damn, it took me 1 month to update D: anyway, i should warn you that there's a super lame fight scene (well two fight scenes) but i am just no good in that!
Seras hugged the coat closer to her body; even dead she still could feel the extreme coldness of the snow.
She kept walking down the pavement road, looking around the white horizon.
A sound coming from the trees at her left made her stop. She scanned the area again with narrowed eyes, but found just a squirrel climbing up a tree hurriedly. She shrugged her shoulders and kept walking.
After rounding a corner, Seras could see a red brick house at the end of the street; smoke coming out of the chimney. Seras smiled and quickened her pace, eager to get inside.
When Seras reached the entrance of the house she started to giggle uncontrollably. There, in the front yard, was Hans -in his wolf form- sprawled on his back.
His usual size was reduced to a 'normal' dog size, tho, if he stood in two legs he could easily tower over her.
Seras giggles reached Hans ears and he quickly got up. He glared at Seras and walked menacingly towards her.
"Vhere you laughing at me, mädchen?" Hans asked Seras, in a fake angry tone.
Seras tried to hide her big smile between her hands, but a snicker escaped her lips.
"You just looked so cut- aahhh!" Seras yelled in surprise when Hans tackled her to the ground. He then started to lick her face.
"Eww- pf-... no- st- nooo!" Seras tried to protest but to no avail. After a few more seconds she finally gave up and Hans stopped.
She glared at him and cleaned the saliva with her arm. Hans just wagged his tail.
"I won't give you cake~" Seras sang in a sweet voice, trying to reach for the paper bag that was almost buried by the snow. "I would eat the cake all by myself~" She tried to grab it, but Hans had pinned her to the ground, he eyed the bag and then to Seras, with a wolfish grin he jumped; landing just above the bag.
"Bloodsuckers can't eat cake." Hans chuckled and grabbed the bag in his mouth; jogging towards the doorway.
"But you can't have it! You know I hate it when you lick my face you mongrel!" Seras yelled indignantly and jumped to her feet, trying to catch Hans.
She almost tripped on the wet floor of the entrance, but she quickly regained her balance and sprinted towards the kitchen in search of Hans. The first thing she saw was the cake bag in the counter, she smiled in victory and tried to grab it, but was stopped when suddenly Hans put an arm around her waist, pulling her towards his chest.
"You like it vhen I lick you down here." Hans pressed her crotch and kissed her neck, sucking and nipping the white skin.
Seras squeaked in surprise and flushed deeply. Even if she denied it, it drove her crazy every time Hans teased her.
She squirmed around while giggling madly, Hans turned her around and kissed her softly.
A few seconds later Seras started to pull away.
"I am all wet-" Seras saw the playful smirk that started to grow on Hans lips and quickly added. "My clothes! My clothes are wet! ugh, I'll go change." She narrowed her eyes and stuck her tongue out.
Hans watched Seras form disappear at the end of the hallway with a small smile in his lips; for a moment he considered following her and finish what they had started, but then he remembered the delicious cake waiting in the kitchen counter.
Besides, she must be quite exhausted for waking up so early the past two weeks.
Seras had entered bakery classes; it was a weird concept for Hans, you know, a vampire baking. She couldn't eat them anymore so it was like a wasting of time.
Of course that train of though had changed when she brought him a delicious souffle on the third day.
She had did it out of boredom, although he suspected the other reason was because she knew he loved sweet things. She had also enrolled on other classes, like piano and dressmaking.
Hans waited for Seras to come back to the kitchen so he could eat the cake.
It was a weird but sweet ritual, she had made him promise that he would taste all of her cakes and told her how good or bad they were; also, she liked to see Hans eating the cake... it was more than a symbolic thing than anything else, like 'You'll eat what I cannot eat.'
Seras did the honors in opening the bag and putting the dessert in a plate.
Hans mouth watered when he saw the enormous apple strudel -or apfelstrudel, back in his homeland.-, the thing didn't looked that delicious, and more because it was flattened on one side (His fault, he guessed.) but it smelled so good.
Seras took a seat at his side and leaned on his shoulders, a sweet but expectant expression on her face.
Hans took his first bite, chewed for a moment and then swallowed; all of this with a blank expression on his face. Seras knew he was playing around, still, she was waiting eagerly for his approval.
"It taste delicious, Seras." Hans smiled softly and kissed Seras cheek. She hugged his arm and kissed him back.
