Yes! I finally have an English dictionary! Die, you grammatical mistakes! Buhahahaha!
Ahum, anyways, this is my most goriest episode so far, and here's where the M rating kicks in. If you have a strong imagination, I suggestyou take a bucket (but if you can't handle that, then wtf are you doing reading Hellsing fics? Gore is the order of the day in the manga!)
'Follow me, sir Jack.'
Walter was bringing me to my room. I was so exited! Integra said they already put all my personal stuff in it. I wonder what kind of room I would get?
My dreams for a nice, cozy room with a view where crushed as I was brought to a dark room, with a door on my left that leaded to a compact, but well made bathroom. Walter lighted a candle to shed some light on my charming room. It looked more like a dungeon than a room.
At least all my personal stuff was there. My refrigerator, my closet, my bonsai (witch I watered with love and care) but most importantly, my laptop.
Its funny how insanely happy somebody can become from seeing something they use everyday.
There was still something that bothered me, where was my bed?
There was a rather large coffin in the right corner, about my size. 'Hey Walter, you forgot taking this out.'
'No, I'm sure it's supposed to be here, sir Jack.'
I smiled. 'Very funny, is this the part where you're going to tell me that is my bed?'
'Precisely.'
I searched Walter's face for a grin, a smile, anything that would reveal that this was just some macabre joke; there was no such clue. 'This is my bed, isn't it?'
He gave a polite nod.
I shouted, I yelled, I begged, none of these was enough to convince him giving me a bed instead of a coffin. He shook his head. 'It is Sir Integra's wish. A vampire sleeping in a bed would be a little odd, don't you think?'
'Oh, and sleeping in a coffin wouldn't be odd?'
'I'm sorry, Jack, but there is nothing that can be done about it.' He quietly left me. Nothing that can be done about it?
I took out my phone. We'll just see about that.
Integra's pov
I was busy filling in some documents (you won't believe the paperwork that comes with letting a vampire sleep underneath your roof), when my phone rang. I picked it up, slightly irritated by the fact that I was being kept away from my work. 'Integra Hellsing speaking.'
'Hello, Integra, this is the security of the front gate. We have a problem here.'
'Don't I pay you enough to solve this yourself?'
'Uhrm, there is a guy here that say's he has a delivery for you.'
Strange. 'Have you asked him if he has the correct address?'
'Yup, he checked it ten times.'
'I'll be right there.' I sighted as I had to abandon my work for something much less important.
When I arrived at the gate, I noticed a delivery truck with a fat, mustached man wearing a red cap waiting impatiently. There was a bed right next to him. 'Are you Integra Hellsing?'
'Yes, what is it?'
'Please sign here.'
After seeing that it was a delivery for a bed, I signed the document. That's strange, I didn't order any beds.
'I'll take it from here.' Jack stepped to the bed and picked it up with ease, resulting in a shocked expression from the delivery guy.
'Jack, is this your doing?' I asked a little bit angry.
'Yes, I ordered this bed,' he said whit the bed over his head. 'And you will be doing the payment, I hope you don't mind?'
'Like hell I don't mind!'
'Well, you refused to give me a bed, so I'll give you an option. Either you give me one, or I'll keep ordering until I get one, take your pick.'
Unbelievable.
'Fine!' I walked away, extremely pissed.
Jack's pov
Hehe, I got my way.
I put my bed down in my room and went to my closet, since I was still walking around shirtless, it would now be a good time to change clothes (I was still wearing the pants and hat my French friend made me). I decided to wear my worn out jeans with a light T-shirt. Next, I moved to my refrigerator for a drink. Al my food had been replaced with blood bags, except for one bottle of tomato juice.
Haha, very funny. I still took the bottle, just to have something more 'normal' to drink.
I now moved to my laptop and write a bit, didn't had much change to do that lately.
I had now advanced so far in the story that I had to introduce a new character. This was something I still had trouble with. You can't give a character a simple name, like Bob, but a complicated name is no good either.
Ah, bingo. Found one. 'Arucard came in the room to visit his friend.'
'What are you doing, boy? Using my name for your own goals?'
Speak of the devil. I turned around to see Alucard. 'Sorry, do you mind?' I asked politely.
'No, I find it quite amusing how human's create there own fantasies.'
I turned around to the computer again. 'Arucard had a terminal disease, he would die a slow and painful dead.'
Alucard laughed. 'Anyway, I came here to tell you that we are going on a mission soon.'
Argh, the bad side of the contract. Oh well, that's how the cookie crumbles. 'What kind of mission?'
'What do you think, boy?' He said with a smirk.
Killing vampires. Yay. 'When are we leaving?'
'Right now.'
