The Second Glass
Chapter Twenty
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.
As the sun sets the screams end, Anderson waiting a few more minutes before unlocking the door.
The room within is dim, the fading sun providing little light in the space. Three walls and the ceiling are a dark tinted glass, special tempered glass that lets in only a fraction of the sun's natural light. The floor itself is concrete with small, intricate crosses making up the darker grey pattern on the floor. The fourth wall that contains the doorway is brickwork, the outer layer of wall and inner layer seperated by a thin layer of silver.
Anderson shuts the door behind him, hearing the lock click into place by the guard outside.
A steel plate laced with silver sits in teh middle of the floor, chains running up from the floor to trap the being kneeling on the floor.
The scent of scorched skin fills the room, small whisps of smoke rising from the blackened skin on the beings back. Quiet whimpers can be heard, the only other sound aside from Anderson's footsteps as he approaches the vampire. He kneels before him, grabbing the tangled hair and jerking the victim's head back.
Matt let's out cry of pain as the charred skin on his exposed neck and back are moved, Anderson forcing his head up to look at his face.
"Night has fallen, vampire. Tell me, how was your day?" He chuckles as Matt only whimpers again, squeezing his eyes shut.
"Just kill me and get it over with." Matt says throughgritted teeth, his voice hoarse from screaming. Anderson laughs.
"Oh i don't think so. We still have use for you. We won't be letting you die just yet."
"You betrayed me. You and the Iscariot promised me that I would be free of your organization once i did this for you."
"You betrayed your friends and even that cute little vamp you like so much. Just for your own freedom. Betrayal is in your nature, vampire. There is no honor among creatures of hell."
"You dishonored your promise to me. What's that say about you?" Matt retorts. Anderson growls in rage, backhanding Matt so hard his nose snaps. Matt jerks against the restrains, letting out a groan as Anderson stands. He drops a bag of blood on the floor at Matt's feet and heads for the door, a swift knock causing teh door to unlock. As it swings open Anderson smiles over his shoulder at Matt.
"Enjoy your meal vampire. If you can reach it."
In Integra's office she hears several thuds from behind her and swivels her chair around to see the four younger vampires landing on her balcony. They file in silently to stand before her desk, each expression apprehensive. Beside her Walter looks them over, unfazed as Alucard appears at his side out of thin air. Integra acknoledges his presence with a nod before speaking.
"I was able to contact one of our spies within the Iscariot organization and they just got word back to me a few minutes ago. Apparently the Iscariot organization has an underground base in Northern Ireland, near the town of Badrick. We were able to get a rough estimate of where the base is but the spy was discovered before he could get us the rest of the information. It is too close to dawn for you all to reach the area of the base before the sun rises. We will spend the rest of the night preparing for the assault and teaming up. For now go feed well and meet back here in one hour."
Once the four young vampires are gone Integra turns to Alucard. He is standing back near the windows, a shadow among the shadows themselves. Walter catches the quick gesture of Integra's hand and he disappears out the door as well without a word.
Alone in the office Integra leans back in her chair, contemplating the vampire before her.
"Alucard. You know something." She says softly. He does not respond at first, and when he shifts his gaze to her Integra mentally flinches. The red eyes, once holding a spark of some emotion, weither it be malice or jest, are now dead. The cold red gaze remains on her a long moment before he looks away.
"I have been searching for Seras ever night since the day she disappeared. Before i could sense her, dim as it was i knew she was there."
"And now?" Integra inquires softly. She sees one white gloved hand clench into a fist.
"I cannot feel her. Since sundown i have not been able to sense her at all, only darkness."
Silence reigns a long moment, Integra collecting her thoughts before speaking.
"Should we call off the plan?" She asks. Alucard shoots her a glare, rage flaring in his maroon eyes.
"No. She's not gone, i just can't sense her." He snaps. Integra sighs.
"Is that hope in your voice Alucard?" Integra prods. This seems to catch him off guard and he stares down at her. After a moment she sees a ghost of a smile on his lips.
"You have truly rubbed off on me my master." Integra shakes her head and taps the tip of her cigar on its ash tray.
"I am your master. If i wasn't rubbing off on you i would be failing my duty as your master."
As he fades she hears Alucard's' chuckle.
"Indeed. See you in an hour, my master."