"Thanks Hans... This dessert brings back memories of my dad, he brought it to me on my first day of school." Seras sighed while smiling nostalgically. She closed her eyes and continued speaking. " I thought those memories where long forgotten, even nonexistent... but I guess I just needed help to remember."
Hans observed Seras for a long moment; she wasn't the only one with memories related to the apple strudel.
"Mein mother vas a baker... She vas famous for her apfelstrudel." Hans commented quietly; he took another bite of the dessert.
Seras looked up to Hans, quite surprised by his confession.
"Really?" It was bizarre that they had something like that in common... But at the same time it was very special.
"Ja." Hans nodded solemnly. "Is one of the few things I most remember of vhen I vas a human boy."
Hans and Seras looked at each other, losing themselves in the eyes of the other, drawing closer with each passing second.
Although they shared a bed and kissed every day, in that precise moment there was something different, something special. The need of being closer, the need of becoming one grew more and more, so much that it almost hurt.
It was overwhelming for both of them; they always lived around chaos and dead, this was just so strange and foreign that it was completely scary.
But at the same time they wanted more of the feeling, more of the hot skin and ragged breaths, more of the butterflies in their stomach, more of the nervous smiles... more of each other.
You could compare the feeling to a ride in a roller coaster. It was frightening...but exciting.
When they were just a breath away from kissing, the sound of someone clapping made them turn their heads towards the living room.
"I have to congratulate you Seras, no one in more than 400 years has ever hid from me this long... a whole year, je." Alucard deep voice resonated through the whole house, he was leaning in the door frame of the living room; The red hat covering half of his face, his wide smirk was the only visible thing.
Hans ans Seras were instantly prepared to attack; he was growling viciously while she was sneering.
But Alucard made no move to attack, in fact, he slowly raised his hands in sign of surrender.
"I'm here to speak." For a moment he seemed hesitant. "peacefully." He added.
Although he spoke calmly and his body language was relax; his wide grin told a whole different intention.
Seras was shocked and enraged, but overall, confused; did he just say that she had been hiding from him? A year? So he had been looking for her all this time?
And now he invaded their home to supposedly just talk 'peacefully' ? Seras wanted so badly to punch the shit out of him, but she knew better then that.
Hans and her were very powerful individuals, but Alucard was a lot more, they could wear him out but never really win against him...and who could stop Alucard from kill Hans or her? He was a free vampire now... So she didn't have other option but to hear what he had to say.
"What do you want Alucard?" She asked in a cold manner.
Alucard smirk dropped a little; he looked directly to Seras, thoughtfully about something, he the directed a quick glance to Hans.
"I wish to speak with you, alone." He stressed out the last word; narrowing his eyes while glancing at Hans.
"Nein." Hans took a step forward, putting himself between Seras and Alucard. His fist were clenched, his body tense and straight, making him look even more taller and menacing.
Seras could feel the hostility in the air; she knew that if presented with the opportunity, Alucard would attack Hans, and she really wanted to avoid any violent confrontation with him. She took a step, standing besides Hans, and put a hand in his shoulder. He didn't move, but only looked at her from the corner of his eye.
"Hans, please...I don't have other option..." Seras looked away when she felt something akin to betrayal coming from Hans psyche, although, the anger was far more strong.
A few minutes passed until Hans sharply turned away and walked out of the kitchen, heading to the garden, through the back door; not before slamming the wooden portal in his way out.
Seras looked at his retreating form, making a mental note that she needed to apologize to him later...maybe another apple strudel? She bit her lip and turned to face Alucard.
She glared hard at him.
"Speak." She all but barked the order.
Alucard didn't seem offended in any way, all the opposite, he seemed amused.
"Maybe we should seat-" He started to walk towards the table but was cut off by Seras.
"Don't!" She raised her hand signaling him to stop. "Stay were you are...You have ten minutes to tell what do you want with me." Seras was trying to take deep and soothing breaths, her left hand was starting to loose its human form, small streaks of black smoke radiating from it.
Alucard noted her distress and frowned; he really wanted to talk with her in serious terms...maybe he should approach her in a different attitude than his normal.
"Seras, please calm yourself; I just want to talk..." Alucard stated with a poker face.
Seras pinched the bridge of her nose and took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves.
"Fine..." she rounded the counter that was in the center of the kitchen and seated in a stool; Alucard took the one in the other edge of the counter, facing Seras.
