----------------------------------------
Fire, screams, pain, blood... so much blood!
With shaky feet slipping in a award stepping back on the blood lathered pavement, Seras, with terrified sapphire eyes stared all around at the burning city that encased her small shivering form. The surrounding walls were dripping of blood as bodies laid strewn about all around both be it upon sidewalks, roads or in alleyways, limbs ripped off, chests torn out, organs, blood and bones everywhere. Children, men, women, everyone was dead. Hearing the groan of a chain, Seras swung around hard and began to wish she hadn't as there dangling from light poles by means of chains, bodies of all ages, limbs ripped off. Blood slowly dripped from the open wounds with the many colored disfigured organs sloshing out like morbid displays created by some madman.
Seras went rigid as she heard the heavy thud of shoes landing behind her with the rustle of heavy cloth and click of metal on metal. With her body shivering like a small leaf to a harsh wind, Seras; drawing in a weak breath, swung around and stumbled back onto the ground kicking up pools of blood as her eyes, if they couldn't get any bigger, indeed succeeded as she saw the figure before her. Her heart flew into her suddenly very dry throat as no breath was being allowed in her locked up lungs. There standing before her was a tall figure, baring a giant black trench coat that had single shiny metal cross on his lower left sleeve. Drawing a many more steps back upon the blood painted street mixed with lumps of disemboweled limbs, she saw and heard the blood dripping down the man's body as his blazing blue and yellow eyes bore into her own sapphire. With a low growl, fangs bore upon his shadowed face, the figure lifting his hand up brought it right for Seras as the clawed fingers had tendrils of the blood sticking between them.
"Wake up."
Sapphire eyes flew up as ragged breaths tore through her trembling chest. With a fluid blink to clear her eyes, Seras saw with her entire left side of her face smashed heavily onto the small oval window, outside, the night sky filled with a blanket of clouds below with stars and a near full moon high above. It was all... just... some morbid... nightmare.
Hearing his dark chuckle, Seras weakly pulling her face from the glass making her soft skin turn a faint red. The young queen glanced timidly to her king that sat beside her with a look of dark content. Whatever he was content with, the petite young lady didn't know, and probably didn't want to know, none the less though... she eyed him oddly as to why Alucard had laughed cruelly, no doubt having prodded her mind when she had awaken, if not before hand.
Clearly seeing this with his concealed red eyes behind his orange circular shades, the man in red merely continued to stare forward at the seats before them. "a nightmare... only if you were a pure human, but you are not my dear Seras.. have you not forgotten your proper place in the darkness?" his cruel words slithered into her mind like that of warm water sliding onto her cold bare form causing goose bumps to rise upon her body and make a shiver consume her petite form. Seeing this, the man's cruel grin grew as the dark chuckle rumbled once more from his chest causing the very nervous patrons in the seats before them, shudder in true terror. They had tried to get away from the very couple behind them, but due to the plane being a full flight, no one could get away, and this amused Alucard greatly to feel all their terror filled souls scream.
Nearby in the center aisles by the royal undead, Striker in a awkward position to that of a human even though a giant griffin, sat in his seat with Sarina in his lap reading happily some random child's book. With his lion like tail flicking lazily about between his legs, the griffin's golden eyes were shut as beside him, with headphones inside the cloaked hood of black cloth. Inferno's blazing red eyes watched the TV screen before all as the movie of some random assortment played. Both Integra and Walter sitting beside the guardian, were fast asleep with their head propped up against each other giving the two a very odd cute look. Even though Integra was a stern woman with a hard ego to crack and Walter, a dark slayer, they looked near normal to those with untrained eyes.
With fingers tapping the left arm rest, sitting behind the group, Ty was busy having his nose in very thick book that was held tightly in his right hand. At random times of when the story got interesting, his brown wolf ears in the mop of brown hair, would flop up and fwit ever so slight as a slight curl possessed the corners of his mouth. Alexial sitting to his right though, was to busy looking all around like a near crazy squirrel due to having eaten almost all of her sweet treats. It was one of her few sugar highs, and to the young woman who was the daughter of Donovan and Zuranna, enjoyed it greatly even though it made her look a bit odd.
