Genesis – Chapter Three
Alucard smiled widely hearing Integra call him master. He knew that it would be a rare thing so he savored it all the more. He looked to her and said, "Come with me." He opened a portal and walked through it. When he stepped out, he was ready for his first true meal in a very long time. "You may join me in this if you wish, but I shall not force you to." He walked into a horrible looking place where he remembered seeing some report of a major mafia hang out and high potential of becoming ghouls. They never did but it would be a good first meal. He waltzed inside and looked around catching the attention of more than a few of the mafia members turning to him.
"Hey, who the fuck are you?" Guns were pointed at him promptly but he just smiled.
"You humans and your guns, how pathetic, without those puny little weapons, you have absolutely no hope… No life."
The leader yelled out, "Just kill the bastard!" They all opened fire with AK47's and mp 5's tearing into his flesh ripping his body apart. He lay in a puddle on the floor as the men laughed. "Take that trash out of here!"
Alucard looked up, "Who are you calling trash? You human scum!" He stood once more and grabbed the nearest human and drained him dry. He launched at the rest of them and enjoyed the chaos as it ensued. Their fear was almost as delicious as their blood and their screams--a symphony on his ears as he ripped through the pathetic little mob.
Integra watched him closely, her eyes narrowing as he walked inside. She took a breath. She didn't know whether she should of.. Or not. This place was a horrible place, she knew it for sure.. Killers, murderers, and drug pushers... She hated those people. They were just corrupting the world even farther. She jumped hearing the screams echo across the land and she clenched her fists, walking in slowly.. "Alucard." She said, watching him drain someone dry...
She bit her lip. She could hear each and every heartbeat, just calling out for her to taste their pulses. It pounded away in her head.. Over and over again, never-ending.. Just a nagging continuous sound that she wished would disappear. Her eyes glowed bright red as she parted her slim lips, showing the elongated fangs protruding from her gums. She looked over the fearing faces.. Their eyes wide and their heartbeats rapid.. She could taste it.. Their fear, she could smell it.
Without another moment of hesitation, she rushed towards the leader and sunk her fangs into his throat. He was struggling, only making the feeling better.. Oh, God. It was great.. It was an ecstasy she's never tasted, a crimson ambrosia dripping down her throat. In seconds, the man was drained dry and on the floor in front of the grinning Integra. Her eyes were closed in pure pleasure, now she knew what it had been like.. To kill, to feed.. And to love it.
Alucard stopped turning to see Integra drain a man. He smiled and laughed, he could feel her enjoyment through their link, and this was truly perfect. How many nights had he dreamed of this night where she would walk at his side, and the best is that she had made the choice of her own will.
By this time they were all but dead or escaped. He had had his fill for the moment, "How wonderful, how truly amazing! How did it taste? Do you want more?" He was grinning madly by this time and wondering how she would react.
She snapped her head towards him, her fangs pink.. Her lips bloody. She put her head down and stayed silent for a few moments. She slowly walked over to him, walking over the bodies that lay on the ground. She wrapped her arms around him.. "I don't understand, Alucard." She whispered. "Is this what you did.. Many years ago? Killing.. Enjoying it? Is it what I am.. supposed to do? Enjoy this?" She asked with no emotion, just wonder. She didn't know whether this feeling was.. Normal, or.. She closed her eyes, laying her head on his chest. She licked her lips, she had enjoyed it.. Yes, she did. The taste, the pleasure.
"...I want more.." She whispered.
Alucard frowned at first, "that's not all but yes, isn't it good? Doesn't it taste better than the finest whine? You will grow to enjoy it, but I believe the mission we had before is still valid, I will not allow these pathetic FREAKS to run this city wild. but I thought we would have fun tonight." He smiled again, "then you shall have it." He smiled running after one of the escaped men and he found another member of the mob. He grabbed him and waited for Integra.
Integra walked after him, keeping her head down.. And there it was again.. That fast, rapid heartbeat racing through her head. She closed her eyes, hearing Alucard's voice in her head as well. You will grow to enjoy it... She let out a small breath and looked to Alucard, holding the mob member. "A great pick..." She whispered before racing up to the human and clamping down on his throat, draining him.. Making sure he felt pain, making sure he felt the blood seep from his veins down her throat.. Pain was what she wanted him to feel, and that was what he got... And a lot of it.
His screams echoed through the night, bouncing off the walls and pounding against the grey, velvet clouds.. She dropped the human and looked to the moon with blood still on her tongue.. She closed her eyes and smiled. "...Thank you, Alucard. For showing me this..." She walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him, brushing her bloody lips over his.
Alucard smiled as he watched her come closer and embraced her, enjoying the taste of blood swimming between them. They disappeared into the darkness and appeared in her office, "I will show you everything."