Seras looked at her lap, not wanting to look Alucard in the eyes; this was so uncommon for him, to act so civilized and...diplomatic.
"Are you going to stare at me the whole night?" She asked, sounding a little more like her old self.
Alucard lips curled up a little, making and almost non-existent smile...like the one the had gave her so many years ago in the battle of London. Tho, Seras didn't noted this, she was fidgeting with her shirt, quite nervous about her former master weird behavior.
But what most had her concerned was Hans; he had been really angry with her even though he hadn't say anything... but she felt it! She knew! It was killing her and she just wanted to get rid of Alucard and apologize to Hans.
Her thoughts stopped when she heard Alucard growl loudly, catching her immediate attention.
"Stop thinking about that mutt!" Alucard hissed and clenched the corner of the counter, crushing the wood between his fingers.
Seras was puzzled by his reaction, but she felt mostly offended.
"He's mad with me because of you! So you better start talking!" Seras jumped to her feet and slammed her fist on the table.
Alucard snarled and he also got up rather violently from the stool, also, slamming his fist in the counter, but with much more force that it broke in three parts.
"You better remember who's more powerful here police girl!" His deep and imposing voice flooded the whole house.
Seras quickly returned to her seat, but didn't loose her fearsome look that remained fixated on Alucard.
He glared at her and took his seat.
"I'm here to talk about what you said to me in Paris." He bluntly stated.
Seras instantly looked away and small blush appeared in her cheeks. The very thought of that day made her feel self pity and embarrassment.
Why did he wanted to talk about that? She wasn't even sure if what she felt towards him back in those days was love... was it attraction? Or a simple infatuation? Or mix of the two? She wasn't sure about her feelings anymore...
Because then, what was what she felt towards Hans?... with him was different, with him she felt secure and happy, and with Alucard she just felt desire...desire for something that she knew was forbidden.
And then why did she had said that she loved him when she wasn't sure, hell, when she didn't knew how real love was like?
"And I will answer any questions you have." Alucard voice brought her back to reality.
Wait, what? Seras looked puzzled to Alucard. Why did he said that? What questions beside 'how did you find me' and 'what do you want' could she-
Something from a long time ago came to her mind.
"Why me? Why did you turn me?" She asked quickly, almost coming out as one whole sentence.
Seras wanted to know why she had been made this way. Did she had a real reason to exist? Was she just a whim? A joke? Was there a greater good to achieve?
She always felt so incomplete without that information... it was a weird feeling, like when you lose something that you know you left in a certain place. You'll look for the damn thing in every corner of the house but you'll never find it... sometimes it comebacks to you...sometimes it doesn't.
And when it doesn't, it will bother you for hours, for weeks...even for years.
Alucard narrowed his eyes and looked at Seras for a long time.
"Do you really want to know?" He sounded dead serious.
"Yes." She responded as equally serious.
"Fine." He sighed dramatically. "They were various reasons as to why I decided to turn you..."
He stopped for a moment, wishing that the answer was good enough for her; but a quick glance to Seras face told him otherwise.
"... I knew there was a something coming, a big battle a great opponent." He grinned excitedly, remembering the carnage of past battles. "I didn't now who or when it would start... I just knew it." He studied Seras face, she was frowning a little, not quite impressed with his ranting.
"It wasn't in my plans to create a fledgling I must add, but then, that day in cheddar..." A strange glint appeared in his red eyes, he looked at the distance, loosing himself in the memories. "I saw you, so much potential! You were something different, something that you only find once in a lifetime, a person born with the unawakened power of the darkness ...so small and innocent, and young... maybe a little too young." His smirk returned with renewed vigor.
"I would have waited a few more years, maybe when you had twenty one or twenty three." Seras eyes widened and then narrowed, so she had been doomed since the moment he saw her...
"But! The opportunity to turn you without having to waste my time in convince you arose ….and well, I shoot you." Seras didn't felt so bad like the first time he had said that he shot her... but still it really anger her how easily he dismissed the whole ordeal! He took her life just because he 'saw' potential in her?!...
Still, she was satisfied with the answer... kinda. And besides, she had accepted her fate a long time ago...she also had asked herself something very important, what if she had been an human when the battle of London happened? Would she had survived?... hundreds of times she had thought of the different scenarios that could have been her life, with or without vampirism.
"So?" Alucard asked in a bored tone.
