Chapter Four

Alucard stepped into the mansion, still holding her in his arms. His face was emotionless, but you could see the anger behind his eyes. "Walter." He yelled out, walking into the medical facilities.

Walter came from behind him, looking to the bleeding girl. "What happened, Alucard?"

Alucard growled, laying her down upon the bed. "She was bait." He leaned down, his shadow falling over her. She was barely breathing and her heartbeat was slowing. Alucard looked to Walter, and then walked away, leaving her with him.

The doctors rushed in, placing an oxygen mask over her face. She had lost a lot of blood; she would be out for a while. They stitched her up, and placed her in recovery. Her body was weak and fragile, bruised and beaten by the suffering she had to endure.

Alucard looked to Integral as they both looked upon the sleeping beauty. "Why would they use her as bait?" Integral asked.

Alucard looked to her, his arms crossed. "She is weak; fragile in the mind, body, and soul. A perfect victim," he grinned. "A perfect target." His grin faded away, thinking about how he had seen her at first, sprawled about on the bed like some bloody sex toy. No one deserved that, even a weak human as she.

Integral looked to him, her blue eyes focusing on his facial expressions. They were changing non-stop, anger and rage were flowing through him. This she could tell. "She will be fine, Alucard. What do you suggest we do with her?"

Alucard stayed silent for a few moments. "Whatever we must." He said, backing up and disappearing into the darkness.

Integra threw her attention back to the young girl. She looked to the doctors. "Contact me when she wakes, understand?"

"Yes, Sir Integral. I understand." The doctor bowed his head, and went about his observations.

Seras's eyelids moved quickly, nightmares were creeping through her mind.

She slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurry and distorted. She tried to move, but her wrists were chained. Her eyes went wide as she again felt the dagger fly down her chest, dancing around her chests. Tears raced down her cheeks as she closed her eyes, telling herself it was a dream. It had to be!

"You're a nice piece of pussy!" Franz said, inserting himself in her.

She gasped and tried to move, but the dagger in her shoulder seemed to turn itself making her scream in pain. She could hear his laughter as he pounded into her. Her body flinched each time. "No!" She cried. "No!" She screamed, still struggling.

He ripped the dagger from her shoulder and licked the blade clean. "You taste so good." He said, licking up from her waist to her neck.

"No…" She said, "please… No!" She screamed as he forced a kiss on her. She could taste her own blood, her heart racing and rattling against the inside of her bleeding chest.

He put the blade to her chest once again, digging deeper and deeper. She closed her eyes, screaming and trying with all her might to get away. He laughed and licked up the blood from her chest, letting his tongue play with her bloody nipple. He grinned and bit into her breast, draining her only a little bit.

She gasped, her back arching as his lips went up to her neck and bit hard into her throat. She tried to scream for help, for anyone, but her screams quickly faded away as she looked blankly to the ceiling above her. She could hear her own heartbeat slow as he drank from her, more and more… Pain was racing through her as he brought his lips from her throat and looked into her eyes. "WAKE UP!" He yelled, slapping her across the face. "WAKE UP!"

The doctor looked to her heart monitor and her movements on the bed. Her heart was racing, her blood pressure dropping. Something was wrong, terribly wrong. He ran over to the bed and shook her shoulders. "Wake up! Wake up!" He looked over to the nurses and back to her with worried eyes. "Wake up!" He yelled. He gasped, seeing her eyes open slowly.

Seras opened her eyes, the light hitting them as her vision blurred. She moaned softly, seeing a figure before her, his hands on her shoulders. "No." She said, her voice weak. She fought to keep her eyes open as she watched the dark figure stand and look down upon her. Images flashed through her eyes… "No!" She yelled, jumping from the bed and throwing the doctor down.

She ripped the I.V. from her wrist, it was now bleeding. "No! Leave me alone!" She cried desperately, her mind confused making her eyes see what was not there. They crowded her as she pushed and kicked them away. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" She yelled, pushing herself into a corner and curling up into a shaking ball. "Leave me alone… Please?" She pleaded, closing her eyes letting the tears fall down her cheeks.

The doctor pulled himself up from the ground, rubbing his shoulder. He turned to one of the nurses and took a step towards the cowering Seras. He frowned as she flinched. "It's okay…" He told her. "You're all right." He turned to the nurse. "Go get Sir Integral. Now…" The nurse nodded and ran out of the medical facility to Sir Integral's office.

