*Ok.. I'm going to mess with everybody here. This one is from Alucard's
P.O.V. Hope ya like! *
The attack by Anderson the night before had taken a lot out of me, I never had expected it to, but then again I had never done that before. I was in my dungeon, asleep in the chair as I always was at that time of the day when something awoke in my mind, blood. A lot of it was in the house, and it was being lost at an incredible rate. Not knowing, but not really caring either, I rose and investigated, staying away from the setting sun.
Valerie had been terrified last night by my exertion, she had nearly been killed as well. I had carried her to her room and had lain beside her for the first half of the night. Towards dawn I had receded to my dungeon to hide from the sun. Now, as I headed for the source of the smell I wondered if it were her. Had she been hurt?
I found her in the bathroom that is adjoined to the master bedroom; she was on the floor, her one hand bleeding and the other with the razor.
"Damn you."
"Stop there. Don't try to stop it. I'm sick of this life."
I stopped and crouched down in front of her. She had been crying and began anew as I watched. She was determined to die, she had tried once before but had been stopped. I would not let her die, not like this. Without really considering the situation, I grabbed her and pulled her effortlessly into my lap. She didn't fight me, but stared at me, her eyes big and wet.
"You're just like him, you're trying to stop me, please.."
"I've lost one, I won't loose another."
"You don't get it, do you? Too much has happened, I watched a man die, I nearly got killed myself. You aren't human, you don't get the mortality issue!"
"Listen to me. I was human, many hundreds of years ago. I knew the mortality issue and when I was turned I didn't like it. It grows on you, after years of living you get used to it. I understand."
"No! You don't understand. The last time-the last time it was my ex- husband's fault. He locked me away because he was afraid I'd hurt him. He was cheating on me. I attempted suicide and I failed. While I was there I found out about the mansion and you. This was an attempt to get my life back and I lost it. I wish I had never found you!"
There was nothing to say to that, she was right. I knew nothing about her, but I was trying. There was still something about her, something that made me feel that I had to protect her. She relaxed in my arms, her whole body shuddered and she pushed against me. I looked at her then and it hit me as though I had walked into a wall. She had lied to me, she was Hellsing, by blood, only a member of the family could remove the seals placed by the head of the family. She was my master.
"Master.."
"W-why do you call me that? I told you, I'm not your master."
"Oh, but you are. Integra's father was a strong man, and loved his wife, when she got pregnant with twins I was sealed away to protect them. Integra was the only one I saw, I thought the other died. I see now that the other was removed from the family so as not to get involved. You and Integra are alike in more than mind, your features are the same, voice and character. You are her."
"I-I can't. This life is too hard for me, and I cannot deal with all this. Meeting you in the dungeon was one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made. I just wish that.I hadn't come. I never knew.I couldn't be Hellsing. I'm not strong.."
She dropped then, eyes closed and head dropped. I knew she would die, by choice if it were hers. She knew what must be done to survive, her sister had failed to take it, I had offered her many a time, and she had refused right up to her death. It was another chance and another Hellsing. I took the razor and pressed it against my own arm till it bled. She would thank me, or kill me, but as it was, it was my choice and she was my master. The blood ran cold over my arm and into her mouth. Her body jerked slightly and I held her. We both slept, and it was over.