"So what?" Seras arched a brow.
"Is my answer satisfying enough?"
"I guess so..."
The minutes passed and neither of them talked, Seras was trying not to look uncomfortable but Alucard just keep staring at her, as if waiting for her to talk first.
Seras was about to speak when Alucard suddenly rose up from the stool, surprising her.
With two long strides he came to stood in front of her, imposing as ever.
Seras just remained seated, watching him with wide red eyes.
"Seras..." Alucard spoke so softly that it didn't sounded like him at all.
In his eyes there was a foreign emotion, he reached to touch her shoulder but she flinched away; he scowled profoundly but again tried to put his hand on her shoulder, this time she didn't move.
"Do you think I would hurt you?" He asked with real curiosity.
"Yes." Seras responded without a second thought.
More then anything else he seemed disappointed... not with her, but with him.
"Why?" He wasn't looking at her, but at the window at the left side of the kitchen.
"Why not?" He still wasn't looking at her, but still smirked; she just sighed in annoyance, and looked down.
He started to trail his finger up her neck, until he grabbed her chin and made her look up to him.
"Do you know why I came here?" He slowly caressed her face.
"You say you wanted to talk..." She tried to ignore how good it felt physical and emotionally his touch.
He shook his head and tsked. Seras followed the movement of his head, his eyes were glowing, making her feel like in a dream, his touch making her melt in the spot.
"I came here to take what it's mine." Alucard leaned forward, taking Seras from both shoulders and lifting her from her seat.
Through half-lidded eyes Seras saw how Alucard face was more and more closer to hers, she closed her eyes and leaned forward.
Alucard smirked in victory, anticipating the taste of her small lips; this had been quite easy... of course he had catch her unaware, thinking of the werewolf... What was his name? Harry? Heinz? He was a strong opponent and he was still quite surprised by finding him alive, he had thought that Seras killed him a long time ago.
Seras seemed to like him, but he wasn't sure; he had to give her that, her memories and feelings were very well guarded.
When their lips were mere inches apart, Seras eyes shot open. They were shinning with repressed fury and malicious intent.
And before Alucard could get a hold on her again, her fist connected with his face. He was sent flying across the kitchen landing on the opposite wall; pans, cups, plates and a fridge landed on him.
"You should be going now..." Seras said quietly while she turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
She was making her way to the back door when Alucard reformed in front of her, a mad scowl in his pale face.
"Who do you think you are?" He hissed. "Do you think I came here to where you are hiding to just be rejected?"
Seras stomped her foot on the floor and clenched her fist.
"I wasn't hiding from anyone! You left when I told you that I-I loved you!" She turned around and started to walk to the main entrance, she wanted to find Hans.
But again Alucard blocked her exit.
"And now I am here to accept your feelings towards me." He said smugly, grinning widely.
"I don't love you Alucard and you don't love me! Move aside!" Not a second after the words left her mouth, Alucard grabbed her by the neck and lifted her from the ground.
She tried to punch him, but he caught her fist in mid air with his free hand; she tried with her other hand, but again he stopped her, with a black tendril.
He pushed her to the wall and leaned in her neck.
"It seems that I need to remind you who's the master and who's the servant." He pressed his body to hers and tightened his grip on her neck and hand, breaking the bones, making her knuckles bleed and to cough blood.
"You are coming with me Seras, like it or not." He licked the small trail of blood that was running down her chin. He then proceeded to ravage her mouth with his inhumanly large tongue.
It was then when started lost all her courage and started to worry for her safety.
She squirmed around and tried to push his tongue away, she even bit him, but that just seemed to encourage him more.
But it was when he started to grope her breast that she started to feel like the little girl hidden in the closet all over again. She started to trash violently and bit off a good portion of his tongue, but he just laughed and moaned in pleasure.
Tears started to form in her eyes. She couldn't believe what was happening, how everything escalated so quickly? Why was he doing this? She knew how cruel Alucard could be, but this?
She started to call for Hans. But then, Alucard released her.
He was frowning and breathing heavily. When he noticed how scared Seras looked his frown deepened. Alucard turned around, not wanting to see how much he had hurt Seras feelings with such vulgar and rash action.
This mood swings had been happening since Integra died; the seals had been broken and he was free... but there seemed to be some side effects.
He really didn't want to hurt Seras, he came here to take her with him but he didn't count with her changing how she felt about him...and the werewolf.
