Seras couldn't help but too feel like crying; crying in desperation and fear. she was tired of Alucard' s bullshit. Why in the nine circles of hell was Alucard trying to find her!?
"Seems like you forgot something, Seras." Alucard said, gritting his teeth.
Seras could feel his rage, it was all over the place, almost tangible.
Well, now was the moment of true. She would tell him everything, maybe then he would feel disgusted and let her be.
But not yet, not without a fight.
Seras took a step forward, and looked him dead in the eye. Red eyes burning like fire.
Seras challenge was interrupted by a thunderous growl. From the corner of her eye she saw Hans in his wolf form walking menacingly to her side.
Both Seras and Alucard were surprised but neither of them show it.
Alucard looked from Seras to Hans.
To say that he was shocked was an understatement. What the hell was Seras doing with the Nazi werewolf?! Hadn't she killed him fifty years ago!? What was she playing at?! Oh, she will pay dearly for her disobedience and treachery. Alucard did not care if he wasn't his master anymore; HE was his creator, He was older, and He was much more powerful. Fledgling or not she will always be bound to him, after all, they shared the same blood.
"Care to explain why are you in the company of the Nazi dog?" Alucard growled and pointed to Hans.
Seras just remained quiet, with her body tense and ready to attack. She was defying him with the look.
Alucard just smirked, accepting the challenge.
Alucard threw the Harkonnen towards Seras, she jumped, grabbing it in mid air. Seras took the massive cannon with both hands and broke it in half.
With a rage filled scream Seras lunged towards Alucard; trying to hit him in the face.
Alucard just avoided the punches and transported behind Seras, grabbing her hair and trowing her to the ground. He was about to stomp in her stomach when Seras shadowy arm transformed in hundreds of spikes and impaled Alucard by the side.
Seras got up and punched Alucard in the face, with so much force that half his face was blown apart.
Alucard reformed again and just laughed; infuriating Seras more. She growled and again launched herself against Alucard.
Alucard unsheathed his gun and shoot Seras. She used her smoke-like arm as a shield.
He then ran towards her and punched her in the stomach. Seras flew trough the air and landed in a tree, almost breaking it from the impact.
She quickly scrambled to her feet, but Alucard was already behind her, grabbing her hair and bending her head so her neck was vulnerable to his deadly fangs.
Seras elbowed him, breaking his ribs and making him bend forward from the pain, and loosing his grip from her hair. She turned around and lashed him on the face, sending him flying into the forest.
Alucard and Seras just kept fighting, none of them noticing how deep into the forest they were. Hans tried to follow them, several times losing visual contact; they were extremely fast, but thanks to his supernatural nose he was able to keep track on the fight.
Hans really hated Alucard but he knew better than to interfere in their fight. But still, he knew that Alucard was stronger then Seras and could easily beat her. And he really wanted to help her, he knew that Seras was running away from Alucard; so if anything bad happened to Seras he would make sure to take her somewhere safe and out of reach from him.
As if on cue he heard a high pitched scream. It was Seras.
He sprinted towards the scream; when he found them, Alucard was holding Seras by the neck and with his other hand piercing her stomach. Seras was squirming and snarling like a vicious dog.
Alucard tightened his grip in her neck, and hissed.
"Are you going to tell me now police girl?" he told her, looking down to her form with a cold stare. During the fight Alucard had questioned her as to why she had left Hellsing and refused to go with him, Seras just kept trying to hit him. But now he had her trapped and she couldn't escape.
"Do I have a choice?!" Seras said through gritted teeth.
Alucard removed his hand from her stomach, and dropped her.
Seras was now sobbing, from both the pain and the humiliation. Gaining all the courage she had left, and taking a shaky breath, she spoke.
"It was after you returned from your 30 year absence..." Her voice was barely a whisper, but for Alucard it was not a problem to hear what she was saying.
"w-we use to spend all the time together... a-and you..." She was trying so hard to hold her tears back. "a-and then you... you were always mad with me... b-because o-of Integra's disease..." She hiccuped.
"and then when you punished me... because the soldier harassed me..." Her voice increased in volume, she raised her head to look him in the eyes.
"You ignored me for months! You treat me like trash, always mocking me and making me feel bad with myself, telling me that I was weak You just seek me for your own fun and entertainment!" her words, a shout full of rage.
"And then... then..." her voice, once again, was above a whisper. She began to rise from the floor, her head downcast and a mad look in her eyes.
