Sanctuary to the Lost and Damned

AN: I do feel that I should warn the readers about this chapter. It is not particularly graphic, but it's content may still disturb some.

Ch 7: Bitch


"That bitch!" Abraham Hellsing Slammed his fist down on his desk.

"Is something wrong, Sir?" Alfred asked him.

"That bitch, my wife, is divorcing me!"

"Lady Ellen? Why?"

"Apparently she has been seeing someone else." His hands fell to his face. He should seen this coming. especially when he would find her missing from his bed in the middle of the night. Or when she had started avoiding him. Abraham thought back to all the little hints through out the years the she gave that would indicate this as a possible outcome.

The reason for her betrayal her abandonment of him, she attributed to the fact that she had found out the true nature of his organization. She claimed that she could not bear the thought of losing him or her son.

"What's worse is that the bitch is putting my son in a boarding school."

"Well sir, Arthur is a young man now I'm sure that he will- "

"She claims that he isn't safe here with a vampire." Abraham grounded his teeth. "Don't you see? It's that Vampire's fault. He must have told the boy, and Arthur must have said something to his mother."

"Sir, Alucard is preparing for tonight's hunt. Shall I summon him?" Abraham pulled a bottle of wine and a glass from a drawer and poured himself a generous amount into the glass.


"You called, master" Alucard said as he moved through the bedroom wall.

"Yes, I did." The man laughed, "Yes I called ya Vampire." his words were slurred.

Alucard approached Abrahan. He did not need to get close to know where the the smell of alcohol was coming from. He had smelt the poison in the air long before he entered the room thanks to his vampiric senses. He wondered how close a human had to be to smell it.

"What is it that you require of me, master?"

"Do you have any idea of what you did?" The drunken man asked the creature of the night.

"I do not understand what you mean?" The vampire recoiled as he said it. Abraham had not beaten him in a while, and he had done everything in his abilities to avoid a repeat.

"Ya know damn well what ya did! You told my wife about everything."

"I told your son," Aluracrd defended.

"He tells his mother everything, So. It. Is. The. God. Damned. Same. Bloody. Thing!"

"She's leaving me." Abrahan laughed an insane laugh before he started to cry. "You vampires have destroyed my life. Fist you took Emily from me and then you take my wife."

Alucard stood there not knowing what to do. He had not tried to comfort a human in many centuries.

"What is it that you require of me master?"

"Strip."

Alucard did not think that he had heard right through the slurring of Hellsing's words. "Pardon, master."

"I said strip! Do not make me say it again Vampire."

The vampire removed his outer clothing. He was not dressed in a tight full body covering. When he was finished he stood before his master who was siting in an old sitting chair by the bed. "I mean all of it." The man poured the remainder of the bottle into his glass; it was a generous amount. The intoxicated man drank the entire glass in three large gulp.

Confused, the vampire removed the remainder of his coverings. He reasoned that perhaps the man was conducting a physical examination. Perhaps he was checking for possible scarring to see how effective the healing process of the vampire was. He was a scientist after all, and as such he was inclined to examining every detail of the vampire's physiological condition.

"Alucard," the man said softly, "The bottle is empty could you get ya, master, another one."

Alucard strode over, completely naked, to a cabinet. Where Hellsing was pointing, He opened the cabinet and had to pull out three other empty wine bottles before finding one which was full.

Alucard brought the bottle over to Abraham. "Here, master."

"Abraham patted his head." The drunken man then attempted to open the bottle. Alucard watched as his master tried and missed to get the sharp pointed end of the wine bottle opener into the cork.

"Allow me, master." Alucard opened the bottle with ease and poured some into his master's waiting glass. The slits of Alucard's eyes narrowed as he realized that the man's attempts had lead to some large cuts. Without thinking Alucard's tongue darted out to lap up Hellsing's blood. He found himself hopping that the man's blood did not clot too easily. Than man was too drunk to care as he drank some large gulps of the wine.

"Would you like some, Alucard?"

Alucard was busy lapping up Abraham's blood to hear him. Alucard could taste the high levels of alcohol in Abraham's blood. It made his thinking a little blurry.

When the cuts on Abraham;'s cuts had clotted. The vampire sat on the floor by his side. By that then the man had drank more than half of his fourth bottle.

"I want ya ta, change into ya girlie body." Alucard did not understand his order, but imagined that it had something to do with the amount of alcohol that he had tasted in his blood.

Alucard complied with his master's orders.

"Get on the bed." Abraham instructed the vampire. "and lie down" Abraham added.

The vampire shrugged his shoulders. Usually the doctor had examined him on a cold hard table, but the vampire did not really mind being examined here. Although the vampire was not sure what sort of data the doctor could gather in his present state, he complied with the order.

It was not until the vampire was on the bed that a realization hit him of what was about to happen. His eyes widened.

"Please no, master." Abraham Hellsing had no knowledge of the vampires past as a human. He did not know that as a boy, Alucard, or Vlad III, had been raped by the Turk's sultan.(1) He had been captured. He had been tortured. The similarity was too much for the Vampire.

"What was that, slave." The man hollered.

"Please, Master. I can not." Bloody tears were starting to form in the vampire's eyes.

"You will do what I tell you to!" The drunken man took another gulp of wine. "And you will like it, Slave." The man brought himself amazingly steady to his feet, considering how much alcohol was in him.

The man started talking again. "Do you know why, slave?"

Alucard shook his head. "No, I do not know, my master." Alucard felt his body start to shake, with fear.

The man approached the bed. "Because she is leaving me. My wife is leaving me because of you." Abraham threw his glass towards the headboard. Narrowly missing Alucard's head it smashed.

"I'm sorry, master-"

"I do not need pity from my Slave."He yelled at the vampire, who was lying shaking on the bed. Having broken his glass, Abraham had started to drink from the bottle. "Arther's being sent away to boarding school too." Abraham started to cry.

Alucard said nothing. He did feel that he would miss his younger master.

"So, slave, you will replace her. "

The vampire's tears poured out of his eye sockets. He could not believe that this was happening again. "Not again" He whispered to himself too soft to be heard by Abraham.

Last time this had happened to him, he had prayed to God. He doubted that God had cared then or would even care now. In that way he felt that God was crueler to him than even Abraham.


END of Ch 7

AN: (1) - This appears to have happened the in Hellsing cannon, to young Vlad III, aka. Alucard, based on the manga.
