D-F: Hey again! Sorry about such a long time since my last update. I was in a bit of a slump in which I didn't really want to write this. But here we are! Thanks to everyone who is reading this and also to thost who are reading my Bleach fanfic. I'll try to update that one soon too. An without further ado, last time Dynasty was about to head off on her first solo mission. Will it turn into a disaster? Quite possibly! XD
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Hellsing or it's characters. I DO own Dynasty and other OCs that do not appear in Hellsing (Well duh, that's why they're OCs lol)
Chapter 11
Standing outside an old abandoned church Dynasty took a deep breath and sniffed the air. The foul stench of gouhls filled her nostrils making her nearly gag. She had found the FREAK vamp terrorizing the small village west of the church and with only slight effort had lopped off his head. She then followed the scent of rotting flesh back to this church where she knew the ghouls were hiding, waiting for their master to return.
"Sorry to tell you but you're master's not coming back." She said to no one in particular and entered through the broken doors of the church. The small girl crept along quietly, her senses all alert for any sign of the hoard of undead that were sure to notice her presnece soon. She heard a low rumble and suddenly they all leaped up and attacked at once.
"How do you think Miss Feral is doing on her first solo mission Sir?" Walter inquired as he poured his employer's tea. Integra glanced at the clock, it had been nearly two hours since Dynasty had left. Of course there was no need to worry, the village she had been sent to was quite a ways away. And they all knew it could prove difficult to deal with a hoard of ghouls unless the person dealing with them was Alucard. Still, the girl was known to be a tad reckless at times. "I'm sure she will be fine Walter." The old butler nodded in agreement. Thoughts of doubt still found their way into the Hellsing leader's mind though. Dynasty you had better not get into any trouble out there.
Seras sat in her room staring at an old photo of her and the men she had worked with when she was still human. The blonde vampire was also avoiding the ice-filled pail sitting on the table in the center of her room. Even though she did drink the blood given to her she still had problems with it. It wasn't that she hated it either, it scared her more that she liked the taste. Her master was right, she just couldn't let go of her humanity. "You're an idiot." A deep voice jolted her out of her thoughts and she nearly jumped two feet into the air. "I wish you'd stop doing that master." She snapped at the red clad vampire standing beside her table.
The vampire growled while staring at his fledgling with a menacing glare. The Police Girl was spending too much time with the brat, it was beginnign to influence her to talk back to him. "You are almost as bad as that stupid child." He insulted the poor blonde vampire. She sighed in reply and stood up, taking the blood packet from the pail making a point to rip it open and slurp noisily. Alucard rolled his eyes. Why oh why did she have to be like that? He could see her hanging on to the last of her humanity for the first month or two, but it had been much longer than that and she still wouldn't accept what she was. "Master, are you still mad at Dynasty?" Seras inquired innocently after she had finished the blood.
Alucard once again growled. How he hated that name and that girl. At least that's what he made himself believe. Laying in his coffin during the day the vampire couldn't escape thoughts of her, but whatever he may have felt towards her before where now pushed completely away thanks to her actions. His silence gave Seras her answer. "You know master, she really did mean well when she did that even if she hadn't thought about the consequences." The young vampire stated, making the elder vampire grunt as he evaporated into the shadows. Seras rolled her eyes. How typical of her master, he really could be childish sometimes. I heard that. Came the hissed thought in her mind. She chuckled as she went to meet Pip.
Dynasty had drawn both swords and was swinging wildly at the ghouls, chopping their rotting limbs off and destroying them. She'd taken them all out, or at least that's what she thought when something grabbed her from behind. The halfling didn't have time to react as the ghoul that held her opened it's mouth and chomped down on her shoulder, drawing a scream of pain and quite a bit of blood. The Hellsing employee dropped Mahari and grabbed the black bladed dagger, twisting and driving the blade straight into the heart of the monster.
The ghoul disintegrated as blood poured down Dynasty's arm and pooled on the floor at her feet. "Damn, that can't be good." She hissed as she looked at the bite mark that had begun to turn greenish-purple. She tore a piece of cloth from an old curtain and wrapped it around the wound. It was already looking infected so a few more germs weren't going to make a difference. I'll clean it up later when I get back. Her mission was now done, all the ghouls and the vamp were fully dead and not coming back again. "Rest in Peace." Dynasty muttered as she left the church and began the trip back to the Hellsing mansion.
