This is the beginning of a citrusy chapter I have posted in AFF. You are more than welcome there to read the rest of it. If you can of course. You know what I mean. It's a mild one.
"Oh no... hell no..." I said in the verge of a violent outburst.
"I'm sorry, those were my orders, to tell you this—." Seras said almost pouting.
"I will not be information retrieval! I am not sick! I am going through a normal cycle—God it's as human as it can get! This is discrimination in the workplace I will sue!"
"But you're not being fired or anything... just transferred for 3 days... until your period goes away."
"3 days? Hell no, I will speak to whoever gave you this—."
"Sir Hellsing."
Silence.
I kicked the trashcan beside my shelf, this action making my knives fall off my boots. "Oh great..."
"What happened to your boots?"
"Yesterday the compartments got all screwed up... now I can't carry them..."
"Did you tell Walter?"
"Yeah, but... no, he can do that Sunday... I need my boots I can't look as if I can't do my job."
"There is nothing going on right now so..."
"I need a beer—."
"I'm so sorry..."
"It's ok it's not your fault" I opened the beer hastily. "...this sucks... does that happen to you?"
"I don't get it anymore..."
"Lucky..." I mumbled and gulped down... a big gulp. "The truth is I hate it too... I've been feeling weak today... and I understand it is dangerous to work like this around freaks and ghouls and all that. But I don't get it, why now... it's not like it has been the first time I have been to a mission like this..."
She shrugged.
"Whatever..." I gulped down more beer. "I saw your Master yesterday... he does look paler than usual..."
"Haven't been able to sneak anything else... I feel bad... like I'm failing him." She dropped her body on my bed.
"No, I'm sure he doesn't want you to get in trouble... something will come up... Sir Hellsing is not stupid, she knows he's Hellsing's trump card... she can't afford to loose him..."
"But I don't want to see him like this..."
"Hmm..." More gulping. "Hey is there a way I can call you or something when I want you to come over?"
"Not that I know of... we have no phones down there, so..."
"That sucks..." I was going to say something about her not deserving this but I have said it so many times that I don't want to cause a riot or anything.
"I'm going to return downstairs to check on the status of events..."
"Have fun... I'll be IR after all! London has to be sinking for me to go out tonight!" I said sarcastically.
"Bye... I'll tell you everything that happens tonight... if something happens..."
"Thanks..." I said unenthusiastically. She left lazily, closing the door behind her. "Not even backup... how embarrassing... I'm first action, for god's sakes..."
I heard a distant dark chuckle behind my door.
"Not tonight vampire... I am not in the mood." I whispered.
Plus I was upset with him. He yelled at me in last night's mission. Ok, it was my fault, but I hate to be yelled at. As always I was exiting the mission for him to take over, but decided, in my stubborn mind, that I wanted to see him in action. I sneaked back in, and got my dosage of action. Not only did I see him morph into the most horrible, diabolical shapes I could never imagine, but also got grabbed by my shirt, pulled up in the air, scolded and yelled in some weird language, by him. Yes, I had disobeyed a direct order. But don't fucking yell at me.
It was worth it though. I have to say I respect him more now. If I wasn't so weird, I would have snapped with what I saw. And if it wasn't for those seals on his hands, I wouldn't even talk to him again. What the hell is he anyway...
But if I was going to be here doing nothing then what the hell right? I stood up and walked to the door.
"Hey..." I said and looked at him for a few seconds. "...you look like shit."
"Thank you... I'm doing great how about you?"
"Seras was right... you look deader than ever..."
"Never felt better too..." He said sarcastically.
"Next time you want to scold me, at least make sure my feet are touching the ground... it is kind of hard to land correctly specially if one is exhausted and scared all at the same time..."
"I didn't ask for company."
"Anyway, it was rude... don't do it again."
"As long as you're not present I don't see why I have to do it again..."
"Ok fine, fine I did wrong, happy? Now I'm fucking IR... give me a goddamn break..."
"Your mouth is dirtier than usual... and you kiss Brendon with that same mouth... what a shame..."
"... go away then..." I grabbed the door to close it.
"Actually..." He put his hand inside so it wouldn't close. "I need a favor."
"A favor? I don't do favors today, man... I'm surfing the crimson wave and that's enough to make me pretty much not-favor material..."
"Then I could help you too, more than you think..."
"Explain..."
"But I need you to have an open mind and listen to me."
"I have a feeling this is not going to be very good to hear."
"Depends on the way you see it."
"I'm having second thoughts about listening to you."
"Please, milady... I need your help—ask for anything in exchange but I NEED this..." He walked closer to me, making emphasis in that he NEEDED this.
"What is it..."
"I need your blood."
"No can do... I am loosing a lot right now—."
"That's my point."
"No comprende."
"I need that blood you are already loosing..."
Silence.
"Oh god, this is—."
"It might sound very bad in your mind... but to me is nothing but food."
"Wait but how do I do that—and where are you helping me?"
"I know you hate this and want to get rid of it... I can have it all at once and you won't have to worry about the next days."
"You mean, accelerate the thing?"
"No, I can have it all at once."
"But how 'have it'? If you're not accelerating it then how do you have it?"
Silence.
"I... think I'm not going to like your answer..."
"From you of course." He was very serious which maked it very alarming.
"From me?" Processing..."...is it... what I think you are thinking..."
"Yes it is..."
My eyes have never been this wide in my life.
I am under the same pen name in AFF. Thanks for reading! This is flowing into my computer, don't know why. I have other chapters ready, so I will post soon.
