Seras opened her red eyes, staring at the white ceiling above her. She sighed and stretched a little bit. She turned to her side, trying to sleep at least a little bit. But the dreams haunted her, haunting her each minute of every day. The images flying past her eyes, making her lick her lips. She clenched her fists, her hand cupping her slim stomach as she lay on her bed in the darkness of the shadowed room.
She closed her eyes, hoping that the images wouldn't come back. But they always did. She stirred slightly, and lay still, letting the dream world overcome her consciousness.
Blood was lining the streets, dripping down through the gutters making the streets seem like rivers and streams of blood. She looked to the dark skies, seeing the moon shed her dim light upon the area. She gasped, seeing hundreds of bodies lying upon the ground around her, puddles of blood underneath of them. She walked past them, having to step over a few. Some of them were children, innocence caught in something they should have never seen, or even been involved with.
Decapitated heads seemed to roll down the sidewalks as laughter flew to Seras' ears. She jumped, and scanned over the bodies, not seeing a single one move. Where was the laughter coming from? Who had done all of this? Her eyes were burning with tears as she wrapped her arms around her and held herself, trying not to break down and cry. Seeing all of this was more than she could handle, she fought back the urge to scream out.
The laughter continued and got louder as she approached a church building. It was like the one from before… From when she had first encountered Alucard. She gulped loudly, and reached for her guns. She checked the chamber for bullets, and snapped it back. She clenched her fists around the gun and held it tightly, entering the doorway of the Holy Church. There, right before the cross, she saw someone feeding upon another child. She was screaming for her mother, tears rushing down her cheeks.
"Mommy! Mommy! Mo-omm.." Her voice was cut off by the swift wings of death. The figure dropped the lifeless child and raised their head, a line of blood trickling down their chin.
Seras raised her gun towards the figure and was about to pull the trigger when she saw the figures face: hers.
Seras jumped up, screaming. Sweat was pouring down her chest and back, making her clothes and hair cling to her. She took a deep breath and put her hand to her throbbing head. Why couldn't those dreams just go away? Why couldn't they just leave her?
She sighed heavily and threw the sheets off of her. She grabbed her skirt and slipped it on. She grabbed her jacket and buttoned it up before racing out of her room. The halls were quiet, and empty as usual. The red floor silenced the bottom of her boots hitting the floor. She clenched her fists, still seeing the images fly in her head, making the white gloves on her hands tighten. She cracked her neck, rubbing it slightly and entered Integral's office.
She lowered her head, approaching Integral's desk and put her hands by her side. "Sir…" She said. "I am here, I was told to come see you at nightfall… I apologize, for being a bit early. But, I cannot sleep that well."
Integra had been, as always, doing paperwork. It had seemed more and more these days that her life was filled with it, meetings with self-involved jackasses. Integra looked up to see Seras. "I see. Well then, the situation is that a group of vampires have invaded a small concert hall where a famous artist was playing, or was going to be playing. Thankfully, the invasion occurred before the man arrived. However, many of the people to support the concert were already there. We have the situation contained, for now. You will proceed with Hellsing's primary detachment number 1 to the concert hall. There you will attain command of the operation. You will then proceed to eliminate all the undead and ghouls. May her Majesty be with you. Dismissed." She watched Seras depart and left, herself, through a second door.
Integra walked down into the firing range, where the new Captain most likely was training his soldiers. She entered finding eight men practicing, one of the men saw Integra, "Attention on deck!"
Integra nodded and said, "As you were. Captain Phillips, a word please." She turned around and walked out of the noisy firing range. "Captain Phillips, I have a mission. Your unit will proceed to the loading bay and proceed under the direction of Officer Seras Victoria."
The officer shifted uncomfortably. "Sir Integra, I don't think my men or I require the aid of the undead scum you have in order to carry out our mission. You may have your reasons and I respect that, Sir. However, I am in command of my unit and I decide whose in it, sir."
Integra frowned, ready to unleash a severe reprimand. "Humbly accept your mission and may God and Her Majesty be with you." Integra stepped towards him. "Philips, Seras isn't scum. She fights her kind with honor and dignity, which makes her part of the Hellsing family! You will never disrespect her like that again. Understood?"
Philips nodded and saluted sharply, "yes, Ma'am!" He turned sharply and hit a button, "Unit 1: loading bay in five!" He walked out with a huff.
Integra sighed and walked into the now empty firing room. She grabbed a baretta 93R and a clip, as she began target practice.
