Hellsing Fan Fiction ❯ Through The Looking Glass ❯ Vampire Fetishes ( Chapter 5 )

 

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT in any way profit from this story, nor do the characters belong to me. All creative rights belong to Kouta Hirano, but since I'm using manga elements, they belong to Kohta Hirona as spelled on the manga cover. Anything in my story that has happened in real life is purely a coincidence.

 

 

A/N: Alright, it's been quite some time since I've updated… I've been sick and I think I'm getting sicker, damn. I saw the OVA 2! Jan has such a potty mouth! Anyhoo, Hopefully you guys like this chapter! I'll get back on track with Dance of The Dead as soon as I catch up the chapters (so they both have six) Oh and I told you there would be drama! Lots and lots of drama. Lovely… Also, it may look like a Pip/Seras story at first, but it is not.

 

 

 

 

The gray part of the sunrise was now over and a flamed colored hue glistened over the lands of the Hellsing estate. Some of the sunlight broke through the curtains of Seras' bedroom, leaving a bright yellow color over her wooden floors. Some of the light flashed onto her mirror and created a glare which shined on to her closed eyelids. Seras' stirred awake slowly, and turned to lay on her left side, but that made the glare much worse and she eventually awoke.

 

 

She didn't move from her spot on the bed; she just let the warmth surround her. The mirror on her vanity caught her attention, there was a sign of something black swirling it in, but as soon as she blinked it was gone.

 

 

“Probably just my eyes playing tricks on me.” Seras yawned loudly and stretched in her bed. Then it hit her, she wasn't wearing her usual silk pajamas, which were usually loose on her. Nor was she naked, Seras quickly pulled her covers down and looked at her body… `Still in uniform? I don't even remember going to sleep…' Seras sat up and looked around, maybe she'd just walked into her room and fell asleep because she was too tired and now she couldn't remember…It sounded a little farfetched, but that's all she could muster at the moment.

 

 

With much hesitation Seras got out of bed and changed her cloths, into a new uniform that was clean. A throbbing headache was making it self known to Seras, which was slightly unusual since she never really got headaches, but she shrugged it off and left her bedroom.

 

 

 

 

Within the basement Alucard was sitting in his infamous chair, using his hand as a pillow. Boredom written across his face; since the girl had come there wasn't many missions as of yet. The same little chat with her wasn't very entertaining either, but the night before he actually talked to her was somewhat fun. Perhaps he'd just scare her to death and she would leave. He didn't want anymore people watching his `home', if he could call it that, more like a prison with some great perks.

 

 

Yesterday the police girl had come into his chambers and collapsed against the cold wall. The reason for her unconsciousness was unknown to him at the moment; she was interesting though, so maybe he wouldn't make her leave just yet… Maybe he would just break her into Hellsing a little differently then the others. Yes, that would do.

 

 

At first he didn't like the thought of her invading this place, but then again he hated when the mercenaries arrived as well. The commander didn't even scare very well, which took the fun out of everything. The police girl would do for now, until he got bored at least.

 

 

 

 

 

The day was getting more and more boring as it went by, and now it was almost sunset. Seras decided to head towards the large library she had seen earlier. The room was beautiful; books filled the entire room and everything was made from oak. It looked like it was an old library; first edition books lined the bookshelves.

 

 

“A lot of vampire books in here… Maybe my family has a vampire fetish?” Humor coated her whispered words and she giggled at the thought. Seras went towards the medical book shelves first, she wasn't really interested in medicine but she was curious as to how old these books actually were.

 

 

After looking over several of the many books and finding nothing of interest Seras sat down in a leather chair near by. Her azure orbs scanned all the titles…until she saw something that looked more like a diary than an actual book. Her brow furrowed as she starred at the book, it wasn't very old, maybe a century old…? Seras got out of the huge leather chair and reached towards the bookshelf…unfortunately she was a bit too short and couldn't reach the object she'd set her sights on.

 

 

The moving of furniture was heard throughout the library as Seras dragged the once occupied chair towards the shelf. Without much more trouble Seras managed to get the old book from the shelves. With the book in hand Seras lost her balance on the chair and fell on the ground with a thump.

 

 

The library door opened and one of the maids peeked through, “Miss Victoria…? Are you okay?” The maid asked so quietly that Seras almost didn't hear…why was the maid scared of her?

 

 

“Oh yes, I'm fine… Just fell off my chair…” Seras rubbed the back of her neck nervously.

