Hellsing Fan Fiction ❯ Seras 2066 ❯ Getting Ones Bearings ( Chapter 5 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

I (islandhopper700) DID NOT write this fanfic, and I'm not claiming any praise for it. This was written by a 57 year old guy named Mike, better known as green onion. The second he says so I'll stop posting. I just think it's a great story that deserves to be shared

Gwenllian Hellsing rushed into her daughter's room, her very groggy husband Richard right behind her.

Alice was thrashing around in her bed, screaming in terror.

Gwen gently shook Alice as she said, "Alice wake up. It's just a bad dream. Wake up, my darling."

Richard watched with concern as Alice's eyes shot open and stared unfocused. Then the child started to cry.

Outside the bedroom's door, Christine, in human form, approached. A guard there quietly said, "Hey, you know that you wolves are not supposed to be in this part of the house."

Richard said in a low voice to the guard, "Let her stay this time."

The red haired Christine watched with a worried look.

Gwen said soothingly, "Don't worry, dearest, mommy is here. Look, Alice, daddy is here. Even Christine's here, too."

Alice's eyes focused. She asked, "Is Christine going to get in trouble with mommy for being here?"

Gwen sighed. "No, of all the wolves mommy can't stand, Christine bothers me the least."

Alice said shakily, "Thank you, mommy. There were monsters in my dreams. One of the monsters ate the other one twice."

Gwen said with slight amusement, "That's a strange thing to do."

"Mommy, I can still hear their voices in my head."

Richard tensed up and Gwen covered up a fearful look.

Gwen asked, "What are they saying?"

"Mommy, I don't know everything they are saying, but I heard the lady monster say 'Master' and 'Al-' some other name."

Richard said, "Don't worry, Alice. Daddy will protect you."

Alice continued, "And mommy, daddy, the really scary monster said 'Police Girl' and 'Seras'."

Christine hissed out air upon hearing the name 'Seras'. Richard and Gwen glanced at Christine.

Christine said softly, "Seras was the name that the creature at the old Hellsing mansion told me. Seras Victoria is its full name, I believe."

Richard frowned. "I'm going to check out the old mansion."

Gwenllian shook her head. "You've got to meet your brother today and check on the troops he's sending you. I'll go and get rid of this Seras creature."

"No, dear. You can meet with my brother. I'll hunt the creature."

"No, Richard. You know that he doesn't respect me. He considers me a soldier girl who married you to change my lot in life. He will just try to bully me and I can't hit your brother without his guards attacking me."

Richard sighed, "Ok. But you are going to have to take some of the wolves with you.

Gwen said sourly, "I'll be fine with a few troops. I'll still be on your estate."

Richard shook his head. "You'll be taking Tim and Laura with you along with a few troops or you won't go."

Gwen groused, "A choice between traveling with two bloody werewolves or having a quiet lunch with your brother. It's bad either way… I'll go with the wolves."

Christine volunteered, "I'll go, too."

Richard commanded, "No! You'll stay in the house and heal those silver wounds you've received. And don't sneak out again!"

Christine said with a downcast look, "Yes, Boss."

"And stop calling me Boss! Refer to me as Mr. Hellsing or Sir."

"Yes, Boss."

Lord Perrin sat in a richly furnished office behind a large oak desk. His dark suit fit his slim frame perfectly. His short blond hair was combed expertly; his fanged teeth were pearly white and his blue eyes exuded confidence.

Outside the office's door came the sound of female argument. He sighed and rubbed his forehead as if he was trying to rid himself of a headache.

He called out, "Ladies! Please enter."

He waved his hand and the door opened by itself. Two beautiful women in gowns came at the same time through the doorway that was meant only for one person. Each tried to shoulder her way past the other to enter the room first. They tumbled to the floor before the desk growling and hissing.

Before a fight could break out, "Ladies! We have business to attend to. Please, my beautiful servants, be seated. And please remember that you two are no longer servant and mistress, no long merely a vampire nor a werewolf, ladies."