Seras went into the infirmary and grabbed her guns, the Colt .45. She smiled and threw a clip of silver bullets into it, before holstering them both and grabbing some extra clips of ammo. She smiled, grabbing a few hollow point clips. She cracked her neck and made her way to the Loading Bay. She passed Integral, shooting the hell out of some targets. Seras was glad that she wasn't behind her gun barrel. "I will not let you down, Sir." She smiled to her, before making her way over to the troops.
She looked them over and came to Captain Phillips, an angry smirk on his face. She sighed, knowing that none of them wanted to take orders from her. And she knew it when a troop spit in her face as she approached him. She put her hand to her face, and wiped it from her, looking into his eyes.
"We'll never take orders from a vampire bitch-freak like you!" He yelled, and the others, including the Captain agreed, silently nodding their heads. She took a step towards the soldier, pressing her body against his.
"How… dare you…?" She yelled in his face. "I am your Captain now! Would you treat Phillips like this, would you?" The troops stayed silent. "I thought not. You will respect me, and you will follow my orders! I don't care if you think I am a bitch vampire-freak. I don't care what you think… I care about the lives of the citizens of this country. And I, frankly, wouldn't give a damn if you didn't come back. Understand? Good. Now…" She paused. "GET INTO THAT GODDAMN TRUCK!" She yelled, pointing towards the truck waiting for their boarding.
The soldier she was standing in front of and howling down his throat, backed up and grabbed his bag beside his feet, sucking on his teeth. He looked into her eyes and growled. "Yes, Sir!" They all yelled, grabbing their bags and jumping in the back of the Military truck. She went over to the passenger side and ripped the door open, and slammed it shut as she looked to the driver. "Drive." She told him.
The driver nodded and shifted the truck into gear, and they went on their way with a few rough jerks. Seras sighed heavily, trying to suppress her anger. She laid her arm on the windowsill of the door, and watched the darkened landscape pass by her red-orbed eyes.
"It's not to far from the mansion." The driver told her.
Seras looked to him, her hand holding up her head. "Good, then. Get there."
"Yes, Ma'am." He said, making the truck go a little bit faster.
Seras gripped her guns tighter and tighter as they approached the Concert Hall. The truck stopped right in front of it, and the driver looked to Seras. "We are here, Captain." He smiled. "Here is the communicator. Be safe, alright?"
Alucard grinned maniacally as he shot three ghouls with his .454 Casul Custom. He had been sent out by Integra to do some cleaning. Another three ghouls fell to dust. He moved on into the heart of the swarm and he saw the vampire inside the building. As he moved he was attacked by yet, more ghouls. "This is getting boring. So how long are you going to hide you pathetic maggot?"
This apparently got the vampires attention as he leapt out the window of the building at Alucard. "You dare call me a maggot! Who the hell are...?" He was silenced by the bullet that sliced through him, making his body ash away and fall to the ground below. "All too easy," Alucard laughed and walked off to see what Police girl was doing.
Seras took the communicator and hooked it to her belt. She smiled back to him, opening the door and letting her feet slide out. "Alright, thank you." She jumped from the passenger seat, and slammed the door shut, seeing the troops already rushing out of the back of the truck. She approached them once more, and looked into each of their eyes. She sighed and ripped out both of her handguns. "Be careful, alright?" She said to them, before walking closer to the bloody hand-printed door.
She kicked the door open, looking into the darkness of the concert hall. She looked to the troops behind her and smirked, motioning for them to come also. She pointed her guns towards the shadows, hearing nothing but silence. Where were all of them?
"Stay on alert… They may still be here." She told them, putting her hands on the gun tightly.
The troops said nothing but smiled, watching her go deeper into the darkness. Soldier Marcus, the one who had spit on her, stepped behind her and kicked her to the floor. "Like I said, we don't take orders from a bitch like you!" He said, pulling out his gun and pointing it towards her chest. But before he could pull the trigger the door behind them was slammed shut, leaving them in a pit of darkness.
Seras growled and kicked Marcus to the floor, sliding his guns away from him. She was happy that she was the only one out of the group that could see in the dark, kind of… Her vision was distorted, she now understood what Alucard had meant. Weakness for not feeding…
She looked around and tripped over something. She looked down, seeing that it was a body. "Oh My God." She yelled, reaching over to feel their pulse. She growled feeling the blood trickle between her fingers. She pushed herself up as the lights started to flicker on and off; she looked across the floor seeing many bodies. She looked to the troops, "stay on alert! Don't let them get yo-!" She was cut off, feeling pain race through her body. She was thrown to one of the walls dropping her guns as a blade raced through her shoulder. She screamed in pain, feeling the blade go straight through the wall behind her, pinning her.
