Order Nine: Memories of Old

You all returned to England only to have Alucard and Seres to go back on a mission. It was a meeting among the Catholic Church, Round Table, and the Queen of England. Integra requested that I stay behind until called for. I was slightly disappointed that I had to stay at Hellsing Manor, but Alucard said that it was best that I stayed here. So, without protesting and shouting, I remained in my chambers.

"Damn!" I cursed as I doubled over the toilet. I was puking a lot recently. 'Probably some bad blood...' I brushed it off. Nobody knew of this. I wouldn't complain over some bad blood. Besides, it would only worry Seres and interest Alucard. I sighed, flushing the black substance down the pipes. I staggered out towards my coffin and threw myself on it. I curled up in a ball and tried to get some sleep. "Maybe I can sleep this off..." I muttered, pulling the sheets over my head. My eyes began to grow heavy, "Finally, some sleep..." I greeted the on coming darkness.

(Queen's estate)

Integra sat before the Round Table members and the Catholics. They were arguing on what to do about the situation at hand. "If we let the Germans get ahead then we're all doomed!" one man shouted, slamming his fist down. Integra lit one of her fancy cigars, "Settle down," she blew the smoke into the air. "Germany has vampire allies and those FREAK Chips. But we have three real and pure blood vampires on our side. They should hold no threat." Maxwell spoke up, "Those unholy pets of yours are not the answer. I have many righteous men ready for battle. Let me lead this and end Germany once and for all!"

A deep laughter chilled the air. Alucard and Seres appeared. "Bite you're tongue, Catholic." Alucard spat as he walked towards the Queen. But two foolish guards stepped in the way. Alucard's ruby eyes glowed, he threw them like two mere dolls. He advanced towards the Queen. "It's been some time vampire. Please, let me see your face." he kneeled before her, she reached out and touched his face. "You never change do you, Alucard?" Alucard grinned, "But, I've aged over these past years...I'm just an old woman now." "You're the still the same tomboy from fifty years ago, Princess. No, now I believe you're truly beautiful, my Queen."

She gives a small laugh, "Your report please, vampire." Alucard turned around and faced the organizations. "Fifty-five years ago, a insane major and his crew decided to create an army of vampires." Alucard stepped down from the throne, "Walter and I destroyed the project. But they never lost sight of their goal. Now, they are close to achieving what we thought was put to a stop fifty-five years ago. They are what is left of the Third Reich. They are known as the Last Battalion, The Millennium Order." everyone gasped at what news Alucard has provided. Germany was becoming more of a handful then predicted.

(Hellsing Manor) Fox: Listen to Falling Inside The Black by Skillet. It fits the dreams and stuff.

Dream

Feathers danced before my eyes. Images flashing. Sounds of screams and laughter echoing. My head was spinning. I clutched my head and screamed, "Stop it!!" the images and sound suddenly became still and silent. I blinked, there was a door in front of me. It was blotted shut. I reached out to open it when the chains shattered and fell to the ground. The door swung open and I heard a faint crying. I hesitated at first but found the courage and went in.

When I stepped in, it was black and white. Everything quite and not moving. What was before me was a bed with a woman laying in it holding a infant. I walked over to investigate when the dull scene came to life! Sound, color, movement. It was alive again. I looked at the woman and saw something familiar about her. I studied her, trying to figure it out. A man appeared from the shadows and smiled down at the two. He was tall, pale and had long, brown hair and purple eyes. He gave the woman a kiss and congratulated her. "What shall we name her?" the mother looked down, "Black hair, pale skin, and dark purple eyes. I say, Luna." my eyes widened as I looked upon the baby. It was me! I turned to the mother, or my mother rather, to see what I inherited from her. It was the black hair. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was regaining my memories. All of a sudden everything went white and was drawn into something else.

It was outside. The sun shining bright. I saw a younger me running outside without a care in the world, chasing a butterfly. My parents were sitting on chairs watching me play. "I can't believe she's five already. It just seems like yesterday she was born." my mother said, taking a sip of tea. My father nodded in agreement. I noticed that I caught the butterfly. The younger me ran over and showed them my fluttering friend. "See? Isn't it beautiful?" I was astonished with the bug. They laughed and said to let it go. I threw up my arms and let it fly off towards the sun. Yet again, another flash.

This time it was disturbing. My home was in flames. People dead all around me. My mother rushing off with me in her arms. She barged into a room and began to search for something. A floor board creaked and she opened it. "Stay in here and don't move or make a sound until I come for you, okay?" I nodded, tears pouring down my seven year old face. She gave me a kiss on the forehead and placed me in the hidden room. For what seemed like forever, I sat there. Silent and unmoving. I laid in the corner, wondering where mother could be. The silence was broken when the door was smashed. I let out a yell as a hand yanked me out the room. It was some man with a,what looked like at the time, a towel. I kept screaming for my parents, but neither of them came to my aid. "Be still child!" I was knocked in the side of the head. I fell to the floor. Everything fading to black.

Is...This it? All of memories? No, it can be. It stopped at age seven...I'm so confused now...Alucard, Alucard help me!! I cried out for him but he never came. Alucard did you abonded me? No, you wouldn't. Would you?

"I'll never leave you..." a young boy with short black hair wearing a cross told me. "I''ll never forsake you." a taller man with a beard said. "I love you." a little girl with long black hair stated. "I promised." Alucard now stood before me, holding his hand out. Tears ran down my cheeks, "Alucard..."

Suddenly more memories started up. I heard a thundering voice, "You're banished! Leave my kingdom and right your wrongs!" my wings turned black.

Screaming, "Mercy! Please, mercy!!" a head flew off. My scythe stained with crimson.

And a kind voice, "Lady Raven." it was Seres. Standing there with that goofy grin of hers.

Then a comforting voice, "My dear Raven..." Alucard towered above me. With the sly smirk on his handsome face.

I sighed and regained focus. My memories of old were regained!

End Dream

My eyes snapped open. I shot up like a rocket. I studied my surroundings. It was my Hellsing chamber. Same as always...I looked down at my hands. They weren't shaking. I grinned. My memory was regained. I still had some blurs, but this, was ten times better then before. I knew my parents, my afterlife, and...

"Alucard..."

Without warning, Seres barged in. "Lady Raven! We're back!!" she cheered, but soon paused. She noticed how out of it I was. "Lady Raven, you're all sweaty. What happened?" I giggled, "Nothing Seres. No need to worry." she looked unsure but didn't push the matter. That's when he showed up. "Ah, Raven, there you are..." Alucard stepped in. "Count," I greeted with a grin on my face. He eyed me curiously but continued with what he was going to say. "Raven we have a new mission. And involves us and a jet." he smirked. I strapped on my scythes, "When do we leave?"

Fox: Well, not as long as the chapter before but it's an update. Raven has recovered a large amount of memories. Some I didn't include. Hehehe, I'm so evil. Anyway, though it is short, I hoped you enjoyed it. Please leave a review.
