Fan Fiction The Second Glass Chapter 13 ~ 3 ~
The Second Glass
Chapter Thirteen
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, although there probably will not be any citrus for (definitely several) chapters.
Also I do not own Hellsing or any part of it.
Enjoy.
The hall outside the office is choked with ghouls but Daniel and Amanda swiftly set to work. He watches her out of the corner of his eye, pride filling him as he sees her movements are quick and clean as she moves through the ranks. By the time they reach the doors and Samuel bursts through them both Daniel and Amanda are breathless. They stand on either side of the door, watching the hallways in either direction. Inside the office they can hear Samuel's quiet words and Jess's sobbing.
"Daniel. Need your help in here." Samuel says from the office. Amanda and Daniel share a look before he ducks inside, Amanda taking up station in the middle of the doorway.
Daniel hesitates when he sees the scene and dread fills him.
Reece is sitting with his back to the desk, legs stretched out before him on the floor. He has a gun in one hand, the other over a large piece of cloth pressed to his chest. Jess is kneeling at his side, trying hard to keep quiet as tears roll down her face.
"I tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen to me. I never knew ghouls could shoot a gun. I never knew." Jess repeats, rocking slightly. "It's all my fault!"
Daniel strides up to her and grabs Jess's arm, hauling her to her feet.
"You will listen to me and listen to me good Jess. You need to shape up and get it together. You need to help Amanda and Samuel get Reece up to the roof. You hear me? Get to the roof!"
Amanda ducks inside the office, appearing at his side.
"There are no more ghouls on this floor but I can hear them below. They're trashing the rooms. It doesn't sound like there are many of them left." Daniel nods and points to Reece.
"You help Jess and Samuel get Reece to the roof." Amanda nods as Daniel turns away.
"What about you?"
"I'm going to clean this place out." Daniel growls, heading for the door. Amanda follows him out, waiting till they are out of sight before grabbing his arm. She spins him around and kisses him hard before pushing him away.
"If you get a scratch on you I'm gonna be pissed." She says softly. Daniel chuckles and gives her a mock salute before disappearing down the corridor.
Once on the roof and Reece's wounds taken care of Samuel and Amanda prowl the rooftop, watching the forest intently.
Where is Seras and Alex? And where is Matt? Damn him for disappearing like this. I wonder if Seras and Alex are all right. The thoughts flash through her mind, her worry mounting with each passing minute.
Far below a window explodes outward and three ghouls are catapulted out the window, followed by Daniel. He finishes them off easily before turning and looking up at the rooftop. Even from three stories away she can see him smile. He gives her a thumbs up.
The mansion is cleared. I can't find any more ghouls in the building but it's pretty trashed inside. I'm going to go look for…His voice dies as he hears something she can't and he spins to the forest, crouched and at a ready. Amanda looks as well, unable to see anything at first.
Daniel sees it first and jerks in surprise before looking up at Amanda, fear on his face before he leaps toward the trees.
Amanda get down here now! He yells in her mind.
"Samuel! Stay here!" She yells over her shoulder before leaping from the roof. She lands without incident and her heart leaps as she sees Daniel helping someone from the trees.
Alex leans heavily against Daniel, the latter practically having to drag the younger man from the tree line. Alex is covered in blood, his shirt soaked with it. Amanda takes his other arm, alarmed as he hisses in pain.
"Alex what happened?" Amanda asks softly as she checks his wounds.
"We were ambushed. Seras saw him first and seemed to recognize him." Alex pauses. "She sounded so afraid. Whoever that was, he scared the hell out of her."
"What else?" Daniel asks as they reach the building.
"She told me to run. I was going to stay and fight but the man attacked. He was so fast I barely dodged." Daniel lowers Alex to the ground carefully, Amanda kneeling beside him.
"But all this blood… You aren't wounded that badly. Where'd all the blood come from?" She asks, dread filling her. Alex leans his head back, his expression pained.
"It's Seras's."
They manage to get Alex to the rooftop and Jess immediately begins tending to him despite his repeated assurances. Amanda can see her hands trembling as she bandages one of Alex's wounds, remaining silent. Reece is sitting nearby, looking to be in quite a bit of pain but alive. Samuel is standing at the edge, keeping watch when Daniel approaches Amanda.
She wraps her arms around herself, suddenly appearing small and frightened as the events of the night catch up to her.
"What are we going to do? Seras is gone, Reece and Alex are wounded, Matt's disappeared…What are we going to do Daniel?"
All the vampires on the roof suddenly flinch as a high pitched, incessant screech fills the air. Amanda and the others clap their hands over their ears, Reece and Jess watching in confusion.
"What is that noise?" Daniel says through gritted teeth. Jess's abrupt shriek draws their attention and Daniel jerks, staring in the direction she's pointing.
Bats suddenly flood the rooftop, their wings and small bodies battering against them. Jess throws her body across Alex's, shielding him from the bats.
Daniel's eyes widen as a presence suddenly cloaks the entire rooftop in a dark malevolence, an intense and ancient power so oppressive Daniel has to remind himself to breathe.
The bats vanish and the noise ceases, sending the rooftop into silence.
Daniel straightens, the rest of the group following suit than shifting toward him as he faces the being on the other end of the rooftop.
Tall and lean he stands silently, arms behind his back. A dark gray suit and crimson overcoat blend into the night. Long ebony hair moves silently in the breeze.
Red eyes take in the group before looking directly at Daniel. Faint memories arise, images he recognizes are not his own and a name surfaces.
Alucard. His voice breaks the silence of the night, full of deadly intent.
"Where is Seras Victoria?"
Boom Boom Boom...