The two broke apart and sat in the chairs before the desk. Both of them beamed radiantly at Perrin with eyes and smiles that tried to draw him in.

Lord Perrin commented, "It nice to see you both dressed so lovely, my dears, but first things first. Lady Caitlin, give your report."

Lady Caitlin shot a victory smirk at the other lady. Caitlin's gown was blue with a king's ransom worth of gems and jewels decorating the dress and her blond hair.

Caitlin smiled seductively at Perrin. "Perrin darling, the Tribe of the Five Roses has lost more of their fighters with their little squabble with the Hellsing dogs. As a tribe, they are becoming weak and they will need more werewolves to continue their spat with Hellsing. I have sent some of my agents to join the Five Roses. Soon, we will have complete control of that tribe and their gene pool. We've more werewolf essences to create our werewolf chips. Now that everything important has been said, how about you and I go off and-"

"Hey", the other woman interrupted.

Perrin said, "Ladies." Both of the women quieted.

Perrin continued, "Lady Caitlin, even though you're no longer Lady Lesley's servant, there is no reason to be rude to her. She did make you into her werewolf and look where you are now."

Caitlin humphed.

Perrin smiled at the two. "Lady Lesley, give your report, please."

Lady Lesley's dress was green, which went well with her long red hair. The amount of sparkling gems and jewelry tried to out do Lady Caitlin's outfit and looked just as bright.

Lesley smiled at Perrin the same smile as Caitlin's. The smile tried to pull Perrin's soul into it. Perrin smiled. "The report, please", asked Perrin.

Lesley started, "The Five Roses raid on Hellsing wiped out half of it combat wolves and two of the remaining ones were wounded. My inside source said that the bastard Richard Hellsing is requesting replacements from his dear sweet brother."

Perrin smiled, "Yes, I know. I'm moving my people into those replacements. Is that all, my dear?"

Lesley stopped for a second as if she needed something to say to keep Perrin's attention, and then said, "The Hellsings ran into some kind of creature at the old Hellsing Mansion. Hellsing believes it to be a vampire, but there is nobody new on our or anybody else's network. It could be a rouge werewolf. We've got too many of those dogs running around."

Caitlin broke in, "I heard about it, too. The Five Roses think that the Hellsings are making chipped vampires. And those wolves are angry! They want to attack the Hellsings as soon as they get some replacement werewolves. And Lesley, dear, if you were to refer to a werewolf as a dog again, I'll break all of your fingers, again, leech."

Lesley snapped, "Not before I break your nose, again. Or is that thing called a snout, dog-girl?"

Perrin quietly said, "Now, ladies."

Both Lesley and Caitlin quieted as if by magic.

Perrin asked, "Lady Lesley was there any description of the creature?"

Lesley said, "Other than red eyes and reddish blond hair, no, lover boy."

"Hmm", puzzled Perrin. "While you two lovely ladies were discussing fingers and noses, I just got some network news from our Southwark affiliates. It seems that a group of their chipped werewolves ran into a little trouble and had to flee across the River Thames. They were merely collecting humans for the blood farms to the south and a young woman with strawberry blond hair rudely went and killed one of the wolves and chased the others off. If she is the same Hellsing creature and is a vampire, then I imagine that she is dining very fine right now."

Perrin continued, "The activities of Hellsing and the Tribes of the Five Roses are going according to my plan. Soon as we take control of them, we will begin our infiltration of Westminster. But I would like to collect any unknown rogue vampires. Lady Lesley, do you have any agents near the old Hellsing mansion?"

Lesley smiled in victory that she was asked instead of Caitlin. "Yes. There is my former love Larry. He is a second level vampire with two second level doggies and one first level vampire as his servants."

Caitlin angrily warned, "Lesley! Larry was mine before you changed us!"

Lesley ignored Caitlin and continued, "And the first level vampire has four first level doggies under her leash."

Caitlin jumped up and said angrily, "That's it, bloodsucker! Time for finger breaking!"

Lesley smiled and revealed her fangs, "Try it, puppy girl."

