Awaken

I did not want to open my eyes. The pain in my body was unbearable. I could feel how the warm blood under my body tried to warm my dyeing, cold flesh. My death was inevitable if I would stay here. It stretched its long hand and caught me. What possible could I do? Run from it? My weaken body was too tired to even open my mouth and yell for help. Where was he right now? Could he actually save me? I never was a proper vampire. He hated me, it would be better for him if I would die, wouldn`t it?

"You will die girl!" I tried to open my eyes, but only made a whimper of pain. That thing was much stronger than me. It could easily break my body in two. "Where is he?" I tried to answer his question, but felt a sharp pain in the stomach. Was he trying to cut me again?

"Stop!" The voice I had lost found its way out with a new pang. His claws went dipper in my flesh and I cried again. My eyes opened instantly when I felt his hand spreading my bruised legs. I tried to hit him, but he caught my arms in his grip. "Don`t touch me!"

"Why not? Such a beautiful body should not be wasted". I could fell his finger slip inside me. I felt the tears running down my cheeks. "A virgin?!" He laughed. "Alucard never have touched you! Now that is interesting! Well that does not mean I cannot change that". He caught one of my breasts and started to roughly squeeze it.

I felt the anger building up in me. The wish to tear the damn vampire before me was enormous. My eyes turned deep red and the strength I lost from the torture slowly made its way back to my body. I knew it would be impossible to gather enough strength to stop him, but maybe I could win some time. That was all I needed to get to the table and get the silver knife. I hit him in the stomach and rolled over to the table. My hand encompassed the handle and in the next second the silver blade went inside the vampires head with a force that cracked his skull. I crawled from underneath him and watched his body shake. I knew he was no ordinary vampire and to kill him I had to do more than that. Looking at the table once more I took a huge torture knife he earlier used on me. I raised it and chopped off his head. "Die you trash!" I felt the warm scent of vampire blood and could not stop myself from kneeling and soaking my right arm into it. I licked the fingers and felt the pain getting lighter. He was an ancient vampire. His blood was something that could turn me into something I did not want to become, but at that moment I did not care. I wanted to save myself, to get stronger and find a way out of this hell.

A whistle disturbed me from the blood and I looked at my master standing behind me. He was soaked in blood and his glasses and hat was missing. But if I was covered in my own blood Alucard was not even injured. I opened my mouth to speak, but felt a difference in the current state of my body, mind and soul. I looked at Alucard as though he was my equal not a master. Slowly I looked at the dead vampire lying on the ground and could only find one explanation. "He drank your blood". Alucards grin only became wider.

"That was a long time ago. I was still an ancient vampire. I was the one who made him". His voice was deep and cold, but his face showed how amused he was. "You do have some nerves to take my fun away, police girl". He smirked seeing my face getting red.

"Exactly how long have you been here, Alucard?" His grin became even wider if that was possible.

"From the part you broke Alcazars skull with that thing". He took the silver knife out and gave it to me.

"Oh, right". I felt better when understood that he had not seen the entire scene from the beginning. I tried to get up, but felt weak. My legs betrayed me and I almost felt. Alucard caught me and lay on the ground. "What should I do now? Can I still be a part of Hellsing organization?"

"Rest, police girl. I will answer all of your questions later". Those were the last words I heard from him before falling asleep.

"How long will she sleep, Alucard?" Integra looked at the girl on the mattress under the glass wall.

"A decade least". Alucard was silent for a moment admiring Seras. "She will change".

"What do you mean?" Integra was furious with his words. They have just lost a good backup for the missions that would still to come. With Seras Victoria the troops have grown, but now when she was at no state to help them Alucard would not think of helping the soldiers.

"What I just said. I do not know how exactly. Her appearance and strength, but her heart, mind and soul will still stay the same". He answered. Integra once again glanced at the vampire. "Seras should have never tasted that blood. It is full of hatred towards me". Integra felt he said that words more to himself than her. His gaze was instance and he was thinking of something.

"If she cannot be trusted we should kill the girl". Integra reached out for the button, but her hand was caught by Alucard.

"I would personally make everything to make the girl useful to organization, master". He smirked. "Try to kill her again and I will do everything in my power to make your worthless organization disappear from the face of this world". Integra felt goose bumps running down her spine. "She is mine!"

"Walter, you shouldn`t have got up from bed in your current state!" Integra helped the butler to sit down and smiled warmly.

"Sir Integra, I cannot lie in bed all day. I feel so bored and useless". Walter lightly smiled, but an attack of cough hit his lungs.

"Walter are you alright?" He looked so tiered. She knew that as strong as he was Walter could not win over the approaching time of his death. He was an old man, but his spirit never changed over the years. "Alucard!"

"I am here. Let me take him back". Integra was a bit amazed how he took the old man in his arms. He really cared about Walter although he never showed that until now. "You should come see him more. He worries about you". Integra saw them off and closed the door.

"You should behave Walt! You are becoming even worse than me". Alucard smiled looking at his friend.

"That is impossible Alucard, I can barely walk". Walter was ashamed of being unable to get to his room. "I will die soon, my friend. You know the only thing I feel sorry about is not seeing Seras Victoria for the last time. When was the last time you went down to see her? Is everything fine?"

"I will go check on her today after I take you back". He smirked putting Walter on the couch in his room. "And now be a good old man and stop worrying everyone". Alucard disappeared. He stood in front of the door behind which Seras was placed all these years. He could feel some strange amount of energy. Could she really be waking? Alucard twisted the handle and went in. She was behind the glass. Her white skin was paler that he remembered. He knew that she would change, but her face with a childish expression stayed the same, her hair got longer over the years and felt over the edge of the mattress. She looked so peaceful, so young and never before so desirable. He licked his lips just looking at her made him want to taste her lips, feel her scent, touch her silk skin.

"Wake up, Seras". He whispered. "Please, wake up." How long was it? He thought she would sleep for ten years, but he was wrong. After the tenth year he was beginning to worry, after fifteenth he was feeling so doomed that he came almost every day to see her. After twentieth he thought she would never wake up. He tried not to come back anymore, but failed. Tried to stop himself from mentally going down each night and listen to her heart beat, but that was also impossible. After forty years of waiting for her he started to try everything to wake her, but nothing helped. She was still asleep. Somewhere far away from him where he could never reach her no matter how much he tried.

He opened the door to her chamber and sat on the mattress taking her small hand in his. He kissed her palm and smiled at her. How stupid was he? Forty years of waiting and he still did not given up on her. Alucard never felt love to anyone, but wasn't the feelings for her closer to that words humans used to express their feeling to one another. He could write it down to lust in the first ten years while she was gone. He wanted her then, but the more time passed the more he started to feel deeper for Seras. He laughed. What was happening to him. Maybe centuries ago he could still say that there were people that he cared about and loved, but as more time passed, as more thing he have seen, as more stronger he got he has changed. He forgot how to feel, but this girl awoken something long kept asleep – his heart.

"Yes, I think I do love you Seras Victoria".
