Order 6: P.S. Lord have mercy on me
My hand is trembling as I stumble into a cathedral, I clutch my arm, this cursed arm, at the end of it be the hand I used to hold that artifact with which I turned myself into a monster. If that was not enough to condemn myself, my other sin would be what sealed my fate and got me a ticket to hell. As that same accursed hand is the one that I used to infect one of the lord's most perfect creations. Far too late I now realize that the lady I injured with the nail of Helena was indeed an angel, not a Lilith as I initially believed her to be but an angel pure as the heavens.
No, The nail did not turn me into a monster, only one who is a monster by heart would be able to harm one as innocent and pure as her, I confess I should have known so before, The moment her gaze met mine after I stabbed her I could see I had just made the greatest mistake in my now cursed life, her eyes still shining with innocence and purity as they pleaded to me to turn back. I did turn away, but only to confess to the lord of my sin and pray for forgiveness. I kneel down at the altar. "O' Lord I 'ave sinned, for it was not my holy crusade tha' made me act, My sin be that o' greed." This lady, This angel was the same girl I met over a decade ago, We, That is, sisters Yumiko and Heinikel and me, found her in the bloodbath of what was left of the Victoria household. Back then I knew she were not an ordinary girl, Something told me she was recently diseased. However, A mere glance told me she had everything to become a great paladin.
I had everything planned out, I would bring her to the orphanage as were the rules. But I would adopt her as my own daughter when I got the chance. I would raise her and teach her all I knew, she were to become a great paladin, the fear of all monsters and the pride of the Catholic church. It were not to be, as the same night the girl ran away from the orphanage and went into hiding. When I found her she was already in the claws of that monster, that Abomination. That daemon, Alucard! And blinded by my rage I decided that if she were not to be my daughter, I would not allow anyone especially that monster to have her, She would be grateful to me for saving her from a fate as one of his whores. "Lord 'ave mercy on my soul, For I 'ave sinned and seek redemption, I swear tha' I shall save your lost child and bring 'er back back to tae light."
This is probably the first time I am happy to have failed on a mission given to me, I knew Seras would survive the effects of the nail the very moment we locked eyes, they were the very gates displaying her spiritual and divine energies. But I also disgusted myself, for although it would not kill her it would put her into unconsciousness long enough for that beast to take advantage of her, If he were to defile her.. God would never forgive me, and my right to be his decile of divine punishment would only be the slightest of my worries, I have to hurry and destroy the vile creature before it has the chance to act. It is a good thing that my enemy is the kind that takes his time and likes his victims to be aware of his tortures. The nail will put Seras out cold for a while so I will have till she wakes up.
While Anderson prepares for war, he has no idea of what is going on at Hellsing, Neither does he know Seras has already awoken and, unless he intervenes fast, will be enlisted into the Hellsing organization. (Bodhisattva: An enlightened being who, out of compassion, forgoes nirvana in order to save others)
Order 7: Bodhisattva sanctuary
The hallways seem to be endless, I'm glad Alucard is here to lead me or I would have been unable to find my way through this maze of stairs and corridors. While we walk, his long arm is draped around me in a manner I can't tell whether it is either protective or possessive. I do know that this man probably saved my life by.. Whatever he did, so either case I don't mind. I want to be alive to help others, but most of all I want to be there for him, I can feel the pain of ages past still lingering about him, a pain I want to relieve him from. After having lived most of his life in torture he deserves at least that much. I don't know what I can do but I will give my all to try and make him happy again.
When I wake up from my musings we stand in front of a large double door, on the other side I sense two people. I can't help but thinking... What if they don't like me? 'Don't worry, Angel girl, they will definitely like you.' I hear his voice in my head, When did THAT start to happen? He just chuckles and places his hands on my shoulders to calm me so I can go in with my head up. He pushes me through the doors with enough force to cause me to almost trip and plant my face in the floor, I look around in the large office seeing Alucard sit down in a random chair "Bastard." I mutter under my breath, the two other people one an elderly man and the other that lady I met when we encountered Alex in Ireland just look at me waiting for me to talk.
It is the woman who breaks the silence. "Welcome to 'Hellsing' Angel girl, please be so kind to introduce yourself." That. Did. It. "Angel girl, Angel girl. Angel girl. I've HAD it with that nickname, I have a name you know, It's Seras Victoria!" for a few moments no one says a word,Maybe I went overboard? Ma...Alucard suddenly starts chuckling and the woman and her butler just grin. "A very feisty bride you have there Alucard." My eyes widen and I look from Alucard to the lady behind the desk "B. B.. BRIDE?!" I then feel Alucard's arms lock around me again, I try to shake loose but he won't budge so I just settle for throwing an angry glare at the bastard who smirks at me in a perverted,VERY suggestive way causing me to look away as my face turns the colour of a tomato. "Bastard." I mutter once more before I realize that she sooner I finish introducing myself the faster I can get out of this compromising situation and give this 'quote' bastard a piece of my mind.
I sigh and look at the lady of the house trying to ignore the way Alucard holds me seeing she knows what I am I may as well spill everything. "My name is Seras Victoria, I'm nineteen years old and, have been dead for over ten years.. I look down as I say this. My parents and I got killed when I was nine, after I 'returned' the first thing I did was kill the ones that murdered us. I have been fighting evil for the last ten years and that is how I met master..." I look around as I finish waiting for the others to say their words but they just stare as if I grew a second set of ears, the lady's glasses have almost fallen off her nose, after all this they don't believe me? "I know it is hard to believe but.." Alucard suddenly starts laughing and I cough as he presses me so tightly against his chest I have trouble breathing. The lady looks at me questioningly "Do you realize you just called Alucard 'master'?" she asks as she puts her glasses straight again. She then proceeds to death-glare Alucard.
"Vampire, did you bite Seras while she was unconscious?" She asks almost threateningly, Master stops laughing but keeps chuckling softly as he answers "Not directly master, I may have nicked her with my teeth while I was 'cleaning' her." I gulp, so that is why I was almost naked when I woke up. The lady's glare intensifies and I shift in Alucard's arms as it is starting to make me feel uneasy. "Walter, Cigar." is all she says, the man hands her a cigar and lights it for her, the silence grows as she calms herself creating a small halo of smoke over her head.. Why do people smoke? Eventually she is again the one to break the silence as she sighs. "Not much to be done about that, I suppose I owe you an introduction Seras, I am Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, Leader of the Hellsing Organization, a den of monsters that hunt monsters. This is Walter, the family retainer, and that 'man' behind you Is Alucard, Although I think you have met." I nod as I glare my smirking bastard 'master'.
I feel that I can't stay mad at him for long, not after all he's been through, I manage to wiggle my arms free only to take his hands in mine. Which is hard considering the size difference. Lady Integra turns her attention to a piece of paper and writes something down. "Uhhhm.. Lady Integra, I think I'll be heading home now, Would you like my phone number for when you need me?" She looks at me and shakes her head. "Alucard and I have decided you will have to stay with the Organization, at least until you are fully recovered.... And one more thing, I want you to call me Sir Integra." At first I want to say no, But when I look around I feel deep in my heart that I WANT to be here, to help these people help humanity, It will mean the end of my freedom but a better chance to help those that need it. I nod my head in agreement "Okay, Sir Integra." She smiles, although only for a second before her expression goes back to her emotionless business face. "Officer Victoria, you will be sharing a room with Alucard, if there is anything that requires my attention feel free to report it, Dismissed!"
I bow and walk out. I will come to live here, But I'll need some stuff from home, even a Bodhisattva has the right to have some personal items right?
Mou, I'm sorry! It's very filler.. I hope to get more action in the next chapters!