Perrin smiled anticipating a fight, but then said, "Ladies, now is not the time for fun. Lady Lesley, when the sun sets, I want you to send your agents to the old Hellsing mansion. You both used to be very fond of this Larry. It will be interesting to see how he handles this task."

Seras scanned the group before her as the sun peaked over the horizon. The sunlight touched her face and Seras looked slightly annoyed.

Some of the people, before Seras, were hurt from when the werewolf had smashed through them when he had charged Seras five minutes ago. Some of them had broken arms; some had broken legs; one or two of them might have cracked ribs. Humans are such a fragile species.

Seras asked hopefully, "Any of you guys know first aid?"

Only one woman nodded.

Seras sighed, "This is going to be a long day."

Four men and two women in tan military uniforms traveled through the deserted streets just north of the Southwark Bridge. They were armed with various rifles and pistols of different makes and ages.

The woman out front studied the ground. She said, "The wolves came through here… without any of the reported prisoners. One was bleeding. I think there are four of them."

One of the men, a sergeant, said, "Right. Track them from where they came from. Maybe some of the prisoners are still alive."

The group headed north.

They came upon a group of fifty men, women and children who were milling around a street. A few of the people started to panic.

The sergeant yelled, "We're from Westminster. Are you people ok?"

Some of the people knotted together in one spot. Others still milled around, not certain where to go. Two men and a teenage girl ran up to the soldiers.

The first man yelled in a whining voice, "It took you long enough to get here. We've still got a monster amongst us."

The second man spoke up, "Shut up. It's a Hellsing monster. She saved the lot of us."

The first man angrily rebutted, "All monsters are the same. It's either them or us humans. Kill it now!"

The sergeant commanded, "Be quiet. Where is the monster?"

The first man pointed at the knot of people.

The teenage girl spoke up, "She a good monster. She got rid of the wolves and now she's doing doctor work on the wounded."

The sergeant frowned. He said, "Ok. You three stay here. Team, go forward and be prepared. It might be a Hellsing creature; so much as I hate to say this, no shooting, if it isn't necessary."

The team walked up to the knot of people, which just melted away. Before them were six people sitting and lying on the ground. Two women were working on the wounds of two different people. One was in dirty ragged clothes and the other was Seras.

The soldiers glanced around looking for some hairy werewolf. The Sergeant finally said, "Ok. Which one of you is the Hellsing monster?"

"I am." said Seras as she continued to put a splint made of strips of pant legs and wooden sticks torn from a door on a man's broken arm.

Two of the more nervous soldiers pointed their guns at her. The crowd started to panic.

Without looking up Seras said, "Don't shoot. You might hit one of the civilians."

The sergeant said, "Alright. Lower your weapons, soldiers."

The sergeant walked up to Seras, and asked, "What's one of the Hellsing monsters doing away from convoy escort duty?"

Seras sighed as she completed the splint and said softly to the wounded man she was working on, "It's done, Peter. You can go now."

The man nervously walked away. Seras glanced at the sergeant's rank insignia. She said, "Sergeant, I'm on a break. Anyway, do any of you people have a first aid kit?"

The sergeant frowned. "We'll take care of these folks. You shouldn't be this close to Westminster without your human Hellsing commander, monster."

"Sergeant, I have a name and it's Seras Victoria. That's Senior Officer Seras Victoria of Hellsing, sergeant."

The sergeant studied Seras' dark glasses and noticed the sun on her skin. He said with less suspicion, "Officer Seras, you should leave, now."

"Sergeant, do you need an escort to Westminster?"

The sergeant grinned, "No, but thanks for the offer. Officer Seras, what makes you want to play hero out here?"

"Somebody has to, sergeant. Bye."

"I'll remember your name, Seras Victoria. Bye."

Seras walked away to the north. After a few minutes Seras said, "Mr. Vince, you and that lady werewolf are sure quiet. Is there anything wrong?"

In Seras' mind there was a dog-like whimper, followed by Vince saying, "Seras, the bitch is a mess."

"Mr. Vince, don't call her a bitch. That isn't very nice."