She looked up into his red-orbed eyes and smiled. "...Good." She whispered, laying her head on his chest. This was perfect.. It's what she had always wanted.. To be with him, to know what his kind was truly like.. To taste the purity of the blood on her tongue. It was.. refreshing, magnificent. There weren't enough words for her explain it. She felt happy, truly happy.. Once in a lifetime.
Alucard smiled but for once, it was a real smile for he was truly happy. He hadn't been happy for hundreds of years. "From now on we will be happy. Well, shall we go pay the ones that betrayed you, a small visit?"
Integra looked into his eyes. "..We cannot hurt them... We'll just be what we've been hunting these so many years.. They might be traitors, and assholes.. and bastards.." She got angrier with each word. She took a deep breath. "...But they are not freaks. Nor vampires that feed on the innocence." She told him. "..If they do anything else, to me.. Or any of us.. I am sure they will not like it.. Because of what I now am.." She grinned. "And how I turned..." She chuckled and hugged him tighter. "..They will not be very happy." She laughed. "..It will be great watching them squirm."
Alucard laughed hearing a bit of the old Integra back in her voice. "I see, well I'll leave that up to you." He stood hearing footsteps. "My, my I believe Walter's coming."
She sighed. "..What shall... what shall I tell him?" She asked, keeping her head on his chest. "...I just don't know how he will react." She heard the footsteps coming closer and closer. She grinned widely. Maybe.. She thought, putting her lips to Alucard's just as the door was opening. She closed her eyes, and ran her fingers through Alucard's hair, giving all the passion she possibly could. She laughed inside, pulling him closer.
Alucard embraced her as Walter opened the door. "Alucard what do you think..." Walter dropped the papers in shock, "Sir Integra what are you doing!" Alucard didn't intend to help her from this one, but he was going to laugh and watch to see what she would do.
Integra broke the kiss and bit her lip with a smile on her face. It faded seeing the look of surprise on Walter's face. She backed away from Alucard and walked over to Walter, trying to divert her eyes so he wouldn't see the red orbs where her blue pupils were just a night ago. "..I've made a choice, Walter." She said, pulling some of the blonde hair back from her face. "..I believe that choice is for the best, not only for this organization.. But, for me as well.. Alucard, too." She closed her eyes and looked up, right into his eyes so he could see. "..I've made a choice." She repeated. "..Though it changes nothing but what I am... I hope you understand, Walter. And I hope you are not disappointed."
Alucard watched on happily. Walter tried to regain his composure even after seeing her eyes. "I don't know what to say but I suppose so long as you intend to continue your mission, then I cannot argue with your decision. However to be truthful, I didn't expect this. I thought you were stronger, but you made your choice and I am simply a humble servant to the Hellsing family but what will you tell the queen? When she finds out that you are escaped from your imprisonment, and about this?"
Alucard said, "She is strong, Walter. In fact anyone else would break after being betrayed by your precious queen and country!"
"As I said, I am not to argue with you. I am merely a servant to the Hellsing house, that is all." He straightened his back and left.
Integra sighed and turned back to Alucard, her head drooping from her shoulders. "..Dammit." She said, clenching her fist. She opened her eyes and slowly walked over to Alucard. "..I wonder just how the others will take it." She sighed. "..And the Queen? I don't think she'll be happy about it either." She paused and silence ran between them for a while. "..Maybe I should return..." She looked down again. "I think Walter is... Well, I don't know what Walter thinks. Nothing changes, except what I am.. Do you think it will be that hard for them to accept?"
Alucard frowned in thought. "Well I think that if that's your choice, we should go talk to her majesty this evening and tell her before those morons get to her and mislead her." He sat on Integra's desk. "Walter will get over it. He's just too stuck on what's prim and proper." Alucard laughed somewhat. and waited to see what she would decide.
Integra nodded slightly. "..I do believe that's a good idea. We need to get there first thing.. I am sure she will believe them, if they get there before us. Especially with what's occurred lately." She gave a small smile and put her hand to her forehead. "..Ughn.. I'm tired." She laughed, watching him sitting on her desk. "..Walter is very old fashioned. It is sometimes a good thing.. Sometimes, a bad. But, he's been here for a long time. I guess he thought he knew me.." She looked up into his eyes. "..But, no one did.." She smiled. "..But you."
Alucard nodded and said, "Then lets go." he opened a portal and waited for her to enter, when they did they appeared in the empty throne room, "She's already on her way, Sunrise is in 1 hour so we need to leave before then. Ill leave this to you, ohh and you look a bit ruffled." her clotes cleaned themselves and mended themselves so that they looked brand new. "Well now we wait."
She smiled to him and looked back to the empty throne with a sigh. She would not show it.. But, she was nervous as all hell. She didn't know whether the queen would behead her on the spot, or wait so that all of England could see. She stood in front of the throne and waited.. Waited...
