Ch 3: Enemy

Special thanks to Aicerkul for being my first reviewer. I always appreciate the support!

-----------------------------------------

Cele rolled over, her eyes blinked open…the standard darkness appeared, if that was what darkness looked like. She was still lying on top of the large crate, her legs curled up almost to her chest. A gentle weight was set on top of her, what was that thing? She touched the thick material, a coat? Yes it had to be that vampire's long coat. He was kind enough to give it to her when she fell asleep.

She pushed the coat off her shoulders and pulled herself into a sitting position, suddenly the rush of feelings from last night returned to her. She tensed and shoved away the coat, how could she accept his generosity after what he put her through yesterday? However, he has been her only protection from those 'things' swarming the ship and he didn't exactly rape her. He was a vampire after all; they fed off of humans. Cele's hand rose to the spot on her neck where he had bitten her. Blood had dried to her skin and peeled off in tiny pieces when her fingers traced over. Two deep punctures aligned with her collarbone, blood clots already formed to seal off the injury.

Cele slid off the crate, her bare feet touched the cold metal flooring and she cringed. Where was the vampire this moment, he hadn't said a word since she awakened. Did he leave her on her own?

She stretched her arms out in front of her, letting her hands run along the crates. Occasionally she would touched a splintered piece of wood and pull her hand back. She felt nothing but crates and metal running along the walls. Ten minutes of exploring her surroundings, she came across one of the vampire's gloved hands and nearly fell backwards from surprise. At first she thought it was another corpse because he produced no body heat. Regaining some courage, Cele touched each individual finger wondering what this guy looked like. His hand remained still as she inspected him, he must have been sleeping.

His fingers were long, matching a large palm. Traveling up his forearm was easily accomplished. Her wore a long sleeved shirt underneath that coat of his. Cele continued up, finally reaching his shoulder. She could feel the muscles through the cotton material; he was so masculine…broad shouldered.

So this was the body of the man who lay on top of her last night. Her small hands wandered to his throat, careful not to push down. The collar of his shirt ended and skin began. He was so cold to the touch, almost icy; but the skin itself was smooth. A little further up, she arrived at his jaw line and suddenly felt his facial features move and she heard him release a soft chuckle. Her hands flew off of him and she backed away.

The vampire rustled and shifted himself upright, "Did you enjoy that girl? I certainly did."

"You are such a pervert," she retorted.

"I'm not the one getting all touchy feely while you were asleep."

"You were awake the whole time weren't you?" A light shade of red appeared across her face, almost unnoticeable.

"I was curious to see what you would do," he said. Alucard hopped off his makeshift bed and strolled over to collect his coat. "We need to move on, girl. No more dawdling, I have two vampires to catch."

"Um…yeah sure…but," she began.

"But?" He waited for her response.

"I'm in need of a restroom first…" she admitted.

"Humans are a pain…" he muttered.

------------------------------------------

"Where is he?"

"I'm sorry Sir, the ship's location is unknown. The cruise liner's communication equipment has been cut off. The United States has already begun rescue operations and the coast guard will begin searching by helicopter. Hopefully the ship has not drifted too far out to sea."

The blond woman chewed on the end of her cigar, arms crossed against her chest, "Walter, prepare flight arrangements to the U.S, we're going to find our vampire."

"Yes Sir Integra."

------------------------------------------

Tears streamed down her cheeks as she followed Alucard to the upper levels of the ship. The sadness had finally sunk into her, before then she was under so much pressure that she didn't have time to think about Robyn's death. Cele clung onto the back of the vampire's coat. He seemed to be rushing.

She sniffed and wiped her tears out of her eyes, but more seemed to come and they trickled down, staining her skin.

Alucard could sense her sadness; she hasn't said a word since they left the cargo hold. He could have said something nice to her, but her problems were hers and he didn't need to involve himself. He still had a job to do.

They finally reached the bridge of the ship and Alucard felt it necessary to hide Cele, she posed too much of a risk to keep her with him. He dragged her into the captain's quarters, "Stay in here, I don't need roaming around looking like a hot lunch."

Cele said nothing, not only because of her sadness, but she was shivering pretty badly. The further out to sea they went, the cooler it got and she was wearing only a thin layer tank top and cotton pajama bottoms.

"Geez, how far have we drifted?" Alucard wondered. It was only a matter of time before his master would send Hellsing authorities to locate him. He took off his overcoat and placed it around her shoulders. She automatically tugged the fabric around her tightly and slid her arms down the sleeves.

