I humbly apologize for the long delay, I honestly didn't mean for it to take so long to get a chapter out but university is officially stealing every aspect of my life these days…takes up all my time, my effort and my sleep plus my laptop has officially died on me but thankfully a friend of mine has given me his spare laptop to use in the meantime. T_T I hope it won't take so long for me to get more chapters out but at this point I'm not going to make any promises. On a happier note, that you to everyone who has reviewed/ followed/ favourite or just plain read my story, you guys are my inspiration and without you I would've given up and scrapped this story already.
Disclaimer: I don't own Hellsing, I own my little story's plot and my original characters but that's about it.
Chapter 5: My Guardian…..Devil?!
Darkness…she was surrounded by darkness, "Where am I?", but she wasn't afraid…she felt like she was floating on air, her body just felt so light, "What is this place?" She tried to move her arms but her body refused to obey her, she was tired….just so tired, "Am I dead?", strangely when this question entered her mind she still wasn't afraid… "I guess I really am dead…but what is this place…am I going to heaven or to hell?", she contemplated this thought for only a moment before a new voice echoed throughout the darkness, "Fear not my darling, you are not dead.", that simple sentence caused a thousand questions to race through Seras' mind. She knew that voice…it was the voice of that man…the one she dreamed of since she was a little girl…to think that his voice would still be with her even now and that it had such a soothing effect on her…her guardian angel. A soft chuckle echoed all around her "I am no angel my beloved in fact quite the opposite…but enough of this, you much wake beloved…", before she knew it there was a burning sensation in her throat that made her want to scream… "Open your eyes Seras! Look at me!", there was his voice again, at hearing his command Seras felt compelled to do as he said and suddenly the darkness was replaced with light as she opened her eyes…
The first thing she acknowledged when she opened her eyes was that she was on a large king size bed , as she sat up to further inspect it she saw that the sheets were a dark midnight blue, the large, soft pillows on which she had slept were the same colour. The frame of the bed was made from a dark hard wood from what she could see, the bed had a canopy and thin, golden veils that were meant to shield the sleeping person from the outside world were pulled aside so that she could better see the rest of the room, at the foot of the bed was a thick blanket the same midnight blue colour as the sheets and pillows but it also had golden embroidery on it. After inspecting the bed, Seras' eyes traveling across the room taking in all the décor…upon the wooden floor was a bear skin throw rug, the walls were made of large slabs of stone and were covered with tapestries depicting great battles. There were lit candles all around the room that helped to illuminate but also gave it an almost magical appearance, it made her feel as if she were in a dream….upon further inspection, Seras saw a large wardrobe at the far end of the room, a table and 2 chairs stood in the centre of the room, upon the table was a vase of wild flowers…the same kind that she used to love picking as a child…soon her eyes came to the windows, the dark blue curtains had been drawn and she had a perfect view of the moon…she admired its beauty not even realizing that there was another presence in the room, not realizing that while she had been inspecting her new surroundings someone else had been watching her from the shadows…
When Seras awoke, Alucard quickly blended into the shadows of the room, his eyes never leaving her as she started to sit up and inspect the room. He had to hold back his chuckle as he saw her look around with an almost childlike curiosity. His little one was still so innocent…it made him want her even more! To think that she has forever been tainted by his darkness and yet she is still so innocent and pure in her own way. His eyes watched her every movement and while a part of his mind maintained a firm link to her own so as to gauge her reaction, the other part was thinking over on how she would react upon seeing him and how she would take to being a vampire…though he didn't want to admit it he was afraid…she would no doubt be frightened and confused, she may even hate him and that thought caused him even greater anxiety… "Who's there?! Show yourself!", he was shocked from his thoughts and then cursed himself for being so careless, he had allowed her to sense him…he had heard the fear in her voice when she had called out which made him curse himself again….he didn't mean to frighten her but this was inevitable. Alucard took a deep breath before stepping out from the shadows and into the light so that Seras could see him.
"It's him!", needless to say Seras was shocked to see the man from her dreams stand before her. His long black hair as dark as a starless night, his pale white skin that rivalled moonlight, his tall lean body clothed in a simple white dress shirt, black pants and black riding boots...all these features would be seen as quite ordinary on any other man but not on him. Slowly her gaze was drawn to his handsome face, to his burning crimson eyes which she could swear could see right through into her soul..." I know you as Alucard...but who are you really?"
Alucard stood there drinking in her appearance, immortality suited her, her pale skin glowed in the candle light and her once beautiful blue eyes were now a deep crimson much like his own however they still held within them her purity and innocence. He felt desire course through his veins, when he heard her speak his given name he felt the need to take her into his arms and make her scream his name while he pleasured her in ways she could not imagine. Her innocence called to his darkness, she was so perfect his little one...and he knew that he was having a similar effect upon her for he could smell her arousal, it made his mouth water...he had to rein in his desires and remind himself that she had asked him a question and was waiting for and answer, "I am King Vlad Tepes, also known as Dracula by the humans of these lands...however Alucard is the name I go by now as it is the name you gave me my Little One."
