Amen :: A Hellsing Tale :: Part 10 :: New Beginnings
Looking over the cliff, you could see the lush, green valley, and the top of Pip's head down below. He was so slow when it came to rock climbing, compared to you.
"I guess the French aren't fond of rocks!" you shouted down at him. He looked up with a scowl, climbing faster, as you held back a laugh.
"Quiet! Zis izn't eazy!!!" he whined, as he finally reach the top. You helped him onto the ledge, handing him a water bottle and a kiss. He grinned and retorted, "Ahh!! Much better!!"
For the past 3 days Pip had taken you on some interesting trips. First, sail boating, in which Pip fell over-board. More like he was pushed over-board, haha. The second trip was extreme kayaking, which was hilarious, because Pip hadn't figured out that smoking isn't the brightest thing to do when your in the water. He lit and re-lit so many cigarettes throughout the day. And now, the two of you were on a romantic rock-climbing adventure.
"Having fun mon cherie?" he asked, lighting yet another cigarette.
"The time of my life," you laughed, lying down onto his sweaty chest. He smiled and wrapped his loving arms around you.
Thats right, you two were officially dating.
He had asked you in a quiet spot, the night before. He took you to his favorite spot in town, a club in the attic of an old mansion, with a view of the Louver. But it wasn't your typical candle-light dinner. Pip had arranged a jazz band to sing love songs every time the two of you had gone to the dance floor. Instead of candles, there were Christmas lights adorning the entire VIP balcony.
You gotta hand it to him, he knows how to treat a lady!
So now, the two of you were a sweaty couple on top of a rock thousands of feet up in the air, just enjoying the view.
"So, what should we do now?" you asked, watching a flock of birds fly past you. A slight breeze blew against your skin, cooling you off.
"Zere is a vaterfall juzt on ze zide," he said, nodding over to your left. You guessed he was inquiring to go for a nice swim. "Zhall ve?"
"We shall!!"
10 minutes later...
SPLASHHHHHH
"Hey!!! Not fair!!" you screamed as Pip shoved you into the water.
"HAHAHAHAHA...UMPHHH," Pip cried as you pulled him under. The two of you swam over to the waterfalls, splashing at each other like little kids. You got behind the falls, sitting in the caves that were echoing with the sounds from the falls. Pip gently took you into his embrace, a light kiss placed on your cheek. It was a perfect moment, nothing could have ruined it.
That's what you thought...
It all sank when the bullet shots rang through the air. You and Pip jerked up and sprang from the fall's caves, searching for your clothes and weapons. Thankfully, the two of you were smart enough to take guns where ever you went.
Hastily throwing on your shorts and tank, you looked over to Pip. He stood waiting for you, gun in hand, a determined look upon his face.
"Where did the shots come from?" you whispered to Pip as you ran over to him. He pointed over to your right, not answering in words. Turning you saw what had caused the shots.
There, in the shade of the trees, stood Alexander Anderson.
Oh my God
"Who are you?" Pip demanded, pulling you behind him. You sighed and looked away, knowing what would come next. Anderson didn't know you had a boyfriend, yet...
"I'm here to take Victoria to the Vatican," Anderson replied, his eyes locked in yours.
"Your not taking me anywhere Father," you spat, standing in front of Pip.
"You know zis guy?" Pip asked you in a whisper. You nodded and gave him a "I'll explain later..." look, and turned back around to Anderson.
"I have orders to protect you, and to bring you to the Vatican for questioning," he said, stepping forward.
"Protect me from what? And what's this about questioning?" you demanded, stepping towards the Scottish priest.
"They are coming for you," he replied, coming up to you. Pip came up to the two of you, red in the face.
"Vat ze hell are you talking about?" he asked, mad as hell. Anderson scowled and whipped to a knife.
"No! Anderson STOP!!!!" you screamed, as he plunged a knife into Pip's chest. He fell to the ground in pain, shaking all over. You quickly pulled the knife out of his chest, tears streaming down your face. "Don't you dare die on me, you hear? I'll never forgive you!"
"F...for vat?" he stuttered, blood trickling out of mouth. You cupped his face and wiped the blood away, the tears ceasing to stop.
"For...Ughh..." you said, before Anderson sprayed some type of vapor into your face. You fell down into his arms. Soon you realized that you couldn't move, but your eye where still open. It was a paralyzing spray, Anderson had sprayed into your face. With one last attempt to get free, you used you last remaining movement to say, "P...p...PIP!!!!"
