A Promise Written In Blood 1
A/N: Don't own Hellsing. Thanks for the review guy. Enjoy!
Two Years Later
Alucard came awake slowly as he felt the pain wash through his bond with his Master. He didn't immediately rush to her side. If she needed him she'd call him, he was sure of that. The baby was coming. A few months after Seras's death, Integra started thinking about continuing the Hellsing line. The child coming was to be the next Hellsing Leader once Integra passed or was killed, and his new Master. At that point he didn't care anymore. He would do their bidding and watch time pass by an immortal creature among mortals.
His crimson eyes slid shut as he lay back in his chair swishing blood around in a crystal glass. Some part of him in the deepest recesses of his mind he wanted to go back to sleep. Before Integra taking over being his master he never dreamed. In the two years since Seras fell he'd dreamed. Some dreams were of the day his fledgling had died and others were of things that could never be now. Most times after those dreams he wouldn't sleep for days. He'd just lay in his coffin at night and stare up at the lid.
'Alucard!' he heard his Master call for him through their link.
Her voice was strained even through their link. The newest Hellsing must be here. With a soft growl he melted into the shadows to reappear next to his Master's bed. He could smell her blood and the mixture of other scents in the air. His master was alone. Her hair was plastered to her forehead and her shoulders were slouched a bit.
"You summoned me?"
She held a bundle wrapped in blue and turned the baby so he could see him. Alucard wondered what the purpose of this was. His eyes roved over the little Hellsing. He would be a strong leader one day like his mother.
"This is to be your new Master one day Alucard."
He didn't say anything just stared into the deep blue eyes of this innocent creature. Shaking himself mentally he tried to redirect his thoughts from another innocent blue eyed person. "It's your duty to the Hellsing organization to protect him."
"As my master wishes," he finally said.
"You have served this family well Alucard you will continue to do so in the future, until someone releases you or ends your existence."
A curt nod was his only answer. His servitude would probably never end, but in the end it was who he was, one who kills to survive. Maybe one day he'd be able to create another fledgling but right now he wouldn't even consider it. Seras's eyes still haunted him of all the people he'd killed in his lifetime. She'd been the only one he hadn't intended to kill. He'd never admit out loud he had the Hellsing patch that had been on her uniform tucked in one of his inner coat pockets. The brim of his hat shadowed his face as he closed his eyes.
Many years would pass but to him it meant nothing. He watched as Integra fell to time and then her son. After that death he went back to the darkest part of the Hellsing manor and fell asleep despite the protests of a Hellsing. There was an unspoken command that he didn't want to be awoken unless it was necessary for him to rise again. Years passed yet again. Thankfully when he was that deeply asleep he didn't dream.
He was awoken from his sleep by an instant nudging. When his head came up his eyes met a familiar striking pair of blue eyes with platinum blonde hair. The teen's scent smelled similar to Integra's scent. He figured then it was a Hellsing brat that was waking him.
"Hello Alucard."
He blinked lazily at the boy standing in front of him. His body creaked as he moved a bit. And his hat had cobwebs all over it. "It's nice to finally meet you."
"Why have you wakened me?"
"We need your help."
"We?"
"My brother and I. The world has changed much since you slept. There's been no one to fight the ghouls. They've become a problem."
His head dipped down. He wanted to go back to sleep again. "Alucard there's three vampires running around claiming they're your descendants. They've called themselves Crimson Night."
A cliché name for a bunch or wanna be fake vampires. Alucard's hands clenched at his sides. Looking up his eyes narrowed. That was impossible, because he'd only had one fledgling and she died by his own hand.
"They do, do they?" he growled out in a soft rumble.
He nodded his head. "What do you wish of me Master?"
"I need you to take care of the threat Alucard."
Slowly he rose to tower over the boy that called him. It was almost nostalgic at this. Here another Hellsing was calling him to battle as a child. Though, this boy didn't have the threat of a relative trying to kill him at least not yet. There was still time for control to be fought over of the family. Much like before he knelt before the boy and promised to help him in his endeavors just like Integra. His long black white hair swished around his face as he knelt there.
"Yes, My Master."
