Alucard held the smaller woman against the hull of the ship as he pushed her beloved musket through her chest. Her blood spewed from the hole in her chest coating the wall behind her and soaking her feet. Alucard looked at the woman struggle and cough up blood as she attempted to pull the musket from her.

"AHH! UGHN!" She screamed and squirmed as her blood continued to flow.

"Mm…" Alucard grunted deeply as he sunk to his knees and began to lap up the blood at his feet. Unable to move she continued to desperately pull at the musket buried in her chest. She could feel her strength slipping from her, her vision was becoming hazy when she noticed arms growing from Alucard's back as he continued to lap at her blood.

"W-WAH-!" She managed to squeak before the hands gripped her roughly and shoved the musket deeper into her chest, more blood spurted from her lips. Alucard stood somewhat in a daze as he stood in front of her, his fangs elongated and face smeared with blood.

"NG-N-No—N-! AH!"

The arms on Alucard's back gripped at the woman's head exposing her neck to the dazed like man, smirk appeared on Alucard's stained lips as he took a step forward and sank his fangs into the woman's neck.

Mana suddenly jolted awake and reached for her neck, a shiver shot through her body as she felt her neck for puncture wounds and found none. Rolling on to her side she looked around the dark room confused and out of breath. She wasn't in the Hellsing Manor or in the basement.

"W-What…what did I see…that feeling…Alucard?" Mana thought to herself as a hand went unconsciously to her neck again. She remembered the frenzied state that Alucard had put her in when he took her fingers into his mouth and moved to her palm. A blush crept over her cheeks as she pushed herself on to her hands and knees.

"Ah…so he devoured her hm?"

Mana heard a voice approach the door, and before she could react she felt her body tense and tremble. Mana cursed as she collapsed weakly back on to the cold floor. The soul inside of her moved halting her attempt to crawl into the shadows of the room.

"Poor Rip…although I heard that bites of vampires are supposed to be pleasurable…I wonder how being devoured felt…"

Mana panted heavily as she unconsciously curled into a shivering, withering ball. Gritting her teeth she clutched her abdomen and her head as his voice approached.

"K-Kuso…" Mana's voice wavered as her vision started to blur.

"Lilim? She's still locked away…but…her release can be arranged. I recently acquired my lamb…"

Even with her back to him she could still feel the cold piercing stare of Milo's eyes on her back.

"I-It…is…y-you," Mana struggled to say.

"Don't worry I'll do what I need to do in time…now let me play with my new toy," Milo said as he closed his cell phone.

"Cain…Dimitri…" Mana panted.

"You're worried about them? How sweet of you," Milo replied as he crouched down to her.

Mana closed her eyes and continued to breathe heavily, the soul was silent, she couldn't hear the demonic chanting but it had begun to churn more violently. In one quick motion Milo leaned over her and inhaled deeply taking in her scent a smirk forming on his lips.

"You smell lovely…trembling weakly…" Milo commented.

"W-What happened…?" Mana panted, disgusted by the man that crouched over her.

"You'll find out soon enough…" Milo trailed off

"W-What did you do?" Mana's eyes shot open as she attempted to move for an attack only to grip her abdomen. Milo chuckled at her feeble attempt to move.

"You worry too much about others," Milo said as he pulled her on to her back.

"Gah!" Mana squeaked as she felt his hand on her for a split second. The skin that he had touched burned and froze as quickly as he touched it. Pain shot through her causing her to cry out only to bite her lip to silence herself.

"That is a weakness of your soul…" Milo said as he looked down at her indifferently, the smirk gone. Mana looked at the man as she continued to bite her lip to quell the remnants of pain swirled in her body.

"To cease the pain…you must sacrifice yourself," Milo said as he grabbed her chin.

"Ughn…" Mana groaned.

"Oh? I like the sound of that..." Milo smirked.

"Y—You are sick!" Mana shouted.

"Hm. I've been called worse…especially by my mother…before I gouged her eyes out," Milo replied simply.

A shiver shot through Mana's body at how easy and simple the man's answer was.

"I felt that too…" Milo commented as he looked over Mana's body, feeling the man's gaze she began to squirm.

"I feel kinda bad for you little lamb…" Milo chuckled. He began to lazily trace her jaw and down her neck.

"N-No!" Mana shrieked.

"I feel like I would have a lot of fun torturing you…and this body…Although I am surprised that the Nosferatu hasn't bit down on that pretty little neck of yours…then again I'm sure he sensed Lilim," Milo continued as his hand traced over her breast and down to her abdomen.

"N-ngh! S-stop!" Mana shrieked again. Everywhere he touched it burned and froze simultaneously making her want to tear off her own skin because of it.

"Do you know why your body reacts the way it does? Hm?" Milo asked as he left his fingertips near her navel.

"STOP!" Mana shrieked.

Milo removed his fingers from her abdomen and leaned towards her ear.

"Because I summoned Lilim…she responds to me… she is a part of me," Milo whispered.

"She submits to me and only me, let's omit the stubbornness and submit to me as well," Milo purred.

Mana panted heavily as his words seemed to quell the soul, her mind seemed to clear as if Lilim was allowing her to answer. Mana slowly turned her head towards the smirking man and spat in his face.

"I…I will not submit to you," Mana said confidently. In an instant Lilim began her onslaught inside of Mana's body as Milo looked blankly down at her. A strangled laugh erupted from Mana's lips despite the pain in her body, a pained grin twitched at her lips.

"So be it," Milo replied deeply and stood.

Lilim began to churn violently inside her once again; it felt as if it continued the sprit would shred her skin or bust from her.

"We'll see just how loyal you are to Hellsing," Milo said as he reached down grasping her a fist full of her hair and pulled. Before Mana had the chance to cry out Milo's foot kicked her in her stomach.

" I am going to break you, I will leave you breathless and heaving. Even if you hanging by a thread of your life. I will not give you mercy," Milo hissed, as his eyes seemed to glow.

Mana coughed and heaved heavily as blood dribbled down her lips, a whimper escaped her lips as she coughed up blood.

"You will know fear trifling little lamb," Milo's voice echoed through Mana's ears as her vision started to fade.

A/N: Alright so I planned for this to be out earlier, but lacked the motivation again. Also I'm abroad again and here is chapter 23.

Alucard took a bite out of Rip while Mana was caught. The soul inside of Mana is called Lilim and was summoned by Milo, but for what reason? Why is Lilim so important? What happened to Cain and Dimitri? Is Alucard going to come to rescue even with the mission from his master?
