Chapter 14

Alucard wasted no time, and picked her up again, making sure she wouldn't drop her gun, and he took off. At his great speed, he flies near the moon, dozens of bats flying behind them and alongside them like a shadow.

                "Ah...hmmm...look, Seras, the family of vampires, mwahahaha..." He looked down at Seras, the bats outlining the moon in the back, descending quickly.

                Seras watched the bats with interesting, rubbing the spoiled blood off of her face with the back of her gloved hand like a cat washing it's face, staining her glove more.

                "Damn it..." She growled at her glove, her hair whipping her face from the wind. Alucard noticed the blood and couldn't help himself, and he licked the glove on Seras' hand, afterwards looking at her with some kind of unknown intent...

                "Never waste blood..." He noticed her strange look at him. "The bats are accompanying us tonight...be happy if only for that..." He gazes out at her, his glasses sliding down his nose, revealing his eyes. She blinked at his gesture, looking at her clean glove, but then smiled at the bats moving seemingly as one, more and more of them coming together. Alucard made a small grin, the edges of his mouth perking upwards.

                "You'll be able to do that someday, Seras..." It was rather odd sounding, but he kept on flying at a faster speed, the wind almost knocking off his hat and his coat, which he had gotten back as he regained his human form after the fight.

                She looked at him the best as she could as her bangs whipped her in the eyes. "You mean shape shift into bats, master?"

                He cackled and looks down at her still, as if it were a rather stupid question. "Hmmm...Transform your body, show your true nosferatu..." He started to gin evilly, sarcastically, "Become one with the night, and feel the blood thirst through you..." His eyes focused, turning completely blood red.

                She peered up at him, still feeling quite apart from what she felt like early in the evening. "I think...I might be almost there, master..."

                Alucard met her questioning gaze, beaming and grinning.

                "No, not there yet...you will feel the surge...you felt only half of what it should..." He noticed the ground was far below them, and the light was poking up, almost visible to them. He flew over a nearby cliff, closing in on the Hellsing castle, which was only a five-minute flight away.

                Seras looked somewhat surprised. "That was only half, master?!" She bared her teeth, and to avoid looking at the light, she kept facing him. Alucard kept his gaze on the fading moon, the sun slowly replacing it minute by minute. The light reflected off of the Hellsing castle nicely, and he noticed it right away, seeing it so close at hand. His eyes switched to Seras again, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

                "Hmmm...Maybe half...the real power will consume your body, and when it's there, you can change shape...then you would be your own master..."

                She lost a little bit of her grin there, but a lone fang still poked out of her bottom lip. "Would or would that not mean that we would lose our connection, master?"

                Alucard's face saddened, even in his insane state of mind, and he landed outside the front gates of the castle, Seras still in his arms, and he walked through the gates and in through the front doors, walking down the corridor that lead to his room.

                "Yes...we would lose our connection, but then you can decide...you could still stay with me, if you wanted..." He grinned evilly.

                "I think you already know what my answer would be, master..." She glared at him through her crazy red eyes. He looked back at her, and couldn't help but be amused at the offer. He realized that he was no longer alone in the case of her...rather, becoming...

                He hugged her closer to him. "Seras...you will always be welcome here..." He had an expression of happiness on his face, as he hinted to her, "Nightcap..."

                Being hugged closer to him, she rested her head on his chest, tugging on the bothersome necktie a little bit. "'Nightcap,' master?"

                He looked at her playfully and lovingly at the same time, and walked into his room and stopped when he reached the base of his coffin-shaped bed.

                "Yes...nightcap...mwahahaha..." He tried to sound evil, but it failed horribly as he looked at her, having second thoughts.

                She searched his face, trying to understand what he was getting at. "...Master...?"

                Alucard put her down, her feet touching the floor, and he sat on the edge of the bed, allowing Seras to stand next to him. He seemed to be having some inner struggle, not sure whether or not...

                His eyes met Seras as she stood there, not knowing a flipping thing that was going on.

                "Bedtime, Seras..."
