12 Chapter 12 - Badrick, Ireland (1/2)
A couple days after Seras' first mission, on the night of the 14th of August. Seras is in bed playing with Basky while Alucard is just sitting on his throne drinking wine.
”Master?”
”What is it Police Girl?”
”Are you drinking wine? I thought you said we couldn't eat human food?” She asks slightly peeved that he might have lied to her.
”Haha. Yes, I said we can't eat human food, but we could drink their drinks. After all, every drink is just the blood of something else.”
”What?”
”Well think about it. Wine is just the liquid version of grapes. So technically it's the blood of grapes. Orange juice as well and even water is the blood of ice. It's weird, but it's true.”
”Are you serious? So wait, can't I eat soup then?”
”No, unfortunately liquids such as those don't work. Believe me, in my centuries after death I have tasted every food and nothing works. Just drinks.”
”At least there is something. Wait! would I be able to get drunk!?” She says almost bored before asking with glee.
”Hahaha, yes you can get drunk, but it requires blood to do so. That's why I'm never drunk, I just drink wine when I'm relaxing.”
”Really? Can I have some?”
”No Police Girl. You won't have any until you drink blood.” He shoots down her request immediately which makes her droop her head down in defeat.
A few hours go by in silence until Seras speaks up again.
”Master, what do you do when you have no missions? I'm super bored.”
”Bored? What happened to your nightly visits to your very special lane?”
”I've been going there every night for the past month, there is nothing new in there that makes me want to go back. If the range was longer, I would just go back and reuse all of the weapons again, but extending it any longer is impossible.”
”What would you like to do?”
”That is mean master! You still haven't answered my question!”
”There is no answer to the question, I normally don't do anything.”
”You just sit here and drink? That sounds boring!”
”Again, what would you like to do? Who knows? If it is any fun, I might come along as well.”
”Quick question before I answer. Do we get paid at all? I mean like what happens if I want to buy something?”
”That is a good question Police Girl. I don't know, you have to ask Walter when you can.” Alucard says while holding his chin in thought.
”I'll ask him tomorrow, after we get back from the next mission!”
”Next mission?”
”Damn it!” Seras yells while covering her mouth from the slip up before continuing with a pleading tone.
”Master can you pretend you didn't hear that?”
”Would you be able to?”
”Well no. but if it was you, you would never tell me even if I begged right?”
”True, but that's because I'm the master here.” He smirks evilly while staring at her.
”I don't have a choice here, do I?”
”What do you think?”
”Fine, I'm going to be vague though.”
”By all means.” He gestures for her to continue as if he was a king.
'Acting like some kind of king. Well, I guess he was at one point. Wait, he still is isn't he. King of Vampires.' Seras complains before realization dawns on her.
”That I am Police Girl, that I am.” He chuckles slowly after reading her mind.
”Now tell me about tomorrow.” He continues immediately after his small laughter.
”Fine, something is going to happen in a building that's inside a different country. We will be sent there by sir Integra to deal with it. Unfortunately we aren't the only ones there and I get injured.”
”Is that it?” He asks dumbfounded at how vague the statement was.
”Yes.”
”You practically told me nothing.” He growls in anger about being deceived.
”I said I was going to be vague. Heck, I think I said too much.”
”Oh really?” he continues aggressively while staring down at her.
”Trust me. You'll find out tomorrow how much I actually told you.” She smiles mysteriously despite the fear she's feeling.
”I better, or else you'll find how cruel I can really be to people that lie and deceive me!” He huffs angrily before disappearing in his black tendrils.
'Wow, I really angered him. I guess it doesn't take much.' She thinks while laying back down in bed.
'Now What should I do about my other abilities? It's hard not thinking about them with master around but I need to have a plan for when I need to use them.'
'I don't want master to disappear for 30 years but I don't want to take away too much of the war. So I need to figure out the teleportation ability as fast as possible so I can use it when possible.'
Seras thinks for a while more before reaching a dead end and sighing to herself.
”Whatever, I'm going to the range again, come along Basky!” Seras speaks while jumping from the bed before talking to the hound.
”Roar!”
The next day around 3-4 O'Clock in the afternoon, Integra gets a report stating that in the town of Badrick, which is in Northern Ireland, is having a major ghoul infestation in an old estate. She immediately sends for Walter and tells him to go get Alucard and Seras.
As Walter is walking downstairs he hears Alucard's voice which has a sense of astonishment in it.
”So, Walter. Where am I and the Police girl going now?”
”Badrick, Ireland.” Walter replies as he gets to the door.
He opens the door to a shocked Alucard and a sleeping Seras. Walter sighs as he thinks to himself while cleaning up Seras' mess.
'Every night she makes less and less of a mess. I hope this doesn't mean that she is going to be like Alucard, doing nothing all day and night.'
”That wasn't very nice, Walter!” Alucard says.
”But its true isn't it, vampire?”
After he replies to Alucard he goes to the bed and starts to wake Seras up.
”Seras? We have a mission for you and Alucard. If you don't get up now, we might not let you go.” Walter sighs as he sees her waking up very unwillingly.
”Seriously? No wait just give me a couple minutes. I'll be done really quickly Walter!” Seras gets up immediately and then runs out of the room in haste while speaking quickly.
