Chapter 10 WHEN THINGS GO WRONG

I do not own hellsing. I really wish I did though... sorry about the OOCness, I had to do it to make this story work. Please.. forgive me.

IN THE CATHEDRAL

Carmilla took a step towards the figure, and felt a flash of white hot anger run through her as she saw the hellsing emblem on the uniform of her comrade. Is all that did for her was remind her of Alucard, and his betrayal. Sneering in contempt, she tossed over a black dress for Seras to wear. "That will look much better on you I garentee my dear." Turning around so the new vampire could change quietly in privacy, she thought about how she was so embittered that she could not even keep her voice from being as icy as her hands. "I really must try to put some more emotion in my voice" she muttered in concentration. If she really was to do this, she must gain the trust of several allies. A tiny voice from the back of the room pulled her out of her daydreaming.

"Um.... Ma'am? I am finished changing. But what was the purpose of this?" Seras looked gorgeous in the tight fitting, black evening dress that faintly resembled the personality of the ancient woman she was talking to. But the presence of fear was still evident in her words.

Carmilla smiled, and taking a deep breath replied, "Please, my dear, don't ask questions. I am a stubborn woman, and I don't like the look of pretty girls being in mens clothes. " Carmilla felt that the response she gave her would work, even though the uniform she wore before was a far cry from manly. Thank goodness she was so naïve.

Strutting over to the nervous young one, Carmilla tilted her chin and smiled softly as she looked deep into Seras' eyes. She saw innocence, and a burning desire to prove herself to her master. She wanted to do so much, but she felt trapped, by standards, and her own feelings. She would do just fine in her plan to crush Alucard like the rotting cockroach he was. "No Life King my ass " she grumbled under her breath.

"What was that you said Ma'am ?" Seras asked apprehensively. She pulled the bottom of her dress down and picked up the bundle of papers that lay on the table in the middle of the room. Leafing through them, she saw blueprints of the hellsing manor, a package of everything about Alucard, and a shopping list of things that she needed to pick up. Uttering a small gasp of astonishment, she dropped the papers in disbelief. "Ma'am..." Seras stammered, "I thought you were not meaning to kill Alucard, just give him a lesson ? " Her eyes widened and grew watery as she thought of a life were the no life king didn't exist somewhere.

Carmilla made useless cooing noises to calm Seras. With a look of sympathy and pity very clear on her face, she replied, lying through her fangs, " Honey, we are not killing him, for he is already dead. What we are simply doing is ending what should have been ended many years ago. Alucard is a very evil vampire, and he will do nothing but screw up and ruin more lives. So it is up to us to do it hmm? " Carmilla finished her spiel with a questioning look, to suggest that to question her would be a fatal insult. She needed to make Seras understand that Alucard was the problem, and she was the solution. He was the parasite of the lifestyle of the vampire, a traitor for working with humans. The only way to deal with it, was to eliminate him. And Seras was beginning to understand.

Holding out her hand for Seras to take, Carmilla smiled as they descended the stairs to go shopping together.

BACK AT THE HELLSING MANOR

"Dammit! Shouted Integra, as she slammed her fists into her desk. Nothing was going right. She kept on sending out her men, as fast as she could deploy them, but still, the freaks were still coming. And seemingly in larger numbers than before. Who the hell was making them? And why? Sitting down in her chair rather hard, she picked up her cup of tea with a rather shaky hand. She had just heard the newest report, and it had really pissed her off. 12 men had died on this one. Way more than she expected. This was just getting way out of control. She could not have another incident happen. It might be Walter next, or even Seras, Alucard was indestructible, she did not have to worry about him. But what the hell was happening? She had to solve this, and solve it quick. Or who knows what else may happen.

A sharp tapping on the door alerted Integra from her self imposed worry prison. Respectfully opening the door, Walter crept in a dignified manner over to her desk, obviously intimidated by her stormy mood. Placing a stack of reports of recent freaks attacks happening around London, he gave her the look and quickly retreated before he faced the wrath of an Integra gone bad.

Glaring at the closed door, Integra silently hated that door for trapping her here, when she could be out doing something productive. Like disciplining Alucard. That was one problem she knew how to fix. After taking a swig of the decanter of brandy on her desk, she set out to go and find her pet.

After seeing his door swing open with some force, and a pissed off slightly tipsy Integra, Alucard decided that she was in a worse mood that usual. He stood up and removed his hat, and looked at her while feeling confusion to what she wanted. The confusion clouded his vision as he watched her pull out a silver dagger and stagger over to him, trying to walk in a straight line, and looking ridiculous doing so.

In Integra's perspective, she was doing something that she should have done a while ago, and this was making perfect sense. "Lay down you bastard of a vampire" she spat through clenched teeth.

Alucard smiled widely, laying down on his cold marble floor. Maybe she was finally taking up his offer, in the typical Integra way?

But as she started dragging the knife across his face and crooning " You have to learn how to behave, so I am going to teach you" Alucard realized she was a little mad. Laughing as the blood dripped down his face, he cried out "Cut me harder, you know you want to!" Integra sneered, and then dragged the knife down his chest.

She was semi intriged by the way the cuts disappeared instantly. She was more puzzled why he was laughing hysterically though. Maybe it was because she was just a pathetic human. "You need to behave and listen to me" she remarked as she slashed again, but with a bit more force.

Alucard stopped laughing and sat up, tipping Integra on her back. "Master, apparently you have not grasped the concept of I am a wild creature. I am only on a leash, but I am still wild. I will never behave. Get used to it." Sitting her up straight, and taking the knife away from her and putting it on a nearby table, he jumped out of a window to get out of "the house."

Integra stood up. Brushing a bit of dirt off of her shoulder, she left his room to go back to her office. So what if she couldn't change him? She would just make him regret that he wasn't complacent. Well, if the one thing her really cared about in the world was her and himself.......

Sorry that this is taking so long to update, but exam time is here, and german conjugations are crowding my brain.
