Fan Fiction The Second Glass Chapter 17 ~ 2 ~

The Second Glass

Chapter Seventeen

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.

Also I do not own Hellsing or any part of it.

Enjoy.

**I just would like to thank everyone for their support and reviews as well as their patience lol. Had a few things turn 180 in my life but I'm back on track now and eager to finish The Second Glass.**

Following Daniel's lead the young vampires follow Walter downstairs, deep within the basement to a long stone corridor.

"We have special accommodations for vampires down here, free from sunlight and silver." Walter explains as they walk. "Each room is furnished with a bed, but a coffin can be arranged if you so prefer. There is no drinking of anyone on the grounds, and blood will be brought to you daily. It is not recommended you be about the grounds until given the word from either Alucard, Integra, or I. The people here are just now used to seeing Seras around, and will not take kindly to strange vampires wandering about."

"Will any hunting be allowed in the woods?" Amanda asks from near the back. Walter glances behind him.

"Do you know how to do it properly?" He inquires. Amanda flushes and nods furiously.

"Yes. Seras taught me." she says softly. Daniel swears he sees a flash of a smile on the old man's face before he turns back to the hall before him.

"Indeed I bet she did." Around a bend he stops, gesturing before him. "Here are several rooms, all of which are at your disposal except the two at the far end. Those belong to Seras. I don't think I need to tell you where Alucard is." Walter remarks. Daniel shakes his head.

"No, I am sure we can find him if we must. Thank you Walter." He nods once before turning and in moments he is gone.

The group stands silent in the hallway a long moment, all staring at Daniel and he heaves a sigh.

"We know what we need to do. We are here to rescue Seras."

"What about Matt?" Amanda inquires. "What do we do about him?" Daniel's gaze hardens and he clenches his fists.

"I will rip his heart out myself." He hisses.

"A very interesting attitude." Alucard's voice echoes through the hall. All of them stop and look around, Amanda spotting the elder vampire at the end of the hall. He leans against the wall, red eyes glowing in the darkness.

"A very interesting attitude indeed. How will you do that, Daniel? You're fighting skills are mediocre at best." Daniel scowls and moves to the front of the group, facing off with the vampire.

"I may be young compared to you but I have something that you seem to lack. Passion. I want to rescue Seras. I want revenge on Matt for betraying is. I want his blood for endangering Seras and betraying us all. I may not be at your level, or even at Seras's level, but I will beat him." Daniel says firmly.

Silence fills the hall, the others behind Daniel murmuring softly as Alucard and Daniel stare at one another.

Finally Alucard stands, approaching them slowly. His boots on the stone silence the murmurs behind him and Daniel does not budge as Alucard stops just a foot before him.

"You are young, impertinent, and weak." Alucard states. Daniel stares right back at him.

"Well you're an asshole." Daniel hears Amanda's startled squeak behind him but he ignores it, refusing to break his stare with Alucard.

After a long, tense moment of silence Alucard laughs quietly, backing up a step.

"You truly did spend a lot of time with Seras. You have inherited her attitude and mouth as well. It will be interesting working with you all." Alucard murmurs before disappearing into thin air, only his quiet laughter remaining.

Daniel stumbles as Amanda claps him soundly across the back of the head.

"What the hell were you thinking!" She exclaims. "He could have killed you for talking to him like that!" Daniel rubs the back of his head and turns to them.

"That was a test. He wanted to see if we would simply be weak and cower before him or if we would stand up, defy him and prove our courage before him. I suspect if he had deemed us less than what he liked, we would find ourselves on the next plane home or even worse, his dinner. Get to bed everyone. The sun will be up in a few hours. Tomorrow night we scout the grounds, feed, and begin looking for Seras."

again thanks to all the reviews and support. I am already halfway done with chapter 18 so look for it some time next week!