He suspected that those two were more then just good acquaintances or friends, but he wasn't sure.
And now this; he had crossed a delicate line that he swore never cross with anyone, and less with Seras; but his usual temperament was even more violent. And his powers had been affected too, he had a hard time in controlling them... If he wanted to Seras to come with him he needed to have patience and more self-control.
"Seras, I-" Counted were the times that he apologized to someone. He turned around to face her, but the words were caught in his throat when he saw Seras.
She was already standing, her small hands tightly clenched at her sides. Her lower lip was trembling, and in her eyes were unshed tears... but what took him by surprise was the look of total hate in her eyes, the fear and helplessness she was feeling, the resentment for all those years of being psychological abused by him and the disgust she felt by his early actions.
That look...those eyes... the eyes of someone who had nothing, who was alone in the world and the odds were against them, but they'll keep fighting until the end. The eyes that promised hell and chaos against their enemies and those who had wronged them.
The very same look he used to have when he was a human...
"I hate you." Her voice was clear and loud, the words were pronounced between clenched teeth, almost spatting them, as if they tasted foul in her mouth. "Integra should have put you back from the hole you came from." Just as she growled the words out she launched herself against Alucard.
She hit him straight in the stomach, sending him flying to the nearest wall, destroying said wall in the process, in an instant he was outside, in the backyard.
Alucard chuckled in delight, standing up and dusting himself.
"Is that so Seras?" He send her a fierce look. "You ungrateful brat!" All amusement disappeared from his face. "After all I did for you? And this is how you repay your master?" His temper seemed to flare up more and more.
"After all YOU DID!? FOR ME!?" Seras was hysterical. "You did nothing but to make my life miserable! Dragging me to that war! Dragging me to this life! You said so yourself! We are damned!" She ran towards him, her shadowy arm taking the form of a giant hammer; and with a rage filled scream she started to hammer around the yard, trying to land a blow on Alucard.
But every time he just phased away, evading her hits.
From one moment to the next he appeared behind her taking her by the back of her neck with his left hand; he lifted her and with his other one he grabbed his jackal and shoot her in the center of her hip.
The bullet incrusted itself on the bone and exploded. Liquid silver and blessed water making her scream in pain.
He let her fall, watching how she writhed in pain and tried to get the bullet out.
"I'm tired of games, police girl; and it's a long way from Russia to Romania." He grabbed her by the waist and threw her over his shoulder. Seras grunted in pain and tried to kick him, but her legs didn't move at all, in fact, the lower half of her body was paralyzed.
She tried to claw his back and even bite him, but Alucard was unfazed; he kept a strong grip on her waist.
"Stop that Police girl." He growled, quite annoyed. "It will make the removal of the silver even more harder and painful; so you better stay still."
"NO!" Seras screamed on his ear, and he flinched away. "I rather die than obey you! Put me down!" Not even a second later, she was hitting the ground with so much force that her spine broke in several pieces. Alucard was on top on her hissing on her face.
"Is that so Seras!?Is that what you want?!" He screamed on her face, his eyes were shinning with contained fury.
"Yes!" Seras screamed back. For a moment Alucard backed away, and Seras was surprised to find a hurtful expression on his eyes; but just as it came, it went away.
He sneered, and then, sank his fangs on her neck.
"Noooo!" Seras screamed. She clawed at his back and tried to push him off, but she was quickly getting weaker and weaker.
After a while all she could do was cry in desperation.
So that's how she ended? After all those years? After all those battles? Drained by him... the same who had gave and take so much from her...
She moved her head to the side, facing the destroyed wall.
She was giving up, she knew that... at the end he had won, at the end he had been right... at the end she had been weak, just like he had said...
'Forgive me Hans...'
The moment the door closed, light blue mist surrounded his body. An enormous white wolf appeared from the dense mist.
Hans looked back to the house and growled, his big canines showing in all its glory.
He started to walk towards the dense foliage of the forest, were the mountain began.
He searched for a high place, where he could have a good vision of the house.
Although he was furious with Seras, he couldn't stop worrying about her; It was very suspicious that Alucard appeared out of nowhere and then requested, not demanded, but requested to speak with Seras. He knew he was plotting something...
He found the perfect spot in a large rock, he could see their house and the outskirt of the small city that was a few miles away of the small town they lived in.
He could see Seras in the kitchen, she had took a seat near a window but he couldn't see her face; her back was facing the window.
