Draculina of My Heart

Ch. 2 Swept Away to Romania

How could this happen? Alucard mentally screamed at himself. How could he have let that... Freak bastard get away with his fledging? It hadn't taken more than a split second. He had swayed to the left, avoiding the bullet by a few inches, not that it would have mattered anyways. The Freak had taken out a grenade in the time that it took Alucard to dodge, then threw it into the air, creating a smoke screen. It wasn't a normal smoke, if it was, it wouldn't have been a problem for him. It was in that instant that the Freak took Seras and fled.

A stupid mistake was made.

He stormed through the Hellsing manor, quickly making his way up to Integra's office and phasing through the floor. His normal, evil grin had been replaced by a rare snarl. His eyes lay slanted behind his orange glasses.

"What is it Alucard?" Integra asked as she hastily sorted through a stack of papers.

"I'm going to Romania." he replied in a stern voice. Integra's head snapped up from her work, a look of pure shock was slapped onto her normally emotionless face.

"Why on Earth would you go there, and what makes you think I would let you?" Integra barked. Alucard turned his head slightly to the left, so he wouldn't have to make direct eye contact with his master.

"The police girl..." he began, "was taken by a Freak." he finished with a defeated voice. Integra raised a brow. Nothing like this had ever happened before, then again, Seras was never around before. Placing her head in her hands, she let out a heavy sigh and glanced up at Alucard.

"No more than 1 week," Alucard's grin came back, "starting tomorrow night." His grin fell again. He gave a low growl in a moment of protest before vanishing. Integra sighed again, shaking her head in disapproval.

"It's not like you to lose something that precious to you, Alucard." she mummbled.

"Finally!" a male voice exclaimed as the giant doors of the castle opened then shut as he passed through. The dark, empty room was lit only by the moonlight that flowed down through several high windows. His dark crimson eyes cast themselves onto the form of the sleeping woman in his arms. Her blonde hair was out of place and thrown over her pale face.

How he would love to see her pale blue eyes again, but now it was best that she wasn't awake. He shifted his weight and gently moved her into a more comfortable position as he took off down a dark corridor. It tookonly a fewminutes of walking before he reached the right room. The door flew open, to reveal a large, lavish room with a large coffin in the center. The walls were all plain, but the room was filled with antique furniture.

He strode across the room and placed Seras into the black coffin. A smile tugged at his lips as he watched her roll over and grasp the sheets in her delicate hands. He reached down and gently caressed her soft face. Her body seemed to tense at the contact of his cold hand against her face, but her muscles quickly relaxed again.

"Soon, my dear. Very soon, you shall be mine. How I will enjoy it when the time comes." he said with a dark smirk spread over his handsome face. Straightening up, he closed the coffin and turned around. An evil smile remained on his face as he walked out of the room, the doors closing and locking shut after him.

Alucard paced back and forth in the darkness of his room. He had spent the last two hours trying to reach Seras mentally. No matter what he did, he just couldn't find her. He mummbled a curse as he took a drink from his half full wine glass. The red liquid that usually quenched his thirst, no longer helped. His mind was set on taking the blood of the Freak who took Seras. He wouldn't be satisfied until he had that blood.

"Tomorrow night, is the last you'll ever see." he snarled before finishing the blood and laying in his coffin.

Seras stared at the coffin lid. It was oddly heavy and she couldn't find the button to open it. She crossed her arms and scowled. This was only the third thing to go wrong since she woke up. First of all, she woke up. At least an hour before sunrise. Second, she had an enormous headache. Third, she couldn't open the coffin. She took her fist and smashed it into the coffin lid, instantly wishing she hadn't.

Cursing, she knocked on the coffin lid. It seemed odd, but what else could she do.

"Could someone please let me out? I think I'm... stuck." she said a little hesitantly. A moment passed by in silence. She gaped at the coffin lid as it slowly slid off. Sitting up, she looked around. There was a man sitting with his back to her. His dark blonde hair was pulled back into a neatly tied, low ponytail. His old fashioned, black clothing resembled that of a midieval prince.

"Umm..." Seras began, but instantly closed her mouth as he glanced over his shoulder at her. His dark crimson eyes pierced through her. She squirmed, obviously uncomfortable under his extreme gaze. It reminded her of Alucard.

"Don't think about him." the vampire said while standing. He walked up to her, taking her chin in his cold hands and raising her gaze to meet his. "You never have to worry about him again, your mine now." he said softly while pulling her face close to his. His lips lightly brushed against hers.

Seras pulled her head out of his grip and scrambled to get out of the coffin. The man sighed and shook his head.

"Don't be so shy, my dear. It's only the two of us here." he said in a soothing voice while walking around the coffin after her. Seras frowned and backed away, shaking her head.

"Don't... don't touch me... Stay away..." she ordered in a small, shaking voice. The man shook his head still advancing. Seras almost screamed when he vanished and reappeared behind her. His left arm wrapped itself around her waist, pulled her up against him.

"Let me go!" Seras ordered while trying to break his grip on her. He leaned down, placing his head on her shoulder and whispered in her ear.

"I'm sorry about all of this, but don't worry. Soon, you'll forget all about your past and all you'll have left is me." he stated in a dark voice.

"Who are you?" Seras squeaked. The vampire smirked as he brought his right hand up behind her neck with a needle in hand. He pierced the skin and injected the strange liquid. There it was again. That cold metalic feeling that came over her earlier that night. Her body fell limply against his as her eyes began to spin. Seras could feel his warm breath on her neck, he put his lips against the place where he had injected her.

"I, my dear draculina, am Vincent. That is the only name I am known by. I know you'll forgive me for this, because once you wake up you won't remember any of this." he whispered as Seras' eyes closed.
