Hi people. I'm back with another update. I must apologize for this chapter. This one felt like it was forced out because I really didn't want to type but I don't want to let you guys down. Discaimer: I DON'T OWN HELLSING! IT BELONGS TO KOUTA HIRANO! PLEASE SUPPORT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE! Also I don't own the song used. It belongs to it's original owner I hope you enjoy it though^^
With the announcement of the big trip to Romania, everyone was getting ready for it, except for Alexis. She sits in her coffin with her mind deep in thought of why so suddenly they are going to Romania. Sphere was floating next to her while she continues in her train of thought. Her blue dress is hunched over her knees as she lays her head on them. The door opened without her realizing it and her mother looked at her daughter with a concern look on her face.
"Alexis? Are you alright?" She asked as she walked over and kneeled beside her. Alexis blinked before looking at her mother with her red eyes.
"I'm fine" She answered sweetly as she moved her black bangs out of her eyes. Seras let out a small smile before nodding.
"Alright. You're father and I are going to go shopping for the trip. We are going to buy something extra things to make us comfortable" She replied as she stood up while continuing to gaze at her daughter. Alexis nodded before watching her mother leave the room. She let out a sigh before grabbing her notebook and began to write.
"Did you have anything to do with this sudden trip?" She wrote down in the notebook. She saw in a few seconds as a reply came up from her father.
"No. I'm shocked as you are, but it might be nice to get out of England for a while. It'll give you a chance for you to see my castle, your real home" She nods before closing the notebook and stepping out of the coffin. Her parents are going shopping while Walter and Integra are going to visit the queen for permission to leave the country. The 'Wild Geese' are going to do their own thing so that means she's going to be by herself in huge manor for a least a good few hours.
She let out another sigh before getting up and stepping out of her coffin. She went towards the door but stopped in the middle of the room. She felt a sudden whoosh inside her head. The whoosh turned into a pain feeling that she had to grab her head with both hands in hope of numbing it down.
She got on her knees as she clutched her head harder, feeling the pain only get worse over time. She looked up and saw Sphere floating just above her.
"What is going on?" She asked herself as she fell to the floor and just laid there. She closed her eyes as the pain took over her mind. Her minded drifted off as she felt a vision appear in her mind.
She saw that she was standing in the middle of a throne room. Like the room she had seen before, it was painted with red and gold design. She looked and saw a woman standing by a window. Her blonde hair was grown down to the back of her waist with her red dress under it.
"My queen!" A teenage girl ran into the room with her footprints leaving blood on the ground. The 'queen' turned around to look at the girl. Seeing the queen's face made Alexis gasp loudly. The queen held her mother's face except with the red eyes. Alexis turned to see the girl run towards her.
Alexis was about to move out of the way but the girl had gone through her. Literally gone through her that made her seem like an invisible ghost. Her eyes widen in shocked before looking back at the two people standing by the balcony. She felt blood run down her eyes as she saw her mother's face. It should no emotion one bit. She was fearless and unsaved by what was happening.
"What is it Ashlee?" Her mother spoke in a stern tone. Ashlee curtsies slightly before looking back up her queen.
"Eternity has attacked the castle yet again." Ashlee informed the queen. Alexis saw her mother just smirk at the comment.
"Have the defense up and going. We are going to defeat them yet again. They never learn not to attack at night" The queen said as she waved her arm in a solid motion.
"But my queen, they have a caster with them. The leader, William, said he has a spell that will make him to win this war. Seras then 'tsk'ed' before turning back to the window and looking the battle begin to commence. She closed her eyes while letting out a deep sigh. She felt a drop of blood escape from her eyes before more continued to fall down. Ashlee looked at her queen with worry.
"Are we to surrender?" She asked in a worried voice. The queen's reply was turning around to slap Ashlee across the face. Ashlee then covered her right cheek from she had received the strike.
"NEVER!" The queen screamed at her servant. Ashlee looked into the queen's eyes and saw sadness in them for the first time in years. Alexis watched the scene as she was amazed at her mother's determination, but she wasn't crying like that for no reason.
"Then why are you crying my queen?" Ashlee asked as she rubbed her cheek. The queen then looked away from her servant's eyes before letting out a small sob.
"It's my next decision. Ashlee, listen well. No matter what happens. DO NOT SURRENDER!" The queen screamed in stern voice. Ashlee bowed her lowest before leaving the room for preparations. The queen then turned back towards the balcony. She heard the door reopen with Ashlee captured in the human's arms.
