Me: Alright (rubs hands together) no need to kill me yet... just read onward.
Ty: (weakly whimpers) Alucard... is very scary...
Alucard: well duh.
Zuranna: (sighs)
Me: um... anywho, keep reading and enjoy!

"Seras... wake up..." Seras's eyes flew open. With a startled cry, the girl sat up hard and blinking saw nothing but black all around. Her blood soaked and mangled form gave off a odd white glow in the darkness. "W... where am I?" Seras whispered as fear rose with her whispered words echoing faintly all around. "Seras... you... have passed away..." the soft woman's voice echoed gently all around sending a sense of comfort to Seras's terrified heart, but her fear remained. With her eyes looking around for the source of the woman's voice, Seras swiftly stumbled to her feet. "Passed... I'm dead?" the girl rasped weakly and froze as she saw before her a ghostly glow of white begin to grow brighter and rake shape. Within seconds a woman glowing as bright as day stood there, with soft but sad red eyes and flowing glossy golden hair, a white elegant loose dress danced around her body.
Seras fell back hard as the woman with those sad eyes looked at Seras. A small regretful smile rested on the woman's pale lips. "Yes... you died by the fangs of the Dracula in black..." With a small sigh, the woman gave an apologetic nod of her head making the golden locks of her hair bounce ever so slight "my apologies, you know him as Alucard." The woman's soft voice purred gently in the darkness. Seras though falling back even more, looked at the woman with pure caution. "Who... are you?" the girl whispered. The woman sighing, looked fully at Seras, not just at her eyes, but it felt the woman stared at Seras's very being, her very soul. "I am... the previous queen of Dracula... Carmila... the one who sold out my king to Van Hellsing." That made Seras's eyes go wide as she stumbled back even more. "C... Carmila... you sold..." Seras's eyes narrowed as she stared at this woman in white. "Why did you... wasn't Alucard... your lover, your king?" Seras's words slithered out as her anger began to rise. How could anyone betray the one they loved, even if he was a vampire!
The woman merely smiled sadly "Go ahead, hate me, despise me... I ask for no mercy, no pity... I have no excuse... that man frightened me, his constant bloodlust, and desire for the darkness... and Van Hellsing; he said he would help me... in the end, it was Dracula who killed me..." with her smile turning dry and a bit crooked, the woman's form suddenly shifted making Seras cover her mouth with her left hand. Her dress was soaked in glistening blood as her ripped out throat sloshed blood all around. With her chest ripped apart like some morbid cabinet, the woman's face looking beyond mangled and eyes ripped out with eyelids torn off, had her very own heart lodged into her mouth as both arms were gone leaving stripped upper bones that had been shattered from a mighty blow. In a blink, her form reverted back to the clean white dress and soft glow.
Her sad eyes once more on Seras who shaking kept her mouth covered. "I was his last kill before the Hellsing clan had full control of his body... Hellsing didn't make him a servant, I did... and I am paying for it... and for all eternity, I shall pay for it... I loved Dracula, and I betrayed him... now I can at least help him." The woman's gentle words whispered into Seras's ears as she weakly lowering her hand watched the past queen. "Help... how..." the girl whispered unknowing if she could really trust the one who betrayed Alucard. Carmila smiling lifting her left foot, slowly began to head for Seras. Seras's breath caught up in her lungs as the woman was suddenly right in front of her. "this might hurt... a bit..." a loud cry left Seras's lips as her body lurched forward. With wide eyes, Seras looking down saw the former queen's right hand embedded right in her gut letting red blood laced with gold spill out.
"Do not be afraid... or be worried, Dracula shattered my soul, I cannot go back to the living even if I wanted to... I am going to use the remains of my soul as a channel to bring you back to the living and in your form... yet..." Seras with wide eyes, weakly looked up at Carmila as her red eyes bore onto her own as the former queen's hand clutched Seras's heart making the girl whimper. "... the path to the living can only be opened if one on either side opens the doorway, meaning... Dracula will need to open the pathway on the other side." The woman spoke as her grip on Seras's heart faintly faltered. Seras continued to watch the woman as the golden traced blood began to slip from her mouth, her silent question finding its way to Carmila, who smiled sadly. "you wonder what would happen if it were to fail... simple... I cannot regenerate after giving up my soul to return you to your king... if he does not open that doorway, and it fails... you will remain dead, so here is what we must do... I'll open the link ever so slight so your mind can reach him if he is near your body, the link will be very weak so you must truly want him to hear you, you must truly want to return to his side, understand Seras?" the former queen murmured.
