Chapter Two
Integra sat smoking a cigar; one of the few things that gave her pleasure and one of the things that would kill her. If that was the only thing that killed her, she could consider herself lucky. She frowned. She had been pouring herself over the mounds of paperwork from the report of the cleanup team. All the reports in the world only told her one thing, this was one brazen attack. "What in the hell were they thinking? They couldn't have gotten this stupid even if they were freaks, so what was there plan?"
Walter shook his head, hearing her question. "I'm afraid that I cannot fathom but perhaps Alu..." He paused. "Speaking of the vampire." Walter said as Alucard phased through the wall into Integra's office.
"Walter, I think I need a new gun... My .454 Castul is fine for killing trash like these maggot ghouls and freaks but I need a real gun; something that could really put up a fight against a real vampire."
Walter bowed respectfully and walked out of the room to look up something for Alucard to see what weapon should be used for him.
Alucard turned to the picture of Integra's father. "So it seems Sears has chosen to rejoin us as a true vampire and part of my family, this will become interesting very interesting indeed."
Integra sighed rubbing her forehead, "Great, we will now have two insane blood thirsty vampires running around."
Alucard smiled widely and said in a mocking voice, "Oh, Master. You wound me so and Seras as well. I'm sure. Bloodthirsty yes, but insane? Oh Master, you have much to learn."
Integra had had it, paperwork meetings this new mystery and now Alucard had pushed her over the edge.
She slammed the desk hard, making it rattle severely. "ALUCARD! I don't have time or the patience for your shit! I need you to look at something and tell me what you make of it. These vampires attacked a major public place, in direct view of many, many civilians! What the hell could it mean? It's far to brazen for any attack even if they are Freaks."
Alucard smiled. "Perhaps they were trying to make their presence known, and the rest of their kind's felt. If so our advertisement agency must be faltering. This may be just a single event or it may be a multi-event thing. If it is, we'll investigate it. If not, then it was a batch of vampires that were more stupid than normal. I'm off to see Seras. Have a good morning, master." Alucard tilted his broad brimmed hat at Integra and walked through a wall. He appeared in his room and saw the curled up Seras. "Sleep well, Seras Victoria. For tomorrow night, your true un-life begins." He smiled, lying own beside her and closing the lid he wrapped his hands around her waist and fell asleep.
Seras moved a little bit, feeling his arms wrap around her. She smiled and opened her eyes, looking upon him as he slept. He had seemed so different from before, from when he had changed her. She smiled and inched closer to him, wrapping her arms around him and laying her head on his chest. She was a bit nervous of how he would react, but she just wanted to hold him… She wanted him to hold her. She smiled slightly and rubbed her cheek against him.
She lay awake, worrying about what would happen when she stepped from this room. She never wanted to leave this place; she never wanted to leave this moment. She had felt something when he touched her, each and every time. And until now, she never knew what that feeling was. She never really listened. Had she fallen for him? She didn't even know, but she did feel something. It was there… She could feel it. But, she didn't know a one word to explain it.
She loved the warmth of his body against hers. How his arms wrapped around her, and his hands lay on the small area of her back. She loved his scent, flowing to her as she lay next to him, calling out to her. Her eyes were brought back to him. It was like she could never look away, not for long. He was an itch, waiting to be scratched. Her smile widened. For once, since her father had died, she was at Peace; she felt something other than sorrow and self-loathing. She felt something that words would not even begin to explain, something that was different; unique. She sighed and rubbed her cheek against him once more, before closing her eyes.
Alucard felt Seras waking up slightly and nearing him, even in the confines of the coffin. "I am glad you are happy, Seras Victoria. Time cannot be made to stand still, that is beyond my power unfortunately. So sleep well, and don't worry about Integra. You are a true vampire now, for today that is all that matters. As for the rest, we will deal with it in the evening. I think, the feeling you feel is joy. I believe that together, we will have many joyful times; killing the undead freaks and having true battles against the best of the best. But for today, there is nothing but what you wish." Alucard smiled and tightened his grip on her, as she wanted. The link between Master and fledgling may have faded but he could still read her mind through a shadow of the link.
Seras smiled, and relaxed hearing his words echo through her head. "Goodnight, Alucard…"
A group of vampires gathered in an underground shelter. Many voices were racing through the air, many angry and worried. "That Alucard is nothing but a pest! So is his little pet, Sarah or whatever her goddamn name is! They all are! Pests, pests I tell you!"
A vampire rose, throwing his hands out to silence the horde of vampires. "Silence… Damien made enough trouble for one night. I just hope they know nothing of the plans. Sir Integral is one of the smartest people in London," he grinned. "But, I am smarter." He laughed maniacally, throwing his head back.
A female vampire approached him, blood dripping from her lips. "Viktor…? I am sure Alucard has not killed his little pet, which was the plan… Was it not?"