Seras was fighting the desires she felt for this man, this was all so new to her and she didn't know what to do but all of that was forgotten when she heard his name...Dracula...oh she had heard that name before...the name of a dreaded vampire, a demon, the devil himself...but this couldn't be, vampires don't exist! Ah but we do exist Seras, we exist and the king of all vampires stands before you now, Seras was shocked to hear his voice echo within her mind...but before she could further think about all this, a burning sensation started in her throat, it felt like she was on fire from the inside! She wanted to scream from the pain but couldn't find her voice, Alucard immediately moved to her side, with a simple click of his fingers a golden goblet appeared in his hand, he then forced it into Seras' hands, "Drink, Seras.", she felt compelled to obey him and immediately drank from the goblet. The liquid that she drank brought instant relief, the burning sensation subsided and Seras could feel her body relax, with the pain gone she was able to focus on what it was that she was drinking...it tasted exquisite, unlike anything she's ever tasted and yet she couldn't identify what it could possibly be. Seras emptied the goblet and gave a satisfied moan, she raised her hand to her lips to wipe away the drops that remained there but when she looked at her fingers she saw that they were covered with a red liquid...Red...vampire...Oh Gods is this blood?!
Alucard was initially pleased with Seras' obedience and desire filled him once again when he saw how much she enjoyed the blood he had given her but when heard her thoughts he knew that this wasn't going to be easy, " Yes Seras, it is blood...you are a vampire now and so you need to feed on blood.", the effect of his words was immediate, Seras began to panic, touching her face and the rest of her body to see if he spoke the truth. Alucard sighed and waved his hand, suddenly a golden hand held mirror appeared before Seras, seemingly floating in the air, and in its reflection Seras took in her new appearance...pale skin, crimson eyes...and a bite wound on her neck.
Its true...I'm a vampire, a monster...a damned demon, opening her mouth Seras saw she had a pair of sharp fangs, if that wasn't proof enough then she didn't know what was. This was too much, far too much for her to handle right now and so she did the only thing she felt she could do...she started crying, in the mirror's reflection she saw that instead of normal watery tears, hers were tears of blood and this just made her cry even more.
Alucard made the mirror disappear and reached over to touch Seras but she slapped his hand away. "How dare you?! How dare you turn me into this?! Why couldn't you just let me die?!", he knew to expect such an outburst but her words still cut at him like a knife, "You are mine Seras, I wasn't going to let anyone take you from...", before he could finish his words Seras slapped him across his cheek this time, " You had no right to do this to me! I hate you! I'd rather be dead...", this time before Seras could finish her rant Alucard struck her, grabbed her and pushed her down onto the bed before putting his full body weight on her, he summoned his shadowy tendrils to bind her wrists above her and to grab each ankle and pull her legs wide open, he then summoned more tendrils to grope and caress her body through her clothes, his eyes burned with such an intensity that Seras couldn't help but whimper and shake from the evil she saw within them, he then took her lips in a violent kiss as he sought to dominate her...there was no love or passion in this kiss and Seras was forced to endure it until he pulled away, "I had every right, you are mine whether you like it or not! If I wanted to have my way with you right now I could and you would not be able to do a damn thing about it! YOU. ARE. MINE! Do you understand me Seras?!", bloody tears continued to run down her cheeks as she looked up at him and the next words came out instinctively, "Yes Master...". Seras was shocked when she realised what she said and this just added to her hatred for this man, she closed her eyes and allowed herself to sob out her grief.
Alucard was brought back to his senses when he heard her call him master...that simple word was a shock to his system, it was enough to banish the darkness from his mind and allowed him to actually acknowledge what he had done, what he was doing to his precious mate...immediately he dismissed the tendrils and removed himself from her...self-loathing, disgust, guilt...all of these filled him as he replayed everything he had just done in his mind. He had hit her, he practically violated her and and had stolen her first kiss as if he were a derange beast. Master...it felt s wrong for her to call him that, he didn't want to be her master, yes he had turned her and that made her his fledgling but he wanted her as his mate, his equal...he wanted to hear her call him mate, beloved even but never master..." Seras...I...", "Leave me alone! I hate you!", Seras turned away from him and continued to cry while Alucard could only stand there and watch while the guilt consumed him..., "Iarta-ma dragostea mea..." (Forgive me my love), with that he disappeared from the room but he could not escape the sound of Seras' sobs...
And that's the chapter done! Hopefully I'll be able to get another one out next weekend! Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, until next time!