Seras weakly nodded and Carmila smiling gently nodded back "then... here we go..." Seras gave a strangled yell as Carmila tightening her grip on Seras's heart, the girl felt it in her mind, like a fiery spark of red light faintly reattach. With a faint sigh, Seras's eyes became glazed making the former queen watch her. "call him Seras... if you truly love him... call him." The woman whispered.
Seras faintly felt the awareness of realty around her, like a dream that she couldn't fully awaken from. Remembering Carmila's words, Seras reached forth in the darkness like a blind child, trying to find Alucard's mind. There! She felt the small link attach to the man's mind and froze as the emotion bled onto her. Utter loss, sorrow, grief, pain... pain as if her emotional heart was ripped out. Pushing them to the side, Seras threw her small mental link onto Alucard. "Alucard... can you hear me... please... I'm not... no... I'm dead... but I can come back.. but I need your help.. please!"

"Donovan..." Zuranna whispered, the American king nodded "I see..." he spoke in a low tone, his red eyes serious as he peered forward. "What's going on?" spoke Integra as both she and Walter eyed the Americans. "It's Alucard... he's being contacted, yet the link seems weak... if I am correct on my guess... Seras hasn't given up on living just yet." The king murmured as he narrowed his golden red eyes. Integra and Walter looking over did indeed see him. Alucard's hunched form had gone rigid as the red tears had stopped falling but remained on his face.
-------
"Seras?" Seras's heart raced making Carmila look at the girl, realizing what was going on, Carmila smiled weakly. Seras felt the joy in her very soul rise as the emotions she felt poured through the small link into the man who had changed her as she heard his startled near whisper of a voice. "Yes... yes, it's me! I'm... alive... sort of... I need your help to bring me back to life... something about opening the doorway on both sides."
"Seras."
"yes?" Seras murmured weakly as she was concerned by the sudden hardness to Alucard's voice. "Is Carmila with you?" hearing the vile hate in his words, Seras felt sudden fear rise in her heart. "Yes... she's..."
"Let me speak to her..." Seras was very frightened by his cold words, but complied. Carmila looked down as Seras's eyes blinked a few times and became cleared and looked fearfully at Carmila. "he... wants to... speak to you..." Seras whispered weakly. Carmila sighing weakly, nodded "Then... I will speak with him... please wait for a few more minuets..." the woman spoke and clenching Seras's heart tighter making the girl flinch, Seras watched Carmila's own eyes become distant and glazed. Seras jumped as a few minuets flew by, Carmila suddenly came back to life. The former queen had a hard look as she looked at Seras. "Is... everything..." the girl started, Carmila nodded "he is ready... you will be brought back." The woman spoke, her once soft voice was hard making Seras watch her uneasily. "Carmila?" she whispered. Carmila looking at her, gave a small dry laugh "it's nothing... lets get this underway so I may finally find eternal sleep..." Seras cried out as Carmila began to tighten her grip on the girl's heart. "This is going to hurt... I am sorry... but it's the only way..." Seras weakly watched as the woman's body and voice began to fade from sight and be replaced with the ghostly white light from before.
"Carmila?" the girl whispered as all around her body, everything began to spin and make Seras extremely dizzy. "My soul is dying.. I will no longer exist... but it's for the best... reign strong and proud, Queen of all undead, Seras Victoria..." as the voice fully faded, Seras felt the fatigue strike her body like a sledgehammer as she feeling very heavy felt herself laying cramped within someone's arms. The surrounding scents filled her lungs heavily gagging her with the stench of spilled blood. Red eyes flew open and leaning for the figure that held her, Seras began to heavily cough as she tried to clear her lungs of the vile odors. With a weak groan leaving her lips, Seras limply pressed her from against the broad chest that binded her. To weary and fatigued to have any train of thought, in a mere few seconds, the girl fell fast asleep. Seras unknowing a man in red who clutching her body bore a dark grin upon his lips as well as within his red eyes the look of true dark pride resided.
