39 Chapter 39 - Rescue and Guests (1/2)
Arthur is still in a state of disbelief with his situation and doesn't register the question the fat man is asking him.
'It's like I'm stuck inside a B-Rated movie with terrible actors. German accents, the insane looks and the child wearing a kids hitler uniform.' He almost laughs at the situation when the major notices he isn't listening.
”Dok, It seems our prisoner isn't cooperating.” He states childishly.
”Of course. One cooperation serum coming up.” The dok goes along with the running joke and picks up a needle with a greenish liquid inside it.
”I'll talk. I was just trying to understand the situation. It's not everyday I get kidnapped and interrogated while a boy with cat ears is laughing in the background.” Arthur states while not wanting whatever is in That needle.
”That's true, answer me or I will let dok have his way. And you don't want that.” The major gestures for the Doktor to stop and points to the wall full of organs.
Arthur finally shows traces of fear which delights the major greatly.
”There it is. The situation has finally settled into that thick skull of yours. I always love seeing the bravado of men crumble away into a teary eyed mess of begging. It's truly my favorite thing to witness.” The major insanely smiles which sends a shiver down Arthur's spine.
”....”
”Now, What can you tell me about seras Victoria? I'm very interested in her you see and I don't think I can wait any longer.” The major's face is flushed in excitement which makes Arthur cringe.
”What do you want to know?” He asks back.
”Let's get started....”
The major asks multiple questions which makes Arthur confused because most of them seemed very stupid. Like what her favorite color is, or her favorite hobby. Arthur didn't know most of them and answered the ones he did because they seemed useless.
It goes on for a couple hours and just when he is thinking it's done, the Major asks an important question which makes Arthur quiet.
”What is her weakness?”
”....”
”I know you heard me. You were being so cooperative before.”
”I don't know. If she had one, she hasn't shown it.”
”...I see. Then I believe you're useless to me now.” The major frowns in disappointment and dusts his jacket off making it no cleaner than it was before.
”What is going to happen now?” Arthur asks back.
”Now? Now it's time for the Dok's favorite hobby.” Major states succinctly while walking out the door.
”Hobby? What do you-”
”It's.....DISSECTION TIME!!” The dok yells in excitement as it's been a very long time since he can enjoy dissecting something just for fun.
Arthur is so scared that he forgets to scream because the tool The dok brought out looked like something even torturers wouldn't use.
”This is my favorite instrument. It allows me to cut you open with precision and it causes great pain in the process. It took me a very long time to make it.” He rubs the tool delicately like it's his child.
”....”
”Don't be like that. You don't know how long it's been since I've had a live dissection to play with. It's always been experimenting and work. So stressful.” The dok laments in his own monologue.
As he is speaking to himself seras appears behind Arthur in silence. She notices that she is inside the lab and smells death everywhere. It even makes her almost throw up in disgust.
She looks around and notices the body hanging on the wall wrapped up like a deformed mummy. She walks forward to it which escapes the notice of both Arthur and the dok.
'Mina Harker. What did master see in you that made him change you. I still don't know why he chose me....' She thinks to herself while rubbing the glass case.
She snaps out of her revelry and walks to Arthur who is tied up into a table with the Dok still monologuing. She lets out a sigh which makes them turn to her. Seras laughs a little when they both show the same shocked expression.
”Y-You..How did-”
”You should know better than to ask. I'll leave you to your experiments.” Seras puts a finger to her lips.
”....”
”It's been interesting, but I really have to take Arthur back with me. See you later, Dok.” Seras snaps the restraints with ease and picks Arthur up in a princess carry.
”Don't carry me like this. I can stand by myself.” Arthur squirms in embarrassment.
”No! This is the least you deserve for making me rescue you in the enemies headquarters.” Seras states before her body disappears from the Dok's eyes.
Soon after, the captain barges in destroying the door in the process before looking around for an enemy.
”She's already gone captain. It seems that she doesn't just have the ability to teleport.” The major says in a carefree way.
Hans Just grunts in reply before standing behind the major.
”Major I-”
”It's fine Doktor. This just makes the game more interesting.” The major waves him off before smiling.
Meanwhile seras reappeared back at hellsing manor with Arthur in her grasp. She then puts him on a bed inside the infirmary which makes him feel even more useless.
”Seras-”
”It's fine Arthur. Besides, I should be the one apologizing.”
”Apologizing? Why?” He asks when seras stretches out a finger and places it an inch in front of his face.
”What are you-”
”Shhh..... everything is fine.” Seras voice distorts in a sort of hypnotic whisper and arthur's eyes turn reddish-orange.
”Ev-everything....is f-fine.” Arthur struggles.
”Yes...everything is fine.”
”Everything is Fine.” He repeats back.
”You will forget everything that happened in the last 3 hours....”
”I will forget everything that happened in the last 3 hours....”
”You weren't kidnapped....”
”I wasn't kidnapped....”
”You were only knocked unconscious....”
”I was only knocked unconscious....”
As soon as Arthur repeats the last thing, he goes unconscious and begins to sleep on top of the bed. Seras then covers him with the blanket and phases through the ground soon after. She reappears inside Alucard's room with a smile that shows relief.
”How did it go Police Girl?”
”It went fine master, actually it was great.”
”Oh?”
”Yeah, I learned the hypnotic ability on accident when I questioned the soldiers earlier. I used it on Arthur when we returned.”
”I see. You're learning very quickly. Soon, you'll be ready.” He says the last statement with a seriousness seras hasn't seen on him since she arrived.
”Ready?”
”It doesn't concern you for now. Why did you hypnotize the boy?”
”Because he knew things nobody should know yet. I can't have the future changing more than it already has.”
”I see. But life is so much more interesting when you don't know what's going to happen next.”
”I know, but I think it's even better when you know what's going to happen and nobody else does.”
”I guess that too would be interesting.”
”You See?”
Arthur soon wakes up on the morning of the next day which is the 5th. He has a major headache and groans in pain.
'What happened? That dream was so weird.' He thinks to himself as he remembers split up images of a fat man wearing a Nazi symbol on his lapel, a creepy doctor holding medical instruments, and a laughing cat-boy in the background.
”Arthur, are you well?” A man asks by his side.
”Hmm Yeah, I don't know what happened. Last thing I remember is that we went inside that abandoned building and someone knocked me out.” He tells the man who was the leader of the unit.
