Felix was stunned. His captain just shot down his own man! For God's sake he was a human being and he just shot him down like a pig! He looked around and saw that his brothers-in-arms are at least as shocked as he is. The captain put away his gun, his face was like a mask the whole time.
"We don't have time for this! The Grim Reaper is coming for us all if you can't kill those monsters!" - yelled the captain and turned around.
Felix didn't know what to do, but luckily the moaning of the deads woke him up from this asleep kind of state. He let Bloke's body slide to the ground, and turned around. The ghouls found their way out from the building and were slowly walking towards them.
"Open fire!" - shouted Felix, crouched down and began shooting. They didn't have a lot of clips left, since they almost shot all of the ammo away in the stairway. His squad followed his order and began shooting too. So did the soldier at the tank's machine gun, which reaped through the undead's bodies like a knife through the butter.
"Reloading!" came the voice of Harry and Roberta at the same time. The fall in firepower was immediately noticeable, because there was a lot more bodies moving than falling to the ground. Even with the help of the tank it was quite overwhelming. Felix hoped that the other squads could get to them fast, or they'll die here tonight.
"Alpha, Delta, Beta where are you?" - spoke he in his radio but waited for an answer in vain, since there was none coming, only static. -"What the hell is wrong with this shit?!" - they couldn't be dead right? They would have at least called in through the radio that they are in trouble. Or was their death so quick?
The ghouls were creeping ever so slightly closer with each passing second. How could be there so many of them? This building wasn't that big. And they saw what they feared the most.
Ghouls were coming from everywhere, from the other buildings and even from the forest behind them! It was like tilting at windmills, they had no chance. Since they couldn't face all of the monsters at the same time, they got too close. They could almost feel their cold and nasty fingers on their skins.
And then the captain cried out in pain. He was at the back of the tank and fought only with his pistol. He found himself quickly on the ground with ghouls as playmates. His bellow faded into gurgle as teeths chewed his neck and blood flooded his lungs.
Felix tried to think straight. The tank was hopeless, there was no way to it. They had to run away from this place as soon as possible.
"We are moving! Roberta, Harry, get your asses moving!" and he began to run to the church. It wasn't too far away, only a few blocks.
The ghouls closed up on them much faster than Felix thought they will. The squad was already really tired, all of this was too much for them. They didn't become tired physically but mentally.
And this was what caused their fall. The first victim was Roberta, who was just a bit too slow. One of the ghouls hands managed to grab on her hair and causing her to fall on the ground. She shouted at Harry and Felix to help her, and they tried. They really did, but she was already dead before the guys turned around she just didn't know it. Harry began running back and firing at the crowd of undead to keep them at bay. He reached out for her with his hand to try and pull her from the monsters but when their hands almost touched one ugly child ghouls bit down on her thigh. He managed to cut her arteria so the blood just flowed out like a fountain. Her death-cry could be heard for what seemed miles away.
Harry's eyes widened in horror and knowing he can't help her, began turning around and running back to Felix. His legs slipped on the bloody ground, but this didn't stop him from escaping. His animal instincts overrode his mind and put every fate into his legs and ran as fast as he could away from the horrors of the night. Harry managed to rejoin with Felix and both of them continued to run for the church.
They actually didn't know what they hoped for. The church can't stop a mass of evil that was behind them. The big wooden building stood alone not far away from the other buildings, tall like some kind of beacon. The lighthouse of hope, the candles inside lit the street around it with warm yellow light.
Felix and Harry were near. They literally jumped on the door and tried to open it. But the big wooden doors didn't budge. Why?! Why couldn't they perform this simple task that was supposed to save their lives?
A pair of rotting hands grabbed Harry's shoulders. Then even more hands sticked to his waist, chest even his neck.
"NO!NO-NO-NO!" he yelled and tried to tear out himself from the grip of the undead but didn't succeed. They dragged him away from the doors of redemption back into the black and bloody reality. Shortly nothing could be seen from his body, Felix only heard his screams. Then suddenly Harry's hand shot high from the pile of bodies. He already missed a few fingers and his whole hand was greasy from blood. Then Felix noticed that there was something on his index finger. It was the pin of a grenade!
Felix rammed with his whole body into the wooden doors as a last try to save himself from the explosion and the doors just opened! He went clean through! The doors didn't open because they pulled it instead of pushing! This was such a stupid mistake and it just cost Harry's life.
Felix jumped quickly on his feets and closed the door behind him just in time because the grenades detonated. Even the big doors moved by it's sheer forces and dropped Felix again on the ground. Then there was silence. Too much silence indeed.