With a sight, I took the Longs blade and followed Alucard.
Seras pov
'Why the long face?' I asked Jack.
He looked from the ghoul infested apartment to me. 'Why do you think?'
'Don't worry Jack,' I said, trying to comfort him. 'You get used to it, eventually.'
He sighted as he walked to the apartment. 'I doubt it.'
I turned around in confusion as my master had a seat underneath a three. 'I'm not going.'
'Huh, why not master? You usually enjoy this.'
'You're not going as well, police girl. The boy must prove himself.'
'But master, he's just…'
'It's alright, Seras,' Jack said. 'I'll do it.'
He cautiously approached the apartment.
As he entered the apartment, a sat myself down next to my master. I was worried of Jack, was he ready for something like this?
'He'll do just fine,' Alucard said assured. 'You seem to have forgotten that he's a vampire.'
I haven't forgotten. But then again, seeing what he did to Alexander, he was also something else.
Jack's pov
I was determined to impress him. He probably thought that this was too much for me. Well, you're in for a surprise, Alucard.
I cautiously went up the stairs of the staircase, checking for anything undead. A floor higher, I left the staircase and checked the apartments for ghouls, none. A moan came from behind me. There it was, a ghoul.
I already heard from ghouls from Longs, but this was the first time I actually seen one. Its eyes where shining purple. Its left arm was twisted in a bizarre way and a broken rib was sticking out of its chest.
I wasn't impressed by me foe, but I was surly disgusted. I had to hold myself in not to puke of the pure stench of this rotting corpse.
I beheaded my foe without hesitation. This was nothing more but an empty shell of what once was a man, so I could kill it with a clear conscience.
As I left the room, I ducked back in to avoid bullets. I peeped around the corner to see who shot me. It was a group of 6 ghouls, with 2 of them armed with machine guns.
I ran at the group, dodging the bullets. I first cut down the two armed ghouls, then hacked down the others with ease. That makes 0-7.
I took one of the machine guns and reloaded it. It might come in handy.
I cleared the next three flours with ease, using them as target practice to train my shooting skills. This was surprisingly easy.
Then I heard a yell, about ten floors higher. A survivor? I ran back to the staircase, cursing myself for loafing around too much.
As I ascended the stairs, I tried to use my enchanted smell and hearing to know what was exactly going on ten floors higher. My strength and speed might not yet be as well developed as Seras' or Alucard's, my hearing and smell was pretty darn good.
You know how they say that dogs can smell emotions? Well, vampires can do that too. From what I smelled there was one female human above me, terrified by the presence of a male vampire. This was easily noticeable for me because the female had a rapid heartbeat and the man had a lack of it. She let out another yell, but was muffled by something, I guess the vampires hand.
'Shut up, bitch!'
I then heard a zipping sound, together with a particular smell, which made me flinch.
The girl was going to get raped.
I increased my pace by an amount that even the world's best human sprinter couldn't achieve. As I left the staircase, I inmeadedly ran to the apartment with the girl. My carelessness was awarded with a punch to the face.
As I stumbled the staircase back in, I noticed that it was a second vampire which had punched me. I really didn't had time for this. If I wanted to save the girl, I had to kill him without hesitation.
'Freeze!' I said while pointing my gun at him. But apparently, he had no intention of doing that. Why doesn't that ever work? As he ran towards me, I pulled the trigger, but came to the conclusion that the safety was on.
I didn't had time to shoot him, as he tried to grab my head, but I easily dodged the attack and had a clean shot at his chest. I still hesitated, so I cut him instead of stabbing his heart.
He looked surprised from me to the cut, wondering how a human could be so fast. The silver of my sword had made the healing of his wound very slow. 'You son of a bitch!'
He ran at me and rammed me hard. I lost my balance and fell down the stairs, but I took him down with me. As we both tumbled down, I lost the grip around my sword and gun in the process. Arrived on the lower floor, he recovered more quickly than I could and jumped on me, trying to strangle me.
I tried to get loose out of his grip with my hands, while looking around for my sword. It was a little bit farther from me.
He increased his iron grip around my neck even more. He was much stronger than me, a little bit more and he would break my neck. I stretched out for my sword, barely touching the hilt with my finger. C'mon.
I finally got grip around the sword and rammed the lethal blade right through my foes head. Blood gushed down his head as his dead weight fell on me. I pushed him off me and ran back up the staircase while picking up my gun.
Arrived at the floor, I saw the vampire leave the room. He just had enough time to let out a surprised 'oh' before I filled his head with bullets.
I then entered the room. The iron smell of blood filled the room and I was ashamed how it filled me with desire. I was too late.