"I have your beloved servant, Queen Seras" The human sneered as Ashlee struggled in his hold. The human's red hair that was tied in a high ponytail swinged as she struggled in the embrace. His green eyes pierced the queen's red ones.
"What is it you want William?" The queen asked in a stern voice. William let out a manic laugh as he continued to sneer the queen.
"I want you to surrender and give your life to me." The queen smirked at his demand before sending a hellhound at his direction, making him throw Ashlee to the ground as the hound had missed him and disappeared. William then watched Ashlee go behind the queen for protection.
Alexis watched in amazement at her mother's power. She was indeed more powerful in the future, but she felt something bad was going to happen. William then laughed as he put his arms into the air and a light began to glow in between them. Alexis knew that he was preparing a spell to use on his offense. Ashlee watched the scene as she got in front of the queen.
"Go your majesty. I will take care of him" She told her queen as she got in an offense stance. The ball only got bigger as the seconds passed. The queen grabbed Ashlee's shoulders before turning her around to look at her.
"Remember your orders Ashlee" She whispered as she watched the attack get bigger and smiled. Alexis then eyes widened as she realized what her mother was going to do. William let out another laugh as the ball was its almost biggest size.
"You'll never win this war!" He screamed as he released the ball and it was coming straight at him. Ashlee was then turned around and saw the ball hit the queen in the back. She groaned loudly before her body became limp. Her body was caught in Ashlee's arms. Ashlee had blood come out of her eyes.
"My queen! My queen! Wake up! Please!" She shook the queen as her tears became fiercer. Alexis had more blood coming out of her eyes. William let out a laugh as he figured he won.
"Now the entire queen is out of the way! There's no possible way for you to win this war!" William laughed as he disappeared from sight. Ashlee watched him disappeared as she sobbed while rocking the queen's limped body.
She looked down at her queen's face as she noticed that there was smile on it. She gasped when she figured that she knew that queen had done. She risked her life to protect her own. This fact made more blood escape from her eyes and her sobs got louder.
Alexis had watched the whole scene in front of her and closed her eyes, letting the blood escape greatly. She fell to her knees as she looked back up to her mother's body have more blood come in her face.
"MOMMY!" She screamed as she opened her eyes. She saw that she was in coffin with Sphere hanging over her. She looked up at him before letting her blood escape from her eyes more. She had witnessed her mother's defeat. With her mother and father gone from her kingdom, she made a decision that will affect everyone around her. She had to get back to her original time so that she could end this war.
Seras came into the room before looking back at her daughter. "Alexis? What did you scream out?" She asked as Alucard appeared into the room. Alexis looked up at her mother and saw the future's face mold into her's, causing Alexis to hug her mother as she started to sob in her mother's chest. Seras hugged her daughter tightly as she couldn't figure out why she was so upset of all sudden.
She stopped crying after awhile and looked up at her mother. "I'm sorry. I had a bad dream."
"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked gently as she stroked Alexis' black hair. She earned a shaken head from the little girl.
"Did you go shopping yet?" It was Seras' turn to shake her head. Alucard watched the scene and sneered at the affection but he couldn't help himself to it. He had got so attached to the girl that it made him act out of character when she was kidnapped a few nights ago. It made him wonder who it was that did it though. He never did investigate the matter so he had no clue on what purpose that Alexis' had to them.
Seras stood up, smiling down at Alexis. "We're going to go now. Behave yourself and don't go off the manor's ground. "
"Yes Mother" She answered as she watched them leave. She let out a sigh before looking at Sphere. He just floated there, looking at her.
With hearing the door click, Alexis and Sphere were the only ones left alone in the bedroom. She fell back down into her coffin and let out a sigh. Sphere floated near the ceiling, feeling a dangerous presence come closer to the manor.
Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard from the upper level. Alexis gasped as she got up from her coffin and ran out of the room to investigate the noise. She arrived on the upper level before looking down at the dim hall to see a bunch of men dressed in pure black suits with the infinity symbol in white on their chest. Their face was completely covered as they had guns in arms. They stood in rows upon rows in an order as one stood before them, his back towards Alexis' sight.
"Now gentlemen. The manor is empty so this is the perfect chance to find the princess and end her. With doing this task, victory will be in our reach." The leader said with triumph in his voice. The men cheered before proceeding forward. Alexis gasped as she saw them coming straight at her. She started to run down the hall with Sphere behind her. She accidently tripped on her own feet and the next thing she saw was black.