Far in the back of the plane, there sat Anderson and his two companions, Heinkel and Yumiko who apparently were both in a deep slumber. Anderson though, was busy tending to his two main bayonets, cleaning off any remnants of his last 'jobs' and fixing the scrapes and nicks they had gained from many battles from both recent and far past. His red eyes though shifted ever so slightly to the aisle on his right having his red eyes meet those of brilliant innocent sapphire.
Having needing to use the bathroom, Sarina had drawn to a timid stop and with her small fingertip in her mouth with wide blue eyes, the little girl stood there and stared at the tall man with his sleeping allies on both his sides.
Anderson leisurely blinking, lazily rested the cleaning cloth and stone upon his lap with blades following suit as the slayer from the one time Vatican, smiled gently to the young child uncaring that her very big winged and feather lathered guardian stood behind her with protective golden hawk like eyes. "Hello little one..." all signs of ever being a slayer seemed to melt as the blond man watched her as she gave a small shy smile with the fingertip still lightly between her teeth. Seeing this, the man's own smile grew as his eyes not leaving hers, somehow got across to the beast before them. "relax griffin, she is not in any harm... so young one... do you have a name?" the man's harsh words to the bird, softened once more as he went back to full attention upon the small child before him with blue eyes and blond hair.
Removing her finger from her lips, the girl giggling, blushed as she meekly looked to him. "S... Sarina... S... Sir..." the shy little girl near whispered making the man chuckle softly as his dancing red eyes watched her that made Striker eye him. This man that was supposedly a very hard and war loving man, had a look of... something within his eyes... like that, that Striker had seen in the far past from the last time he was still a mere fledgling and meeting his father's proud eyes. Father... Father! With a heavy snort, the griffin took in deep breaths from the air, uncaring of the frightful looks gained from the nearby passengers. Indeed... as he took in breaths while the two spoke... both man and child carried a very faint, but familiar scent... could it be... this man was...
------------------------------
Seras sighing, looked weakly to her hands as the trembling as finally fading away. Blinking, the woman just stared as a pale callused hand finding its way into her line of vision, smoothly slipped his fingers onto her hand and lifting her hand from her lap, Seras turning her sapphire eyes, met those of her king that was concealed behind his orange shades as the signature smirk was curled upon his pale lips. "Alucard... then... what was it... if not a.. nightmare..." his young immortal queen whispered softly, letting her warm breath slip onto the back of his hand that still draped her petite hand within his own.
Lifting her hand up into the center of their locked eyes, the man parting his lips, chuckled softly and cruelly as he seeing Seras flinch to thinking he was going to bite her, tenderly slipping his warm moist fangs onto her soft flesh, nibbled her hand causing the young lady to flinch once more, but to that of trying to bury her faint greed for him. Blood Moon may only effect true vampires such as himself, but with the small amount he continuously fed his queen, poor Seras was easily taken away into the realms of desire and want by simple gestures Alucard did upon her, be it, mind, body or soul if not all at once.
"You've had them before when you were still a true undead... try to remember." The man's dark words purred softly into her mind as his fangs continued to nip her soft flesh making the skin to puff up and redden, but not break. Seras's form shuddering, the girl, struggling half heartedly tempted to writhe her hand from his as her sapphire eyes watched his face that still grinned. Blinking, Seras gave a very weak smile as she did indeed recall. "A... vision... a foresight..." the young queen whispered as her struggling ebbed with his painful caress of fangs upon her hand was lifted, yet the man in red still cloaked her hand within his own as the grin grew upon his lips. A dark chuckle rose once more from his undead lungs as behind his shades, blood red eyes danced. "Yes... it seems... the third undead king has been found and imprisoned... and now on the move. Maxwell for once is acting a bit smart..." the man sneered cruelly within Seras's mind making her form shudder and lean further into her seat. "Imprisoned... but... what now..." Seras spoke softly in a low tone, more to herself then anyone.
