The first thing you usually see when you wake up are sheets or something else, right?
Not for me.
I woke up to see a pale man staring directly at me, and he was smiling so wide I thought his face might chop in two. To top it all off, he had fangs and red eyes. A vampire. I sprung up, keeping myself from screaming. I mean, wouldn't you scream if you woke up to see a corpse sitting on the edge of your bed? I stared at him for a moment, then looked around the room. It was a nice place, the windows showed that the moon was still high in the sky.
"Welcome back to consciousness." A woman's voice said. I looked for the source. I saw an older man with a young lady next to him. The lady was wearing a suit and smoking a cigar. I gave the tobacco a strange look, then looked back at her.
"Where am I?" I asked. My head was still hurting at the time. The woman closed her eyes.
"You are in the infirmary of the Hellsing mansion." she answered, taking a drag from her cigar. "I'm allowing you to stay here until your injuries heal up. Your mother has informed me that she will take care of everything at home. I believe she is straightening out the issue with your friend Catherine."
The very mention of the name made me hang my head. I didn't let the tears fall, but I knew they wanted out. The vampire moved closer.
"In fact, from what I've heard, your mother insists you stay until your wounds heal. She told me that paying the hospital bill would be too much of a hassle." The woman continued. I realised what she said.
"Wait, what wounds?" I asked confusedly. You and I both know that when you first wake up from being knocked out you can't remember for a bit. The woman took my arm and pulled up my sleeve. There were cuts here and there. Then she handed me a mirror. I looked my reflection, shocked. My entire face was covered in gashes and on my neck were two faint holes. I gasped. He couldn't have bitten me...could he? The man - no, vampire - next to me chuckled.
"He didn't even get the vein. FREAKS are becoming less and less intelligent by the minute." he laughed. The woman sighed.
"Yes, they do appear to be. Alucard, come with me. I need to talk to you." My eyes widened. It didn't take long for the name to register in my head.
"Alucard...that's Dracula backwards!" I stated. The vampire looked at me as he walked away.
"Yes, yes it is." he smiled in amusement. I watched him leave, and then there was only the older man and me.
"May I ask, um, who are you?" I pondered. The man opened his eye.
"I am Walter C. Dornez, retainer to the Hellsing organization. Better known as the butler." he answered professionally. I forced a smile.
"I'm Rikki Myran. Umm, thank you for being here? I really don't understand anything much yet..." I murmured. The butler smiled in a way that made everything feel calm.
After being granted permission from Sir Integral, I wandered through the manor for a while. I explored many rooms, including the dining hall, the kitchen, and the library. It was a fairly regular sized manor, of course, at the time, everything seemed huge, mainly because I had never been inside a manor before. I even wandered into a room in the basement with a coffin inside and not much else. Being the curious person I was I lifted the lid. What I found changed my views of the supernatural sort forever. Lying in the coffin was a woman with reddish blond hair. She was pale, and she didn't seem to be breathing. I poked her gently, because I was rude like that. Her eyes fluttered open, but closed immediately.
"Nnnnn...Master, go away. I'm trying to sleep..." She whined. I cocked my head at the word 'master'. Who was she addressing? I continued poking her until she shot up and proceeded to. . .
Well, she punched me square in the face.
I flew backwards and into the stony wall, yelping in pain. For God's sake, she was strong! I was unsure of whether or not she had fractured my skull. I staggered up and looked over, my vision blurry due to the blood from my cuts opening back up. The girl gasped as she hopped out of the coffin.
"Oh, my lord! I'm sorry! Did I break something? I'm incredibly sorry! Are you alright?" She kept apologizing. I pushed her away. She looked at me. Her eyes were blue, like mine, but as I looked closer, I notice one other thing:
Fangs.
"Bloody vampire!" I screeched. "Why does there seem to be a vampire rounding the corner everywhere I go here?! First Alucard, now you, and-" the woman cut me off by taking my shoulder.
"Are you alright?" She demanded. There was a look in her eyes that made her appear almost afraid of what I might do next. I was forced to look at what was in front of me. God, she had large breasts for her age. I looked back at her. She definitely appeared nicer than Alucard did.
"I'm fine, just some cuts opened up is all. I'll fix them up. Who are you?" I murmured.
"My name is Seras Victoria." The woman answered. I sighed. "Are you a new recruit or something?" she inquired. I shook my head.
"Sir Integral is allowing me to stay here until my wounds heal up." I grumbled. I wanted out, but that wasn't happening. At the mention of my wounds healing, a black mass slowly formed in the wall. It materialized into the form of Alucard, minus the insanely large hat and orange sunglasses. I shuddered.
"Master, what are you doing?" Seras asked.
"Just checking in my fledgling. I heard that you were awake, and simply I came to see what woke you. Is there anything wrong with that?" I fumed.
"Yes there is something wrong with that! What proper gentleman in the right bloody mind would barge into a woman's room unannounced and without knocking?" I yelled, looking for something to hurl at him. He walked over and picked me up by the scruff of my collar.
"My my, aren't you feisty. Don't get too exited or all of your cuts will open back up." he chuckled, seemingly amused at watching me flail. I sighed, waiting for him to put me back down. As he did, I ran out of the room and closed the door just as Alucard mentioned blood to Seras. I propped myself on the wall and slid down to the floor. Taking in the smell of manor-basement, I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep. As I slept, I dreamt of myself in Sir Integral's office, giving some kind of order to Alucard. He referred to ma as Master, and I woke with a start.
I'm stuck in a manor with a gender-confused lady, two crazy vampires, and a butler that has the same last name as my history teacher. This is going to be fun.
