Chapter Six: Remorse
OOOOOOOOO
When Seras came downstairs to alert Integra of Alucard waking, she'd found Walter standing outside of the office looking down and sad. The doors were shut and Seras was getting a pretty bad vibe coming from the inside. With a gulp, she cleared her throat alerting Walter that she was there and going into the office. "Oh," he said, turning towards her, "Hello Ms. Victoria, are you going into the office?" His voice had a bit of concern as well as a warning. Seras slowly nodded to Walter's disappointment.
"So, he's awakened, has he?" Walter asked. Seras returned the answer with a small nod. With a sigh, he gestured towards the door, "Please bare with her attitude, she'd not having the best of days." Seras gave an understanding nod and slowly opened the door and began to progress into the room.
OOOOOOOOO
Pip was dreaming, pondering on the fact of Alucard being a vampire.
He had always thought of vampires to be completely evil creatures, completely mind controlled and run by blood lust. They were pale, charming, and dressed in old attire. Only to come out in the night and sleep in the day, not knowing good from evil, a shell of what they used to be. So something like that just couldn't exist.
Then he met Hellsing.
When he'd first seen Seras, she just didn't fit his description, she was…kind. Beautiful and charming, but that's what a vampire was. It needed that to kill it's victims. Then he'd seen Alucard. He hadn't thought that a vampire could phase through the walls, but then again, Alucard was pale, he wore dark colors, and his teeth were sharp.
And he was beautiful yet terrifying.
Alucard was terrifying enough to scare any common enemy that approached him. That made Pip wonder why this all had happened to Alucard, why he hadn't fought back. Maybe it was an order? Alucard couldn't break those; Integra had made that clear when Alucard had tried to eat the Wild Geese days after their arrival. Pip shuddered at the thought of the crazed look in Alucard's eyes all directed towards his men. If only he could display such rage on her crazed fiancé. But then again, orders.
Pip could feel something onto of him, observing him. Perhaps it was Seras? But she wouldn't be so close to him at the moment, she was probably already awake. They'd fallen next to Alucard's bed and they were to alert Integra of his waking.
Still with closed eyes, Pip moved his hand next to where Seras would be and paused when he'd just felt the air. So, was this Seras on top of him? No, Seras wouldn't be so close to his…neck. Pip slowly opened his eyes, only for them to be met with two red ones staring directly at him.
Pip's eyes widened, and on instinct he yelped and shoved Alucard off. "Sorry!" Pip apologized only to be met with a snarling Alucard. As Pip sat up and began to crawl back. Alucard's eyes followed him all around the room. Pip slowly began to stand up; regretting this once he'd heard a low growl erupted from Alucard. Cautiously, Pip stuck his hand out and began to walk towards Alucard.
"There's no need for you to see me as a threat," Pip reassured Alucard as he began getting closer to him. Finally, the growling stopped and Pip got close enough to pet Alucard on the head. "This isn't a manly thing to do," Pip said as he retracted his arm away from Alucard's silky hair. Alucard kept his head down and blankly stared at the floor.
"Um," Pip said, staring at the plate of food on the dresser, "you should really eat that." Alucard looked up at the plate, then looked back down to the floor and slowly shook his head. Pip walked towards the dresser and grabbed the plate and lowered it towards Alucard who continued to sit on the floor. He was acting strange.
"Seriously, I know you won't like it, but it's not for you," Pip said sliding the plate towards Alucard. Alucard responded by shoving the plate towards Pip. With a sigh of annoyance, Pip knelt down beside Alucard. "What's wrong with you?" he asked, pushing the plate back again. "I don't want it," Alucard responded, pushing it back towards Pip. "Fine, you don't have to eat it now, but you'll have to eat it later," Pip said, picking the plate up, "I'm going to put this in the refrigerator so it won't spoil, maybe you'll want it later."
As Pip walked towards the door, Alucard shifted a bit, and then said quietly, "I meant I don't want the baby."
Pip pretended that he didn't hear those last words, they crushed him completely. He'd suddenly felt horrible for trying to get Alucard to eat in order to nurture a baby that he didn't even want. Alucard was forced into this, and it was only explainable that he didn't want the baby, but that didn't mean he'd kill it, right? His master forbade him to hurt humans, and even an unborn baby was human as well.
Pip also knew that with Alucard being a corpse, this was likely to be a painful time for him; his organs would be forced to give life, something a vampire just couldn't do. But then again, he wasn't even supposed to exist, vampires weren't supposed to exist.
OOOOO
For now, I think that's all I'm doing. I won't be able to update this till like Monday, so I hope you guys enjoyed this little chapter. Integra's part will come with some thinking. Anyway, I'm trying to get my last story updated before 6 p.m tonight. Angels is updated until next Friday.
And just out of curiosity, who believes in the vampire? O_o I do.
God bless!
