Note: I do not own Hellsing, or any characters except for Romi. Part 5 of 5, conclusion.
Well, it's been great -- here's the last chapter. Enjoy!
Seras trembled with nervousness at the shadow who held Alucard in a box.
"W-who are you?" she stuttered, fumbling with her Halcannon. She didn't want to hit her master!
It did not step out of the shadows, but shifted slightly and spoke: "My name is Rominov Teiporah.
But you may call me Romi. At least, for the next few minutes -- which is all you have left of your un-life, child."
Seras gestured at the box. "What did you d-do to Master Alucard?"
"He's in my box. I have spies and eyes everywhere, you know. They told me the high-and-mighty Alucard was under the effect of a magic spell and was tiny. I discovered a magic spell from an ancient text, which allows an ordinary box to hold anything that is not alive, and not let it escape."
"So anything dead is trapped." Seras said lowly as she stared at the box.
"Also, they lose consciousness. Your precious, precocious master is out cold, and helpless." Romi grinned and stepped into the dim light of a setting, waning moon that shone through the window. Seras stepped backwards, away from him, and tripped backwards over an outstretched arm. Seras shuddered when she saw more of them. Several dead police officers lay on the floor, their heads torn off. It was the remains of the latest raid attempt. Some had not had even enough time to pull out their guns, their deaths came so quickly.
"With Alucard out of the way, I will be able to kill as many as I want. I will gather an army, and…"
As he went on, staring out the window, Seras desperately thought of how she was going to get out. Her hand nudged one of the officer's untouched guns.
That gave her an idea.
"…all will be powerless to stop me!" he crowed, and turned to face Seras, the box under one arm. His eyes widened in shock, as she squinted and pulled the trigger.
"Hah. Ordinary guns can't -" he started, then noticed that she wasn't aiming at his heart. "No!" Seras was aiming at his shoulder.
Her aim was true -- his arm was blown off and she dove for the box.
"Argh!" he yelled, clutching his wounded side and turning. But Seras kicked the box so that it fell over. The lid flew off and Alucard spun out like a top.
At that exact same time
Back in Sir Integra's office, she found the counter spell.
Walter pulled over a light and she began to read it.
Back to the action
Alucard suddenly burst back to his normal size. He shook his head and blinked, then grinned fiercely. "Master, help!" screamed Seras as she struggled to hold the vampire.
This time Alucard didn't blink. He whipped out both of his guns and sighted Romi's head and heart.
"N- no!" screamed the one-armed vampire. "It's not fair!"
"Life's not fair." said Seras coolly, leaping away as Alucard blew Romi to Hell.
When the dust had settled
Seras managed to free the hostages, pushing them outside. They had been blindfolded, and never saw a thing.
She trudged back to the top floor to collect her gun and sank to the floor, exhausted with the effort of not breaking down. She dragged herself over to the corner and leaned against the wall, closing her eyes.
Alucard came over and sat down beside her.
"Well, Police Girl, you did good." he said, smiling at her.
"I'm sorry." she said, looking up sadly.
"What for? You did that very well." he cajoled her.
"I did?" her eyes sparkled. "I…I guess I did." she looked down at her knees and smiled slightly. "Go, me."
Alucard snorted to cover up his laughter, but Seras caught it.
"Uh-oh." she noted, looking towards the boarded-up windows. "The sun's coming up. There's no time to head back to headquarters!" Nervously, she looked at Alucard. He tilted his head at her.
"Don't worry. Here," he lifted up his cloak, "come here."
She blinked, then smiled warmly. He gathered her up and covered them both in his long red cloak.
"Sleep well, Police Girl," he breathed into her ear, "or should I say…Seras Victoria…"
She was already fast asleep, so she didn't hear him.
But she didn't have to.
She already knew.
End.
Wheeeeeee! It's finally done! [Dances around room] So how was that? Review! Please!
Note: This is the last update for a while on my stories. I won't be updating for a while, as school starts next week. Think of this as the last gift before the school year begins. But I'll be back! Soon!
