-----------------
Seras uneasily stood there huddled within her coat as chills ran throughout her body. Zuranna and Alucard stood before her as they were all concealed in the thick forest that encase a over grown field. Seras watching them, shivered slightly. Even if it was cold, the shivering wasn't from that. Her red eyes uneasily scanned the area, this very place... it was silent with no sound of any animals and it made Seras feel very fearful. The field itself just didn't feel right, she could smell decaying flesh but couldn't see anything. Seras glanced uneasily over to Alucard as a deep chuckle rumbled from his chest. "What do you see?" Zuranna spoke in a hushed tone, her very energy was bleeding from her as she was so close to him, so close to her king and love. "The Vatican must have forgotten of their own barriers, their pathetic bodies are all around." He chuckled.
Zuranna sighing, eyed Alucard "alright then... you being the king of us all... take them out." She spoke. Seras with a weak sound leaving her lips, watched them. for this moment in time, they didn't seem like her former master, or her friend, but a king and queen of the very darkness. Falling back, Seras rested her back weakly onto a tree trunk as she watched them, she felt so out of place. Here they were, two royals of the darkness and she a mere... vampire who couldn't even fully understand her own powers. Seras jumped back to realty as a loud gun blast echoed all around. Looking forward, she saw Alucard with his arm extended and holding forth the Casull bore a wicked grin on his face. The air suddenly shifted and was filled with the stench of decay and death ten fold. Seras's eyed went wide as she pushing off of the tree trunk went beside Alucard. Bodies upon bodies, close to hundred were strewn about rotting away from what seemed near a good week from when death had claimed their souls.
But that wasn't what got their full attention. What laid past the dead corpses mixed in the old bones and old weapons, rested a bordered up half rotted black church with big wooden black crosses stuck in the ground surrounding the fairly large building. "What... is that..." Whispered Seras. "that... is where Donovan is sleeping in... oh goody..." Zuranna whispered as Seras bit her lip hard to silence her cry of fear. With low groans and sloshing noises, the corpses once laying there dead as ever, stumbled to life and on very wobbly feet, they all rose up with guns in hand. With eyes glowing a full red, the dead men watched the vampires, baring their teeth. "g... ghouls... no... wait..." Seras watched them with analyzing eyes, she had fought many ghouls when in Hellsing... and to her eyes these were not ghouls.
Alucard's dark chuckle made the young vampire look at him as he grinning eyed the undead men before them. "you're guess is semi correct, these are indeed ghouls, but not normal puppets... try and see what the difference is." Chuckled the man as Seras blinking, looked back out at the rising undead puppets. Narrowing her eyes, Seras uncurled the coil within once more. Reaching out for the ghouls with a bit of her power, Seras froze wishing she hadn't. the ghouls all freezing in place began to giving mangled screams as Seras paling had her eyes roll into the back of her head.
Zuranna and Alucard looked over as Seras giving a strangled cry suddenly collapsed onto the ground. Her eyes white and her form twitched as black sparks rippled over her form. "Oh shit... what just happened Alucard!" yelled Zuranna as the man turning, kneeled beside Seras's fallen form. Smirking he rested his gloved hand upon the center of her forehead. "Alucard... what is going on!" Zuranna cried as she looking up from Seras saw the ghouls stand there like statues. "she's gone into a ghouls memory..." he murmured making Zuranna snap her gaze down to himself and the fallen young woman. "well... bring her back!" she snapped loudly.
-------
Seras weakly stumbled on her feet as she peering around found herself in the field as it being night yet... "Alucard, Zuranna!" the vampire cried out yet got no response, did they abandon her! "Over here... this way..." Seras fall back within the trees as she saw near a hundred men draw from the trees into the field. Her eyes went wide as she realized they were the men who were ghouls a mere few seconds ago! The men gathering around and armed, looked uneasily around. "Why did that man send us to this place... this field is empty..." one of the men whispered. "this place is fucking scary... Ian!" the men turned around as one man suddenly collapsed onto the ground. Two men rushing to his side kneeled down hard and checked his vitals. "oh fuck... Ian... he's... dead..." all the men stood up and erect as the wind suddenly began to blast around.