 

 

The maid nodded her head and left the room quickly and quietly, “Phew…Wait, why am I so worried about a maid finding me reading a journal …?” Seras pondered for a moment but then her attention was quickly brought the diary in hand. Just as Seras was about to open the old object a phone rung to her right, a dainty white phone sat on one of the old oak end tables. Since no one else but her was in the room she thought she would answer it, `Wouldn't do any harm.' With that thought in mind Seras made her way from the floor and towards the telephone.

 

 

“Agent Victoria, there is a mission for you. Get ready…and quick, we will not wait long. Be at the training grounds in ten minutes,” a woman's voice said on the other side of the line, firm and demanding. Which only meant one person…Somehow Integra knew that Seras was within the library, no doubt the maid told her.

 

 

Seras set the phone back on the receiver, and ran towards the large wooden portal leading into the hallways… `Better hurry!' She thought frantically.

 

 

 

 

 On her way to her bedroom to put the journal away, Seras ran into Walter. Not exactly ran into him, but saw him walking towards her with a smile. 

 

 

“Miss Victoria… Has anyone told you what we are going after yet?” Walter asked once he was close enough for her to hear him.

 

 

“Well, no not yet, I kept forgetting to ask…Would you mind telling me…” Seras bent over and put her gloved hands on her knees, trying to control her breathing. Walter's smiled faltered a bit, “Did you run all the way here from the library?”

 

 

Seras gave him a strange look, how did he know she was in the library…oh, that's right she was holding a book, but then again it could be her own journal! A very, very old leather journal. “Uh, yes I did, Sir Integra said that I had only ten minutes to get the training grounds.” The smirk on Walter's face from before returned.

 

 

“Well, I must tell you before you leave what you are hunting…You probably won't believe it, but we hunt vampires or FREAKS as we call them. I'm sure you've read Bram Stoker's Dracula, but it doesn't exactly work like that. When a vampire bites a deflowered human they become like zombies, but we call them ghouls. Usually there is only one host who controls the ghouls, and the host is a vampire. When you shoot them make sure you aim for either the heart or head, you are freeing them of misery.” Walter eyed Seras' reaction to the news.

 

 

“Vampires? Ghouls?” Seras gave Walter a quizzical look, but his expression told her that he was dead serious. “I…I'll have to see this with my own eyes. I have to go now Walter!” Seras ran past the man quickly, she didn't have much time left to talk about vampire fetishes.

 

 

Walter watched her retreating form and sighed, she'll understand soon enough. As for Integra, he wasn't entirely sure as to why she had told the midian to come along…Wouldn't that let Seras know about him, Integra just said it was for the younger girl's safety. Alucard was told not to let himself be known to the girl, only to Pip and his men…Unfortunately this all confused Walter at the moment and he decided not to question his employer and do his duties as butler.

 

 

 

 

The moon cast a light gleam over the building where the vampire was said to be. It was an old abandoned building. Some of the windows were broken or missing all together and the painted brick of the building was peeling away at certain parts. Even pieces of the entire thing were missing.

 

 

`Seems like the perfect place for a vampire to hide, maybe we'll find its coffin…Or maybe I should be questioning Walter's sanity.' Seras sighed at her last thought, and she liked the old guy a lot, too.

 

 

The van came to an abrupt halt, and the commander to Seras' right cussed under his breath. No one really moved in the van, but they seemed irritated by the sudden stop. “What ze fuck?!” Pip growled at the driver, the driver in return gave a small apology.

  

 

“Alright, get ze fuck out of zis zing!” Pip yelled to his men, while one of them opened the door at the back and jumped out, he was followed by the others.

 

 

“'Ey you, girl, I `ave an order from ze `igher up. Stay zere for a second.” Pip walked, or what you could call crouched towards her, since the ceiling was low and they were still in the van. “Sir Integra said you `ad to do zis mission on your own, we're just back up. In case you get messed up in zere.” Pip grinned at her.

 

 

“Good luck, girl,” Pip said as he jumped out of the van.

 

 

Seras glowered at his back, “Yes sir.” She grabbed a regular pistol, some ammo, a flashlight and strapped the gun to her side and jumped from the vehicle.

 

 

 

 

 

The inside of the building was dark and musty; she almost sneezed twice but managed to keep quiet. This was one big test, yes there was a target but it was still just a test, a dangerous one at that. There was no sign of ghouls or vampires yet…

 

 

There was a groan a few meters away, it was in the room to the right. Then there were several groans, and then the door flew off its hinges and smashed against the far wall. About ten people came out of the room, they looked normal from where she stood, but when she flashed the light on them, only half their faces were there and blood was dripping from various wounds on their person.

