Authors Note: I'm sorry that this took over a week to post and that there is only one single chapter. It's the last week of school before vacation and you know how hectic that time period is... Now then, I hope you enjoy! Please review and give suggestions if possible!
Izaiah POV
By the time I got out of the coffin, Seras had already left to train with WG-II. I was happy that she was pursuing her ambitions as a commander, but I was still unsure what to make of her relationship with her Master.
"You don't need to think anything of my relationship with my Child." Alucard had a somber face as he leaned against the wall farthest away from me.
His voice caught me off guard.
"What do you mean?"
"I meant exactly what you thought I meant. Your thoughts are wide open for others to read. I'm surprised Seras still hasn't noticed it herself, but she has always been a little slow on noticing these things."
I walked towards the blood packs and spoke as I took a sip from a bag.
"There has been others?" The nonchalantness in my voice did not give hint towards the ire that was slowly building up in my chest towards the thought of another man loving Seras and having a chance to be next to her.
His serious visage shifted into one with a grin although something about his grin hinted that he found nothing in this situation deserving of legitimate amusement.
"You admit to loving my fledgling?"
"I do."
Alucard's next movements caught me completely off guard. One moment he was still by the wall, the next his left hand had a complete hold on my neck.
"Do not get close to her, fledgling" he hissed, eyes glowing a bright shade of vermilion.
I flung him off of me.
"My name's Izaiah, and what's it to you?" I hissed back, fangs elongated in my mouth.
I lunged towards him as his shadows slowly drifted from his body. He dodged my movements with ease.
"She's mine." He dematerialized himself and then appeared behind me. His left knee met my spin with a sickening crack and I could feel my body collapse.
"You are nothing but her Master." I stared straight into his eyes as he threw me against a wall.
"And you are nothing but her Childe." He growled before he bit down on my shoulder.
I could feel the blood draining from my body and the overwhelming weakness that came with it. It felt nothing like when Seras had drained me in the past.
The longer he held on, the more I could feel myself fading, leaving, me to become a part of him.
The next thing I knew was darkness like no other.
Third Person POV
A member of WG-II launched an attack on Seras. She dodged each bullet with a feline grace. She caught the leg of a soldier who had dared to challenge her physically.
She had warned them time and time again to never decide to go into battle with a vampire unarmed; however, there were still those who tried to impress her.
She was getting ready to release the leg of the soldier and make him see a traumatic illusion when her grip on his leg tightened.
The soldier let out a scream.
Seras snapped out of her sudden violent mood with the crack of the soldier's bone. She could feel something wavering within her. She had to search within herself to find out what she had felt go awry. Her calls towards her Childe were going unanswered.
She left the soldier with his broken leg and dematerialized to Izaiah's room, desperate to figure out just what happened to her Childe.
Alucard was still drinking from Izaiah when Seras appeared in the room.
She felt a fury that she had never before felt. Her movements were swift as she forcefully removed her Master from the body of her Childe.
"How dare you?! What the hell are you thinking?!" Her eyes flashed a dangerous red, her claws digging into his flesh.
She had felt a sense of protectiveness of a Master for her Childe, a sense of rage with every ounce of care she felt for Izaiah, but that was not all. She had momentarily felt the protectiveness of a mate for him.
Alucard had been surprised for the brief moments that Seras was able to overpower him to get him off Izaiah.
When the initial shock finally wore off and his rage doubled.
"You dare challenge your Master?" He dislodged himself from her grip.
"What kind of Master tries to kill the fledgling of their Childe?!" Seras felt blood tears prickle in her eyes. A low growl kept rumbling within her chest.
"I may do as I please, Police Girl." His tone reflected his fury.
Seras turned away from Alucard and made to step next to Izaiah.
"Izaiah…" her tears dropped onto his face, "please respond… don't go. I've been a terrible Master. Let me make it up to you. Please…" Seras ripped the flesh at her wrist and placed it on his lips. "Drink… Come back to me. Don't leave me…"
Alucard felt his rage increase in intensity at the show of care his Childe was showing the unconscious vampire. His composure snapped he saw Seras try to give blood to Izaiah mouth-to-mouth. When he finally realized what he was doing, he already had his fangs buried deep within Seras' throat.
Her tears continued to fall.
The closer he came back to sanity, the looser his hold on her grew.
His jaws eventually unclasped.
She fell.
He caught her as she continued to sob.
"Bloody Hell, Alucard! What did you do to Police Girl and her fledgling?!" Integra had learned of the incident shortly after Izaiah had been hauled over to the emergency room by Seras.
"Nothing, Master."
"Nothing? How is that nothing?! Do you have any idea how Seras got by over the years that you were gone?! She had been losing her sanity as each day went by! She had only got it back after she met Izaiah." Integra let herself fall into her seat and bought her hands onto her face trying to rub her exasperation away.
"Alucard…go apologize to Seras."
Alucard grinned.
"A Master never apologizes to their Childe."
"Now they do. Alucard, this is not a suggestion. I order you to go and apologize to her."
His grin disappeared.
"Yes, my Master." He bowed deeply before disappearing.
Seras POV
I sat next to the coffin which held my Childe. He had been given many bags of medical blood through injection since being transferred into the medical branch in Hellsing.
Never once had he awakened after Master attacked him.
Never once had I left his side.
"Izaiah…" my voice was hoarse from being unused for so long.
"I know you may not be able to hear me, but it's already been 2 weeks… Please. Please, give me a sign that you're still here, that you're not gone."
She remembered back to the moment she saw Alucard taking his blood.
"I don't think I've ever been that angry with Master." She leaned her head onto his chest.
"If you come back, I'll do anything. Anything…"
Third Person POV
Seras felt the presence of Alucard before he materialized in the room. She masked all of her emotions under a cool facade.
"How can I help you, Master?"
He remained silent.
"If there is nothing, please do not bother him. He is still resting."
"He's been gone for 2 weeks now, Police Girl. What makes you think he's just resting?" His voice sounded mocking even to his own ears.
"Master, if you are only here to boast about your handiwork, please go away." She continued to look at the face of the comatose Izaiah.
"Police Girl…"
Seras did not respond.
"Seras…"
She shifted slightly in her seat.
He moved to sit next to her and rested her head against his chest.
"I'm sorry."
Seras' eyes widened. Alucard had never apologized to her before and the position they were in reminded her of something Izaiah would've done. Regardless, Alucard continued.
"I was really stupid to have done that. Forgive me, please." His gloved hand started to stroke along her hair.
"I don't know what happened… I have no idea why I did what I did. I know that nothing I say can fix what happened, but Seras," he tipped her chin to look at him "don't just stay silent…"
He bought his face closer to hers and eventually their lips met.
It started off a slow and gentle kiss. His lips firm against hers, tongues ghosting over each other. The intensity increased with each passing moment and the kiss changed from a kiss that had been a kiss meant to show care and sincerity into a kiss of heat.
His hands slid to her neck.
The kiss continued. When Seras moaned into the kiss, Alucard smiled.
"Mmmm… Izaiah…"
Alucard's eyes flashed open.
He dematerialized himself from the room before he could something he knew would wreck what little was left between Seras and him.
What the Hell am I doing? She is my fledgling, not my Mate! Why did I get so angry? Why did I kiss her?