Seras bit her lip hard causing it to bleed as she fell back watching the scene unfold. One by one with no real reason, the men began to drop like flies. Yelling, panic rose in the men's forms as they going back to back with each other, looked around with weapons raised. No matter what they tried, more kept dropping to the ground as dead as one could get. As the last man remained standing, his body visibly shoot had with white knuckled on his machine gun, his eyes were wide with terror. Both Seras and the man jumped and looked over to the right as there stood a tall shadowy figure "You... you trait-". With a strangled groan, the final human fell to the ground and as his life was beginning to fade the figure drew over. Seras froze as with the surroundings became hazy, the figure stuck out like a sore thumb.
His blazing eyes that were a golden yellow with a brilliant red ring around the edge of the irises bore down on the fallen bodies. With long tied back black hair and a hard but beautiful face. The rest of his form was covered in shadows but two things hung out. Resting upon his lower arms were two chrome silver crosses that shined in her eyes. As he stood there, everything blurred.
Seras's eyes flew open and taking ragged breaths sat up hard. With a loud smack of foreheads, Seras yelling fell back a bit rubbing her aching forehead. Clearing her vision the girl froze as Alucard having been kneeling over her form now bore a faint red mark on his forehead and a small crooked grin on his lips. "A... Alucard..." yet recalling the images, the man with crosses on his arms. The vampire tore her gaze from Alucard's and scanning found Zuranna's. "Z.. Zuranna, it's Donovan... these men were killed by... a man with silver crosses on his lower arms, yellow red eyes..." rasped the girl taking a small side note of the ghouls all in piles of grey goo nearby. Her mental touch to their minds had literally pulled them all apart.
Zuranna scanning Seras's eyes, sighed and rising tall eyed the church before them as Demon in her small sparrow form sat on her queen's left shoulder. "So... they even made a duplicate of Donovan." She murmured gaining Seras's confused look. "how would you know... it was a duplicate?" Seras's voice whispered. Zuranna smiling slightly, narrowed her gaze to the church "because... the crosses on his arms are a blood red and tell me Seras, did you see anything beneath his right eye?" the queen asked and without waiting for a response, the queen laughed "no... he didn't... Alucard, Seras... remain out here, I'm going in to awaken my king, and if that imposter returns, let me at him." And with that the queen began to head for the chapel.
Seras blinking groaned as she weakly tried to sit back up. Feeling a rough hand fall onto her back, Seras with startled eyes looked up locking eyes with Alucard as his own set was hidden behind his shades. With the dark grin always plastered on his face, the man narrowed his gaze to hers "have fun plowing the memories of a ghoul?" he chuckled. Seras blinking, she finally had, had it. With a loud cry leaving her lips, the girl threw herself into Alucard's chest. Her hands falling over his broad chest, gripped his black coat tightly and buried her face into his chest as the fear of it all just fell onto her shoulders. "what the hell is wrong with you?" hearing his dark voice rumbled through her very form, Seras sniffing went rigid realizing her actions a wee bit to late. "I... I am... afraid..." came her small voice... his dark laughter made the girl flinch. "You... afraid... of what?" he chuckled eyeing with malicious glee. Blinking, the girl peered at his chest with distant eyes.
Why was she so afraid! She had taken on the false Alucard, she wasn't afraid of her other self when she had witnessed Alucard kill her. She had faced many ghouls in the past when a mere fledgling. The girl's breath caught up in her undead lungs as it hit her hard and fast. And before she could stop herself... "I'm afraid... to lose-" swallowing the last word, Seras's face flushed and weakly tightened her grip on his black coat. Seras's comfort zone was beyond shattered as her body growing rigid felt Alucard's arms slip slowly onto her body gripping her back. Even though he held her, Seras flinched as the dark laughter ripped through his chest. "you fed off of me and became a true nosferatu, but you still bare a bit of that humanity... kill it, here and now Seras." his wicked voice purred into her blond mop of hair on top. "How.. do I do that?" whispered Seras as she drew her eyes shut. He chuckling bore his gaze onto the top of her head "open up your main familiar... do that, all humanity ceases to be and your powers will-" Seras's eyes flew open, she felt the hot liquid splash over her face as she heard the crushing of bones.