 

 

Seras covered her mouth in disgust, were these things the ghouls Walter was talking about? There was no more doubt within her mind now. Without much hesitation Seras grabbed her gun from its holster and pointed the gun… `I can't…There are children within them! But Walter said they were miserable.' With the last thought Seras shot at the group getting their attention. She'd only managed to hit about seven ghouls, hitting various parts of their disgusting bodies. All the purplish glowing eyes were now trained on her.

 

 

Time to run.

 

 

Seras turned around as fast as she could and she took off like a bat out of hell; she needed a spot to shoot them without getting their attention. “There!” Seras yelled to herself and kicked open the door to a small dusty room. Dirt swirled around her as she walked around the room looking for a good vantage point. She quickly turned around and closed the wooden portal.

 

 

There was a twin sized bed to use for blocking the door off, other than that there was nothing to use. It took a lot of effort to push the bed towards the door, and it made a bit of noise, but she managed to get it there.

 

 

The room only had one window, and the moon shined through it, leaving an eerie glow about the room. Seras leaned against one of the walls and reloaded her gun; she really should have brought more than just a one little pistol. Just when Seras thought she was out of luck she heard a very loud gunshot and boom right afterwards. Also there was what sounded like laughter…Two different types of laughter. It sounded like the ghouls left the area as well.

 

 

Seras got up from her spot on the floor and moved the bed to the side (very difficult). She opened the door slowly and peeked outside…no one was there. Again there was the sound of gunshots and windows breaking and more laughter…It was coming from the hallway just above her. With as much curiosity as a cat, Seras left the safety of the room and went up the staircase that was near by.

 

 

At the top of the stairway, she crouched so low that it looked more like she was trying to lie down on the stairs. There was the man in red, and some sort of deranged priest and they were fighting like no mortal. Blades and papers were going everywhere, and it looked like the man in red was losing, badly. For some reason Seras wanted to jump out there and defend him, but she was afraid of Mr. Crazy Priest, so she just listened to them talk as they fought.

 

 

“Ye think ye'll win wi' yer black magic, vampire?!” The blond man yelled while swinging two blades towards the other man. `Vampire?' Seras watched in fear as the blades went into each of his hands, pinning him to the wall.

 

 

“Ye're ae dog o' Hellsing!” With that the man in red's head was cut off and landed behind the Priest. Seras watched in horror as the head came to a stop near her; she wanted to scream but covered her mouth and whimpered instead.

 

 

The priest turned around after his little fit of laughter was over and locked eyes with Seras. “Another Hellsing member? Ye people won't give it up, will ye?” He stalked towards Seras, while letting a few blades fall from the insides of sleeves.

 

 

Seras narrowed her blue eyes at the man, challenging him. She stood up from her spot on the stairs and aimed her gun at him, trying not to let the gun shake too much. He started to run towards her and Seras pulled the trigger getting him in the forehead, and the priest went back a few meters.

 

 

However he got right back up and laughed, “The other Hellsing lap dog did the same thing, ye can't kill me, child. Now just shut up and let me dae my job!” He ran at her again, almost too quickly for her to see him but not quickly enough. Seras rolled to the side and shot him in the leg, only to watch it regenerate itself.

 

 

Though he missed and hit her in the shoulder with his sword. Blood shot fourth from her shoulder and landed on the wall just behind. The blade pierced her shoulder as well, and also pinned her to the wall. Seras grabbed at the blade, trying to get it out of her… But the Priest was already in front of her and was already raising his weapon to strike.

 

 

Seras closed her cobalt eyes waiting for the blow to come, but opened them quickly when she heard gunshots and the sound of glass breaking, or what she thought was glass…but it was the priest's sword. Seras quickly looked to who shot the gun… The commander!

 

 

“'Ey, asshole! Get away from `er!” Pip looked rather angry, and then thousands of black bats surrounded Seras and the priest, the man before her tried to kill as many bats as he could…but failed.

 

 

The bats left the two and started to make a large circle down the hallway, someone was forming within the bats' circle. Someone Seras recognized, the same man from before. The priest ran off towards Alucard, blades in hand and stopped short when Alucard blew a hole in his shoulder with the much larger black gun. `The same spot where he hurt me…' Seras thought with a smile, was he defending her honor? They didn't know each other.

 

 

“I think it's time you leave, Judas Priest. Or would you like to have another hole in your other shoulder to match that one?” Alucard grinned at the priest; Anderson just glared at the midian. “Ah need more preparation fae this one…but next time ye die.” Papers swirled this way and that, and then Anderson was gone.