She looked over to the troops, for the lights remained on. A group of vampires jumped from the ceiling and pounced on the troops. She groaned in pain, watching the guns in their hands flash as bullets ripped through only some of the vampires, and the others reached for them, thrusting their lips into their throats. She winced and closed her eyes, trying not to see it but the scent of the blood made her open her eyes.
The lead vampire, Damien, looked into her red eyes as he threw his lips to one of the soldier's neck. The soldier was struggling, only making the pain of the bite worse. Blood trickled down his neck, seeping to Damien's tongue, down his throat. He dropped the bloodless soldier and his eyes scanned over the others. He pointed towards Captain Phillips and laughed. "Save him…" He smirked. "For her!" He laughed, ripping into another soldier close by.
Seras closed her eyes, tears rushing down her cheeks. Her red eyes were dilated; the scent of blood was getting to her. She put her hand to the katana and tried to rip it out, only causing her more pain. She was breathing heavily and she let her head hang from her shoulders, the tears hitting the ground beneath her with a small splash. She could hear each heartbeat echo through her head, making her want it more and more. The taste, the feeling… The urges. She tried to force it from her head, from her thoughts but with the constant nagging scent driving her mad, it made it worse. The heartbeats were fading, one by one, faster and faster. But the urges were getting worse, hearing less and less.
She grabbed for the communicator. "Integral! Sir! Please? Does anyone hear me?" She hit her head against the wall behind her. "No…" She told herself. "No… No!" She screamed and all went silent, except for one last heartbeat.
She tried to move, get the blade from her shoulder once again, but nothing worked. She opened her eyes to see Damien walking up to her, dragging the unconscious Captain Phillips behind him.
She reached for her communicator and tried to get it to work. "Alucard… Sir! Integral! Help me…" Desperation was present in her voice as he neared. Fear, desperation, and the bloodlust. "Please! Help me…" She was breathing heavily, "God, please help me!" She yelled into it, as Damien grabbed for it and threw it against the wall making it shatter on contact.
Damien grabbed the blade and ripped it out Seras' shoulder, making her wrench in pain. She screamed, putting her hand to the wound, seeing her blood drip through her pale, shaking fingers.
"Feed, damnit!" Damien yelled, putting the already bloody blade to the Captain's throat, and driving it into the soft flesh.
Phillip's eyes widened, for he could no longer breath. He could feel the blood trickle down him to the floor as he looked to Seras.
"Feed!" Damien yelled again, throwing the Captain to the corner. Seras looked to his eyes, she could barely keep herself away from the Captain. "He's going to die, anyway! Now, feed!" He laughed, tearing her from the floor and throwing her next to the Captain.
Seras kneeled by him, placing her shaking fingers on his throat trying to stop the bleeding. He gargled as his eyes started to go back into his head. Seras sobbed and breathed heavier. She couldn't take it anymore, not the pain of fighting this loosing battle. She had to feed, now. She threw her lips to his already bloody throat and closed her eyes. She put her hands on the back of his head, and drank as quickly as possible, quenching her thirst. She could hear his heartbeat in her head, it was getting slower and slower with each sip she took. She tried to fight it back, but she was a slave to her own self. Her body was shaking, and she continued to drink from him, laying her body next to his with each lick she gave.
The blood dripped down her throat, giving her a pleasure she couldn't explain with words. Her body was shaking; she needed more and more, more and more. It gave her a pleasure, seeing the pathetic human dying by her hand. Her mind was screaming for her to stop, but she never did… It was just too powerful, too overwhelming. She continued feeding from him the shadow of the corner, while the other vampires laughed in a celebration for an undeniable success.
Alucard was about to leave the scene, when he was contacted by Seras. Her communicator had stopped working and he never carried one, but in times of great stress his fledgling was capable of telepathy. He instantly knew of what was going on and he opened a portal and emerged to see Seras draining the last bits of life from the new captain. Alucard grinned insanely as a low laugh escaped him at first, then it pitched to an insane level. He pulled his jackal on the vampires only now aware of his presence. Shooting all but the master vampire of the group, he turned to watch Seras drain the last of the blood from the man.
"Sears Victoria." Hearing his voice, Seras stood and ran, believing he would probably destroy her for what she has done. Alucard laughed again, turning to the final vampire, who was standing in shock. He smiled.