Alexis woke up with a pain in her head. Her vision was blurry before it sharpened to her perfect sight. She saw the stone ground of the basement with drops of blood dripping down where she looked. Blood ran from her forehead as it went down by her eyes and dripped off her nose. She groaned as she moved her neck up to see the figures stand before her and laughing at her misery. She felt her knees scrape the ground as she moved them slightly.
Her arms were above her head. When she tried to move them, there was a sudden burn in her wrists. She let out a sudden hiss before letting her arms dangle as they previously were. She glanced up at her wrists and saw them chain to the wall, but not with normal chains. Holy chains.
She looked back at the group of men before she watched them go into two separate lines tin order to welcome another. His head moved as he looked down at her.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Princess Alexis" She heard the sneer in his voice. She growled as she glared at him. The figure laughed as she made a whip appear in his hand before striking it towards Alexis, hitting her in the arm. She let out a scream as blood escaped from her arm wound. She looked at the whip as it glowed yellow. She figured it was a holy whip.
The whip cracked again as it hit her again. She hissed at the pain, letting blood escape from her eyes. The whip continued to crack a good ten times before the figure stopped and laughed at her damage.
She began to sob at the pain she felt. It was all over her body. Her blue dress was almost torn off while blood dyed to the color to red, leaving hardly any blue visible. Her sobs were music to her enemies' ears.
"Look men! This is the great Dracula's daughter we're watching cry like the baby she is!" The leader taunted at her, earning laughs from his group of men. They left the room laughing, leaving Alexis alone with her having to bear with the excruciating pain. She closed her eyes as more blood escaped from her wounds and eyes.
"Alexis . . . "Her father's voice called out to her. She opened her eyes to see her father standing before her. Instead of his usual red outfit, he was dressed in a clad of armor that covered him from his knees to his chest with a black cape emitting from his shoulders. She heard the metal of the armor squeaked a bit as he kneeled down to see eye to eye with her. His long hair had been moved out of the way so she sees his face. His eyes were ones of sadness and sympathy while his mouth was frowned that a mustache followed the action.
"Alexis. . . I'm sorry that I cannot take away the pain. You don't deserve any of this and this is what your mother didn't want to happen to you. I would trade places with you in a heartbeat because I don't want to see my only child be in this much pain. The only thing I can do for you at this point are go get reinforcement s and offer this advice. There is a way for you to kill them, but in order to get it is very difficult. You must awaken a darker side of you." He explained in a sadden voice.
"A darker side?" She asked in a whisper.
He nodded at her. "Even though you were born from two full vampires that automatically didn't make you a full vampire. This is something that has been held back from you. In order to become a full vampire, you must awaken the darkness and invite in." He said as he stroked her cheek.
"Will I turn into a monster?" She asked in scream
"This what your mother feared when I first turned her. She didn't want to lose her humanity so she refused to drink blood. However, after she did, she was indeed more powerful but she still had the same kindness in her heart from the night I had met her. Her power is ten times then what it was. If you managed to do the same, your power will be as great as mine." He said with a grin as he stood up. He knew that she could pull it off and then she will be even more sadistic then she is now.
She nods as she saw him disappear through the chained door. She just noticed that this was cell that was kept in the basement. She then closed her eyes to let her mind concentrate as her body fell limp.
Her mind woke up in darkness. Her sight couldn't see anything in front of her. There was nothing there that could greet her sight at all. She looked down and saw that should see her body glow as if it was in daylight. The red dress given to her by her father was on her body. The gold sparkles glittered in the light as she floated in the air.
Suddenly a bright light emitted in front of her and a clone of herself appeared straight across from her. The clone looked before grinning, revealing teeth much similar to her father's. Black red flames came from behind the clone, making Alexis gasp. Outside her mind, whenever her body exhaled a breath, flames would escape from her nose.
"Who are you?" Alexis asked as she looked at the grinning clone. The clone moved closer to her. She let out a small whimper as the clone examined her while still grinning.
"I'm you. I'm your true vampire instinct" Alexis gasped at the answer she had received. She gulped slight before holding out her hand.
"If we touch, we will become one. You will be a part of me as my instinct while I still remain as the humanity." Alexis said as the clone mirror her hand action. As their hands got closer to each other, Alexis' face began to snarl as her puny baby fangs began to sharpen one at a time. Her nails became sharpening as well, turning into claws. The second the hands touched, Alexis' reopened into reality.
