Chapter 2:
Alucard's face dropped for a moment, and then quickly, he composed himself again. In a voice of uncertainty, he continued slightly shaky, but in a deep soothing voice. "Master, how can that be? If she was kidnapped, which from this institution is impossible, I would have known as she is my servant. I would have felt something…"
Integra glanced at him; her pale cold eyes spoke as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Well, Alucard, in the name of the institution, when was the last time you saw her?" Implying with her eyes, still a stone like face, that he was unobservant.
Alucard stood in awe for a moment, and then looked at the floor in shame. "Sorry, master. She is my responsibility…"
Integra glanced at him, walked over, and put her hand on his chin bringing his head up so that his gaze met hers. "It is the job of this institution to look out for its members. This was no kidnapping, she ran away."
Alucard was stunned for a moment. He knew Seras, and he knew that she would not just get up and leave without good reason, but he also knew that there was growing tension between her and Integra. What the tension was over, he could only guess, but he decided not to enter into their quarrels long ago….
Then his eyes grew pale, and his face darkened with realization. He took hold of Integra's hand as if to keep it on his face, but tore it away from him. His throat held a low growl and he continued this time in a sarcastic voice, but meaning every word of it. "It was you….mwh ah ha….I see now, my master. You drove out Seras, didn't you?"
Integra's eyes grew vivid and darker blue as she focused on him, which wasn't hard as he was less than a foot away. The rage welled behind her eyes and voice as she spoke. "How dare you accuse me of such a thing! I would have thought my servants thought better of me." She said in a snooty way, one made from pride.
Alucard laughed shrilly, he found this all very amusing, but he knew he was pissing her off. "Ah, so it was you then. Mwh ha ha. You would do much better if you actually told the truth to your servants, my master."
That was the last straw. Integra walked closer, and slapped him across the face hard. It left a reddened mark of her hand on his face. She said in a prideful and deep voice. "How dare you call me a liar? After all the years of service you have given to me and my family, you now run the Hellsing name through the mud."
Alucard turned his head back to her, amusement on his face. He could not say that he did not see it coming, he knew Integra too well for that. "Hmm..." He spat on the floor and looked back to her, "I don't need to run the Hellsing name through the mud, your doing well at that already. Hmm…What do you think, Integra, my master, your colleagues will say when they find out that you dismissed a rookie vampire over…..how should I say…..jealousy?" While saying this, he pushed her too the wall. By the time he ended his comment, Integra's back was against the wall, and Alucard's demented smile was inches from her. His arms were placed firmly on her arms, locking her in place.
Integra was cornered, she could not move, and only glared back at him. She would not scream, or yell, it was not her way. He pushed in on her more, as his eyes told her to speak, and she did not. Relentless she finally said, "I will not be made fun of in my own organization!" She spat on him, and Alucard only glared back at her, not a flinch.
He held her tighter staring at her neck, and then back to her eyes, making sure she noticed that. "You know that is what you want, master." He said in a dark and sinister voice, as his hair half covered his face, his teeth seen in a half grin. "That is also the reason you drove her out, isn't it. You want to experience it so badly, but do not want to admit it…mwh ah ha…That is truly a sad site." He let go of her, adjusted his glasses as they had slid to the crook of his nose and started to turn to leave, his face expressionless.
Integra stared at him, dumbfounded, and seemed to lose her sense of place for a moment. She shook her head reaped times and stared at him, the anger surging throughout her body as he was almost to the door. She yelled her orders, "Get back her, Alucard, I did not dismiss you yet!" She glinted with a smile of victory on her face, "You are still under the control of my family, meaning you have to obey my commands, and I command you to stop." Like clockwork, he stopped and turned back to her, but this time with a grin on his face, she knew he was up to something.
He glinted at her, his half smile returned. "True, my master, I am still under your rule." He turned fully around, to see her expression. "The thing is, my master, I was captured a long time ago, and since then, I have done everything to a tee. Call this my ….vacation, I don't care, I'm going to find Seras, and you can not do a thing about it." He continued sarcastically, "Hunt me, call all of the Hellsing organization, hell, make freaking priest come after me. You can not stop me, or slow me down…mwh ha ha…it will only make my amusement last." Alucard, with a smile on his face, turned his back on her one last time. He cocked his head slightly to see her furry rise, and he said with a smile. "Good evening, Miss. Hellsing, my master." Integra's voice traveled after him, but he would hear no more of it.