"Yes, Seras. I'm sorry, Seras. I won't call that bitch a bitch again… That didn't come out right."

"Mr. Vince, That's not like you! What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, Seras. I've just realized how much I have wronged you."

A female presence whined, "Sorry… Sorry for attacking you, mistress."

"My name is Seras; not mistress."

The female voice whispered, "Sorry, Seras."

"What is your name?"

"It's Millie, mistress."

Seras snapped, "That's it! I'm coming in!"

Seras view of the world faded and the darkness of her mind came into view. Vince was waiting patiently while Millie groveled on the floor and started to crawl towards Seras.

Seras demanded, "Vince, what happened to her?"

Vince said formally, "My lady Seras, it happened after you pulled her spirit from that Alucard thing."

Seras looked shocked and then stared at Millie. On her was a translucent scar that was much larger that any of the previous scars. It floated slightly off her scalp in the air.

Seras frowned. "I thought I got rid of all those things. Miss Millie, please be still."

Seras grabbed the translucent scar-like thing. A very possessive voice came from the scar. It was Seras' voice saying, "This one is MINE!" It repeated over and over.

A surprised look came over Seras' face before she said, "I see. These scars are like mind controlling… things. This one came from my fight with my master over who keeps Millie. I didn't know that I did this to her."

Vince said subserviently, "You are so brilliant, my lady Seras.

Seras' eyes focused on Vince and a smaller scar floated next to Vince's head.

Seras frowned and said sourly, "My master's lesson to me was how to make slaves out of those people who end up in my head. Well, I won't have it! I won't!"

Seras ripped Millie's scar apart and Millie groaned in pain. Then Millie looked puzzled, followed by a look of fury.

Millie growled, "You've killed me!"

Seras said defensively, "Well, yes. You were trying to kill an escapee and I had to stop you."

Millie snapped, "You shouldn't have gotten in my way. I was… I was following orders? Why was I following orders? Following orders is for losers."

Seras said as she walked over to Vince, "I think you were brainwashed, Miss Millie."

Millie demanded, "Well, let me out of here, stupid. I got people to take vengeance on."

Seras ripped the scar on Vince apart. Seras replied, "I don't know if you can leave here. If you could leave, where would you go? Would you float around like a ghost, or would you go to either heaven or hell?"

Millie stopped, stunned. She said, "Hell… I think I'll hang around here, girl. Just make sure you'll do what I say and we'll get along just fine."

Vince, who was no longer controlled by a scar, snapped, "What were you doing with one of my tribe's dagger, bitch?"

Millie growled back, "Our vampire bosses gave them to us, you dumb bastard."

Seras broke in, "Wait a minute. Miss Millie, you had a vampire boss?"

"Of course, girl. It's a vampire who put the werewolf chip in me. What kind of stupid vampire are you? Didn't you get a download? Like an 'Idiots guide to being a Vampire'?"

Seras complained, "Hey, I'm not a chipped vampire."

Vince growled, "She is not an idiot."

Seras smiles tiredly, "Thanks, Mr. Vince."

Vince continued, "Seras is just a little slow in thinking things out."

Seras complained, "VINCE!"

Alucard's rumbling chuckling came out of nowhere.

Seras said sourly, "Great. Now my master is laughing at me."

Millie demanded loudly, "Who the bloody hell is that?"

Vince said in a subdued voice, "That's the guy that tried to take us away."

Millie let out in a fearful voice, "Crap." And then both Vince and Millie became quiet.

Alucard's chuckle became laughter. "You should train your pet dogs better, Seras Victoria."

Seras pouted, "Everyone is picking on me."

Seras shifted her view to the outside world and quietly said, "Ten more blocks until I get home."

Alucard's voice said, "Hurry."

A large yellow army style truck pulled into the front of the old Hellsing mansion. The forty-year-old vehicle belched smoke until its engine stopped. The Hellsing Security Agency insignias were painted on its sides.

Three women and three men climbed out of it. All were in camouflage clothes and carrying weapons.