Integral was at her desk, lighting a cigar between her slim lips. She looked over to Walter. "Walter, what do you think we should do with this girl? There is no precedent for this… Should we just let her go? Or, keep her here?"

Walter looked up from pouring her tea. "I believe that if you let her go, Sir Integral, she will just become more of a target for those freaks. I think it would be wise for her to stay…" He bowed his head. "But, that is completely up to you, Integral."

Integral nodded and took a puff of her cigar. She jumped, seeing the nurse run straight through the doors almost falling to her knees out of breath. She stood and put her hands on her desk. "What is the meaning of this!" She asked, a bit annoyed.

The nurse rose her head, still trying to catch her breath. "She's awake, Sir Integral. She is scared out of her wits, she pushed Dr. Galitson down! She's awake!" She told her, looking into her eyes.

Integral's facial expression never changed. She stood straight and closed her eyes, taking another puff. "Alright, Walter would you like to come with me. You're better at this than I am." She smirked.

The nurse nodded and took a deep breath, walking back out to the corridor and leading Walter and Sir Integral to the medical facility.

"Leave me alone! Let me go!" She yelled, wincing in pain from her shoulder and chest. She tried to breath, but pressure was building on her chest. "Let me go. Please?" She cried, laying her head on the wall of the corners. Dr. Galitson tried to approach her, trying to calm her but it only made it worse. She would scream until he backed away from her.

Alucard was already there, a smirk rising up on his face showing a bit of fang. He could hear her heartbeat, fast and rapid… Scared and constant. His grin widened each time she screamed. His eyes looked at her from behind those orange glasses and the lowered brim of his red hat. "Pathetic…" He hissed, crossing his arms over his chest. He watched each tear fall from her blue eyes, down her pale exhausted cheek. He looked to her shoulder and the bandage was spotted red. She had probably opened it when she jumped from the bed and threw the others down. For a human, she was physically strong when frightened.

Alucard appeared in front of her, his eyes glowing red as he looked down upon her. She looked up and fell silent but her heart raced even faster. He laughed insanely, throwing his head back and closing his eyes. His shadow fell over her as he took a step closer to her.

Seras inched back farther, her mind still confused. He was a vampire. No! She wouldn't let him touch her. No! He wasn't going to win this time, he wasn't going to hurt her. "Leave me alone!" She yelled, tackling him to the ground, trying to get out of that place.

Alucard continued to laugh when he fell to the ground, her body on top of his. He wrapped his arms around her and held him close to her tightly, letting his eyes glow bright and his fangs glisten.

"Let me go!" She screamed, hitting his chest.

"Why?" He asked, his voice full of excitement. "I want to taste you…" He laughed, disappearing into the darkness, letting her body hit the floor.

She looked around her, seeing more people crowd her. She was pinned to the floor, her arm held out. She struggled, tears racing down. They held her wrists down, like the shackles. She winced as a needle was put to her arm. Her body slowly went numb as they slowly released her, but she couldn't move. She could barely keep her eyes open.

Integral had finally gotten to the medical facility, right when they had given her the sedative. "What's happening here?" She yelled, walking over to the girl and kneeling, looking down into her fearing blue eyes. She looked up to Dr. Galitson and growled. "Why did you give her sedative?"

"She was panicking. She threw me and a few of the nurses down. She even tackled Alucard." He answered.

Integral looked back down to the girl, her eyes still open. She put her hand to her cheek and smiled slightly. "You'll be all right. I promise you." Integral looked over to Walter, he had a smile on his face. He walked over to her and picked Seras up, following Integral out into the hallway. "We will take her to one of the rooms… Maybe there she won't be so afraid of us." She said, opening one of the doors.

Walter walked in and laid the young girl down on the bed. He turned around seeing Alucard appear from the shadows. "Are you alright, Alucard?" He asked with a smirk. "We heard she attacked you… Already." He chuckled.

Alucard smiled back. "Yes…" He licked his lips. "I can see why the chose her. So pathetic, yet so determined to struggle and be freed." He laughed.

Integral snapped her head towards him. "Alucard!" She yelled, watching him walk back into the darkness. She looked to the girl and sighed, watching her eyes slowly close. "She will wake in a couple of hours." Walter nodded and followed her back out.

Alucard laughed and appeared beside her. His let his hands fall to her cheek. "Such fiery passion of determination." He laughed, looking down on her. "Sweet dreams…" He chuckled.
