Chapter 18
Alucard looked at her, stunned, amazed that Integral still used that...after a few seconds, coming to his senses. Seras listened quietly, tapping her fingers lightly against the cool steel of the halconnen to amuse herself.
"Hmmm...We will train first, Seras needs to learn..." He looked at Integra once more before he turned. "Good evening, Miss Hellsing," He looked back, in Seras' direction, and swiftly exited. As Seras noticed they were just about finished up, she nodded at her master's last statement and smiled, a fang poking out, and she bowed the best she could (having a halconnen on her shoulder and a heavy incendiary rounds kit box) and stood upright again.
"Miss Hellsing...I'll do the best I can...I can promise that much, at least..." She sweatdropped, grinning at the same time, as she resituated the halconnen on her shoulder. Afterwards she turned heel and left, just in time to see Alucard go through the closed door. She jogged up, the box flopping awkwardly around at her side as she opened the door with some effort and exited with him.
Alucard kept his pace, as he noticed Seras catching up to him. His coat swayed behind him with every step he took.
"Hmmm...We are going to have an interesting training session tonight..." With laughter in his throat, he didn't look back, already sensing Seras moving in next to him. Seras made sure the shoulder strap attached to the halconnen was secure on her shoulder, and she shifted it again to make it more comfortable for her.
"Hm..." She just looked ahead, watching where she was going. Alucard turned his head, contracting his eyes as he looked at her for the first time since the meeting.
"I think we shall start with something fun...mwahahaha..." His eyes reddened again.
She looked just a little confused as she looked at him, peering over her large halconnen with effort. "What would that be?" She stepped outside of the building after he did, walking out and stepping onto the grass of the dark courtyard.
He grinned, amusement written all over his face.
"FLIGHT!" He kept the grin plastered on his face as his arms swooped down, scooping up Seras and tossing her over his head. She went soaring up, seemingly meeting the yellow moon in the distance.
However, her eyes bugged out from the moment she was thrown, inwardly thanking Walter for putting a shoulder strap on her halconnen, or else it would have gone flying in it's own direction.
She gripped her rounds box tightly in her fist and close to her body, but she just flew upward and upward...then started coming back down again, just as fast, and picking up speed.
"Ohhhh...shit.……"
Alucard stood watching from his spot on the ground, looking up and laughing. He studied her more, noticing that she wasn't even trying to fly, and jumped off the ground, hovering where she was falling, grinning up at her descending, frantic body.
"Hmmmmm...if you will not try, I will not catch you..." He grinned evilly.
She turned her head and yelled at him, squeezing her eyes shut and wrinkling her eyebrows together. "HOW THE HELL DO I TRY?!?!" As such, she really had no idea.
Alucard kept floating in place, talking to her using telepathy as he did before.
"Mwahahaha...Seras, you are a vampire...leave the earth bound ways...and think of your weightlessness...just think and be."
Seras concentrated on this one thought, trying to will herself to have absolutely no gravity and let herself hover, as did her master.
".…." She growled as her eyebrow twitched, and she squeezed her eyes shut, feeling herself unmoving. The wind that used to rush around her as she fell faster and faster, suddenly stopped altogether, and she felt calm again.
Opening her eyes, she saw that she was doing something she thought she'd never do. Slowly moving her arms around, even though one held the box and the other held the cannon, she tested out this new technique.
"Well...this is new..."