She felt immense power going through her body as she let out a laugh. So this it felt like to be a true vampire like her father. She let out a smirk as she absorbed her blood splattered all over the room into her knees. The blood allowed her to heal her wounds.
She let out a little giggle as she pulled the chains off the wall, ignoring the burn in her wrists. She stood up as the chains went off her wrists and clanked on the stone ground. She walked over to the chained door and punching it opened with one swift punch.
Three men standing outside the door turned to look at her, before their eyes started to hold fear in them. She looked at them with her fire=burning red eyes before grinning at them.
Behind them were centipedes that crawled all over the wall. When they caught glimpse of them, they let out a scream as they started to shoot at the bust, but they failed as there was too many of them. They looked back up to see the little girl was gone. They put their backs to each other out of her for her. Suddenly the numbers of centipedes burst into a purple-reddish flame. The flame started to rise and consume the men, despite their agony screams, until they were covered head to toe.
The purple flame then soon turned blood red. The flame receded from the area, releasing the men's bones fall to the ground. Alexis appeared as the flame disappeared and looked down at the men's skeletons. She turned around as she made her way through the hall.
Her hair swayed back and forth as she walked through the halls with a sadistic grin on her face. She sent through the whole basement, burning the solders with her new flame power. She only did this because she didn't want to clean any blood that should be splattered. She then began to laugh as she watched the solder's death came to her sight. She was going to beat this puny army like the Draculina she is.
She arrived on the first floor in a matter of seconds by flying through the ceiling of the basement. She was surrounded by men she had witnessed earlier. They held their guns in her direction, ready to kill her on order. She let out a small giggle as she curtsies at them.
"Good evening gentlemen. I'm sorry that I had to kill your fellow soldiers. They gave me some trouble so I took the necessary the measures" She mused as she looked at every one of them. They started to fire at her, hitting her in every spot of her body. She smiled as she gladly took the damage and felt her skin go off her body as she fell over with her bones showing to them. They stopped firing before laughing at her, thinking she was dead. She then let out a laugh as her body then turned into a mist.
They panicked as they heard a laugh in the air. A high pitched laugh that made their fear goes into their system. She then began to sing a little song that appeared in her mind.
When the Devil is too busy
and Death's a bit too much
they call on me by name you see,
for my special touch.
To the Gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune
To the Ladies I'm Sir Prize
But call me by any name
Any way it's all the same
Flames then came up in the back and started to consume more men. They let out more agonizing screams. She continued to sing in the air.
I'm the fly in your soup
I'm the pebble in your shoe
I'm the pea beneath your bed
I'm a bump on every head
I'm the peel on which you slip
I'm a pin in every hip
I'm the thorn in your side
Makes you wriggle and writhe
Bones began to scattered all over the place as she looked over them. She reappeared before them and grinned at the victory. She then looked ahead to see their reinforcements coming straight for her from the hall. They stopped when they were 10 meters from her. She laughed as she made the purple flame form from far behind him at the end of long hallway and moved it forwards through the men and towards her. She sang again as she saw them burn once more.
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
The purple turned blood red as it came close her. She laughed harder as she managed to kill them for torturing and embracing her. She then moved up to the stairs to the upper level of the manor. She saw there were more men on this floor and they started to fire at her once catching her in their sight. She disappeared into the air and the purple flame returned. The flame ran through the hallway and consumed the men, leaving their skeletons behind. She continued to sing as she reappeared and looked ahead to walk the hall, burning any solder she saw.
While there's children to make sad
While there's candy to be had
while there's pockets left to pick
While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs
I'll be there, I'll be waiting 'round the corner
It's a game. I'm glad I'm in it
'Cause there's one born every minute
She stopped as she flew up to the ceiling and through it. She landed on the roof and gazed down at the ground to see solders all around the manor. She let out another giggle as she summoned the flame once again from the gate and went towards the soldiers. She locked the door when they panicked and tried to get back into the manor. She sang as the flame began to burn to their flesh.
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need.
Their screams were music to her ears as her screams were earlier. Her teeth began to ache since she wanted to sink them into flesh. She saw one solder come out of the house and ran towards the gate. She grinned wider as she knew it was the same man earlier that had whipped her earlier. She then flew in front of him.
"Going somewhere?" She sneered at him. She saw the fear in his eyes and it brought her joy that she was source of it.