Before exiting the captain's cabin, Alucard removed his Jackal from one of the coat pockets. The task should only require one gun. These two vampires were obviously afraid of him, what a simple mission…almost pathetic. "Stay put," he'd said one more time to Cele.

No argument there, she had no intention of leaving. She squeezed herself into a corner of the room, sitting between a desk that was knocked over and the wall. Her arms hugged her knees to her chest. She finally stopped crying and decided to search the interior of Alucard's coat to get her mind off of things. There were several empty pockets save for one, something heavy lie within it. Cele dipped her hand inside and felt cold steel. It was long and blunt on both ends.

"A gun?" She picked up the weapon; it was so heavy. Why would that vampire leave something like this with her? It would be best to just leave it alone.

Twenty minutes later…

Still no sign of Alucard, he must have found the enemy already or something. Cele let her head rest against the wall. It seemed like forever since anything happened, he should be back soon right?

The cabin door flung open, startling her and she quickly got to her feet. "Is that you, vampire?" she called out.

No response.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!"

Still nothing, but she could hear footsteps coming towards her.

"Um, please say something…you're beginning to scare me." She took two steps forward, "Are you there?" One hand reached out front of her; she tried to feel for Alucard.

She heard chuckling, which was something that Alucard did frequently but this sounded different and she froze, "W….who…"

"My dear, you're blind aren't you?"

Cele's voice wouldn't work, her legs were stiff, and she was too frightened to move.

It was a male vampire and the tone of his voice was sarcastic, filled to the brim with evil intentions.

"Y...you're the one that killed…everyone…" she managed to get out.

"Yeah…me and my associate…" he laughed, "Everyone dies someday, I just…hastened their deaths."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Why? I suppose it's because I enjoy it, they all die. I'm addicted to killing."

Cele backed into a wall, trying to put as much distance between them.

"And now young lady, you will also become one of the many victims. The question is, how in the world did you survive for so long, my ghouls should have taken care of you."

Cele swallowed hard, he was stepping closer to her, "Stay away!" she shouted.

"Who's going to stop me? You?"

In a burst of speed, the vampire disappeared, leaving Cele confused for a moment when she heard no one but herself in the room. She then forced herself to walk backwards into the same corner by the captain's desk, but she bumped into something…make that someone. She gasped, it was a cold body…more like the vampire's cold body.

"No!" she yelped and tried to get away from him but he grabbed onto her arm and yanked her body into his. He held her tightly with one arm and used his other to lift the desk nearby and place it upright.

"It's been a long time since I've had a human woman like this. I think I'll take advantage of the situation," he mused. He then pushed her onto the desk, her belly squashed against the wooden surface.

"No! No don't, please!" She struggled against him and even kicked him straight in the knee, forcing his leg to bend backwards. He let out a minor grunt from the pain but the injury didn't seem to faze him.

"You like it rough I see, well then you're in for a real treat," he said harshly. He forced up the back of Alucard's coat, it tumbled over Cele's head. She maneuvered herself out of the coat so she could continue fighting to get him off. He then tore at her cotton bottoms, tearing down through the middle and ripping away the fabric. She felt a cold draft against her legs. The only protection she now had was her panties, but those were easily removed. He shredded them away from her skin and forced one of his legs between her thighs. "I think you'll love what's to come, girl."

Cele panicked, she couldn't let him do this to her! Tears stung her eyes. There was only one thing she could do to save her dignity and she reached out for Alucard's coat. The desk was so large and she wasn't sure exactly where it got pushed.

The vampire was busy undoing his pants to notice her reaching out. Cele finally managed to find the red coat. She pulled it to her chest and began to dig through it, looking for the gun left inside. She could feel the weapon through the fabric but getting it out was a problem.

Then it happened, two very icy fingers penetrated her core roughly and she cried out. Her pleas were egging the vampire on. It was seconds before he would force his 'other' appendage into her. She ignored his fingers, knowing the gun was so close.

He then pressed into her back, his weight too much for her and she was smashed once again into the desk. Her hands were fussing through the coat and he noticed.

"What are you doing girl? Let me help keep those hands busy," and he grabbed onto one of them and forced it behind her back. She wouldn't let him get the other and she dove her hand into the inside of the coat one last time.

His length was so close to her warm insides and he used his leg to separate hers. His face was resting on her left shoulder, ready to take a bite of her neck while he raped her.

"You'll be another ghoul for me to play with," he spat out.

This was it, he revealed his fangs and let his teeth graze on her shoulder.

She found what she was looking for and immediately pointed the weapon over her shoulder and into his face, yanking hard on the trigger and releasing a deafening scream.

