering her to drink blood and her body complied obediently. She tried to stop but didn't know how. She could only scream for help but who could ever hear her in her own head?. The rush of power that went through her after drinking the blood, it felt so good that she wanted more but also horrible because she had no control over it. And then there was her master again, kissing her so suddenly and in a way that told Seras to where this was leading. She didn't want it, She was afraid, she wanted to get out of here, she wanted to gain control so she can get away from her master as fast as she could and as far. With that, Seras used her new strength and pushed her master away so roughly that he crashed against her wall. Alucard was not hurt nor was in pain, he was just startled by her. When he looked up his eyes widened when he saw something that he thought he'd never see.
His Seras, his mate, the one Alucard was sure that when she came she would never look upon him with fear. But there she was. Hugging her herself to keep her small body from shaking so much, her face held such petrified expression as bloody tears ran down her cheeks. He could feel his heart breaking as that image marked itself in his memory that he was sure that it would hunt him for centuries to come. Standing up straight, he started walking towards Seras wanting nothing more than to comfort her and kiss away her tears.
"Seras-"
"S...STAY AWAY!" Seras screamed, making Alucard freeze in his place. "DON'T YOU FUCKING COME NEAR ME!"
Her voice was filled with pure fear of him. Alucard didn't want to see her fear, he wanted to see her smile again, he wanted to hear her laughter, he wanted her to show any other emotion towards him, anything else but fear. He took a few more steps forward making Seras take a few shaky steps back.
"I…I won't hurt you, I pro- "
He stopped when he saw Seras take her hands from around her and cover her ears as more bloody tears poured down from her eyes.
"SHUT UP!" She screamed at him. "I…don't…I don't want to hear your voice!...Get out!..GET OUT!"
Seras's was so scared that her legs couldn't support her anymore and fell to the floor, still screaming at him to get out of her room and leave her alone. Not wanting to make his mate's mental state grow even worst he disappeared from her room, leaving no trace of himself behind. The moment Alucard was in his room he took the table with the wine bottle and glasses and smashed them across the wall, he then turned to his throne-like chair and started to smash it to pieces. He destroyed everything in his room, did anything to keep himself from letting out a roar like scream and make his mate suffer even further by hearing his voice.
For those who are confused.
Alpha voice: it's a type of commanding tone only alphas can make, which will make the omega biologically predisposed to obey this voice and to basically become docile when they hear it.