The Queen entered the room without a smile, without a frown. No emotion what so ever. She looked over to Alucard and Integra walking onto her throne. Integra bowed her head and kneeled. "Your Majesty."
The Queen looked to her with now a frown, seeing her redened eyes. "..Sir Integra.." Her voice was soft, even with a bit of anger behind it. "..Why are you here on this night? Why was I awaken from my beauty sleep?" She asked.
Integra sighed. "I am sorry, your majesty. But, it is of the utmost importance that I speak with you right away... I am sure you know.. Just by looking into my eyes."
The Queen growled. "..Yes, I can see what you now are!" She yelled. "..Tell me, what happened? Did they attack you? Or did your servent drink your blood? Should I get the gullitine ready, Integra?"
Integra tightened her eyes shut. "No, My Queen. They did not attack me.. I have made the choice on my own. I made the decision to become what I am." The Queen shifted in her seat, thinking about the information she just recieved. She clenched her fingers around the arm handle of the throne. "How dare you?" The Queen asked. "How dare you embarrass me? Embarrass this country? YOUR FATHER? Your father was a good man, and he would die.. Die because of you, seeing what you have become! Hearing these words you are now speaking to me.. How dare you, Integra."
Integra lowered her head, but kept a stern look on her face. "..I'm sorry, your majesty." She sighed and stood slowly, keeping her head down. "..I hope you understand, your Majesty. That my species does not change anything... I will still hold the operations and the organization of Hellsing. These freaks will not be allowed to run killing and slaughtering the innocence of this country! I am not that different from a few nights ago, My Queen. My morals, my goals and hopes are still in place. I will not become what I hunt. You must understand, Majesty.."
"Understand what?" The Queen yelled. "You have let them win, Integra. You are now the very scum you killed, you are the scum!" She yelled. "..You do not deserve anything.. that I or this country have given you. You are a disgrace, Integra." The Queens eyes narrowed. "..You always have been."
Integra clenched her fists. "..Yes, My Queen.." She opened her eyes and looked over to Alucard with tears in her eyes. She looked away.. "..Yes, My Queen."
Alucard laughed stepping forward, "Stop, You sure are a high and mighty person arent you? you think all is cut and dry black and white, but how can you decide things when you have never battled the undead never have wave after wave of those FREAKS to deal with, have you even ever fired a gun? you think youre over and above all of this but youre just a coward that lays blame, she has done all this and with all of you sneearing at her! How dare you! you pathetic little mortal, its time someone put you in your place human!" he stood teeth bared. eyes flashing bright red.
Integra threw herself up and grabbed Alucard, throwing him behind her. She glared into his eyes and looked back to the Queen. "..I am sorry, your Majesty." She growled lowly. "..I will continue doing my mission. You will no longer have to deal with this Organization.. We will ask you for nothing.. We hope you do not ask for anything as well.. I must say, Your Majesty. I thought you would understand.." She looked away and started to walk, grabbing Alucard and pulling him along.
The Queen glared at their backs. "...Pathetic." She growled.
Integra let go of Alucard, but kept walking. It was too much for her to deal with... Everything. She thought she would understand, but no one really did.. But, she didn't regret what she did. If she hadn't, she would of died anyway.. Before that, she felt like her heart was cold, ready to flatline at any minute. But, now.. She felt free. And no one would give her any slack. She's fought for this country, her Queen.. Her organization since she was a child.. And now with the slightest thing, they all turned their backs.
Alucard was startled slightly when he was yanked back and dragged for a time when they left the throne room he said, "What the hell are you doing? " he was almost furious with her actions, "that sanctimonious holyer than though woman needed to realise reality! shes shrouded and protected and has never seen any of the horors that would send most humans running screaming! she had no right to say those things to you so why the hell did you stop me?" he stood glaring at her.
Integra turned around to face him. "..What would you rather want?.. For the both of us to get killed, or for my confidence and pride to be taken a shot!" She glared back at him. "..She's the Queen, Alucard. No matter what she does, you must show her the utmost respect. Or you will, 'disappear.'" She turned away from him. "..She has always been protected and kept from the real horrors of life, Alucard. Its what being Queen truly means. She doesn't know of how many times we've saved her life.. Nor does she care." She said with a sigh. "Some of what she said was true, anyway Alucard.. If you wish to stay by my side with what I am..." She looked back. "..Get used to hearing me get lectured."
Alucard chuckled calming down, "They could never kill me and i would never let them kill you. you should know that. well hopefully she'll allow things to continue like normal, even if your no longer invited to any officail functions, you hated those anyway." he laughed and opened another portal back into her office.
She looked over to him with a sigh. "..Yes, I didn't like going to them anyway. They were a waste of time." She walked itno the portal and stepped behind her desk, sitting down in the leather chair behind it. "..This is such a... eventful night, don't you think?" She smiled, but it faded. "I'm so tired.." She said, rubbing her temple with her slim, shaking fingers.