---------------------------------

No signs…not a single one…damn it! Alucard spent forty-five minutes looking for the bastards along the ship's bridge and upper levels. Clearly these two were power hungry cowards who wouldn't face him. He would be sure to kill them slowly when he located them.

He probably shouldn't leave the girl for too long, eventually she'll panic and get into trouble…standard human emotions, so pathetic.

A scream rang through the air as if right on cue…

"Figures…" he said aloud and took off towards the captain's cabin.

He forced open the door and found the girl huddled in the corner of the room, holding Casull in her small hand. Her face was buried in her knees and her hair a ragged mess spilling down her back. She also happened to be partially naked…

Alucard heard a gagging sound from the other end of the room and faced the struggling vampire who lay crippled. "Ah…so this is where you've been hiding, mighty brave of you to attack a weak human girl," heavy sarcasm in his voice. He looked at the girl again, "Nice one girl, you make pretty good bait not to mention you got a lucky shot."

The gasping vampire tried to roll himself over but to no avail. Blood seeped out of the gash in his skull and spilled to the floor in a deep burgundy puddle. He spat out between gasps, "I'm not…the one you…need to worry…about."

Alucard smiled and pointed Jackal at the suffering vampire's chest and released several bullets into his heart. With the vampire now silenced, Alucard could move on to the girl. She was squeezing Casull tightly; he actually had to wrench it from her hand.

"I'm impressed, humans usually can't handle a gun of this caliber. You must have been really scared, pumped full of adrenaline to be able to fire this." He picked up his coat from the floor and put it across her shoulders, "I think you'll be needing this until we can get you new clothes…unless you prefer to walk around butt naked."

Cele looked up from her sitting position and gave him the dirtiest look possible, "You are as bad as that vampire you just killed. If I could see you, I'd smack you hard across the face."

"That vampire was a low life scumbag. I'll never stoop as low as he has…killing innocents…disgusting. We have one more vampire to worry about, on your feet girl."

Cele dragged herself to her feet, but because she had the coat on, Alucard reached for her elbow and brought her close to his torso.

"You confuse the hell out of me vampire…"

"How so?"

"One moment you're kind to me and the next…a raving mad and lustful teenager who insults me or refers to me as bait. Do you have multiple personalities?"

He yanked her closer to his torso, squishing her shoulders between his arm and chest, "I think I'll leave you to your imagination…if you should have one of those."

She elbowed him in the ribs for that comment.

As the two of them left the bridge, they didn't realize that they were being watched.

----------------------------------

"Here, put these on, they should be your size."

A pair of jeans landed in Cele's lap and she picked up the clothing, "I really want a bath…I feel disgusting."

"Fine. To your left there's a doorway."

Alucard managed to find a cabin that was untouched by ghouls. It was occupied by a woman before the attack so Cele shouldn't have any trouble finding something to wear…or he shouldn't since he was her eyes.

Cele stumbled around inside the bathroom and found what felt like a cosmetic bag. Plus there were complimentary soaps, shampoos, and conditioners…but she would have to do some guesswork, as to which was which. Lastly she found a package containing a razor blade, perfectly brand new. Cruise liners sure knew how to treat a first class passenger.

The water was cold but refreshing, she spent an ample amount of time testing the soaps and figured out everything. She was freshly washed and shaved her legs because she felt like a yeti. She didn't want to leave the shower just yet and stood with her back to the tiled wall letting the droplets strike her breasts. Her skin was firm and covered in goose bumps.

Her hair clung to her shoulders, the curls straightened out from being soaked. She relaxed so much that she could have fallen asleep standing up. It was getting to the point where a bed sounded wonderful…a nap would do her some good. She was about to exit the shower when she felt two arms wrap around her waist.

"Oh my god, what's wrong with you!" she shouted and tried her best to cover up her chest. Alucard was standing in the shower with her, not bothered by the fact that he was getting soaked as well.

"Relax, you've got nothing that I haven't seen before. Besides…I'm thirsty and think I deserve a little snack."

"You pig!"

"Call me whatever you like, but you own me for playing the role of your protector and as a set of eyes. "

"I never asked you to do this…"

"Would you rather I left you alone on the ship," he questioned.

"It won't be the first time you've done it," she said angrily, referring to the day's events.

She could feel an additional set of arms wrapping around her body, "How many arms do you have!"

"As many as I need." He tore her arms away from her chest and held them at her back, "Walk forward," he demanded and pushed her wrists into her back.

