Seras' eyes widened in shock and she froze in place, her finger gripping the bed as she sat half up, half laying down like she was. The completely black Alucard sat on his knees on the bed, staring at Seras with his bottomless eyes.
The color completely drained from her face, making her look paper-white (even more white as she was normally), and her read eyes contracted to small pupils as her mind boggled.
"H-holy fuck..." She swore, it half dribbling out of her mouth unnoticed as she stared, slack-jaw. She had never seen her master like this...and on instinct, she looked frantically, with her eyes darting around, for her halconnen. Her head stayed motionless, however, as her eyes moved...and she remembered she left it on the floor next to the bed.
Her eyes slowly switched back to the monster in front of her; she didn't know whether to trust or to defend herself, and she squeaked a tiny bit, her fang peeking out of a crack of her lips, shining for an instant.
Alucard completely blacked out; the blood on his red coat disappeared into him and became a part of the coat and him. His hair floated weirdly out and upwards, as if it had a life of its own, and his grin widened to a new length...stretching out completely as his black eyes filled with darkness pierced into Seras' soul.
"...MWAHAHAHA...What do you think of the real vampire Alucard, Seras...?!" His voice sounded distant, but all around her as the walls seemed to bounce them off oddly, his teeth bore out even more...
Seras' eyes widened momentarily, then shrunk back, and she choked out a weak squeaking sound as she begun to speak.
"I—interesting..." She moved her arms to help her sit up ever-so-slowly, keeping her eyes on him warily as she slowly moved over. At this, he grinned still evilly, as his black hair surrounded him, and his red coat morphed to a light shade of black, almost the same color of his hair.
The blackness dissolved into his surrounding bed and walls, like a chameleon. "Mwahahaha...time to die...Seras...Victoria..." Still unseen through the background, his presence can be sensed due to the evil intentions of his transformed being.
Hearing this, and seeing his black form melt against the walls was all she needed to spring into action, leaping to the side and rolling off the bed, landing on her knees and swiping up her halconnen to protect herself. She definitely did not think she couldn't trust him now, after his death-threat.
She held the cannon up, making sure it was full and cocked it, not afraid to use it to keep the black Alucard from going AWOL on her...
...Maybe she could somehow snap him out of it...
For several terse minutes, Alucard's form went unseen surrounding her and blocked her senses off completely. His hair covered the ground and sides so nothing could be seen; a strong evil inside. His mere presence of insanity and chaos...he moved in stealth, his hair casting small flickering shadows everywhere.
His hands thrust from nowhere behind Seras, grabbing her by the throat with a clenched hand, and quite forcibly held her to him from behind. Seras' eyes widened at the shock, startling her so much that her weapon clattered to the ground by her feet...which were slowly rising off of the ground as he lifted her up to him by his hold on her neck.
With his teeth bared fully outward, his head suddenly appeared from behind her, seen now protruding from the pool of black hair surrounding her being. He craned his neck to hers from her back, leaning over.
"The game is up...Seras...You shall die by the hands that made you..." He still held her up by the throat tightly, poised in a biting position from the back. Her eyes stared out at the black, her face sweating beads, but otherwise her voice was quiet but heard loud enough.
"...Why...master?" Her voice almost sounded dull, monotonous, as if unaffected by the current situation. His other hand traveled down to her midsection as he turned his head to answer her last request. She shuddered at the touch.
"Hmmm...You are an annoying brat...You must die, your father can never look at you...What difference does it make, all of your family will die, and you will survive...Alone...Is it not better to be dead?!?!"
She turned her head around slowly like a robot, her eyes dark and dull, but with some embedded emotion.
"No."
"...'NO'...Ungrateful," He spat; the fangs that protruded from his mouth so elongated made him not even look like himself. "They are all dead...that is all there is...Even I am dead...Time to die..." He finished with sickening pleasure filling his voice, almost singing.
Seras' eyes, still dull and dark and seemingly dead, held a glimmer of compassion, hope, and most of all... determination.
"Master...What are you doing?' Her voice was firm, unwavering. She was trying incredibly hard. "Why are you doing this? This may be the real you, yes, but...Do you want me to die?...Do you really know what you're doing?!" She narrowed her eyes, her voice rose like a crescendo. "Who are you?"
Alucard glared at her through his black eyes, a slight glinting gaze went through them like a flash, as though something was stirred behind them...what to say is unknown.
He grinned at her evilly, still with a big smile even for...his other self. "Hmmm...yes...This is me, Seras...Who am I, I am Alucard, the Immortal...Trained for centuries in the art of Death...Some say I am an angel, others, a devil...You ask who I am, fool, the Legendary Destructor released once more...Dracula was nothing to me, why should you be anything more...?" He grunted at his explanation, which was even more depicted than he had expected. She had struck a sensitive nerve...he was sure she would pay for that.