 

 

Seras wrinkled her face in agony; the blade was still in her shoulder. Then she heard the smooth laughter from Alucard again. “He runs away with his tail between his legs and he calls me a dog.” Alucard chuckled again and looked at Seras. Something in his eyes changed when he saw the blood dripping from her wound and he grinned.

 

 

They locked eyes for a moment, but it felt like an eternity to Seras. His ruby orbs were enjoyable to stare into, it filled her with some sort of strange pleasure. Then he looked away from her and her wound and glared at something or someone.

 

 

“'Ey, girl, are you alright? Jesus, `e messed your shoulder up. `Old still, I'm gonna take it out.” Pip grabbed the blade's handle and looked at her, asking for permission, Seras just nodded and closed her eyes.

 

 

Pain shot through Seras as he pulled the blade out quickly. She only whimpered. “T-thanks…” Seras whispered and smiled at the man who was kneeling in front of her. Her gaze turned away from him and back to Alucard, who wasn't looking at her still. Somehow that saddened her.

 

 

“What's the damage, vampire?” Integra's angered voice rang out through the hallway.

 

 

“The girl was wounded by the insane catholic, nothing too serious.” Alucard started to grin again and his ruby eyes looked at Seras again. For a moment she thought she saw him lick his lips while starring at her wound…Her eyes were playing tricks again, and she was starting to feel woozy.

 

 

“She needs bandages, master…or she will die form blood loss. He almost hit an artery, too bad he didn't… I was feeling kind of hungry.” Alucard's grin grew when he said this; Integra threw him an annoyed look. She knew he was just trying to push her buttons though.

 

 

The platinum blond walked over to the younger girl who was holding her shoulder, trying to keep pressure on it. “Seras, I will call Walter, and he will tell the doctors nearby to be ready for you. I'm going to take you there by helicopter, can you handle that?” Integra asked firmly, but was gentle when she touched Seras' arm.

 

 

“I think I can handle that, sir.” Seras smiled weakly; though out of the corner of her eye she could see Alucard looking disappointed… was it because he wanted her blood?

 

 

“Good, get up and follow me. Captain Bernadette, you take your men back to the mansion.” Integra stood and started to walk towards another set of stairs at the end of the hallway, with Seras in tow.

 

 

“I expect to see you at home, Alucard,” Integra said while lighting up a cigar and looked at him over her shoulder, with a small smile on her lips. “Yes, master.” Alucard bowed and went through the portal he made in the wall to his right.

 

 

Pip looked dumbfounded at first and then just sighed, “Zis is so weird…” With that he went downstairs, calling out to his men in French.

 

 

 

 

 

They arrived at the private hospital rather easily, and fast since they used a helicopter…Seras refused to tell Sir Integra that she felt like puking during the whole ride, but she was sure Integra could tell anyways. Who couldn't, Seras looked pale and her eyes were distant.

 

 

The hospital looked like it was only reserved for Sir Integra and her men or people who were bitten by vampires…or something, she wasn't really sure.

 

 

She didn't have to wait long before she got some stitches and an arm sling, which left her out of commission for awhile, much to Integra's dismay. Alucard was right; he'd been close to cutting an artery. Also, Integra told her all about Alucard and what he was, and why he called a mere human master… Though all of it was confusing at first, Seras managed to figure it out…He was in fact the man in red at the pond the other day and Seras had been going into his chambers to talk with Pip, she felt like she'd invaded his personal space.

 

 

Now that all that was settled, she could read the journal and work at Hellsing all at the same time.

 

 

Hopefully nothing else would go wrong….

 

 

 

 

A/N: Ah, another chapter out and I feel like sleeping… what fun. If you'd like to review be my guest. It makes me feel happy… Uh, I'm gonna sleep now though. Any mistakes, I apologize.

 

(P.S. I rewrote a little part of this chapter, the part where Seras shot one of the ghouls, though she reloaded her gun…Didn't make much sense to me actually, only one bullet was gone and she reloaded! Yeah… As you should all know, I redid the first OVA and I made them backwards. I wasn't sure how to put Jan and Luke in this story, so I skipped past that… If this is at all confusing to you guys, tell me and I will explain further. Also, I am following the manga/OVA; I will take only a few things from the first anime series, but hopefully not much. Such as Alucard can not read the minds of people he hasn't drank from…That was a large sentence, huh? Also, I'm not sure if I will use the Nazis, maybe they'll show up as small characters, not Nazis though…I love Rip Van Winkle, so I might include her, as well as Schro.)