Alucard, outright laughed cruelly gaining more fear to bleed all around from all the passengers that sat nearby. His grip tightened hard upon Seras's own hand making her sapphire eyes flash back to his own as he peered over the black rims, exposing his violent red eyes. "What now... simple; we go to war dear Seras... we need that third undead to make you once more, fully my own undead queen... you do wish to become a true undead once more..." With a shifting of his heavy coat and a few cracks of muffled bones in his tall sadistic form, Alucard leaning forward released Seras's hand as his own lashing forth, snaked roughly around her chin making Seras's face come no more then two inches from his own cruelly grinning one. "Correct... My Dear Seras?" The man crooned in a low purring tone causing the young woman to shudder under his hold as her wide blue eyes were still looking into his own like a snake to a charmer.
Seras blinking, watched this very man feared by all others with her sapphire eyes planted upon her suddenly very red face. She did indeed want to become a undead once more, to be with him purely once more. Ever since Seras had given up her undead blood to save him, she felt only half complete both spiritually and physically. A damned soul rested in her human shell, and the young woman knew all to well; the human side had to go if she wanted o feel 'complete' once more. But... she would give it all up all over again if she had to, to save the very man and dubbed monster that she truly loved. As this thought flashed through her mind, memories rose up... the very reason Seras had gone back to being a human... it was all for him.
-----------------
Eyeing the still moist droplet of gold laced blood resting so timidly within her right palm, Seras brought the needle to the small droplet. She prayed her faith in how stubborn Hellsing were, that this would be enough or... Seras's gaze faltered weakly to her dying master as already his own withering skin was beginning to peel and crack allowing tendrils of near black blood to seep out all over.
Drawing the small drop into the syringe, Seras upon swift legs making the wooden floor groan from her movement, kneeled by Alucard who seemed no longer aware of his surroundings. His blue gray eyes glazed and very distant. "Alucard, hang in there... please..." the man didn't even flinch as she jabbed the needle into his arm and began to draw forth his blood. No time could be wasted, and without thinking of the consequences, Seras jabbed the needle hard once more into her right arm with a painful wince going over her face and form. Letting the syringe to drop to the ground with a loud clatter as the wind pelted the window with the heavy rains. Seras weakly watched Alucard as Maxwell's struggles had ended behind her, yet the girl did not want to see the outcome of the elixirs reverse effects. Nothing... five minuets passed, ten minuets passed... Seras sighing weakly sat beside her king who somehow was managing to stay alive... barely. Bringing her bent knees to her front, Seras curling her arms timidly around her legs, rested her face from lips down onto her bent up joints. What now?
Seras's mind began to wander. She didn't want to lose him. Not after all they've been through. As she sat there, Seras recalled... she remembered. With a small sigh, Seras not moving her head, looked over to Alucard whose white hair once more concealed his face. "A... Alucard... Do you... remember first time we met... in Cheddar... you let me live... and I became your fledgling..." looking once more to the ground by her feet, Seras gave to a timid smile as the scenery outside even still blustery was lessening up in the rains downpour. She could smell the gathering smoke as the building they resided within was beginning to become consumed by flames like her former home. "I called you master for what seemed... so long ago. I remember Hellsing, Sir Integra, Walter... my never wanting to feed... then after a few years, hellsing burned down, you gained your freedom... life seemed so much better... I became your queen. Alucard..." the tears brimmed her eyes causing her vision to blur, her mind taking in the full conclusion of either outcome as flames began to lap past the mahogany doors. Hearing the wooden beams within the wall groan like an old ship. Seras weakly gave a shaky breath, she wouldn't leave his side even if the house was fully consumed by the fires ravenous hunger to consume all.