"I saw what happened in that church Alucard! It was just like 50 years ago in cheddar!" She yelled, straightening her back and taking a step forward.
"You didn't shot that boy like you shot me! You didn't make him choose between death or being damned for eternity LIKE ME!" Seras was breathing heavily, her vision was blurred and she could barely could look Alucard's face.
"I know that you did it on purpose! The moment you saw me you decided that I would be your next toy! That you would convert me into a fucking monster! A WEAPON! A SLAVE!..." Seras inhaled, a long and shaky breath.
"but even after that..." her voice weak and broken.
"But even after that!" Seras cried at full force. Her once bright smile and innocent eyes, long gone; her face now showing sorrow and emotional pain.
"I- I love you..." Seras had said it in a very low voice, almost imperceptible, hoping that maybe Alucard wouldn't hear her; but everything around them was so quiet and still, that not even the wind could be heard.
Alucard just stared at her, with a poker face. After a few moments, he turned sharply and walked away; stopping to glance at the waxing moon.
If Seras hadn't been crying her eyes out, and had looked up to Alucard's face, then she would have seen confusion and distress in his eyes. He opened his mouth to say something but no sound came out.
He turned his head and looked at Seras, who was now kneeling in a puddle of her own blood, crying with her hands on her face. she looked really miserable.
He was beyond lost and shocked... he really didn't see that coming. So the police girl...was in love with him? He had suspected that his behavior towards her in the last months were partly the cause as to why she had left. But he never suspected this.
What could he possibly say? When he himself, was just as conflicted by his emotion as Seras? He didn't love her...right? No! Of course not. His love would always be with Integra. All this "quest" was just to fulfill her last wish. Yes! That was it; if Integra hadn't asked him then he would never had searched for the police girl...Of course he cared for the girl, but not in that way! And besides, she was quite powerful and she could take care of herself so there was no necessity to look out for her.
Alucard didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I'm sorry Seras..." He whispered sadly, pitying her.
With that, he disappeared into the night.
Hans -still in his wolf form- started walking towards Seras; who had stopped crying, but had her head downcast and her eyes lost, trying to process what had just happened.
Did she just told Alucard that she loved him? And he...he had said sorry? Sorry for what? Sorry for not being able to love her back? Sorry for turn her into a monster? Sorry for treat her like shit?... but, was he truly sorry?...
Well at least he didn't laughed at her, and called her weak or mocked her for her 'human emotions'... yes, at least he didn't, she knew she would not have been able to take that.
Hans was really surprised by what just had happened. So Seras was in love with Alucard? Hans felt a pang of jealousy and... disappointment?
Seras looked so frail and broken, he had just witnessed her emotional crisis. It was a tad bizarre... No! it was completely and utterly bizarre!... and sad...
To see his former enemy like this; perhaps any other person would have scoffed at it or had said that she was pathetic, but not him. Strangely, he didn't liked to see her crying, it made his chest hurt.
So he approached her slowly, with his head hanging low, his eyes wide and glassy, and his ears flat against his head.
Hans nudged her shoulder very slowly and whined.
Seras looked up to Hans; her big eyes red and puffy.
"I..I..." Seras couldn't talk properly, she just spluttered and whimpered, it felt as if she had swallowed something dry and thick; her throat hurt badly and she could barely breath.
She threw herself to Hans, hugging him from his neck; once again sobbing uncontrollably.
Hans just sat down and remained still, looking up to the sky. He lived in he countryside so in the night you could see each and every one of the stars; on winter you could also see the aurora borealis, and even sometimes you could see other planets with the naked eye. It was really beautiful and it reminded him of his life when he was a human.
Minutes later, Hans noticed that Seras had ceased to cry. He looked down and found the girl fast asleep.
Hans grabbed Seras from behind her collar shirt and lift her out of the blood puddle, pulling her under the canopy of a sequoia tree.
Hans looked down to his form. It had been months since he used his wolf form; between his job and remodeling the house*, there was little time to relax and go hunt or run in the forest.
So he decided that a nap under the stars in his wolf form wouldn't hurt anyone.
He curled up behind Seras; accommodating himself so that Seras was leaning on his belly. Unconsciously, Seras moved closer to the heat, humming in approval.
It wasn't until 3 hours later that Seras started to woke up. Once again she was disoriented, with a headache and craving so badly for warm fresh blood.
When she opened her eyes, she saw white...white fur? She extended her hand and touched it. It was soft and warm; she could feel the heartbeat, hear the slow beating of the heart pumping the blood...warm and fresh blood.