"She is truly one of us now, yes?" Alucard shot the vampire not bothering to hear his answer. He started walking in the direction Seras had fled. He finally reached a door where she had exited, "you cannot run forever, Police girl!" Alucard turned around preparing to leave as it was almost sunrise and she was not worth the pain it would cause him. After all, she deserved to have time to enjoy her victory.
Integra had left the firing range as Walter had called her to her office. As she entered, Walter approached her slightly bowed; this always meant she wouldn't like the news. "Sir Integra... I am afraid that we have lost contact with Seras' unit." Integra scowled. Had she failed her again?
"More than that Master, she was the one to take the life of the Captain." Alucard said as he stepped through the wall.
"Alucard, what in the hell are you doing here? How do you know this?"
Alucard grinned showing his long white fangs, "Because Master, I saw it with my own two eyes. Seras alerted me to the situation telepathically, though she didn't know it. Her communicator was broken. To her credit or discredit, she resisted very well. I saw at least one large wound made by a curved blade. There may have been more and she still wouldn't drink. Both you, and the Police girl are most incomprehensible. Even when thrown into range of the man, she wouldn't drink. It was only when his throat was slit slightly that she drank. I'm surprised that didn't happen earlier." He laughed remembering the pleasure on her face.
Integra, however, was not happy, "Alucard! How dare you make jokes about the death of are first action team!" Alucard merely continued grinning, waiting for her to answer her own question.
However to his vast disappointment, she continued sitting down and lighting a cigar. "So what should we do with her Alucard?" She said, interlacing her hands just below her face.
"You have reminded me many times, Master, that I do not make decisions." He bowed taunting her.
Integra scowled, "I wasn't asking you for your decision, I asked for your opinion. I, frankly, could kill her and get it over with. She's been nothing but a hindrance to us since you turned her, Alucard! However, if you have a better idea then I will be more than happy to listen."
Alucard stopped and gave a scowl of his own, "you will not kill her, Master. I will serve you always except for that one point. She will not die by your hand or mine unless I deem it necessary. However, I could merely deal with it on my own. I will bring her back unless, you have a better idea?"
Integra nodded, "Alright, Alucard. I suppose that since she's your fledgling, I'll let you deal with her. However she must be brought back or killed, that is not debatable."
Alucard bowed, "Yes Master." He phased back through the wall and made his way to his chambers, where that same bucket with yet another packet of that medical blood in it. How he longed to be free. As soon as Integra died, in say 60 or 70 years, he would break the seals and finally have a true meal.
Integra sat at her desk with her paperwork. Now that Alucard was gone, she allowed her demeanor to falter. She allowed herself this rarely and only when no one was around. She slammed the desk hard, "God damn it Seras! You killed one of my men, and disgraced this house, and for that you will pay the price!"
Seras ran as fast as she possibly could, hearing Alucard's voice in the distance. Tears ran down her cheeks as blood trickled down her chin… Just like her dream. She looked to the sky, seeing the Sun slowly rise. She stopped, right in front of a store and stared at the sky. Maybe she should of let the Sun destroy her, maybe it would all be better. Maybe, if Alucard had just let her die none of this would of happened. None of it!
She stood where she knew the sunlight would reach and clenched her fists, awaiting for the pain to begin. "I'm sorry…" She whispered, putting her palms to her cheeks. "I'm sorry…" She said again, feeling the heat burn her skin. She screamed in pain, she thought she could take it, but couldn't.
She jumped from the sunlight, and ducked into a darkened alleyway, where the bums of the city rested and lay during the night. She held herself tightly, her arms wrapped around her chest. She sobbed silently, throwing her back against the brick wall.
Her wound was slowly healing, leaving nothing but the bare skin behind the ripped bloody clothing. She could still taste the blood on her tongue, and it scared her. She tried not to think about it, she fought with all she had. She wouldn't let it win again, she wouldn't. She closed her eyes, letting the tears slowly fall down as she gave a shaky breath. She pulled her legs to her chest and laid her arms and her head on her knees. Her white gloves were covered with blood, her own and the Captain's.
Why? Why did this have to happen? Couldn't she of just passed out? Couldn't she of waited, just waited a little longer for Alucard to arrive? She wanted to die, to let the Sun engulf her in flames. But she was too much of a coward to take the pain.
She raised her head from her knees, and looked out to the human world, remembering when she was once a part of it, and wanting to be a part of it once more. She was already dead to the world, would it matter really if she was burnt to ash…? Would it really matter, would anyone even care? Sorrow raced down her cheeks, for she knew the answer to the question.