Viktor smiled and looked to her. "I knew Alucard wasn't that stupid, my dear. Though, Integral might be." He laughed, again walking through the crowd as the made a path for him. "Once we kill off enough of those Hellsing pricks, they won't have anyone left… No one will be there, to protect dear old' Integra. And when she is there, alone… We attack the mansion. We kill that bitch, and anyone who stands in our way. And that, my children, will take care of the Hellsing Organization, the Organization of Pests. Understand?" Viktor watched as smiles flew over their pale faces. "Good. I am thankful for the sacrifices that Damien and his group have gave… And I will be grateful, for all of you who might have to do the same. But…" He paused. "It's worth being able to live without fear of death by… the hand… of Alucard!"
The horde of vampires hissed and clawed at the air as he spoke of his name. Viktor turned. "Once we have killed Integra, you can kill the girl. But leave Alucard, to me..." The vampires rushed out, jumping and licking their teeth with their dry tongues. It would only be a few hours 'til Sun Set, and they would have to formulate another event.
Viktor laughed, seeing Alucard's face as he walked in to see the limbs of Integra on her desk and her head being used as a basketball. How he would love to see that, how he would love to see them all in pain. Maybe, if everything went right. He would get his wish.
The vampires gathered together, discussing amongst themselves. They knew that most of them were going to die, but it was for Viktor... For their king. It would all be worth it.
Alucard awoke some hours later, he knew what would have to come to day, both good and the bad, he rose, phasing through the coffin hoping not to awaken Sears he stepped fully from the coffin and sat down at the table waiting for Sears awake.
Seras shifted slightly, laying her head on her pale, cold arms. She groaned and slowly opened her eyes, feeling that Alucard was no longer next to her. She looked over the darkness of the closed coffin and sighed, Alucard wasn't even in it any longer. She pressed the button and it slowly rose.
She was still in her clothes from the night before, which was ripped and blood-ridden, mostly in the torso area exposing some of her pale skin. She pulled her knees to her chest, letting her arms lay on top of her knees.
As the coffin top rose, she could see Alucard sitting over by a table that was across from the coffin. She smiled slightly, and looked into his eyes; the eyes she dreamt about most of the day. She sighed and let her fingers run through her bloodied hair as it fell into her eyes. "What now?"
Alucard smiled slightly. "Now we begin. We have a few things to discuss before we speak with Integra. As you are now a true vampire, your thirst and need for blood will increase greatly for a time, and you will desire the blood from humans rather then from these pathetic bags. You must control yourself and not take the blood of the Hellsing operatives. For you will be severely punished for doing this willingly. Your human side will no longer hold you back, however some lingering mortal emotions may still remain. I will take you with me on hunts for several nights after our missions. Do you understand?" He wondered what she would do, what she would say, and how she would react. "You must answer to Integra for your actions. You will not be treated harshly, I feel. So do you have any questions?"
Seras nodded and closed her eyes. "I understand…" She sighed and opened her eyes. "I… I didn't mean to, I didn't want to hurt Captain Phillips. And I am sorry, that they all died… Again. It seems as though, I am nothing but a nagging pest to Integra." She looked up. "I hope she understands, and I hope that she will forgive me." She looked into his eyes. "With this new… Transformation," she paused. "I will hopefully not be such a disappointment to her. I know I already am, but hopefully that will change soon…" She pushed herself from the bed and stood in front of Alucard, her bloodied hands at her sides. She took a deep breath, and smiled slightly. "I understand completely, Ma-…" Her smile widened. "Alucard…" She gave a nervous laughed and started for the door.
Alucard smiled. "You may call me Alucard now. You have earned that right, and now you will become not only, no longer a weak person but as strong as I. You are of my blood, Seras Victoria, it could be nothing other." He stood and began to walk out of his door, phasing through it. Hopefully she would do the same, "If you have no more questions, Seras, follow me." He walked up the stairs and through Integra's door. "Master, I present Lady Sears Victoria You requested her presence here she is."
Integra looked up to Seras and Alucard. Alucard had a smirk on his face; Seras however had a worried expression. "Seras Victoria, step forward and humbly receive your reprimand." Sears doubtfully stepped forward. "You have been charged with the death of a member of the Hellsing house, what say you?"
Seras took a deep breath, laying her head on her chest. She put her arms across her chest and closed her eyes. "I accept the punishment, Sir Integra." She looked up into her eyes. "I just hope you understand, I did not do it, willingly. I was forced and I was weak, because of my own stupidity. I know I am a disappointment, and I do not mean to disgrace you, nor this house. I will accept any punishment, anything you give me." She took a breath, and looked back down. "I deserve it, Sir."
Integra stood and walked around her desk. She approached Seras and looked her in the eyes. "You accept this punishment with honor? Then, you do honor to this house. I will take this in to consideration. You give defense to your crime and as it is your first offense and it was not your choice. I am sentencing you to 3 weeks of suspended service, a discommendation placed on your record and training with Alucard until he feels you are ready or the three weeks end. Either way, you will not be allowed off base and restricted to your quarters except for Alucard's training sessions. In the name of her Majesty, May you do honor to your Queen and country... Dismissed!" She harshly turned her back on Seras. As she would not speak with her again until her punishment was lifted.
