Chapter 13 addiction
The top of the mansion served as a viewpoint to gaze off into the dark sky. Seras' blue eyes never blinked as she was star gazing. Seras, what are you doing up here? Gasping Seras whirled around to the French accent of a certain mercenary. I'm just looking at the stars, replied Seras. You don't look so good, said Pip. I've just been thinking, said Seras softly, one eye looking at the ground below. Mind if I ask? It's just that ever since I was brought here I was mistreated and mocked like a used toy. I'm never noticed for the work I do, and the only person that was close enough to family since I got here is Walter and there's even times where I sense even he doesn't trust me. Then there's master who taunts me to drink blood and calls me an idiotic police girl for refusing to do it.
I never really liked that musketeer looking guy anyway replied Pip taking a puff on his cigarette. He would probably shoot you if he heard you saying that about him, chuckled Seras. If it means standing up for my girlie, hell he can shoot me twice. I'm not you're girlie Pip, scowled Seras. I just want to tease you a little, said Pip like a two year old. Seras looked at the ground below with two eyes now, Pip, if I fell off of here do you think I would survive? Pip stopped smiling, what are you getting at Seras? You know, if I fell and I didn't even try to make a landing do you think I'd survive? How about you drop it and get off the ledge, growled Pip. Oh what so now you want to boss me around now to, asked Seras? Is that seriously what this is all about, yelled Pip? I'm miserable in this life and I want it to go away, yelled Seras back. Killing you're self isn't going to fix anything Seras. Well what if you're wrong asked Seras? You don't even know half of the crap I've gone through in my life. The past is the past Seras, you need to think about you're future, yelled Pip, his voice was getting raspy. Why are you even trying to stop me, asked Seras? Because I care about you, answered Pip. The wind was picking up at a steady pace. You give me feelings I can't explain, Exclaimed Pip, being around you is more addicting than any cigarette I could possibly have. If you care for me so much then why are you always a perverted asshole, yelled Seras? I did it to make you strong, to help you endure, croaked Pip. Maybe this happened to you because you were meant to do great things. Seras stared at him with a look of disbelief, she didn't know what to say or how to react. Please Seras, said Pip holding out his hand, give me a chance to help you.
Seras could see the tears begin to roll down his eye. Like an unsure animal, Seras slowly stepped towards him. having finally stepped off the ledge Seras and Pip embraced each other on their knees like a father who greets his son when he comes home from a business trip. Seras couldn't help it, she cried into his shirt in a way she had never cried before. Pips shirt had the biggest spot of tears on it he had ever seen but still he continued to let her cry. Shh it's going to be all right Seras, just let it out. He ran his hand through her soft hair and caressed the dark yellow fabric that covered her back. Would it make you feel better if I let you borrow my bed for the night, asked Pip soothingly? Normally Seras would have said no to an offering like that but giving that he was offering her comfort and care instead of saying it in an odd way, she instead replied with a swift nod of her head as she continued to sob. Okay follow me and I'll get it ready as a royal treat just for you.
Pip led Seras through the long corridors to his room, gently squeezing her hand as they trailed along. Hey captain, man, how ya doing, Deryl I don't have time to screw around right now, said Pip putting his hand to his face. What's going on here, asked Roger as he came out of his room to investigate the chatter? I'm taking this poor busy soul to a comfortable bed, replied Pip. she's had a rough day. Aren't you only gonna make it rougher, said Deryl raising his eyebrows. Fuck off alright, yelled Pip raising his middle finger, it's ass fucks like you that put her in this mood. Pip nudged Seras, come on girlie lets get you a good night sleep. What's up with him, asked Roger puzzled? I'm to drunk to even understand life, replied Deryl.
Pip lay Seras on his bed and pulled the sheets over her. Pip, asked Seras? Yes my sweet girlie, answered Pip. Thank you, for everything you've done for me tonight, said Seras in a whisper. Her blue eyes were still visible behind her bangs. No need to thank me, said Pip. You're my mignonette, and I'm always there for my mignonette. He leaned down and gave her a light, fatherly kiss on the forehead, now get some sleep Seras you've done more than enough to earn it. for once in her lifetime at the Hellsing Manor, Seras Victoria had found a reason to be happy. She had found a friend that night.
Ghughh, The eerie hospital lights blinded her as she groggily woke up. What bloody time is it, asked Seras as she pulled Dayne's phone from her breast pocket? She forgot to give it back to him. She flipped it open and checked the time, 5:47 P.M., we should be checking out by now. She took a very long nap, she could still remember that dream, that memory. She looked over to the hospital bed where Dayne lay. He was such a good man. He never stopped caring for her. Sure he had his problems but it's not like she didn't have any problems either. Their pasts haunted them both, their family's were gone but they still had each other. She couldn't get the fact of why they slept together though. They didn't have sex, the just cuddled a little bit. What made it even stranger was that she didn't act this way around men. Did some part of Pip rub off onto her when she drank his blood? Before that she was an erotophobic vampire, she had no desire whatsoever to even go near a guy, that is until Pip.
She looked over to Dayne, sleeping in the bed like a baby until a nurse walked in. Okay it looks like it's time to take that cathader out. Imediately Dayne woke up and let out a long panicked scream, Seras had to cover her ears.
Sorry it took so long. I had a severe case of writers block. So read, enjoy, and don't forget to review.