"I'm sorry…" She said, again, rocking back and forth holding her legs tight to her body. She grabbed a small dirty blanket and wrapped herself in it, making sure none of the light reached her. She would let Alucard kill her, tonight. He had made her, and he had to kill her. She was sure that Integral wouldn't want her returning to Hellsing, especially after this betrayal. She had already disappointed her enough, and she never wanted to look into her eyes again. Her burning eyes of hatred were stuck in her head now, piercing her heart.
"Forgive me… Please…?" She looked to the sky, the bright blue and the white fluffy clouds. "Forgive me!" She called out, hoping the God that she once worshipped heard her. Hoping that for once, he would let her have what she wanted: death. Hoping that for once, maybe… Just maybe, she would not disappoint Integral with her death.
She curled up, and let her head hang from her shoulders. She closed her eyes and awaited for nightfall, waiting for Alucard… Waiting her end.
Alucard woke hours later and began to get ready for what would come. It would be very interesting to see her reactions. He felt that had already tried to kill herself but he forced her to jump out of the way of the killing sun.
Integra was already sitting at her desk taking care of yet more paperwork, filling out the reports for the deaths of the men under her command. She knew sun had just set. "You better take care of this, Alucard."
He grinned and walked through the portal arriving just in front of Seras. "So Police girl, you've finally taken blood. I'm surprised you resisted this long, so how does it feel? Was it wonderful, was it incredible beyond words, do you want to feel it again? " As he spoke his grin became greater and greater.
Seras opened her eyes and looked to Alucard, standing in front of her. Tears were still running down her cheeks as she pulled herself from the ground, letting her hands fall to her side, her head hanging low. "No…." She said, looking up and staring into his eyes. "No…" She said again, putting her arms to her ears, forcing his words out of her head.
She backed away from him, staring at his maniacal grin with fearing eyes. She felt like a caged animal, no where to escape and no way she could get away from him without bursting into ash first. She knew that for a fact. She turned and looked to the sidewalks, lit with dim streetlights lining the roads. She looked to see if there were any humans around, and thank god there wasn't. She looked back to Alucard, her mind screaming for her to escape, to get away. It was only instinct, she knew what Alucard was going to do, or did she?
She slid from the alleyway, taking small steps backwards looking only into his eyes. Her body wrenched with fear, her hands were shaking and her knees were about to buckle underneath of her. The moon was calling to her, whispering in the warm breeze. She gulped loudly and let out a shaky breath.
She looked around her once again, clenching her fists. She started to run, still looking at Alucard turning back. Her eyes scanned the street ahead of her as she ran faster and faster, the world rushing past her at a quickened pace. Her orange hair was rippling behind her, as she dodged some cars speeding through the streets of London.
She jumped to the rooftops and looked down upon the world, once again wishing to be a part of it once more. But she knew it would never happen. She turned and started to jump over the rooftops, not knowing where she was going. But she knew that she had to get away from Alucard, from everything; from everyone.
The song of heartbeats flooded her ears, some fast and rapid, some at a normal rhythm. She jumped across the street and barely landed on the roof, throwing herself from the edge. She lay on her back, looking up to the sky at the stars staring back down upon her. Why was she running? Isn't that what she wanted? Death? Wasn't that what she needed, what she desired for most? For the first time, she wished she had her guns… So she could put the barrel of the gun to her temple, and blow out her brains herself.
Alucard smiled again as he disappeared into yet another portal. He appeared again in front of Seras. "You run because you don't truly wish to die. That's why you jumped out of the way of the Sun, that's why you ran from me, you don't want to die. I know what you want! I can read your mind and I know what you want; what courses through your mind and begs you to give in! The thirst always wins and I will help you accept your true self."
He grabbed her with both hands and leapt from the roof down onto the alley. There were three people there; two robbing the third. "See how pathetic the human race is? They attack each other; they kill each other for no real reason. They deserve to die. Take what your body screams for, become what you were meant to be!" He shoved her towards the startled humans.
Seras begged him with her eyes, not to make her. She didn't want to let it win, she didn't want to kill any of them. Tears ran down her cheeks as she stepped towards the three men. The two threw the other to the ground and started to kick him, yelling "give me your goddamn money!"