"... I... wanted to spend my life with you... to be your queen... but.. I guess it won't... happen... if you die, I lose you... but... if this works... I'll be human, and I'm no longer a virgin... I will not be able to get changed back... Alucard..." burying her face into her legs, Seras gave in to a loud muffled sob as she wiped her wet eyes onto the black rough jean material. "... I'm sorry... I didn't know what else to do... but please... please, don't die... I... I can't..." Seras gave a strangled cry as her entire body began to lose strength. She couldn't move as her muscles throbbed from the feel of falling asleep and before the pins and needles. Cringing, Seras with relief on her mind as well as sorrow, buried her face further into her legs as even without movement, the painful waves coursed through her form heavily. She felt it, her familiar faded, the dark coil was burned away. Through the wooden doors, the vivid orange flames lapped at the wood making it crack and peel. The young woman didn't even see the flames begin to consume and choke the room with black smoke as with sweat trickling down her face, Seras giving a weak whimper, collapsed hard onto Alucard's side as all around her became blurred and unfocused.
Standing there as two silhouettes from the roaring flames behind them. A heavy long trench coat bellowed to the hard left on the man's single form as within his arms hung a near limp form of a unconscious petite figure that gave faint whimpers of pain and... shear sorrow? Zuranna was the first to react as she hearing the heartbeat pulsate from the petite woman, stepped forward with very uneasy steps on the slippery ground that still consisted of a fine mixture of blood and water downed dirt. "Alucard... is that... please... tell me... w... why does Seras have a heart beat, why does she.. give off the feel as a human!" Zuranna cried as she taking another step didn't flinch as the sky gave one final crash of lightening making the black smoke and bellowing flames glow blindly. With his own slow gait coming to a soft stop making mud squish out from underneath his brown boots, Alucard standing tall gave a direct forward stare with his fierce red eyes onto Zuranna's own through the near white curtain of snow. Donovan seeing his one time ally's stare, knew all to well. Anyone who knew of what truly took place this night; Seras wasn't dead, but she no longer was of the undead either.
--------------------
Loud screams rose all around making Seras snap back from the horrible memories of the past as the entire plane violently shuddered. His hand falling from her chin, Seras blinking, shot her eyes harshly to the small window she was sitting beside and paled greatly wishing she didn't see what her eyes saw.
Peering through the glass, a eye that glowed a cruel lacking pupil blazing yellow eye as large as a small car. Metal on the shell of the plane screamed as unseen claws cruelly stroked the metal making large curled shavings fall past the blanket of clouds below as the plane lurched violently side to side from the unwanted guest. Gasoline like blood, began to spill heavily from a underbelly gash caused from hind claws as the shadow encased massive monster roaring savagely, continued to stare right at Seras... and only Seras.
With the lights flickering heavily and the oxygen masks fell down just to lazily sway side to side before their panicking supposed users who didn't even take heed to the masks due to the sights through the windows. Huge leathery wings rose and fell keeping the plane aloft as the wings of the metal bird at some point had been savagely torn off leaving exposed sides of sparking machinery that leaked oil.
"Alucard..." Seras fell back hard pressing her body as hard as she could into his own as if to mold with him. Her body shook hard as the sight of that eye watching her with what seemed no soul, didn't blink as it watched her while the claws belonging to that soulless eye continued to cruelly caress the planes wounded metal form causing the metal to scream with the passengers held within. Two hands roughly fell onto Seras's shoulders helping ebb her terror as the man that semi cloaked her shivering form, peered forward with protective and evil red eyes as a small wicked sneer crossed over his lips exposing his fangs. "It seems, Maxwell's puppet found us instead." With those words spoken and a tight squeeze to her shoulders. Seras giving a loud cry fell back hard on the empty warm seat that had once contained her one time master, yet... her eyes laid upon where the eye had been as the creature having withdrawn, bellowed loudly in pain making all the windows crack loudly as a few shattered and made horrendous winds engulf the plane's innards that caused the panic to rise even more.
