Misiunea Unei Regine
Ketti:*hides in a hole, and takes Lithi with* You'll never get us now! NEVER!
Seras found herself waking to the horrid sound of very loud and piercing siren and her roomie's groans.
Seras ignored the weight pressed into her side and pushed herself up through her bed, glad that Whatsherface hadn't looked into the canopy to find Seras' bed empty.
"Attention, Attention, we would like every student to please report to the gym. We have an emergency."
Seras bolted outside and tried (in vain) to stay out of the direct morning sunlight by stepping in any shadow she could find. She could simply vanish into the shadows, but she had a feeling she might pop up in the wrong place so early in the morning while everyone was in such a state of panic. She could see a bunch of females bolting to the gym and one of them was sobbing, holding onto something in her arms.
The Draculina ignored her pet bat's attempts to latch onto her shoulder while she ran, caring less whether or not she pissed him off.
She finally made it to the gym and paused to survey the area in curiosity. Some adults were standing on the stage talking frantically with a girl she recognized as one of the ones she spied on daily. She couldn't make out what they were talking about over the tons of voices screeching and yelling in the gym.
The bat dug his little claws painfully into the rumpled shoulder of her pyjamas, drawing blood when he finally caught up and landed. She hissed and drew back to the edge of the auditorium, waiting for the announcement. After what seemed an eternity later – and many smothered yawns from the bedraggled Draculina – the principal climbed the stage to stand before the microphone.
"It has been brought to our attention that another student has gone missing from her dorm. Miss Alice Herrison was last seen by her roommate Miss Blanch at midnight. We are starting a campus wide search for the girl, and encourage all students not to wander alone. These are troubling times when one is not safe in these hallowed halls."
Seras began to zone out as he droned on and on about the school's heritage, and was half asleep on her feet when a set of tiny fangs nipped her ear. Barely biting back the yelp of protest in time, she turned a murderous glare on the flying rodent attached to her shoulder, cinnamon brown orbs burning with the fires of Hell itself. "What?" She hissed at him.
He extended his wing in a pointing gesture and she turned her head to look, and caught sight of familiar ginger hair. It was the girl with no aura – no, that was wrong, she was a void, an empty spot in the midst of the crowd – and the look on her face… Seras' expression firmed into one of determination and she began to weave her way through the throng of students, but the instant her line of sight was lost the girl was gone. Cursing, she made it to the other side of the gym and found no trace of her.
"She knows something." The girl muttered to herself, or perhaps her pet bat, before a yawn split her face and cracked her jaw. "Too early for this shit." She swore, "and what day is it, anyways? Isn't this the weekend?" She whined, reaching for the cell phone tucked in her pj bottom's pocket.
The time read 8:07AM, Saturday.
"I'm going back to bed." She hissed, and was careful to ensure no one was watching before she melted into the shadows of the wall, reappearing back in her room, and her coffin.
A heavy weight crushed her into the padded bottom of her somewhat cramped – with two people, anyways – bed and she grunted as her breasts were flattened rather uncomfortably. "Sir Integra will scold you for sleeping in." He warned her quite mildly as he pressed his face into the back of her neck, apparently content to turn her into a Childe Pancake.
"I'll just read their minds or something, catch up on what I've missed." Seras mumbled into the pillow, her yawn smothered. She was back to sleep within seconds, feeling completely at ease with her Sire using her as his own personal pillow. Despite everything, there was no place safer for her than with him. Her lips twitched sleepily upwards into a smile as her mind drifted off into dreams.
(*_*) ^(*_*)^ (*_*)
Seras awoke to the sound of shuffling around in the room and the emptiness of her coffin.
The Draculina popped herself up onto her bed. "What're you doing?" Seras muttered, words broken by a yawn.
"What does it look like?" Whatsherface sneered. "There's an open room, I'm moving the fuck out of here to take Alice's spot." She had a few suitcases packed around her.
"Oh." Seras' brow furrowed a bit, and she flipped her phone open to check the time. It was a little after two in the afternoon. "But she hasn't been gone all that long; what if she comes back?" The blonde's head tilted to the side curiously, wits addled by lingering sleep.
Her now ex-roommate grumbled something like "they never come back" before she grabbed her suitcases and stomped out the door.
Seras was about to go back to her lovely nap before there was a knock on the door Whatsherface just left through and the Draculina rose with a grumble from the bed and tore the door open. "What?" she hissed.
"Oh good, you're awake Miss Hellsing, we were afraid you'd sleep the whole day away." A familiar adult voice chirruped with sickening sweetness, "I have someone I'd like you to meet; your new roommate Alanna Tepes. She transferred just today, and as Miss Bertha has already petitioned a room change, this is the only available dorm." So saying, she gestured to the petite figure at her side, a petite ravenette even shorter than the Draculina with wide blue eyes and … Seras' expression flattened and her lips tightened. Despite the changes she recognized her Master instantly.
"Please," the girl simpered, "call me Ally, Seras."
"Oh, I'm so glad you two get along!" Ms Lawler gushed, clasping her hands to her chest as Ally clasped Seras' hand in her own and beamed up at the blonde endearingly. "Now you get settled, and don't forget to come to the cafeteria for dinner. I'm afraid all off campus forays are cancelled this weekend due to the incident."
"Great…" Seras muttered, forcing an entirely fake smile on her face.
"Just the two of us! Won't this be fun?" Ally crooned as the dorm matron made her way back down the hall whence she came.
Seras said nothing, simply picked up the simple bag at her door, and hauled 'Ally' into the room. "Does Sir Integra know you're doing this?" The Draculina growled, frustrated.
"What? Staying with you? Of course." Ally chirped, plopping herself on the other bed to kick her feet through the air. Seeing her Master look so… innocent was disturbing.
"I meant coming to school as a student and you know it. What'd you do, mindfu-… manipulate the principal?" Seras questioned, halting herself from using the word she dearly wanted to. At the too wide smile from the pale girl, she growled, "Let me guess, your schedule just so happens to coincide with mine?"
"Of course." Ally cooed, twirling her hair around her finger. "It wouldn't be any fun otherwise."
"I hate you." Seras hissed, sullen. "I'm going back to sleep. Today can fuck off."
God she was acting like a teenager sulking about not getting her way! Disgusted with herself, she crawled back into bed and phased directly to her coffin to pretend the whole day had never happened.
Her Master's laughter followed her mockingly all the way into her dreams.