Seras growled, letting her pink fangs glisten. She looked towards the two as they stared at her with wide, fearing eyes. She took another step towards them, her instincts kicking in. She was like a beast on the prowl, ready to kill, wanting to kill. One drew a shotgun, and shot her in the chest, but this didn't stop her. She charged for him, placing one of her hands on his shoulder, and the other grabbing onto his hair. Not knowing her own strength, she ripped his head straight off, letting the other see his spinal column as she continued to feed from the twitching corpse. She forced her tongue to fall over his collarbone, her fangs crunching into his chest. His screams were quickly drawn back as his eyes fell into his head like ping pong balls. She laughed and dropped the one, watching their victim scream and run away from the alleyway. He wasn't going to be her second, or third meal.
She stepped toward the other one, who was struggling to reload his gun. She smirked and threw her leg, kicking it from his grasp. He looked into her raging eyes falling to his knees and putting his hands together. "Please, Please? I beg you, don't kill me!" He begged, but this only angered her.
She threw him to his feet and threw her lips to his throat. His eyes went wide as his body quickly fell to the floor, her still attached. As she fed, she threw her hands through his chest, grabbing onto his still beating heart and ripping it out as she stood over the body with its chest cavity ripped to shreds.
She squeezed the heart as hard as she possibly could, letting the mush float through her fingers. She opened her bloody palm and let it fall to the wet, placid alleyway floor. Her eyes softened as did her facial features. She turned and looked to Alucard, dropping to her knees. "Why?" She asked. "Why did you…? Why?" Tears burned the lining of her eyes as she closed them slowly.
She enjoyed the taste on her tongue, and that scared her. She didn't want to be like the others, she didn't want to be evil… She didn't want to kill for the pleasure of it. She didn't want to be a monster; she didn't want to be a killer.
Her elbows were shaking, her arms the only thing holding her up. "Why?" She said, closing her eyes. She paused. "What are you going to do, Alucard? I am danger… I have fed from humans that have done nothing against me. I have killed. What are you going to do? Take me back…? I am sure Sir Integral doesn't like the idea of that, very much. I would rather have you kill me…, than have her do it herself."
Alucard's smile left him. He was now angry. Why had this not worked? Why was she still resisting? He stood there, his brow knitted and he came to an answer. He would give her a choice; a choice she had to make but he would give her one last choice.
He kneeled down to her level, drawing his gun and rolling up his sleeve. "Seras Victoria, I give you one final choice. I do not wish to see you in pain. That is not why I made you a vampire. Drink my blood, Seras. Become a master of the night and the undead, and rid yourself of the guilt and fear that plagues you, and become true family. Or I will end it for you, either way I will end your suffering, and give you the release you desire." He watched her closely, waiting for her reaction.
Seras opened her eyes, and looked into his trying to see if what he was saying was the truth or not. Her eyes led to his wrist, the pale skin calling out for her to take it… To feed on it. She looked back into his eyes, and went a little closer to him and placed her cold hands on his wrists. She gulped loudly and looked to his wrist. It was still calling for her. She closed her eyes, and bent down, putting her lips to his veins. She dug her fangs into them and felt the blood fly to her tongue, down her throat. She gasped slightly, taking her lips away from his wrist slightly and licking her lips.
She gripped his arm tightly and bit into it once again, deeper and harder than before. Her body started to tingle, the pain; the guilt, subsiding into nothing but pure pleasure and desire. She drank from him quickly and rough, never wanting to let go, never wanting to stop. She threw her tongue through the torn veins and growled, releasing him and falling to the ground, her eyes barely open and the blood spinning from her, staining her pink lips.
Her body was aching, yet it felt so good. Throbbing in pain, yet beautiful. Her mind was confused, but so clear. She smiled slightly and looked up into Alucard's eyes. She didn't know what to say to him, nor what to do. She licked her lips and let her head fall, slowly closing her eyes. "…Alucard…" She whispered.
Alucard watched as his arm healed neatly, then turned his eyes to his now sleeping fledgling. "Welcome to my family, Seras Victoria." He smiled kindly, looking down upon her.
He picked her up and walked through the portal. They appeared in his chambers. He kindly laid her down on his bed as he sat down in the chair with a packet of blood smiling at her while he drank.
She turned to her side, curling up into a ball on the cool sheets of the bed. She wrapped her arms around her chest, and pulled her knees up. She groaned slightly, not having the nightmares that usually haunted her dreams, but calmer ones. No nightmares, no screaming. Just peace… She smiled, digging her head into the pillow. She seemed like a child, sleeping after a day of playful intrigue. She seemed so innocent, but her glistening pink fangs gave her away.
