Fan Fiction The Second Glass Chapter 4 ~ 3 ~
The Second Glass
Chapter Seven
Authors Note: Alright this is my first Hellsing FanFic and I got the idea while watching Hellsing (duh).
The Story as a whole will remain RATED M FOR LEMON, just not the next few (or several) chapters.
Also I do not own Hellsing or any part of it.
Enjoy.
Daniel stares at her index finger, his breathing labored, his hands clenching the arms of the chair hard enough to dent the metal but still he holds himself back. Seras's eyes narrow as a single drop of blood drips from her finger onto the floor.
"If you are the quality of Vampire that you insist you are, one drop of my blood will reveal the truth to you. Can you handle that?" She asks quietly, the tone a clear challenge. Daniel shakes his head slight and leans forward, grasping her hand gently as he draws her hand toward him. The soft touch of his tongue on her finger seals the wound and leaves a small red streak on his tongue. Seras takes her hand back, one hand on her hip as Daniel continues to stare up at her. She can see the wheels in his mind churning as he closes his mouth and Seras waits.
Daniel's eyes widen in alarm as he continues to stare up at her and she nods.
"You can see them can't you? The blood memories. They are faint, only that single drop not strong enough to overwhelm you but you can still see them. Do you doubt me now?" Seras asks in a low, husky voice. Daniel shakes his head and Seras returns to her seat.
"I will let you know right now, I will not be lenient. You will be asked and expected to do things you will not like. You will see things that will bring you nightmares come morning. You will fight, in defense of your country as well as mankind. If you do not like this, I suggest you leave now. If you return to this room one hour after sunset tomorrow night there will be no going back. You will suck it up and keep going. There will be no quitting starting tomorrow night. Am I understood?"
The five before her nod, eyes grim and silent and Seras nods, rising smoothly to her feet.
"You are dismissed for the night. Do whatever you wish."
The group watches, silent, as Seras walks around the tables, to the back windows and passes through them like a ghost, never stopping as she passes through the glass and disappearing into the night beyond.
Reece leans back from his desk, tapping an index finger against his chin in thoughtful silence. Behind him Jess stares at the same computer screen, eyes round and hands white knuckled on her clipboard. After the meeting room has emptied Reece turns off the monitor and swings his chair slightly to look up at Jess. She continues to stare at the computer monitor.
"She frightened Daniel. I didn't think that was even possible." Jess murmurs. Reece nods.
"Indeed. We may have gotten in over our heads with her." Reece remarks. Jess's gaze flicks from the monitor to Reece.
"What should we do?" Jess asks. Reece suddenly smiles.
"Let her do as she pleases for now. We need to see how far this will go before we act." Jess nods and her grip relaxes on her clip board.
There is a soft knock on the door and Reece's face shows mild shock a moment before he plasters on a smile.
"Come in!"
Instead of the door opening Seras steps through the door, smiling slightly at Jess's sharp inhale of shock before Seras stops before Reece's desk
"Do you approve so far?" Seras asks. Reece's eyebrow raises in surprise then he nods.
"You know about the cameras." Seras nods
"Vampiric hearing." Reece chuckles.
"I do approve. You've got a very direct way of dealing with them." Seras loses her smile.
"I will not accept any second guessing. If I feel if one of them is a danger to the team I will deal with it." Her tone implies it all as Reece nods.
"It is up to your discretion Seras. They are yours to command." She nods and flashes him a smile.
"I would also like access to phone."
"There is one provided in your room, Seras." Jess supplies. Seras smiles a little wider.
"I have been to my room already, and though it is quite nice I would appreciate access to a phone that isn't tapped, thank you." Reece chuckles and reaches into his desk. Pulling out a small black phone he tosses it to Seras.
"Please realize that it is only for our security that the phone is tapped. All the phones in the building are tapped, including my own. Only the company cell phones are not. This one is yours." Seras catches it easily, studying it. The top half of the phone slides up revealing a miniature keypad. She snaps it shut and smiles.
"Thank you very much. Now if you don't mind I would like to explore a bit. There is a wide area to cover and only a few hours before dawn." Reece nods and watches as Seras turns, giving a small wave over her shoulder before disappearing from the room.
On the rooftop Seras slides the phone open and dials a random number before putting it to her ear. Listening intently she cannot pick up even the slightest sound that would indicate a tapping device within the phone. Just as a sleepy and irritated voice answers the phone Seras ends the call and dials another number, one she knows quite well.
"Speak to me Seras." The familiar voice snaps into the phone.
"I have arrived Sir Integra."
"Good. Any trouble?"
"None Sir Integra. They did have a bit of a doubt about my capabilities but I put that to rest rather swiftly." Seras says with a note of smugness. Over the phone she hears Integra's soft chuckle.
"I do not doubt that Seras. For now I want you to report in every week at this day and time unless otherwise hindered. Is that understood?"
"Yes Sir Integra." She pauses. "If I may ask, is Alucard there?"
There is a pause on the other end of the phone than Seras hears Integra sigh.
"No Seras. He's out on a mission. A group of ghouls was discovered in the north regions of England." Seras lifts her chin slightly.
"Right. I will report in next week as ordered."
"Don't let this sway you Seras." Integra says softly. "Remain focused on your task at hand."
"I will Sir Integra."
The click on the other end of the phone is sharp in the sudden silence and Seras sighs, shutting the phone with a soft snap and settling it into a pocket.
"I do not take kindly to being ordered about, especially by a woman." A sharp male voice says from behind her. Seras turns slowly, meeting Daniel's angry gaze. She crosses her arms.
"Is that all you came up here to say?" His gaze darkness as he stalks toward her. A few feet away he stops.
"I have been the leader of this group since it was started. I have trained them. I have brought them together. I have given them an idea of a future beyond simply wandering the country side alone and cast as outcasts and murderers. I will not allow that to be destroyed by your militaristic attitude!" Daniel growls. Seras's gaze softens as she sees the hurt and vulnerability buried in Daniel's gaze.
"I don't want to destroy that Daniel, I want to build on it." His gaze falters and his body relaxes slightly.
"What are you talking about?"
Seras smiles and nods toward the expanse of dark woods. She can see the twins down near the tree line talking. Not far into the woods Matt and Samuel are playing a game of tag through the branches.
"Come. Let me show you."
My muse decided to grace me with her presence this weeked and voila! two chapters over the weekend. This is swiftly developing into a full fledged story so i have no idea how many more chapters are ahead lol. I'm just kind of writing it as it goes. =) Enjoy!