Seras instinctively searched for the neck of her prey and sank her fangs on the main artery.
Hans awoke with an itch on his neck, but when he tried to scratch it, his paw collided with something... or more like someone.
Seras was brought back to reality thanks to a big white paw; she looked up to Hans who looked as bewildered as her.
Seras gasped and covered her mouth with her hands, feeling a trail of blood dropping from the corner of her mouth to her chin.
"Oh my god! I- I didn't... It wasn't- It wasn't my intention! I'm so sorry!" Seras tried to apologize quickly, fearful of making the werewolf angry. She took several steps back for precaution.
At first, Hans was a little confused; but then he saw the blood dripping from her mouth and how ashamed she was.
So at the end she drank from him eh? Well, it was a matter of time; she hadn't had any blood in days, then she fought with Alucard...and everyone knows that werewolf blood is a delicacy for vampires. Sooner or later she would have been craving it, like humans crave candy. If he had been in his human form he would be smirking mischievously.
Hans got up, and walked deliberately slow to where she was. He gave her the most menacing look he could muster in the moment and growled low in his throat.
Seras was watching him with wide eyes. She was surprised by how aggressively he was reacting; when hours ago he was being so nice and friendly... and didn't he offered his blood to her back in the house?What was wrong with him?
When finally Hans stood in front on her, he sat down and looked her dead on the eye. Seras was still surprised and a little intimidated from Hans wolf-form size; but she was prepared if he tried to attack.
Then, out of the blue, Hans licked Seras face and wiggled his tail.
"Don't vorry mädchen. You can drink mein blut vhenever you vant." Hans said dismissively, as he turned and walked away.
Seras just remained dumbfounded. Did he just teased her? And then licked ALL of her face?
"Wait! Ewww!" She immediately cleaned her face with the sleeves of her sweater.
Hans stopped and looked behind him, with an expectant look. Seras just glared at him and narrowed her eyes.
"I would appreciate if you not do that again!... I've had enough of people making fun of me..." Seras mumbled more to herself the last words; remembering how Alucard loved to play jokes to her, and how he alwa-
It was then that Seras recalled the events from hours ago... how could she forget something like that? Well maybe it was better if she didn't remember it at all. Seras face darkened dramatically and Hans notice it; he immediately knew why and felt a little guilty for making her remember.
"Fräulein..." He called her softly, as he walked to stand in front of her.
Seras felt once again the hole in her stomach, the dryness of her throat and the congestion on her nose... signalizing that she was about to cry.
Silent tears escaped from her eyes; she looked away, ashamed by showing weakness in front of the werewolf.
And seriously, she shouldn't be crying! Not just because Hans was watching her, but because she already knew that Alucard was going to reject her, that was her plan after all...
Yes, it was no surprise; but it still hurt like hell.
"I'm sorry... it vill not happen again." Hans said solemnly, bowing his head to her.
Seras quuickly cleaned her face from the bloody tears and gave him a bittersweet laugh.
"No... it's fine, don't worry. It's just..." She sighed and looked to the moon. "I'm a little moody because I haven't eat properly." She looked back to Hans and smiled sweetly.
"If you vant more-" Hans offered, but Seras stopped him.
"No! … I mean, no, Thank you..." Seras blushed a little and rubbed her arm. "I feel better now, I can go hunting." She smirked sheepishly; thinking about the blood made her mouth water. Hans nodded, turned and started to walk towards the house; but not before looking back to check if Seras was following.
"You coming?"
Seras eyes widened a little. So he wanted her to go with him? She looked back to where the dry puddle of blood lay. Sir Integra was dead, Alucard had rejected her feelings, she didn't have any friends... or family. She was alone in this world... again.
But this man... werewolf. This former Nazi and old enemy, a ghost from the past... what did he wanted with her? What are his real intentions? Is he lonely like her? Did someone break his heart too? Was he just being polite? Maybe she's just over thinking everything.
Seras looked back to Hans, now with a serious expression... a thoughtful expression.
Should she say yes? Or should she reject his offer?
Seras eyes brightened and her lips curled in a smile that could overshadow the very same sun.
"Yes!"
*"remodeling" as in burning the vampires belongings... and yes, Hans has a job; he is a werewolf, half human half wolf. so he needs a house and food and pay bills!*
I hope it doesn't feel like this is going too fast... for now they are going to be in friendly terms so no kisses and cuddles ... for now :)