Gwenllian carried a rifle on her back and a pistol in her holster. She said, "Alright, people. Nobody will go off by himself or herself. Travel in twos and threes if we have to separate."

The brown haired werewolf Laura said, "We all know the drill, Hellsing. Tim and I been doing did for years. Just don't slow us down."

Tim, who was also a brown haired werewolf, agreed, "Yeah. You humans just wait out here and you won't get hurt."

Gwen said seriously, "Tim, Laura, you will do as you are told."

Laura shook her head, "The only reason a wind-up toy cyborg like you is in command is that you're married to the boss Hellsing."

Gwen lowered her voice, "This is why I hate to work with you werewolves. You can't take any orders."

Tim growled, "We know you hate us, but we're not the ones who chewed off your arms and a leg."

Gwen snapped, "I tried to treat you with respect, but you think humans are inferior."

Laura smirked, "But they are."

Christine interrupted, "Hey, we are a team and there could be a vampire in that old building."

Tim spoke up, "Yeah, we'll talk about this later."

Laura said to Christine, "I swear that you are becoming more and more human each day."

Christine looked insulted as Gwen spoke up, "Ok, in we go. Aaron-"

One of the two male human soldiers nodded.

Gwen continued, "Aaron, you'll go with Tim and Reed will back up Laura. Christine will stay with me."

Gwen whispered to Christine, "Even though you're going to get in trouble with Richard, I'm glad you came."

Christine whispered back as she limped, "Thanks."

They headed into the mansion through the destroyed lobby doors and saw six bodies there, laid neatly together.

Gwen said, "Damn. Look at that."

Tim nodded. "Yeah. All torn up and no blood on them. Strange though, I thought that the vamps only liked their meal directly from their victim's veins."

Christine added, "The three dead ones from here, two from outside and the ghoul one from down stairs."

Laura slowly transformed into a giant wolf. She sniffed the air and growled out something.

Christine translated, "Laura said she can smell the stench of the vampire that was here, but it smells different than other vampires."

Gwen said, "Ok. We'll all head down into the stairs. Laura and Reed in front, then Tim and Aaron and following up will be Christine and myself. Aaron and Reed, light up your torches."

Reed asked, "Shouldn't we leave someone in the lobby?"

Gwen said, "These are your first lessons, Reed, and I will not repeat them. One: As long as there is daylight outside, if the vampire is here, then it is trapped in this building. Daylight will turn a vampire into dust. Two: Once Laura gets a fresh track of the vampire, then we can hunt her down, corner her and dispose of her. Three: If we separate, then the vampire will have an easy time picking us off, one by one. Got that?"

Reed said, "Yes Mrs. Hellsing."

"Ok. Let's go, people."

The group headed down and came into an underground room with two other doorways leading out.

Christine said, "That nasty Five Roses blond werewolf and I lost a lot of blood in here. The blood has been cleaned up."

Gwen commanded, "Laura and Reed will search and backup will be Tim and Aaron. Christine and I will guard this room.

Gwen watched the others disappeared into one doorway before she asked Christine, "Can you transform without ripping open your wounds?"

"Sure."

"Answer me honestly."

"Well… I'm not supposed to transform. My bandages will tear."

The group, led by Laura, came out of a doorway and left to search another hallway.

Gwen asked Christine, "Any idea why the vampire didn't kill you? Not that I'm complaining that you are alive. I much prefer you be here."

Christine puzzled, "She released the Five Roses wolves, but she killed one of them earlier. I… They're back."

Laura led the group back into the room and growled out something. Christine translated, "The vampire's smell is strong in places here. Like it was searching this place. There was one room that had a very old very odd vampire smell, but nothing was in there."

Gwen nodded. "Very good, everyone. Now, we'll check out the first floor."

They walked back up the stairs. Laura stopped and growled menacingly.

As the others came into view, they saw a young strawberry blond woman in a black trench coat and dark glasses.

Seras said to the group, "Hi. Are you Hellsing's people?"

Christine whispered, "It's her."

Seras saw the others start to aim guns at her as the wolf in front leapt at her. She said weakly in fear, "This is going to hurt."
