Chapter IV: First Night
.
The call came in at exactly midnight.
Squad B had already been assembled and Victoria prepared herself for another hunt. But she was deeply concerned and confused as to why Sol was in formation. He was not even formally trained yet so why was he there?
She didn't have time to get an answer for they were already ready to mobilize and with the final order from Hellsing, they were on their way.
Celes observed the actions of Sol, or the lack of it. He was passive and unresponsive.
He was nervous as hell.
Who wouldn't be if you were thrown into a mission without even the basic training? It was like throwing a baby into a pool to learn how to swim.
And this pool has man-eating sharks waiting for their first prey. And Celes was afraid that the prey would be him.
But he was HER prey. She will NOT let the other bloodsuckers have him. As far as she was concerned, he was her property.
She blinked as she realized what she had just said. Since when did she have the right to claim him for her own?
She smiled as she inwardly answered her own question: Since she first laid her eyes on him.
Celes kept looking at Sol wondering what he was going through his mind. And every so often, she glances at the vein in his neck. She could hear the blood flow through it as his heart beat in perfect calmness. Calmness? Celes concentrated and had confirmed it. Sol's heart was beating thirty- five per minute. But that was half the average heart rate of a normal person.
She also wondered how his heart sounded if he was in ecstasy or when he made love. She wanted to experience it first hand.
Forcing her eyes away from him, she tried to clear her thoughts but to no avail. He was all that she could think of.
Was she truly that hungry or was it another type of hunger she craves.
She didn't have time to ponder on this for the transport stopped and the door opened.
Falling in formation, the captain gave out the orders.
"Intel says that there are three vampires inside the building," the captain said. Celes looked up to see and old building that seemed to be built during the First World War. "As to ghouls, we do not know. Our task is to eliminate all vampires and ghouls. Understand?"
"Sir, yes sir!" the squad said in unison.
"Good. Helios, Take point." Sol was momentarily dazed by this order but he obeyed. Taking out his pistol, he led the squad into the building. Celes glared at the captain but he just gave her an apologetic look and mouthed 'orders.' Sighing, Celes Victoria followed them in.
Sol checked every corner for the undead before signaling to the others. He knew that the pointman was always the first to face the dangers ahead. Inwardly, he wished that he were still in training with the beautiful Celes Victoria.
He sighed as he turned another corner but he already was facing the back of the head of a ghoul. Quickly hiding behind the wall, he signaled the others to wait.
Celes was watching him with great nervousness. What if he dies and she didn't even feel the warmth of his lips and the heat of his blood? And why was she thinking of that? She cringed as she saw Sol tripped on a plant and dropped his gun. She sighed as she watched him pick himself up.
Why did Hellsing make him take point? Was she eager to get him killed? She knew that the rest of the squad was groaning at his clumsiness.
Suddenly, Sol squeezed the trigger and accidentally shot at their direction. Everyone ducked but Celes kept her ground. The bullet whizzed past her ear but she kept her eye on Sol. But something she heard made her look back. And what she saw, surprised her. She saw one of the targeted vampires disintegrate into a pile of dust. And where she was positioned was in the path of the bullet Sol had fired. But the vampire was not in Sol's line of sight. How did he now? Was it a fluke?" Looking at Sol, she saw him give her a sign of apology.
This was going to be a long night.
"What are you doing?" Celes asked as she walked towards him.
"I have no idea," Sol said as he accidentally fired his gun again. This time there was a shriek before Celes turned to see another vampire turning to dust.
Two down, one to go. Was he doing this on purpose or was he extremely lucky?
"Sorry," he said sheepishly as he holstered the weapon. Celes wondered what damage he could do with her Halcyone. Probably a lot.
They suddenly heard the moaning of the ghouls nearing them. Sol quickly drew his gun but it fired again and struck the fire extinguisher, making it explode and the force and shrapnel disintegrated a group of zombies.
Celes looked at him in astonishment.
"Oops," he weakly said as he holstered the gun. Celes didn't know what to think. Was he really that lucky?
"I really need to keep an eye on you," Celes said as she sighed.
"Sorry," he apologized. He was so cute looking that way that Celes evidently smiled.
"Be careful," she said as she cocked her MP5. She signaled to the squad that she was taking him and they should go ahead. The squad leader, with a sigh of relief, nodded and went the other way. "Let's go," she said. As soon as she did, Sol tripped on his own foot and tumbled forward, bringing Celes with him to the floor.
"What the hell are you doing?!" she shouted as she turned to face him, but when she did she found themselves in a very compromising position.
Sol was in all fours and had her between his arms. One of his legs was in between hers, when you look at it one of her was in between his. Celes swallowed as she looked up to his apologetic but sweet face. After a few more second, Celes found her voice again.
"Sol, if you keep doing this I'll have to think that you have an ulterior motive in your mind," she smirked as she tried to get up. Sol drew out his weapon and helped her up.
"I'm truly sorry," he smiled sadly and walked away. Sighing, Celes was about to follow when she saw something shining from the corner of her eye. And what she saw shocked her.
A silver arrow was imbedded in the wall where, only a moment ago, she was standing. Had it not been for Sol's trip, she would have been a shish kabob. Looking at Sol, she studied him. Studied him closely. And she noticed things that she didn't before.
For one thing, Sol was holding the gun expertly, although it seemed like he was fumbling with it. And she realized that he was left-handed. It didn't seem peculiar, most people are lefties. Sol peered at a corner and the clip of his gun ejected and he bent down to pick it up. As he did, he accidentally fired his gun causing him to cringe in apology. Standing up, he reloaded the clip and cocked the gun.
Celes wondered if his clumsiness was real or not. Sol motioned her to follow him as he disappeared into the corner. Celes smiled as she followed him, intrigued at her new find. She was liking him more by the second.
As the hall ended, Celes was surprised to find an abandoned crossbow on top of a pile of dust. When she saw the arrow, she knew that it was the same one that nearly took her life a while ago.
"This is Squad A leader to Celes," the radio crackled.
"Go ahead," she said as she took the radio from her hip.
"Building is clear, over," Celes frowned at the news. Did that mean that Sol had killed every vampire in the building? It was unbelievable. But the question was: Was it attributed to luck?
"Make sure and regroup at the carrier, out," she said and replaced her radio on her belt.
"Is it over?" he asked as he holstered his weapon. Celes smiled and nodded.
"Good," Sol sighed as he rubbed his temples. "I don't think I can take more of this tonight. I'm a bundle of nerves."
With that, Celes Victoria laughed.
