Hellsing:
Amen
by Notan Rappa
Chapter 13: Awakening
Seras got back to her room and spent almost an hour drinking her blood packets. She wanted to take her time. Jason's blood had been particularly filling, and as such, there was a blood packet left over. Then Seras got an idea.
'I'll
carry it with me, so when I get thirsty I'll have something to
drink.'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moments later, in Walter's room...
Jason's eyes snapped open. He was slightly disturbed by the dream he just had. He stood up slowly and pressed his head into his palm.
"God,
I need a smoke." He walked out the room and headed down the stairs.
On his way down, he passed by Seras going in the opposite
direction. "Don't worry." he said to her. "I
won't tell the men." Then he walked on past her to his
bunk.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moments later...
Seras walked into Walter's room, and walked up
to the bed. "Hello, Walter. I don't know if you can
actually hear me, but I want you to know that I hope you get better
soon." She was silent for a while. She just stood there
and looked at Walter. She was just about to leave, when she
thought she saw Walter move. "Walter...?" Walter's eyes
slide open.
"S...e...r...a...s...?"
"Walter! You're awake!"
"Da..rk...and...blood. So...much...dark." Seras
got up and ran for Integra's
study.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile...
"About Seras. You do know how she feels
about you, don't you?"
"How she
feels?"
"Oh come on, Alucard. She's
obviously smitten with you." Alucard laughed. "What's so
funny?"
"No, maybe she was at some
point, but she isn't now. I believe that for the longest
while she has been attracted to Pip."
"Ah,
yes, Pip. Where is Pip? I haven't seem him in a
while."
"He was reported missing as of
the Incognito incident."
"Ah." said
Integra, her face turning crestfallen. 'Damn. He was
a good officer. Why is it that all of the good ones die?'
At that moment, Seras burst into the room.
"Walter! He's awake!"
"Really!" said Integra, standing up as fast as she could, her
headache momentarily
forgotten.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later...
"Well, he was awake." said Seras. "Sorry
I dragged you guys out here."
"No,
Seras." said Alucard. "This is actually very significant.
Did he speak? Did he see you? Recognize you?"
"He did. He said my name, then he started
rambling about darkness and blood."
"What
does it mean?" Integra asked Alucard.
"It
means," Alucard replied, "that Walter is still figuring out which
parts of his mind are his, and which parts aren't. It also
means that he has made great progress in this, but I feel that he
still has a long ways to go yet."