With his arms going limp, Seras peered forward as Alucard's body fell backwards crashing down hard onto the ground as his near entire upper right side of his body was savagely ripped from the rest of his form. As he laid there, he didn't move, he didn't get up as his eyes were shut. "Wha..." rising to her feet, Seras whipping around froze as she saw him standing there. With silver crosses on his hands and hard golden red eyes. The false Donovan. Seras seeing her former master behind her still having yet to regenerate, the girl recalled his words not so long ago 'open your main familiar... yeah but how?' her mind raced as she planting her feet looked at the man before them as he bore no smile, no look of emotion on his face. Seras blinking suddenly realized while Alucard's blood slid down her face from her lathered hair, he wasn't holding a weapon... then how did he shatter Alucard's side so badly!
"You best either run or prepare to die... your king won't get up." The monotone voice spoke, yet even though monotone Seras felt dread from this man... rising his right foot, the man slowly began to head for her. "Run now or die slowly... I have orders to take out the American king... no one will get in my way." He spoke. Seras has had it, Alucard was right, they all were... "No." came her low voice. The man rose a single eyebrow, "No... then... prepare to die." He spoke. Seras clenched her fists tightly as she drew the coil up once more, 'come on familiar... I need you now!' her mind screamed as her narrowed eyes were on the man before her with her teeth gritted. The coil inside her suddenly extended up and out shattering and falling all over her body, mind and soul becoming truly one with her. Seras's eyes flew wide as red flames suddenly began to lap over her body as her pupils retracted to tiny black dots. The familiar roared within like a untamed beast. Seras sighing felt and allowed the last remains of her humanity get ripped from her soul by the teeth of her very power.
Slowly the girl arching her shoulders back, hung her head concealing her eyes underneath her blood soaked blond hair. The man having stopped, watched her with neutral eyes, unafraid. She felt this as the darkness fully engulfed her, full dread and fear was lifted off of her soul, no longer were any of her emotions, feelings or thoughts human. Rising her head up, the bangs falling apart exposed her blazing red eyes as a wicked sneer rested upon her lips. "no... you're... dead..." as the words slipped past her lips, Seras rising her face to the sky, her body suddenly sloshed to the ground as a massive pool of thick blood. The man merely gave a small smile "I will silence the queen, and no petty vampire will stop..." The man watched as the blood suddenly began to retract and draw into a form. With blood absorbing into blonde fur... ears perked forward in the size of a medium sized canine, Seras stood tall and proud on all fours as a elegant short haired blonde feline. With eight eyes with the look to kill and the glee to go with, Seras flexing her claws narrowed her red eyes... and lunged.
-------
Zuranna felt the darkness outside and felt it grow. With a weak sigh Zuranna looked to her left shoulder meeting Demon's white eyes. "They need help if the duplicate Donovan is out there..." She spoke, Demon sighing nodded "I won't be of much use." She spoke as she fluttering her wings lifted off of Zuranna's shoulder as the queen smiled. "you can at least be a distraction... but by the way it feels, Seras finally absorbed her powers... so please... go..." Zuranna whispered as her wide eyes rested upon the statue form of her king. Demon chittering nodded "as you so wish, my queen..." and with that spoken, the spectral servant flew out of there at top speeds.
Zuranna sighing, quickened her speed for her king as her eyes were locked on the silver steak within his chest. "Donovan... I apologize for wishing you to aid my allies as soon as you're awoken... but please.. understand, this has turned into more then a few skirmish battles..." with her hands reaching forth, Zuranna curled her fingers around the cold metal steak yet froze as her eyes drawing to his face saw the silver metallic tears that had found a way out near four hundred years ago... "D..." shaking her head, Zuranna gripping the steak tightly, yelling, began to pull.