A moments later he could see how she was yelling something, and then Alucard slammed his fist in the counter, breaking it. He immediately took a defensive stance, ready to run if he tried to hurt Seras.
But then, they calmed. He relaxed a little but still eyed the window with narrowed eyes.
The minutes passed and Seras seemed a lot more calmer, she wasn't speaking, Alucard was telling her something. Hans tried to read his lips, he seemed to be talking about... cheddar? He cached a few more words, innocent, young, potential... 'I shoot you?'
He frowned. Seras had told him about that night outside the church in cheddar, she also told him about her suspects, that Alucard had killed her on purpose. Was that what were they talking about? So Alucard had intentionally wounded her to dead... he didn't know what to think of that, in one side, that was sick and selfish; he had took her humanity away just to please some sick pleasure... but in the other hand, if Seras hadn't been a vampire fifty years ago, then she wouldn't have worked for Hellsing, and so, she wouldn't had fight in the battle on London neither against him... he wouldn't have been free, he wouldn't had fell in love with her...
"Seras..." He whispered her name.
He was brought back to reality when he saw Alucard standing in front of Seras.
He quickly stood up and watched the scene intently. Alucard raised his head and looked directly into Hans eyes. Hans looked back defiantly, but Alucard just smirked. Hans had a bad feeling about that smirk, but he didn't move from his place on top of the rock.
Alucard started to touch Seras face, his eyes glowing red; And then, suddenly, Seras got up.
Hans breath was heavy, he could feel his heart beating so fast against his chest...their lips were inches apart...
With a feral roar, Hans turned around and ran with all his force further into the mountain.
With every step he took the snow was getting thicker, he could feel the cold in his bones and the frost in his fur. But the heartache was much more cruel then any physical pain, so he kept running.
Tiredness didn't take long to appear. With his remaining strength he pounded his whole body against a tree; he didn't know what to do with the grief and the anger, he didn't know who to blame... so he just kept pounding and growling like a rabid animal.
Blood was dripping down from his fur, staining the pure white of the snow. His eyes lost in the little droplets that fell now and then.
'Vhy...' He asked over and over again to himself...
It was his fault... he had knew that Seras loved Alucard... and even then, he fell for her... He gave her everything, he loved and cared for her, he gave her his heart... But she-!... she loved other...
He didn't needed to see how they kissed to knew how they felt about each other.
Anyway, what was he thinking? He couldn't just make her forget about all those years she spend with Alucard, he was powerful and had created her, he knew the special bond that master and fledgling shared. And who was he to break that? A war criminal, a Nazi, a murderer...a dog...
He was mad, so mad... he wanted to yell at her - if he could- and shake some sense into her! Alucard had treat her so harsh, he had rejected her! Why was she running into his arms once again?!...
On the other hand, he wanted her to be happy... with or without him, how could he deny that bright and sweet smile of hers? How could he ever imagine to hold her back just to fulfill his selfishness? It would kill him to see how every day she longed for other life, for other touch...for other man...
With a resigned sight he started to make his way back to the house.
When he arrived, the first thing he noted was how quiet everything was... maybe they had already left? His chest constricted with such thought but nonetheless he though it was for the best.
He changed back to his human form, taking seat on a bench that was in the back yard, he took a deep breath but stopped mid action. A strong smell of blood hit his nose, he sniffed the air again and immediately recognized the essence, it was Seras blood!
He rounded the house, heading to where the smell was stronger.
Hans eyes widened by the scene before him. Seras laid unconscious on a pool of her own blood, standing besides her was Alucard, who was looking expressionless at her.
Without a second thought Hans launched himself against Alucard, but his objective leaped nimbly to the side.
"I must say that I wasn't expecting this from her..." Alucard spoke absently, a trace of disappointment in his voice.
Hans was clueless about what Alucard was talking about, besides, he wasn't even paying attention; the rage was for more greater, it clouded his rational judgment.
"With an animal like you!" Alucard hissed., his face changed from a cold and emotionless expression to one full of madness. The night turned even more obscure, the shadows started to shake violently and the cold mountain air blew even harder.
Alucard's ire was palpable, but Hans stood his ground, observing attentively his actions.
He had always thought that Alucard wanted Seras as a mere whim or just lust...but now he was having seconds thought on that, he really genially looked like it was affecting him... still, Hans reminded himself that, spoiled children are never happy to share their toys.