By the time she got back to Hellsing Dynasty's entire arm was numb. "I should probably ask one of Hellsing's doctors to look at that for me." She commented as she rubbed her arm. "How bad is it?" A voice asked from behind her. Dynasty screamed and tripped, ending in a faceplant on the floor. She turned to see Walter standing there a small grin playing across his face while his eyes showed his concern. The girl got up from the floor saying, "It's just a bite wound Walter, nothing too bad." Walter nodded, then his eyes widened in shock. "Were you bitten by a ghoul?" He asked his voice laced with worry. Dynasty nodded completely unconcerned. "Did the bite break your skin and draw blood?" Again the girl nodded complteley oblivious to any problems that may have caused. "You'ld better get that looked at right away then, I have to go speak with Integra. I'll let her know you're back and the mission was successful." Dynasty nodded, still not realizing that Walter was in a slight state of panic.
Walter raced up the stairs as Dynasty made her way to the infirmiry. She knew her way there like the back of her hand as she'd spent quite a lot of time there since returning to the Hellsing branch in England. I've become a major klutz! She thought to herself. Just then she froze, feeling a presense behind her. Oh that's just great, it's him. Dynasty really didn't want to deal with the vampire tonight. Her arm was completely dead and she was exhausted beyond exhaustion, if Walter hadn't told her to go straight to the infirmiry she'd have gone straight to bed. Without turning around she asked, "What do you want?" Alucard growled, "Don't take that tone with me pet." Dynasty turned on her heel to glare at him. "I am not your pet, and I'll take whatever tone I want with you." She said slowly and with words dripping with venom.
That's when Alucard lost his temper. He grabbed the halfling by the throat and slammed her up against the wall. He held her about a foot or two off the floor and squeezed hard, cuting off her airway. Dynasty tried to loosen his grip but it was in vain. Alucard brought his face close to the girl's, so close that their noses nearly touched. Dynasty felt her heart-rate speed up, was it from the elder vampire's closeness? It could have been because she couldn't breathe. Alucard held her glare, his scarlet eyes burning into her brown and red ones. That's when something caught his attention. The No Life King tore his gaze from her eyes to her shoulder where a crude bandage was roughly tied, blood seeping through. He could smell ghoul all over it and knew what would eventually happen.
She will become my puppet for sure now. He thought as he let her drop to the floor. Dynasty fell limp on the tiled floor, her breath coming back in short gasps. Alucard looked at her mockingly, she had to breath whereas he a true vampire did not. "You might want to get that properly looked at before something bad happens." He advised in that smug 'I'm a true vampire therefore I'm so much better than you' way he had. Dynasty glared at him, her heart still pounding as the vampire faded back into the shadows.
She stood back up grumbling, "Oh I'll get it checked out alright, but only 'cause Walter told me to. Stupid vamp." She knew she'd have been shot for that last remark, really she didn't care. All Dynasty wanted to do was to get her heart-rate back to normal. When Alucard was staring at her she could feel the blood rush to her head and it was as if a million butterflies had taken up residence in her stomach. I must be insane or something to be having feelings for that creature. The girl walked into the infirmiry and asked the closest doctor if he wasn't busy to check out her arm, all the while wondering what she was going to do about her stupid school-girl crush.
"She was bitten by a what?" Integra shouted, nearly knocking everything off her desk. When Walter came in and told her that Dynasty's first mission went well Integra was quite pleased, though she was postivie that the girl would do well. However when the former Angel of Death uttered that part about Dynasty being bitten by a ghoul Integra couldn't, wouldn't believe it. How could that halfling let this happen? Didn't she know what would happen if a ghoul bit a vampire? Of course it would have been fine if the monster hadn't broken the skin, hadn't drawn blood. But of course that had had to happen, now they were in for it, especially if Dynasty refused to do what she had to do. "Walter, once Dynasty is finished in the infirmiry please get her, Seras, and Alucard into my office. We are going to need to have a talk." Walter nodded and bowed, "Yes Sir."
