Alrighty, chapter two, feeling good too! Let's see how many chapters I can crank out in one night eh?
In this chapter our mystery man gains a name, hurrah!
I wont beg you to review, but I'm not saying I wont do it out of desperation either...
I changed the mood a bit, because I'm contemplating a small romance to blossom in this story, nothing big, but enough to satisfy you Seras x Alucard junkies :)
"My Master"
Ch.2- Nicolas
Seras' sleep was deep and her dreams uneventful, She recalled waking a few times in her own coffin, but not taking the time to wonder how she had gotten there before she drifted off again. Seras was right about needing a good rest; through the day she had literally become the one of the dead and ended up softly snoring the hours away. By nightfall She lay snuggled up quite comfortably to her pillow, a small tickling in the back of her mind telling her it was time to wake up. She ignored the reminder with a heaving yawn and rolled onto her chest drifting back towards sleep. It didn't last long however, when an impatient beckoning invaded her sleep. With a groan and a resistant sigh the young vampire recognized it as her master's voice.
"Police girl..." He called with annoyance through the silence. Seras blinked a few times, a bit bewildered as to where the voice was coming from. She hunched her body up on her upper arms still looking down at her pillow, letting her eyes adjust to the darkness. She began to sit up more when the back of her head collided with something soft. An amused chuckle vibrated off the back of the Seras' skull as she felt fangs mingle with her corn silk hair.
"It's evening police girl." He murmured into her hair, "Time to wake up."
"Master!" She shrieked angrily at his invasion of her privacy,
Now realizing what she had collided with Seras threw herself down onto the bed and rolled to her back to see her grinning master's glinting red eyes. His head and shoulders were all that was sticking through her coffin lid. His usual hat and sunglass accessories were nowhere to be seen, leaving his long flowing hair to pool onto her bed and cover his piercing...crimson...eyes! Suddenly it began to come pouring back into Seras' mind, the strange vampire, his harsh grip, dawn coming, blacking out...Seras shot upright nearly colliding with Alucard's face again, she had to tell him what happened, the details were so fresh in her mind.
"Master!" She shouted, but was silenced as soon as she opened her mouth to speak again.
"I know." He said emotionless, any humor that was once in his voice was now gone, "Hurry along" He withdrew from her coffin slowly, "My master calls for us." His voice spoke quietly in her head, and then he was gone.
"What was that...?" Seras mused as she fumbled around in the dark for the coffin lid switch. Master seemed so serious. Was it about that other vampire? He did look an awful lot like master, and he even asked for him! Seras slid from her bed realizing that her uniform was still on as it had been the previous evening. Whoever had deposited her there, didn't bother to remove it. All the better, it's best not to be caught in those kinds of situations...
Although Seras' was still dressed she looked quite the fright. Her jacket was twisted around her torso tightly, her skirt had become hiked nearly up around her hips and her hair stuck every which way. She comically sighed at her appearance wasting no time making adjustments then hurrying on her way to Sir Integra's office.
Halfway there her mind began to wander off to the stranger again. His gaze was so intense, and his voice was so stern and serious, and his grip...Seras' fingers traveled to her neck where she was strangled, it was still a bit sore, that was nothing a gulp of blood couldn't help,
"Blech..." Seras gripped as she mentally scolded herself for thinking about blood drinking again, not in a million years would she ever get used to it. As she reached Sir Integra's door she pushed the thought deep into the recess of her mind, no use bothering with it now. She gave a courtesy knock before she opened the door and peeked her head inside,
"Sir Integra?" She addressed the strong fair-haired woman sitting behind a grand oak desk, "You wished to see me?"
"Yes Miss Victoria" She answered with the smooth grace that was slightly intimidating, but characterized her relatively well, "Please come in."
Seras stepped over the threshold, and gave the candlelit office a once over before she walked to the center of the room. A stir of shadows in the corner announced her Master's arrival; he slowly paced along the wall, the whole time regarding her through golden lenses. She didn't know what it was that swirled in those crimson orbs, but she had an odd notion that it may have been anxiety. Master was anxious? That didn't seem right. What on earth was there to be nervous about? Her mind bounced the question around as she continued to lock eyes with him, but flicked her gaze away when he narrowed his eyes dangerously and stopped to lean against the wall.
The young vampire shooed the thoughts from her head and began to focus on the matter at hand when she noticed another shadow moving about the room. It slipped along the opposite wall then along the floor halting a few feet from Seras' left side. Before she could react a head emerged from the smooth marble, followed by wide shoulders, narrow waist and long lanky limbs. He stood nearly as tall as master, and held himself in a very similar way. Seras' mind snapped as she met his glowing claret eyes, that shimmered with mischief and something a bit darker that she couldn't place. This was the Vampire who attacked her last night! Why was he inside the castle?!
"Good evening Lady Victoria." He spoke with an ancient grace that transcended the ages.
"Eehhhh..." She whimpered taking as many steps away from the vampire as she could, and soon her back collided with something firm and warm, Alucard. She had a feeling that she wasn't doing so well for this happening twice in one night when two large gloved hands grasped her shoulders and pushed her forward rather harshly.
"Calm down Police Girl," Alucard scolded her lightly then chuckled lightly, "It's not as if he'll bite you."
Seras didn't like the tone in which he had said 'bite'; as if he was implying something she didn't know about. In fact there was a lot she didn't know about, and to have master leaving her in the dark was not to her liking at all. She turned on him, opening her mouth to retort when she was stopped.
"That's enough..." Integra spoke up, finally having enough of these vampiric shenanigans, "There is much to be discussed."
Seras nodded obediently, but the stranger in the room seemed to have not heard her, or cared for that matter, it was hard to tell as he glided past the desk to the large glass windows that looked out into the night sky. A full moon sat high in the sky that reflected off of the vampire's large crimson eyes, and fang bearing grin. He slightly turned his gaze back to the blonde vampire and gave her the same faraway look,
"Beautiful." He said his grin disappearing slightly as it molded into a smile.
Alucard shifted restlessly behind Seras, and let out a low hiss that only she could hear. She could feel his hellish gaze boring into her back and it made her most uncomfortable, but it was nothing compared to the tension that had suddenly built up in the room between the two vampires. This was relatively odd, why had that stranger looked at her like that? And why was Master suddenly become so angry? Perhaps anger wasn't the right emotion to explain it, but he certainly wasn't enjoying this vampire's presence. Before Seras could ponder further, Sir Integra's voice cut through her thoughts again,
"If you would please..." She spoke with a slight irritation in her voice, still not getting a response from the stranger, who still locked hellish eyes with Seras.
"Lady Victoria" He began, widening his grin then continued his simple statement, "My name is Nicolas, and I have come to visit my master Alucard."
Great, chapter two is done!
Nicolas is finally introduced, and you'll get a better idea of who he is next chapter. I still haven't answered any questions huh? Well I guess that's why this story will remain a mystery for a while. But you will love me right? RIGHT?!