And ultimately, Hans couldn't care less about Alucard's feelings towards Seras. He could only but speculate what had happened when he was on the mountain, but it was obvious that they fought, they had clearly disagreed on something...
The matter at hand was that Alucard had hurt Seras; He seriously needed to get the hell out of there and never came back.
Yes, at first Hans had doubted whether Seras loved him or not, but right now it wasn't important, if he needed to fight against Alucard or anyone else over her, then he would do it; He would be damned if he gave up after everything they had lived through, he loved Seras and he was going to prove it.
The floor beneath him trembled, the large shadows from the woods started to make its way towards him.
Spikes emerged from the ground, trying to impale him, but Hans was faster and ran towards Alucard; he evaded most of the spikes, but for one that managed to pierce his right lung.
When Alucard saw that the stake in his chest wasn't stopping Hans at all, he quickly drew his gun from his trench coat and began to shooting Hans.
Hans dodged the bullets and in less then a second he was standing before Alucard. Eyes burning with hate and fangs ready to tear apart.
White mist surrounded his body, fur growing all over his body.
Alucard snarled, as if responding to a challenge, and he also started to change his form; the shadows latched onto his body, bones cracking and growing, and three pairs of red eyes appeared on his lycanthrope face.
Two enormous beasts stood, facing each other; one white as the snow that surrounded them and the other as black as the night itself.
The first one to attack was Hans; he attacked directly to Aucard's neck, taking a great portion of flesh between his jaws.
Alucard growled and with his giant paw knocked him to the side, he clawed Hans in the face, successfully ripping a portion of his snout.
Hans jumped and kicked Alucard in the stomach, he landed on a tree trunk, a big branch piercing his stomach. Hans took Alucard by the throat and punched him in the face repeatedly.
Alucard shadows pierced Hans stomach; tiny spikes grew inside him, ravaging his insides. Hans tried to break free but the shadows just pierced even more deep.
After some moments of struggling he freed himself by biting the things off. But Alucard was there in an instant, hundreds of black tendrils surrounded Hans, impaling him, they burned like silver and felt like little bugs slowly eating his flesh.
"You didn't think it was going to be that easy did you?" Alucard chuckled as he appeared in front of Hans, who was snarling viciously at him.
"This time I will kill for good." Alucard voice was low and menacing. He slowly raised his hand, and then, he snapped his fingers.
Everything looked as if time had slowed down; Hans could feel how the tendrils pulled his legs and torso, how his skin gave away and ripped apart. He could feel the muscles tearing, the snow melting away by the heat of his blood. The sound of his internal organs hitting the ground.
Alucard had ripped Hans in half. A silent scream left Hans throat.
For Alucard, Hans face was priceless; of all those years of having know him, he had never saw the mutt to have other expression then his impassive self, and he liked it.
He really wanted to teach him a lesson and torture him some more, but he also wanted to go back to his castle and take Seras with him.
"Some last words?" He asked Hans in a mocking tone. "No? Ok then." Alucard raised his hand, palm ready to pierce through Hans chest.
"NO! STOP!" Alucard stopped dead in his tracks. "I'll go with you!" He slowly turned his head to face Seras. She had crawled all the way to the woods, her body was full of dirt and her clothes were completely soaked, there was a fresh trail of blood behind her.
"You are coming with me anyway." He smirked evilly and turned to finish what she had interrupted.
"I won't try to escape! J-Just don't kill him!" Seras tried to crawl further, but a coughing fit stopped her. "P-please... Alucard..." Seras begged weakly.
For a moment, Alucard decided to ignore Seras; in any case, she couldn't do much to stop him... at least not in her actual state.
But then he saw all the blood that had pooled around Hans... with all the blood loss the werewolf didn't have much time.
So at the end he decided to not kill him... well, not pierce his heart...
Alucard walked to where Seras was lying. She looked up to him with wide eyes, scared of what he could do to her now that she had accepted to go with him.
But Alucard just smirked, leaned over her and whispered in her ear.
"Time to go home Police girl." He took her by the waist and lifted her.
"No! Wait, I need to-"
And then, they were gone.
I want to clarify that Seras was holding back on purpose, it will be explained in the next chapters. Also, the history is coming to an end! i think there's left like 2 or 3 chapters... so yeah. leave a review telling me how much it sucked or any questions or even new ideas for a fic, i have some but they are half-baked :P