Seras growled, not at all realizing who this...thing...was, and she tried ripping away from him, going mad with determination as she clenched her fists, yelling, trying to get him back with the only thing she could use: mind power.
"MASTER!! MY MASTER...ALUCARD...COME BACK!!" She had no other possible ideas what to do, stressing his name to get the point across, and continued to yell. "SNAP OUT OF IT!!!" She glared at him, her red eyes boring into the unfamiliar beady black eyes.
As he grinned even more, his eyes blazed...and a ripple beneath the pitch-black eyes, came for about a second longer than the last one. The arm around her middle tightened as he brought her even closer, and she struggled as best as she could, but he still had some advantages of strength over her.
He eyed her most intently, and as if on command, his teeth strung out again and poised, as they moved closer to her neck. There was laughter in his throat.
"...Your master is dead...just as you soon shall be...mwahahaha..."
Seras couldn't help it...this wasn't her master that she knew.
She fought back, pulling away hard, and wrenched her arm back, elbowing him hard in the stomach before her hand came out and made contact with his face sharply.
All the while hoping against hope that it would help, she started screaming at the top of her lungs at him, saying things that would, she hoped, bring him back...or at least help prod him along a little.
"MASTER!!!" She repeated herself over and over and over again, hating to yell at him and never wanting to again...so she made sure this would have to be effective. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! STOP THIS..." She practically snarled at him, resisting the urge to bitch slap him again.
"I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON...but I love you...I FUCKING LOVE YOU...AND WHAT THE HELL DO YOU DO TO ME?? YOU FUCKING TRY TO KILL ME..." Her voice ended bitterly, growling like a wild dog. "And I thought you did, too."
Alucard stared at her, slightly dumbstruck, as the black nothingness in his heart still raged on, showing through his midnight eyes. She had definitely struck a nerve.
He was forced to let go of her, crouching over as she socked his stomach, his urge still directed at attacking her. In his burning rage he stood up straight again, a little disheveled, but poised to attack.
The long wasps of black hair that surrounded them and covered the room in total pitch black, struggled to take on a new form. With much effort, it was an ever-familiar black dog's front end, all six of his red beady eyes lined up on the top of its head. It stood next to Seras firmly, its many eyes all glaring at the black form and the rest of its body still attached to the black surroundings. The dog opened its great mouth to speak in a voice filled with sorrow, fear, outrage and fury.
"...I do love you, Seras...I am sorry..." With that, the dog didn't wait around a second longer and lunged at the tall and lean black figure towering menacingly over the both of them. Its jaw closed powerfully on the black Alucard's stomach as it jumped, gnawing savagely and tore at him like he was a piece of tissue paper.
Seras blinked slowly, one of her eyes twitching slowly as she quickly tried to take in all that was happening. She didn't exactly have enough time for it all to sink in, as her body moved on it's own accord and fell to the ground and snatched up her trusty halconnen.
She rose back up like a spring and handled the already-cocked gun in her arms, aiming, then fired at the black figure's head, taking off just about the whole half of his face.
Couldn't have been any more perfect in her timing, as it gave the dog, which was fierce in his attack, an idea. With all of his glazed eyes he, too, attacked at the figure's head. Except this time he didn't bother biting, but devoured it whole, blood squirting out on every side like a fire hose. The black Alucard's body fell to the ground by the sheer force of being pummeled so many times in the head, and the dog, which had already taken a sizable chunk out of his stomach, immediately started ripping at his defeated body and devouring it like he did with the blasted-through head…
Piece by piece, less and less of him was there. Though the dog knew Seras was watching, he didn't pay much attention to her.
And indeed she was watching, her eyes wider than they had ever been, and her gun slowly dropped to her side as her arm grew limp, the steel of the halconnen hitting the bare flesh on her right thigh. She watched in confused horror as the dog, she had by now distinguished as her master, devoured his own black self like a mad dog; her eyes were almost rolling into the back of her head.
The black dog continued until nothing was left, and the surrounding mass of black hair seemed to recognize the pitch dog as its master, and covered it as if it were being wrapped up. Its six deep red eyes gazed at Seras, contemplating events, all of those eyes showed sorrow, sadness, and hurt...and anger, at himself.
The hair wrapped all around the dog, which was covered head to toe, instantly transformed it to his human form, which appeared lying curled up on the floor.
The problem was the absence of clothing, unless you count his incredibly long, black hair that covered him from his midsection and down. Unmoving, Alucard lied there, as if dead...
AN: Whoooboy…@_@ Tensions rising more!!...Next chapter is a little weird, should look forward to it, though ^^..
