Chapter Two: Goodbyes
It was about five o'clock in the morning when Seras and Alucard were to leave and they were already running late. As she got ready, Seras was sure she would be the one to lag. There was so much to be done! Put in her new color contacts that brought her eyes back to their original sparkling blue. Wear something normal, after all she was used to her Hellsing uniformand her riding leathers, but both would raise an eyebrow or two in the airport.
At last minute she decided on something simple. Low-cut flare jeans accompanied by a snug fitting yellow long sleeved shirt. The sleeves were the type that could easily fit over some ones wrists, but for now she had them bunched up. A plain pair of flips flops protected her bare skin from the floor. She had added a few accessories, like a black studded belt, some odds and ends hung on her necks, and a little black back pack filled with different items to keep her busy during the long flight to the states.
As simple as it sounds I look pretty good in this! She though,turning from side to side in the full length mirror.
'Indeed Seras.' A silky voice said in her mind. Then, Alucard stood a few inches away, coming from who knows where. "Splendid really, but don't go feeding off all you admires now!" He said, a hint of sarcasm and, perhaps her ears are deceiving her, but jealousy?!
"Ah! He-Hello." Seras stuttered while trying to back up gracefully, but only ended up stumbling and breaking her gaze from Alucared.
It seemed so odd, so weird, so different to see him looking human. If he looked handsome as a vampire, then he was as equally overwhelming as a human! His long silky hair was pulled back into a loose pony
tail that hung almost to mid-back. Seras saw that he didn't have contacts in like she did, instead he had his trusty sunglasses in hand.
She wasn't sure if it was Walter or Sir Intergra that selected Alucard's outfit, but she was sure that both of them were getting their giggles! He looked like the stereotypical 'dark child'. A mix between 'emo', represented by the tight clothing, goth from the added jewelry and accessories, and his own touch of danger that surrounded him. Dull crimson high tops accompanied by black laces started off the color scheme. As stated before, he wore the tight clothing of an American Emo teenager. Dark skinny jeans that had red embroidery that added emphasis to his… well… Bringing her attention of the belt, Seras noticed that he wore a belt similar to her except it was red and black checkered. A charm of Anubs shined in the dim candle light she used to light her room. He had a black long sleeved shirt that was also embroidered with red string. It was similar to what he normally wore… minus the hat and the trench coat, just a bit more… modern.
"Do I look good Seras?" Alucard sneered and did a 360 turn, a treacherous smile always on his lips. "Good enough to eat, my dear?" his tone darkening.
"Are you okay?" True concern coated Seras voice. Like Integra she had notice the sudden mood change in the older vampire, and it terrified her!
His cocky attitude and joking demeanor has seemed naught to exist. Right now and for the past months it has been cruelty, cold and scary. His humor has become dark instead of twisted, hostile instead of playful. Thinking back to the motorcycle race, she shivered to think of what might have occurred if Walter had not been present!
"Just peachy." He whispered into her mind. Seras couldn't resist a slight shiver at his words.
Alucard threw back his head and belted out a cackle when he sensed Seras evident fear. "Look at Kitten now!" He mocked reaching out with a bare hand and brushed her check. (A/N)
As the body always does, it consumed Seras in a flurry of feeling. Fear, admiration, hate, resentment, and a word she dared not even think in the false safety of her own mind. Fear for the obvious, admiration for his power. Hating him for bring up her past nickname when she was alive and on the police force. Resentment against herself for not standing up for herself because, lets face it, no matter what mood Alucard was in, she always felt intimidated by the—much older—vampire.
"Time to go Alucard." Sir Integra said from the doorway of Seras' room.
I didn't even notice her! Seras thought as she backed away from Alucards touch.
"How pathetic! We have some intense training to do while in America Seras Victoria!" He scoffed telepathically, as he turned to his master. "Very well Sir Integra." The words seemed to come from deep with in his chest, a rumbling thundering. "I'll be in the automobile." And with that, he was gone.
