38 Chapter 38 - Kidnapping (1/2)
it only took a half a day for the Mansion to have been thoroughly cleansed of any blood that has stained it. All of the funerals were held the day after the attack, planned and paid for by the organization. Most of the soldiers didn't have families, but some of them had wives and children that will be looked after by Hellsing. Anonymously, of course.
As it was a sunny day, seras and Alucard didn't attend the funerals. Not that either of them wanted to. After the last funeral was held at dusk, Integra locked herself in her bedroom and hasn't come out since.
Fortunately, there were no vampire attacks on that day. Some good news during this shit parade as Integra called it, is that a whole unit of 25 soldiers survived the attack because they were out on a mission.
That feeling didn't last however when Integra got a formal notice stating that the Queen has decided to use the force the other knight members have trained as a temporary stop gap until hellsing rebuilds itself. This made her even angrier as it makes it seem like she is incompetent.
After Integra went inside her bedroom on the night of the 4th, Seras woke up to see her master sitting on his throne like the situation upstairs is not happening. She smiles a little at the situation.
”What is making you so happy Police Girl?” He asks.
”Nothing, just observing how nonchalant you're being despite the situation with sir Integra.” She answers while holding Basky.
”Of course, human problems worry humans. Why should I be disturbed over their frivolities.”
”I can't imagine Sir Integra would be happy if she heard that.”
”She'll get over it. Give it a couple weeks and I'm sure she won't even remember anything about this.” He takes a sip of wine from a glass.
”Haha, I don't think that would be true.”
”Hmm?”
”Well, just give it a few days and I'm sure she won't ever forget about this.” Seras waves it off and proceeds to phase through her bed.
She reappears on the first floor at the main entrance where the most damage was done.
'They did a great job in cleaning the place, but that smell of bleach is just awful.' She pinches her nose in disgust.
”Seras, it's good that I caught you. I was just about to look for you.” A voice disrupts her and seras turns to see Walter walking to her.
”Walter, you look like you haven't slept in days.”
”That's because I haven't Ms. Victoria.” He answers curtly showing an embarrassed look.
”Oh. What were you looking me for?”
”Yes, It was about the information you've given about the attackers. I just wanted to make sure there was nothing besides the word 'Millennium'?”
”Well I didn't give him much time to talk, as His face was buried. The only time he could was when I was crushing his skull.”
”I see. So there is absolutely nothing else?”
”No, why?”
”it's just for the past 24 hours MI-5 and hellsing's information retrieval department have found absolutely nothing of interest about this word.”
”I see. There was nothing else, Sorry.” Seras apologizes before Walter walks away in a hurry.
Just as he is out of sight, the doors to the mansion open, at least what's left of them and a bunch of soldiers walk inside with depressed looks. They notice seras and give her angry glares like she was the one that killed their buddies.
'Though technically I did.' She smirks at the memory of slicing through the ghouls.
”What's so funny vampire?” One of the men ask with a shout.
”Oh nothing. Just thinking about my next mission, It's been boring.” Seras puts her hands behind her head and says with a smile.
This angers the group even more and they start to yell at her again. It begins to become irritating and seras' eyes go red.
”Shut up! I didn't turn them into ghouls! Would you have rathered I left them like that!?” She yells which silenced them.
”....but your kind did it.” A weak voice States from thevback of the group.
”What!?” She asks, this time even angrier.
”You heard me! Vampires killed our friends and turned them into ghouls!” The same voice yells back finding confidence.
”I can't believe you compared me to low class filth like those guys. Let me set this straight.” Seras walks forward knocking over the men in her way until she reaches the guy who spoke.
The man, who is actually a little shorter than seras cowers in fear at the sight. His legs actually starts to tremble when she gets a couple inches into his face.
”Those things, were mere low grade copies ofa vampire. I crushed the head of one of them with such ease it was like stepping on a bug. Now, will you tell me that they're the same as me?” Seras finds a bug on the ground and steps on it with what looks to be a light step, but causes cracks to form into the floor.
The man who is now crying shakes his head and falls backwards unconscious.
”Pathetic.” She states before walking away.
However, before she is fully gone, she stops and remembers something. Seras turns back around and walks up to the leader of the unit.
”Where is Arthur?”
”W-who?” The leader stutters.
”Arthur. About 6 feet tall, blonde hair, green eyes. Personality of a naive child?” Seras describes him as accurately as she could.
”Oh! Him.....shit.” The man thinks for a couple seconds before realizing who she was talking and pales soon after.
”What does that mean?” She gets closer to the man.
”He....uh..he came with us but after the mission, we couldn't find him.” He stutters.
”What!? What do you mean you couldn't find him!? Did you look for him?” She grabs the soldier by the neck and lifts him up.
”Ugh....” the man groans in pain while trying to speak.
”We did look for him but we still couldn't find him.” One of the unit members says with trepidation.
”What happened? Tell me everything.” She unconsciously uses hypnosis and the man's eyes go red while his expression slackens.
”We....” he describes their whole mission from beginning to end and seras finally lets the leader go.
The man who went limp five minutes before the member finished his story falls to the ground with a thud.
”So you went to the location and found no sign of any vampire?” She asks making sure she heard everything correctly.
”Yes. There wasn't any sign of struggle or anything to indicate a vampire was there.”
”I see. You're a bunch of idiots.” She says this and turns away.
[Master.]
[Hmm?] he answers in an annoyed way.
[I need permission to use my teleportation ability.]
[Why?]
[You won't like it.]