"Please let me go!" He asked as he sobbed and backed from her. She smiled sweetly before watching him falling from a skull on the ground. He landed on the ground hard but continued to sob as he looked up at him.
"So this is the man who called me a baby earlier, but look who's the baby now" She giggled at him before walking him and grabbing his neck tightly, cutting his air circulation. She then began to sing sweetly as he gasped for air.
It gets so lonely being evil
what I'd do to see a smile
even for a little while
and no one loves you when you're evil
The solder felt some relief, thinking she was going to let him go. She then grinned widely as she finished.
I'm lying through my teeth!
Your tears are all the company I need
He screamed as she sank her teeth into his neck and sucks his life blood. She saw William again with a flag behind him with the infinity symbol behind him. She let go before watching the human a true death that he deserved. She then looked the moon before disappearing into the manor to clean up.
The next day, she acted like nothing happened. Alucard and Seras knew that she had a transformation because she wasn't her innocent self anymore. She acted like Alucard, but he wasn't complaining about it. He was enthused that he had a good bonding his daughter. Sphere watched Alexis and felt he smile in his figure. She had become a true vampire and he was quite proud. She will be able to help them win the war.
They had boarded a private jet that Integra owned and were heading for Romania. She looked out the window, wondering what she will find in Romania. Integra was sipping wine while talking Walter. Alucard was holding in his lap while stroking her hair. Seras was in a coffin that was in the storage part of the plane. She kept screaming to let her out. Sphere was floating across from Alucard and Alexis.
They had arrived in 4 hours since how fast the jet was. They had unpacked and were looking around the small town for an inn to stay at. As they passed the natives, they noticed that they were whispering about them in the native language. Alucard dismissed while walking behind the main group with Integra leading.
They found a small inn that welcomed them with open arms. After paying the innkeeper, they had gone to their rooms. The rooms were refurnished with two double beds and few recliners beside the window. They had a small bathroom as well as a closet. They set down their 10 luggage bags near the white door of the closet and were careful that they were not close to the blue painted wall.
"Can we go explore the area?" Alexis asked her father. All of them actually like the idea so they went with her. They had left the small inn and began to explore the area near it so that they wouldn't get lost later. Alexis had a guide in her hand and looked at the section that said "Time pool". She arched her eyebrow before showing them.
"Time pool? Sounds odd but it neat. We can see it first if you want Alexis" Integra stated to the girl who nodded happily at the woman. She led the group to the woods where it said the pool was supposed to be located at. She started through first, hearing the others mumble and follow her.
She stopped when she found a small fountain of water that was surrounded by roses. She looked up at them to see they had catches up fast. She took out the guide and began to read it aloud.
"The time pool is a magical fountain that was used to travel into the past in order to fix mistakes. This was epically popular among nobles but no one had witnessed the true power. The legend goes under a lunar eclipse; the pool will take anyone to their destined time if they jump in when it glows."
"What a load of hogwash." Alucard commented at the subject. Everyone just sweat drop at it. Alexis looked up at the red moon before looking down at the fountain to see it started to glow. She put her hand on a wet rock to get a closer look, but she slipped in with a yelp. Sphere then went inside as well. The group of adults just arched their eyebrows before they saw her disappear underwater and began to panic.
They had figured that the legend was true so they all jump into the fountain and sank underwater, gasping for air before feeling a water whoosh go through their skin. They had surfaced before looking at Alexis standing on the bank with Sphere.
"Alexis!" They said in unison except Alucard. They all got out of the fountain before looking ahead to see a young teenage girl curtsying to them. She looked up at the group before smiling at them. She walked closer to Alexis before taking her hands and kissing them gently.
"You have returned. Welcome home Princess Alexis" The girl said with a heavy Romanian accent.
DUN DUN DUNNN! I hoped you like this chapter because I felt like it wasn't my best work. The song I used is called when you're evil. I heard it yesterday and I had to put in it. ^^ Also people who fans with Alucard and Seras drama, I don't plan to add much more of it in this story. I plan to write a equal to this story that will be about Seras and there will be PLENTY of drama in that story. I'm not going to start that until I get done with this one. I don't work with two stories because of writer's block is formed like that. Speaking of which, I felt this chapter is not my best because of I think I have starter symptoms of writers block. I'm going to take a little break from this story. Probably about a week until I get back up and ready for it. I'm not going to abandon this story because of how successful it is. I hope to see more reviews too.