Seras starred at her commanding officer and had a slight feeling that she was being scolded by those cold blue eyes. "Well, um, then I suppose I should be off too!" the petite blonde gave an uncertain chuckle as she picked up her carry on item and tired to make her way around Sir Integra, but it seemed to woman had no intention of allowing that to happen.
With her steady gaze, Sir Hellsing pulled out two small objects from her trousers pocket. Both were squareish in shape and had a metallic gleam to them. Hesitantly, Seras reached out for the cell phones. They weren't very high end, but she doubted she would ever use it anyways.
"It's for cantacting me." Alucard's master went on. "You and Alucard can talk without them, but I need reports ever other day or so on your progress over seas." The short vampire nodded, listening to her commander. "I entrust you to follow this out, give the other to your elder why don't you." And just like Alucard had, Sir Intergra simply left. No goodbye, no good luck, no "Don't get yourself killed!" Some times Seras wondered if that woman wasn't a vampire!
Remembering the tight schedule they were on, she rushed out of the room and up to the front door. Walter stood waiting with the door open that belonged to a black limousine. "Good morning Miss Victoria." He nodded, shutting the portal after her body was in automobile.
Seras took a needless calming breath and let it slowly out. Not only was dawn breaking and made her tired, but the simple thought a being in a crowded airport smashed up against warm blooded bodies only filled her with both dread and worry. It was going to be a ruff trip from here on out.
As the limo approached the airport, Alucard could feel every single heart beat coming from that concrete building. Suddenly the solid inanimate object became a throbbing hive of life. The fangs in his mouth extended and a low growl erupted from his throat. What the hell was Integra thinking?! He scowled inwardly. If I'm reacting this badly, I wonder how the Police Girl will hold up! He chanced a glance at his fledgling . Every single muscle on her body was tense, her mouth was set in a firm, thin line, and her eyes squeezed shut. Judging by how tight she clutched her body with crossed arms, she was doing everything and anything to keep her from going mad!
A hiss slipped through he white, gleaming teeth when the car came to a halt in a particularly busy terminal. Alucard closed his eyes once again to steady himself. Even him, a No-Life Kind was having difficulties controlling his blood lust. But he couldn't help but smile at the thought of Seras tearing up a number of those travlers.
Indeed, he chuckled to himself. This trip is proving to be more promising than first presumed! A twisted smirk remained on his lips as Walter open the door out to the sidewalk.
It hit Seras like a ton of bricks. A collision with disaster began when the Hellsings Butler opened the automobile door. The lush smell of blood wafted in and made her shiver in both pleasure and disgust.
After tasting warm blood she only found herself craving it more. Sure the cold, donated blood packets of blood kept her at bay, but the heat and sensations from fresh blood could not compare.
"Your slow Seras."Alucard growled, taking her by the forearm and yanking her out of the limo.
When did he get out? She thought in bewilderment as he kept a firm grip on her arm.
"Good-bye Alucard, good-bye Miss Victoria. I hope your mission is a successful one." Walter said after shutting the door and turning towards the couple.
Seras meek "Thank You." was drowned out by Alucards confident. "Oh it shall be, do not worry old friend."
Walter felt his stomach twist in anticipation; he knew all too well that Alucard would keep his word.
The old recuperating butler waved out the window as he was swept up into the morning's rush hour, Leaving Master and Fledgling to fend for them selves in the busiest terminal of London's International Airport.
A/N: Okay, those of you who pay attention to details: the whole bare hand thing with Alucard has a reason and solution. After the battle with Millennium, Sir Hellsing knew that the gloves could be destroyed during combat, being on the safe side she had the seals put directly into Alucard's skin. This way he can never escape the spell that has had trapped him for so long.
I really couldn't find anywhere to put that so I just figured I should add that in! Sorry if this chapter was a bit dreary, I couldn't drag it on with the next one, it just wouldn't be right. But it gets you pumped and ready for the next chapter! Remember to Review everyone!!