Alucard turned away, and walked through the door knowing Seras would follow. "When you again join battle you will be ready, for that I promise." He smiled insanely and opened a portal, gesturing to Seras to step through he followed her and the portal closed behind him. "Are you ready Seras?"
Seras looked up from the ground and to Alucard. "Yes… I am ready." She gave a weak smile. "I am…" She sighed heavily, and clenched her fists, waiting for the training to begin.
Alucard smiled , "Then lets begin you wont need any of those human weapons for these lessons first i will play a game, folow the leader" Alucard smiled opening a portal infront of him he dove through it and it closed immediately behind him. he stood upon the tallest building in the city and smiled wondering what her actions would be.
Seras looked to Alucard as he jumped through and side, throwing some of her hair from her red eyes. Her face hardened and she focused, her pupils slowly becoming smaller and smaller. She smiled, seeing a portal open. It was hard, but she was doing it. She jumped through it, and landed on her knees in front of Alucard. She let out a breath, "Oh... My..." She said, standing up.
She looked to Alucard and chuckled, "that was.. interesting."
Alucard didnt hesitate he jumped through another portal knowing it would be esier the next time but he teleported farther away much farther and a place that couldnt be seen. he sat in the resturants darkened corner the perfect place for their next lesson he was taking great pleasure at givving his lessons to a now willing vampire, this was a pure delight and he wanted for it to last forever, "tick tock Sears"
Seras smirked, and lowered her head, closing her eyes and jumping into the portal she had opened. She looked around her, seeing many humans about, hearing many heartbeats echoing through her head, driving her a little mad. She took a deep breath, and opened her eyes. Her eyes scanned over the faces, as she stepped from the dark left corner of the room.
The carpet was red, and there were many waiters carrying plates of food and drinks. She sighed, seeing many of the humans happy and joyful. They knew nothing of the dangers they put themselves into at night, and they never would... Well, most of them wouldn't anyway. She chuckled to herself and looked across the room. She sensed Alucard was there... But why had he lead her here?...Of all places?
What are we here for? She sent to him, hoping he would answer her, with a response she would understand,.
alucard watched her look around the room somewhat drawn by the humans as she looked around she spoke with him telepathicly he answered in kind, Sit down Sears, enjoy yourself, take it in. These humans know not what you are or i. Here we may practice many lessons.and when we are done we may folow our pick out of the resturaunt and have the meal your tursting for. he watched her sit down uneasily, still more at ease than before, "Shall we sit here for a while or order some whine? Or would you like to begin your lessons now?"
She laughed a little bit, laying her hands on the table her red eyes scanning over the humans. Many of them loud and obnoxious, telling ridiculous stories that most of what they have fabricated. She sighed and looked back to Alucard, "doesn't matter to me, Alucard." She eyed one of the waiters, his attitude just made her want to rip out his throat, right then, right there. She sighed, letting him pass by her chair. He was walking like there was something up his ass, or maybe he had always been that way. She laughed, and looked back to Alucard. "Some of these people," she sighed. "Don't deserve all they have..." She closed her eyes, and cracked her neck. "Wine, would be great." She smiled.
Alucard nodded, "now you see the foleshness of these humans, we will have a lesson and whine at the same time." he motioned to a server, "2 bottles of red whine, some 34 mirlow should do nicely." the man nodded and left swiftly returning with a bottle and two glasses, "that will be 250.99, Sir." Alucard smiled slightly revealing no fang he focoused his eyes into the mans, "that will be all." the server turned around and left, "that is basic mindcontrol. go ahead try it."
"Foolishness and Selfishness are what these humans feed off of, what they live for. For themselves.. They wouldn't care a rats ass, if any of the people in here flopped over and died right in front of them... They wouldn't even help them." She looked back to the waiter, seeing him still with the attitude. She smirked, showing her small pointed fangs, which glistened in the artificail light. "They wouldn't care one.. bit..." She licked her lips as she watched the waiter punch himself in the face and throw his head to the counter, breaking his own nose. The people around him thought he had gone completely mad. "They love seeing others in pain.. They love seeing others suffer... That, is the reason they have not looked away from that idiot over there... beating himself silly." She chuckled, taking a sip of her wine as he knocked himself out, running into the restuarant doors.
Alucard smiled at what he saw her first attempt at mind controll and it was going well, the mans broken nose threw the sent of blood in the air. "Nice job Sears nice job indeed, youve also shown great restraint in your actions, do you think its time to go?" he raised his eyebrow questioningly.
She smiled, looking away from the idiotic waiter and laughed. She scanned over each other humans, looking into their eyes. "Thank you, Alucard." She said, calmly downing the rest of the wine and standing up, her hands at her side. "I believe it is, Alucard." She bowed her head, and then looked into his eyes, a small grin spreading across her cheeks.