The girl was on the floor, naked and bitten in several places. Her body deformed by the several broken bones and pieces of flesh that were ripped off her body. She was only ten, only ten.
Again, I gagged and almost puked. Nobody deserved this.
I turned back to leave the room, when I heard a moan from behind me. Oh, god no.
As I thought, the girl was now a ghoul. She couldn't get up, because her legs where almost severed, so she was crawling towards me.
I raised my sword, I knew what had to be done, but I couldn't. So I did a step backwards.
'You have to kill her, Jack, she a ghoul now,'I heard Alucard say in my head.
Normally, this would have freaked me out, but I had other concerns now. I did another step backwards as the girl was crawling towards me, eyes shining purple.
'You didn't had any problem with killing all the other ghouls and the vampires, what's the problem, boy?'
'She only a child, damnit!' I screamed mentally.
'She was a child, Jack. Now she is only an empty vessel. End her misery, finish her.'
The ghoul had now reached me and moaned as it grabbed one of my legs.
'I can't do it.'
'Finish her.'
'I can't do it!'
'Finish her!'
The ghoul bit my leg, and that was just the thing I needed to snap out of it. Out of pure reflex, I stabbed my sword in her head. She abruptly stopped chewing my leg.
I let go of the sword, disgusted by what I just did and did a few steps back. Now I did threw up.
After I was done, I took the sword back, with was released from her skull with a disgusting sucking sound. I then went outside. On our way back to the Hellsing manor, I said nothing. Seras asked me what was wrong, but I remained silence during the whole trip.
Integra's pov
It was almost sunrise when they came back. Naturally, I was quite curious on how the mission went. Alucard already informed me about how Jack beaten Alexander. Perhaps he used his talent again?
When they arrived at the front of Hellsing manor, Jack looked even paler than usual, and there was blood all over him. 'How did the mission go?'
Jack gave me a quick look. Pain and shame where engraved in his brown eyes. He then quickly walked past me.
I looked directly at the probable cause of Jack's distress. 'Alucard, what did you do to him?'
'I didn't do anything,' he said with a smirk. 'The boy did it all by himself.'
I massaged the bridge of my nose, oh dear. 'Alucard, in my office, now.'
Arrived in my office, I turned back to Alucard and sat down on my chair. As per usual, he had that arrogant smile up. 'What exactly happened?'
'I let Jack do the mission alone. He went in and killed all the ghouls and the two vampires.'
'Then why the hell is he so depressed?'
'There was a survivor left. Because he took too long with the two vampires, she was turned into a ghoul. He blames himself for it.'
'And what did he do with the ghoul?'
He smirked. 'Why, naturally, I pressed him to finish the poor thing. After a little nudge, he killed her.'
I rubbed the bridge of my nose once again, I was starting to have an idea what exactly happened. 'What's the matter, Master?'
'Alucard, how the hell could that ghoul be still alive? You clearly stated that he killed the vampires before he killed the ghoul. So how could the ghoul still be alive?' I bowed myself closer to Alucard. 'Why did you gave him that illusion?'
For a moment, he was silent, probably debating if he wouldn't get stuck in a basement for twenty years if he gave me the uncensored version of the story. 'The boy is strong, but his spirit is weak,' he started. 'I merely made him ready for such a situation. Sooner or later, he would have to deal with something like this.'
'That still doesn't make it any less inhuman.'
'That doesn't make it any less necessary.'
I sighted, he had a point. It was for the best that he faced this problem now, not during something crucial. 'Very well, you can go Alucard.'
He grinned. 'Always a pleasure to be of service, my master.' He disappeared trough the floor.
Seras' pov
Where was he?
Jack just ran in the mansion and vanished. I was still worried about him. Where could he be?
After searching the whole mansion for an hour, I finally found him on the rooftop. He was watching the horizon that was now colored orange, awaiting the arrival of the sun.
From what I saw, he had changed clothes and took a shower, this was easily noticeable by the deep aroma of soap that I could smell. His skin burned red from extreme temperatures. On several places on his arms, he had almost scrubbed the skin off.
'Jack, what's wrong?'
He turned to me and smiled, his eyes betrayed that he was faking it. 'Nothing, Seras. I'm perfectly fine.'
'You're a bad liar. What happened there?'
He turned back to the horizon, knowing that his lies weren't going to soot me. 'There was a survivor, and I wasn't able to save her. If I only was stronger.' His voice betrayed that he was having difficulty keeping his emotions in check, but he quickly noticed this and hid it. 'Don't worry about me, I'll be fine tomorrow. I just… need a moment for myself, okay?'
I still wasn't quite sure if he would be fine tomorrow, or over a week for that matter, but I nodded and left him.
Aaah, trauma's, the standard equipment for main characters.
