Hi again! Really fast update, huh? Well, I just love the next chapter so much, I had to get it in right away. Oh, and Ice Appeal? You wanted it, here it is: The Seras confrontation! Ironic that you should come in and ask that right before I put it in. And its not exactly like the character steals his non-existent heart, but more like he almost literally steals hers. He he he he he…I'm evilly going to leave my foreshadowing there. Bah! I talk too much! Farewell, and remember to review!
Disclaimer: Argh! My brain has fizzled! I can't think of a funny way to tell you people that I don't own Hellsing!
Chapter 6: Sears
Stunned, I only stared at her for a minute. Then I laughed so hard I fell off my chair. Biting my lip to keep from yelling at my new bruises, I looked at her.
"Listen, I'm not interested in 'im. For one thing, I'm human; he'd eat me alive. For another, im only 14. He's how old? It'd never work. So don't bite my head off, OK?" I winced. Bite my head off? How insensitive could I be? Her eyes dropped to the floor. I stood up and walked over.
"Listen, Seras…" she jerked away from me.
"Don't. I'm sorry, I just…get so emotional about Master." I looked at the older, dead girl, and very much wanted to comfort her.
"It's alright," I said softly. "I get it a lot. I'm so weird, most people yell at me just for stepping on their shadow. And I can see I was kinda insensitive and all…" she sniffed and laughed.
"Master would probably just tell me I'm letting my human emotions get in the way. He doesn't think I'm a very good vampire." I laughed.
"You're a better one than the one that tried to kill me, that's for sure." Seras brightened.
"Really?" She asked hopefully.
"Totally. That slime bucket got better 'an 'e deserved. Wow, I sound like a seventies gangster movie." I blinked. Seras laughed. It sounded normal, next to my cackle. That made no sense. The vampire had a normal laugh, the teenager didn't. Seras stopped laughing and grabbed my hand.
"Come on! I'll show you around!" she didn't even wait for an answer before dragging me out the door. I paid careful attention, so that I would know my way back. She raced up the stairs, and right into a big, burly man. He leered at her, then noticed me. I stared at him, perfectly at home despite the fact that a vampires was holding my hand and I had absolutely no idea were I was. He looked away first.
"Who's little red riding hood?" he asked. I looked down at my robe. I was covered in vampire blood. That's odd, I thought. Why didn't I notice that before? Seras glared up at the man and opened her mouth to speak. I cut her off.
"Her new lover, thank you very much." I said it in a deep voice, like I was a boy. " My name is Scott." He stared at me. Seras blushed.
"Really? Your really that, things lover?" I smirked, dropping my deep voice.
"No, but you should see the look on you face." I cackled. The man took a step back, looking confused.
"Harrumph!" was all he said before leaving. Seras stared at me in awe.
"That was amazing! Only thirty seconds into the conversation, he up and ran!" I put on a solemn face.
"I have that effect on people." I said, then broke down and laughed. She grinned at me.
"He's been bugging me for weeks, asking if I'm disappointed by the lack of live victims. I've just been ignoring him, but it wasn't working. Thanks!"
"No problem." I assured her. She grinned, then raced through the hallways again, she shot out the door, and onto the grounds. Around one corner of the manor, I saw the shooting range. She came to a halt.
"This is one of my favorite places." She sighed happily. I reclaimed my hand and looked around. It looked fairly standard. Lockers for guns and extra ammo, earmuffs hear and there, targets at the far end of the field. As I inspected the booths, I felt something in my mind. Whirling around, I found Alucard standing there holding…my jaw dropped.
"Is that my bow?" I questioned. He grinned.
"One of the many things I saw in your mind is that you're a good archer." He held the bow, and my three target arrows, out to me.
"You also seem to have seen were my house is." I said, suddenly worried. He only grinned. I sighed.
"Well, if you killed my family then there's nothing I can do about it. I don't know for sure, so im not gonna waste my time worrying. I'll be sad when and if you tell me they're dead." I held the bow up, arrow to the string. Using one finger to aim (the way Kagome does on 'Inuyasha'), I sighted, checked my aim, and loosed. The arrow flew down the field, and went right through the heart of a man shaped target.
A/N: Scottthespy): I like this chapter, but trouble lies ahead…
Seras): What do you mean?
Scotthespy): For now, my lips are sealed. Mwa he he he he he he he he he!
