Amen :: A Hellsing Tale :: Part 7 :: Killing Me Softly

The next day was spent with the trainees, working on their target practice, learning how to ride horses, obstacle courses, and even mental skills. You wanted your troops to be smart and strong, not brain-dead oafs.

About noon, The Wild Geese came out to join in all the fun. Pip Bernadotte was at the rear, groggily walking over to you and your troops.

"Vat did ve do last night?" he asked, slinking down on the bench, beside you. You laughed at your hung-over friend and patted his shoulder.

"You made sounds I've never heard a man make before," you said slyly. Making him think the two of you made love was a piece of cake.

"You mean, ve made love?" he asked, in an excited tone.

"Mentally, you were the best I ever had," you whispered to him, standing up and walking over to meet the Wild Geese. He groaned in disappointment and followed you over to his troops.

They were a sturdy crew, strong mercenaries who you felt they could be trusted. As time went on, you would soon find that your accusations were right, they are a trustworthy bunch.

"Victoria," Pip said as you ordered another round of bullets from your troops,. Turning, you saw that he held two pistols. "Care for a contest?"

It was simple. All you had to do was hit and knock over all 10 of the tin cans that had been lined side-by-side on the fence.

"And what is the prize?" you asked sarcastically. Pip thought for a moment, suddenly a wide grin appearing on his face.

"A kiss, mon Cherie," he said. You agreed and calmly took aim, knocking each and everyone off of the fence. You smiled and turned back to the Frenchman.

"Your turn," you said softly. He smirked and took aim, and just like you did, hit each and everyone, well, almost.

As he was about to fire a bullet through the very last can, you loudly said, "Hit this next one and I'll really sleep with you."

The bullet hit the tree behind the can. The Wild Geese were on the ground with laughter, clutching their stomachs. You calmly walked over to the shamed Captain and whispered, "Hmm...too bad, you could have used the workout."

The rest of the day was spent alone, giving your troops the break they deserved. You sat quietly on the hillside facing away from the manor, over-looking London. Time seemed to pass you by, for by the time you had headed back to the manor, the sun was beginning to set.

"My lady! Come and join us!!" You heard immediately as you walked inside. Looking around you saw Pip and his gang, lounging about. Grinning as he always was, Pip patted the seat beside him. You slowly made your way over, teasing him, for you knew what he wanted. My winning kiss.

"May I help you Captain?" you asked in an innocent voice.

"I believe I owe you somezing," he said leaning in. You couldn't help but let out a laugh, as his lips touched yours. He was gentle, which surprised you, but he was still a pervert. You felt his tongue parting your lips, making you blush a bit. It was a nice kiss, nicer than the ones you had had before. Even Alucard's, which was odd, but true. As Pip got closer and closer to reaching your max, you calmly pulled away.

"I think you should start winning some more," you told him, getting up. "You're pretty good."


Walter had dinner waiting for you in the dining room, as the moon was in the sky. It looked delicious, savory chicken, red wine, French bread, a nice salad. Just what you needed after a long day.

Now I know how mother feels.

There was a cool breeze that blew against the back of your neck. You put your fork and knife down and grabbed your wine glass.

"Hello Alucard," you said softly, keeping your gaze away from him. "Here for another kiss, or was that just another foul joke of yours?"

"What made you think that was a joke?" he asked, standing beside you. You looked out at the view from the large window, the streets of London glowing dimly.

Isn't it obvious?

"No." he replied, removing his hat and glasses, along with his coat too.

"Im tired of being an object of man's lust,' you said softly, getting up and walking over to the large window. It was such a beautiful view.

This never happened in Africa, or Asia, or Russia, only here, my home...the world's most disgusting place.

Alucard silently made his way over to you, an arm around your chest NOT boobs you perverts!, your back against his sturdy chest. You leaned your head against his neck, his other arm wrapped around your waste. It was silent for many moments, but you didn't mind.

Your the only one I feel safe with...

He tightened his grab on you, and even though he was cold as ice, you felt a warmth coming from him, something you had never felt before.

I voinţă a voi dragoste tu cu tot meu dying inimă.

"Thank you," you answered softly, understanding immediately his Romanian tongue.

"You know what I said?" he asked, turning you around so you could face him. You nodded with a smile.

"Şi I voinţă a voi dragoste tu cu tot meu viu inimă." you said in your best Romanian tongue. He looked stunned, confused almost.

"How...where did you learn my tongue?" he asked, his arms wrapping around your waste.

"In my dreams," you replied softly. "Thats the only language they speak in."

"They?"

"Demons, angels, knights, kings, queens...everyone," you answered, glancing out the window.

Not only do I see them in my dreams, I see them in your eyes.

Does it scare you?

Humans fear what we don't understand...but someday, I will understand these dreams of mine.

There was a slight change in the color of the sky, it became lighter. Your heart sank into the bottom of your stomach.

"You should go," you said quietly, but Alucard's grasp on you remained. he began to disappear within you grasp, but suddenly you found that you were coming along with him.

"Alucard, where are we going?" you asked, noticing the darkness that surrounded the two of you. Suddenly, your dreams became a reality. Demons erupted from the earth, armor-clad angels fell from the heavens, cries rang through your ears, there were corpses, impaled by long wooden stakes. Frightened, you closed your eyes and fell into Alucard's chest.

A face pe ei energie away. a face pe plac la Alucard

Suddenly the darkness was gone. A tiny bit of light shone down of the two of you, as if it were cascading from the heavens. The tears that streamed down your cheeks, seemed to evaporate off your face.

Do you trust me?

If I say yes, I would be a fool, if I say no, I would be lying.

The light was gone, and again the two of you were in complete darkness. But this darkness, was calm, silent, and comforting. Alucard laid you down on something soft, you looked to find you were lying on a red, velvet cushion. Alucard lay down next to you, a comforting thing. Strange, how you felt safe in an environment that was internally ruled by creatures of the night. A smirk crept to his face, and an arm around your stomach, pulling you closer to him. Suddenly there was something over top of you.

I'm in a coffin!

You sprang up in a jolt of fear, instantly hitting your head on the lid. You fell back against Alucard's sturdy chest, moaning in pain. His laughter filled your mind, making the pain worse.

Oh hush..Im still human...Im not used to sleeping in a box.

I can fix that.

Alucard pulled hair tie from your long pony tail, releasing your hair all over. He ran his now, un-gloved hands through your think brown hair, kissing your forehead.

A few moments later, you felt a pair of lips against yours, gentle and soft. Surprising. He parted your lips and gave you the most wonderful kiss you had ever had!

A few kisses later, a shirt came off, then another, and another kiss, a then...

LEMONS!!!!!!!