Yet as soon as the beast roared in pain...
"We're going to crash!"
The plane lurching forward hard, began to take a nose dive as its attacker's claws had been pried from the metal shell. As the humans panicked with shear terror and loud screams... "My Queen..." Seras sitting in Alucard's former seat, weakly looked over to her left as Inferno stood there cloaked in his black cloak and scythe in his boney savagely clawed left hand. With the color faintly returning to a very white face, Seras watched him as his eyes watched her own. Smiling in a odd cocky smirk, the dragon bowed his head to her petite form. "you had asked for my company to this foreign land we were to fly to... now I wouldn't be a good guardian if I were to let you die, now would I?" he chuckled as his body began to give of tendrils of black light.
Seras with weak eyes, watched him and smiled slightly, "you would still be a bad guardian if you let them all die..." she spoke as not far off, Striker grounding himself with his claws into the ground, protectively watched Anderson who cloaked his body over Sarina as Heinkel and Yumiko torn back from their slumber, looked around with terrified eyes... more so Yumiko then Heinkel. Ty had locked his body hard into his seat with his arms encasing a very frightened Alexial as Walter sheathed Integra's form with his own. All around, panicked humans wailed, cried, screamed, sat their silently waiting for death...
Hearing his dark chuckle, Seras looked back to Inferno as the black light on his form grew even more. "Yes... I would still be a bad guardian if I fail my queen's wish to let those around her live... everyone!" the dragon's bellowing voice and commanding aura drew all eyes onto his form as he continued to stare at the queen he served as his king was outside in the cloak of darkness shifting into multiple unhuman forms, battling the winged monster that had attacked them all in the first place.
"If you all want to live, sit down, buckle your seatbelts, and shut the fuck up!" the guardian roared as his body expanding, faded into the form of nothing but a pool of black light that began to bleed into the floor of the plane. Seras hearing his words and knowing this dragon all to well throughout the twenty years in the castle she called home, the woman rising tall, caught all eyes from everyone as black light began to fully consume the plane from the spot the guardian had melted into, causing sparks to flicker all around with the same black glow. Any black light falling over the shattered windows, the winds currents were savagely cut off allowing full pressure in the plane's cabin to return. As all watched her, it was a full agreement from all... what was to happen from here when it seemed all and any hope was nothing but a farce?
"you need not be afraid... we all need to remain calm to survive this... I will not let that thing kill us!" Seras spoke in a strong voice as upon her petite form, she carried herself with stubbornness and strength as the lights all being stroked by the dark lights caress of Inferno, flickered and with that to the sound of popping, all went out plunging all into darkness and causing more panicked cries to rise as the plane continued to plummet in a full out nose dive.
"All of ya, Silence!"
all voices both loud and quiet, became all soft as fearful eyes and those of Seras and her own allies and comrades stared over to the far back as Anderson having rose to his feet, stared fully at them all before him. There in front of him, Sarina stood with her shoulders cloaked in his hands that held her with a protective guard, her own blue eyes staring forward with fear as the plane shook violently making the oxygen masks to sway heavily about. "Better... now, if we die, we die... but yelling ain't going to do ya any good... and ya all should be grateful for that woman and 'er monster of a king who are trying ta save ya all... now pay heed to that dragon's words... sit down, buckle up and shut the hell up!" Anderson's voice boldly threw out the harsh words making all listen and indeed, pay heed to the words. The sound of bodies shifting and buckles clicking was like music to Seras's heart as she sighing weakly, looked timidly over to Anderson with a look she never thought to give him. With red eyes meting sapphire, Anderson understood all to well the young lass's eyes... the silent words she was giving him... Thank You.

Me: Yes indeed, it is getting dark, so tell me all how ya think, and more is once more again, promised to be on its way, but for now, Ja Na!
Everyone: ...
Me: (blinks) What? I only had a small amount of sugar!
