11 Chapter 11 - First Mission Part 2 (2/2)
”I'm just glad you enjoyed it, my master!” Seras says while jumping happily near him.
”Lets go report this to Integra, I'm sure she wants to know that it has been handled.” Alucard says.
”Ok, but can we go slowly? This only took 5 minutes and I'm still not ready to be around humans. I'm afraid of what I'll do to them.” Seras begs pitifully while grabbing her Master's arm.
”Fine. Since you did such a wonderful job at showing me something fun.”
”Thank you master!” She hugs him closer before letting go.
As they're walking Seras stops and looks up at the moon and feels so free and powerful underneath it.
Alucard sees thinks and smirks at what she is feeling as he can feel it from her.
”All vampires feel this way underneath the moon Police Girl. You'll especially love it when the moon is full.”
”Really? I never knew about that.”
”Yes, it's often like when a human is underneath the suns rays and they feel joy and happiness. Vampires feel even more when they're under the moon. It causes them excitement, in more ways than one.” He smirks while also looking at the moon.
”Is that why I feel drunk, the excitement of what happened?”
”Yes, it was the same when I made my first kill as a vampire.”
”What was that like Master?” She snuggles close to him as he begins to tell his story.
Alucard takes a long pause before he pats her head and speaks.
”I was once a Prince Of Wallachia as you already know. I have been through many terrible things even before I turned 12, some done to me and some I did to others.” He sighs sadly.
”After I reclaimed my homeland I went to war and defeated many foes while fighting for my faith. Yes, I believed in god and I believed that he was helping me through those troubling times.”
”Anyway, after years of conquest after conquest, I was finally defeated. The way I was treated after my defeat can't be compared to how I was when I was a child, but I felt more pain as I thought god abandoned me.” He grows angry as the air twists around him.
”After I turned into a vampire, the very first thing I did was to slaughter the people who have just beheaded my body seconds prior to my transformation. I tortured and maimed their bodies before impaling them on whatever I could find around me. Spears, swords, and even tree branches. In that moment I truly felt free from all of my troubles, everything that held me back as a human no longer mattered.” His anger slowly dissipated as he told of his first kills.
The conversation stopped there as they both walk again toward the command center.
After about ten minutes of waiting, Integra sees both Alucard and Seras walk back. She is surprised since it didn't take long at all. As she is about to go and greet them, she sees that Seras' uniform is covered in a massive amount of blood and what she thinks is a piece of brain matter. As they're walking by, the soldiers divide like the Red Sea avoiding them both.
”Seras, how did it go? Are the targets silenced?”
”Yes sir!” Seras smilingly says while giving the typical salute.
”Anything worth mentioning?” Integra asks again.
”Hmmmmmm. The only thing is that they were incredibly weak. I mean they couldn't heal and weren't that strong. Frankly sir, they were just fast ghouls.” Seras speaks after thinking for a while.
”Really? They didn't regenerate, at all?”
”Nope! I mean I put a hole in the woman's stomach and all that happened is that she screamed about it. Even when I ripped their limbs off, it didn't heal at all.” Seras explains.
”You put a hole in the woman and then ripped their limbs off?” Integra tries to clarify.
”Yep! Master said he enjoyed every second of it, right?” She says as she turns to Alucard.
”Yes, it was very enjoyable Seras.” Alucard confirms.
”Then, what was the box for?” Walter asks in place of Integra, because she is currently speechless.
”Just a little role playing as a delivery woman. Had to get one of them to the door before I began, this was the first thing that came to mind.”
After a minute of Integra just standing there, Seras starts to get worried.
”Sir? Are you ok?”
”Oh....yes! I'm fine, good work Seras! Ok everyone, we're done here. Let's get going!” Integra yells to everybody.
After a few minutes, Walter and Integra get on the helicopter that Seras and Alucard are on.
As the helicopter starts to take off, Integra looks at Seras who is looking out of the window in wonderment.
'Even after doing what she did, she still acts like a kid? How strange.'
[There is nothing strange about it Master.]
[What do you mean, Alucard?]
[Well, from a young age the police girl has been dealing with the death of her parents, the abuse from all the families that adopted her and even the **** that almost happened as a result of that. By the time she could enjoy it, she was too old to even try, so she had to get a job to sustain her livelihood. She can't act like a child in the police force, so her inner child was still suppressed even then. Now that she is in safe place with people around her like Walter, you, and I. I think she is just showing a little bit of what she truly feels.]
[You're saying that she feels more safe around us, than other humans? Why do you think this?]
[Every day, while she is asleep, I look into her dreams and all I see is what I've told you. Lately there have been different ones, that I think she wouldn't like me to say, so I'm not going to.]
[Thank you for telling me this Alucard. I wouldn't have done something I would regret if you hadn't.]
[That is precisely why I told you. She doesn't need to be bound, just understood a bit better.]
[You sound almost like a father, Vampire.]
[She acts like a child round me, so I guess I got pushed into the role.]
After he says that, both Integra and him start chuckling loudly.
”What's so funny? Come on, tell me. Please?” Seras says like she is begging. after, they just continue to chuckle to each other.
