Such wonderful suggestions I've recieved so far. I'll try my best to write as many as I can. :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Hellsing or the movie.
HERE BOY!
The Hellhound was sitting up on the wooden floor of the spare bedroom, its ears drooping dejectedly. Around its neck was a silver collar, which seemed to match the silver anklets and chains that bound its four feet. Below the immense shaggy form, the Hellsing seal pulsed like a grotesque pyrotechnic display. The large, black dog blinked moodily, each pair of its three sets of eyes slightly out of sync with the others.
Integra stood in front of it, staring angrily down at the creature. Her clenched fists were on her hips, her face a mask of cold fury. In one hand, she held on to something black and rectangular.
The Hellhound whined.
Integra's eyebrow twitched. She launched into her tirade.
"ALUCARD! YOU STUPID VAMPIRE! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO RUNNING AROUND IN HELLHOUND FORM! YOU ATTRACT TOO MUCH ATTENTION! THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE HAD TO EXPLAIN AN EIGHT-EYED DOG TO TWO SCARED POLICEMEN!"
But, Master. I was just having some harmless fun. There was a dog catcher on my tail. I had to get rid of him.
"SO YOU DECIDED TO HAVE HIM FOR A SNACK!"
Oh Master, a gross exaggeration. It was only a slight nibble on the leg.
"THE MAN HAS BEEN WARDED IN INTENSIVE CARE AND INTENDS TO SUE! I DO NOT CONSIDER THAT A GROSS EXAGGERATION!"
The dog looked up, its tail switching slightly, throwing up a small cloud of dust. All six eyes widened, in what the vampire thought would be an adorable expression. The result was far from what he expected.
Integra glared down at Alucard. The ice in it could have frozen the Sahara Desert three times over. The dog stopped its tail-wagging and dropped its gaze.
"Well, it doesn't matter. I should have let them throw you in the pound but you would only escape. I expect that the only way for you to learn your lesson is for me to punish you myself. I hope you'll keep this in mind next time you decide to run off like a rabid animal."
Turning around, she strode over to the large TV that had been brought in and set up just for the occasion. It had a wide screen, and on either side were two tall and slim speakers. It was a home theatre set, designed for crisp images and surround sound. Bending over, she slipped the tape into the VCR.
Once that was done, she pulled up a chair from a corner and crossed over to the dog. Setting it down just to Alucard's left, she sat down and crossed her legs. Integra held up the remote.
"This used to be one of my favourite movies when I was young. It brings back good memories."
With that last statement, she pressed the PLAY button.
(One hour later… )
The sounds of the movie echoed down the quiet hallway, the paintings on the wall the only witnesses to what was occurring inside the room. The sounds were loud and clear. Integra had turned the volume up to the maximum, so as drum the show into Alucard's skull.
Intense, dramatic music filled the air as something dire happened to one of the main characters.
"OH NO, TIMMY'S FALLEN INTO THE RIVER!"
There were the sounds of splashing as the boy in the movie struggled, as well as the rush of water over rocks.
More nail-bitingly tense music.
The barking of a dog followed, and with it there was a change in background accompaniment. Now it was something uplifting and triumphant as the faithful animal leaped into the river after its master.
This was followed by a loud howl cum yell.
It did not come from the movie.
"OOOOOWWWWWWOOOOOOOO….NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! PLEASE MASTER! NO MORE! NO MORE…"
The cackle of Integra's manic laughter cut though the vampire's screams. However, it failed to hide the next bit of dialogue.
"Oh Lassie, you saved me. I love you sooooo much… You're a good dog, yes you are… I love you so much, yes I do…"
Integra snickered some more. She hadn't had this much fun in ages.
After all, there was nothing like a good, wholesome, family-orientated animal drama to drive a sadistic vampire to the brink of insanity.
Author's Notes:
Timmy owns a dog, called Lassie, who has to constantly save him from dangerous situations. Let's face it. The kid is a walking disaster zone.
I pity the dog.
Sorry the ficcy is so short. This is a brief interlude for the next fic that I'm working on. It's gonna be difficult to write, cos I need to do some research first. Hence, I need more time. :)
