Amen :: A Hellsing Tale :: Part 3 :: What's Right & Wrong
The beats of the music went along well with the movements of Alucard's hips. After a long time of struggling to get him on the dance floor, you did, and got him to take off his coat and hat. oo hehe
After a few moments of dancing away from each other, as you faced away from him, an arm wrapped around your waste. You spun around to see Alucard grinning more than ever. You laughed at his approach and linked your arms around his neck, bringing the two of you closer. By then, you couldn't even hear the music; it was just you and him. It was intoxicating.
I bet he does this with all his lovely victims.
Alucard grinned and you knew he had heard your thoughts. He smirked and pulled himself closer to your face.
OO
The shot rang through the entire club. Screams rang in your ears, but all you could think about was the pain. One bullet had entered into your left leg and another in your upper chest. Just as you were about to hit the floor, Alucard caught you and pulled out his gun. With one shot he destroyed the ghoul. He turned back to you, only to find that you were slowly slipping away.
"Hold on my little angel, hold on." He whispered, as you slowly fell into darkness.
:: 1 Week Later ::
:: Alucard's POV ::
I sat quietly watching over Victoria in her room. Her breathing had returned and she was coming closer and closer to health. Everyone was furious that I had let this happen, but I didn't care. As long as she wakes up, I wouldn't care.
Victoria confused me, she made me feel in a way I had not felt in many, many years. Over the past week, she has proved her strength, stability, beauty. Why was I feeling this way towards her, I didn't know.
Suddenly, her eyes shot open and she shot up in the bed. She began to panic, yanking the oxygen cords off of her neck and arms. I couldn't let this go on.
"Victoria, stop! No, stop Victoria!" I pleaded, wait a tick, me pleading, ughh. I put aside the thought and wrapped my arms around her. After a while she calmed down and drifted off to sleep. She wouldn't remember this.
Thankfully
I sat until the morning came, pondering over her, wondering why I felt this way.
:: 3 Days Later ::
:: Back To Your POV ::
You remember being shot. You remember falling to into darkness. You also remember the pain.
What am I forgetting?
Alucard. Waking up suddenly. Alucard...holding me?
OO
I do remember that.
You slowly opened your eyes to find that you were in your room, lying on the bed. You sat up against the pillow and sighed. It still hurt.
"Hello there little angel." You heard from across the room. You turned to see Alucard sitting at the table with a glass of blood in his hand.
"Hello." You answered softly, as you made your way out of the bed. He grinned and leaned his head on his hand, staring at you with those large red eyes. You smiled and walked into the bathroom, to take a much needed shower. Once you were finished you ran back into the room with only a towel on, forgetting Alucard was in there. You found yourself an outfit,
A white blouse with long sleeves, horse-back-riding pants very tight fitting, brown pants., knee-high dark brown riding boots, and a black trench coat; it was raining outside .
"And where do you think your going?" You heard from behind you as you were about to leave the room. You spun around to come face-to-face with Alucard's chest.
"Have I ever told you how tall you are?" You asked sarcastically. He smirked and leaned in close to your face.
"Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" He asked softly. You smirked and grabbed your shotgun, walking away. You heard him laughing behind you. You walked out to the stables quietly and got out your horses. You had target practice for about an hour, hitting almost all of them.
I haven't lost it.
As you finished up with all the targets you noticed a tall, dark figure approaching you. Thinking it was Alucard you trotted your horse up to him, only to find it was Max.
"And what the hell do you think you are doing up and about?" He asked, almost angrily. You laughed in shock at his question.
"Practicing." You answered calmly. He rolled his eyes and helped you off the horse.
"Your mother is expecting you now." He said, taking away the horse.
I guess he's not very happy with me, oh well, I'll talk with him later.
You sat quietly in your mother's office, waiting for her to speak. She rummaged through some of her papers and pulled out of note. She handed to you and you quietly read it to yourself.
Dear Victoria,
I am glad to hear you are back in town. It has been so long since I have seen you my dear, and I would love to invite you to the castle tomorrow for brunch. We have much to talk about, you and I. Especially you becoming the "Countess of Abington" after your father the late, "Earl of Abington." I shall explain the rest tomorrow.
Yours Truly,
Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth III
"So?" Your mother asked impatiently. You handed her the note.
"It seems I'm going to visit the queen tomorrow." You told her. She nodded and dismissed you. As you left the room, you heard something down below. Running down the stairs you saw something that made you sick to your stomach.
Knives jutted out of Alucard's bare neck; blood splattered the entire floor around him. His eyes were wide open in half surprise, half horror. You ran over to his side, falling over onto your knees before him.
"Alucard!!!"