Felix looked the first time around since he entered the church. It was the typical little church that you see in movies. One row of benches on each side and with the altar on the other far end of the building. Then he saw the priest.
He was just coming out from behind a door and noticed Felix. And he smiled, but there was something cold in his smile. It was like when a predator noticed his helpless prey.
"Welcome son to the house of God. How can I help you?"
"Father! There are ghouls outside, we have to get out of here."
"I see. Come here son, let me help you, let me show you the way."
Felix couldn't resist and moved in the direction of the priest. He didn't want to but it was like his legs had their own minds. The priest grinned evilly as he watched Felix's struggle.
It was so quiet. You couldn't hear the moans of the ghouls for some reason. Felix looked at the priest and it looks like he noticed it too. But all this didn't matter anymore, Felix was in front of the priest.
"You shall join to your friends." said the priest with a crazy glare in his eyes.
And that's when the doors exploded to a billion pieces. Felix managed to turn his head towards it and saw a figure standing there. Behind it he saw all the ghouls like piles of meat lying on each other motionless. Then the figure walked closer and he saw her face.
It was the red eyed girl! Why is she here? Did she kill all those monsters by herself? and such questions stormed inside his head. He felt the medal burning his skin, it became hot again. It always did when there were vampires nearby, thats what helped him before. He noticed also that the heat depended on how powerful the vampire was. The necklace was never this hot before.
"I hope I didn't disrupt anything important." -she said. Felix saw that she had sharp teeth. So she was a vampire indeed. Barnabas was right all the time!
"Who are you? How do you dare to just blow up my door and disrupt me while I'm trying to eat?"
"I'm Seras Victoria Officer of Hellsing. And I'm here to end your pathetic life."
"KILL HER!" shouted the priest and out of nowhere ghouls rose to their feets from the benches around in the church. All of them were fallen Hellsing soldiers! They raised their guns and started shooting at her.
Seras didn't even try to evade or dodge there was no need for that. They couldn't harm her anyway. So while being shot to tiny pieces she raised one of her arms and revealed an oversized pistol. It was painted pure black and had carwings on it's barrel. She smiled when she began shooting at the ghouls.
Never missing a shoot she quickly finished off the poor souls. There were only three living things in the room left. Well, it's better to say that three standing lifeforms since only Felix lived really the other two vampires were already dead.
"What are you?!" asked the priest with fear in his voice. But Seras didn't pay any attention on him, instead she locked eyes with Felix. He could see her crimson eyes dig deep into his soul and he had a feeling that she will ask something very important.
"Are you a virgin?" she spoke. What?! He is about to die and she tries to flirt with him? What kind of sick mind does she have?
"What?" asked Felix back.
"Are you a virgin? I'm not asking again boy, answer me!"
He was shocked but hearing her voice he knew he didn't have other choice but answer her question.
"Y...Yes I am." As soon as he spoke these words she fired her gun! He felt as the bullet ripped through his lung and continued it's way into the priest's heart. He stared in shock and then felt as his body grow numb. The vampire behind him turned to dust and rested on the floor waiting for the janitor to throw it away the next time he comes around.
Felix felt as blood soaked his jacket but didn't feel any pain. Suddenly Seras appeared next to him and kneeled down.
"So Felix right?"
"How do you know my name?" he whispered. He was fighting a battle he already lost. A battle with his own body.
"I watched you since you came to the Hellsing when you were a kid." she smiled displaying her big fangs.
"And what are you going to do to me now?"
"Well it's your choice. You can become a vampire like me, an immortal amongst men. Or you can just die."
"I won't become a monster like you. I sweared to banish all the monsters to the deepest pits of hell. I'm not going to become one."
Seras just sat there looking at him. She never expected this answer. She just stared at him for a few seconds.
"I see." answered she finally with sadness in her eyes. Did he saw sadness?- he thought. No that can't be, she is a monster and monsters don't feel. She can't have mortal emotion like that. Or can she?
"In this case I shall go." but hearing this Felix grabbed her hand.- "What?"
"Please do something for me." and he took out his medal. "Take this with you." and placed it into her open hand.
She looked at the medallion in her hand. It was insanely warm but she didn't mind. Not like it could have done anything to her.
"Thank you" whispered Felix with his last breath. Seras felt as his soul frees itself from this human vessel and begins it's journey to heaven.
She smiled, stood up and walked outside. She then looked at the medal he gave her. It had the Hellsing symbol on it! She turned it around and she couldn't believe what she saw. The text on it's other side read: "For Felix Hellsing"