Cele stepped out of the shower, humiliated that she was wearing nothing in front of a stranger. She could feel his eyes roaming all over her. "Why are you doing this to me?"

"Because you're the only human left on the ship," he mused.

"So you'll do this to anyone? Humiliate them and suck them dry?"

"Not just anyone…I have personal preferences you know."

As embarrassed as she was, she couldn't help but feel that was…somehow a compliment. Still, he made her so angry.

His added arms then lifted the girl and he brought her into the cabin bedroom, laying her onto the bed. Her wet hair piled onto the pillow, leaving an enormous wet spot beneath her skull. Cele struggled against him, trying to push him off…he wasn't getting his way this time!

Those extra arms posed a problem and he brought out another pair, totaling six now. Two were holding her wrists down against the soft mattress, just near her head. Two more held onto her waist, keeping her still. His legs spread apart, one on either of her sides to weigh down her thighs. His last set of hands were free to do as they wished, one wandered up to her lips. She tried to bite him, but missed and he let his hand roam along her cheek before completely covering up her mouth. She screamed against his palm as he paid special attention to her heaving chest, his tongue lapped at her skin starting with the previous bite he left on her. He kissed the skin and sucked at the purple mark. His remaining hand wandered down to her hip and he began massaging the muscles of her lower belly.

He briefly lifted his mouth from her, "I can feel your feminine heat rising…" he teased and let his hand rub down her belly even further, coming so close to the freshly groomed hairs.

Cele gasped, oh how she wanted him to stop…but why couldn't she tell her body to cooperate with her?

"I know you're untouched girl…" he said.

How in the world could he know that? Cele's eyes widened, how could he tell?

"I don't expect a woman with a disability to get laid very often."

She grunted angrily and quickly forced one of her knees upward, making contact with his groin. He froze for a moment and then continued as if nothing had happened.

"I heal fast girl, that blow was nothing more than a tiny slap on the wrist."

She wriggled her head and his hand fell away from her mouth, "Apparently it wasn't because you were stunned momentarily." She then kneed him again in the same spot, hoping that the hit would merge with the other and double the pain he felt.

"Nice try girl, but it's futile." He covered her mouth again and this time he adjusted her legs so they were spread out around him. His hands resting at her waist dropped to control those legs. His body now lay against her core. "Now then…how about we pick up where we left off?" His face dropped to her chest again and he began licking at the top of her right breast, slowly making his way down.

Cele couldn't help the feelings that were stirring up in her belly. The pits of hell couldn't keep up with the fires spiraling out of control in her core. Her legs began to relax and her struggling slowed.

"That's it girl…" Alucard soothed her; "It's better when you give in to pleasure." His tongue traced tiny circles just above her right peak before fully taking the nipple into his mouth. Her chest heaved and her breaths shortened.

He believed she was hot enough to inflict a small bite. His teeth grazed the rim of her areola before biting down into the flesh, freshly heated blood poured down his throat as he suckled off of her like an infant.

She cried into his palm at the initial bite, but as the pain dulled, it became pleasurable again. His tongue swirled around her breast, lapping up every drop of blood. Her lower body began to squirm beneath him, almost begging him to let her release.

Alucard sensed the wanton radiating from her body and he would kindly let her have it. He separated his mouth from her skin, "Do you want me to finish you off girl?"

She responded with nothing but a moan.

He lifted his body slightly, letting some of his weight off her, "Heh, as you wish." He returned his face to her breast and with one of his many hands, he let it down to her groin, sliding passed her dark curls and resting just above her opening. He teased the outer folds with his gloved finger and then pushed it through the delicate petals.

Cele's toes were curling and her body fell into a trance, like he was using hypnosis or something. Her mouth fell open beneath his palm, allowing one of his fingers to slide inside.

Alucard had her under complete control; he enjoyed every moment of it. Her skin was so soft and warm and her blood was savory. It would be moments before he would taste another rush of the coppery fluid. He needed to push her into oblivion once again to obtain it. The hand he was using on her genitals would be more than enough. He inserted a second finger carefully, not wanting to injure her and used his thumb to press down on the delicate pearl above her slit. He worked her hard, letting his fingers travel through her insides, twisting and turning against the satin walls. Her clit was swelling up and hardening.

She was practically flying, a strong rush of emotions breezed through her. She wanted release so badly…and it was arriving. An enormous wave of electricity passed through her uterus and flooded her groin with warmth. She arched her back into the orgasm, while Alucard tightened his mouth around her nipple and accepted all she had to offer.

It was an hour-long encounter and something that was not easy to forget.

To be continued…
