40 Chapter 40 - Choices (1/2)
Right after the first soldier stepped back, the other one pointed his gun at the figures. He gives a serious look and goes to speak when he is yanked by his ankle up into the air.
”W-What is this?” The soldier asks while dangling upside down.
”It's not nice to point a gun at a lady.” The hooded figure states.
The soldier notices a black tendril that is coming out of her shadow. It extends to behind the soldier and he assumes that's what's holding him.
After the taller figure speaks, the shorter one extends her hand and the soldiers gets dropped onto the ground.
”We didn't come here to fight.” A young voice sounds out but the tone implies an old age.
”Speaking of why we came, Are you sure about this? It seems very far fetched.”
”I'm sure, although I do understand your skepticism.”
”Fair enough, but I guess the rumors are true.”
”Rumors?” The other tall one asks speaking out for the first time.
”Yes, Alucard is a very strong vampire that works for the hellsing family.”
”Hmph! Just a slave to humans. How strong could he be.” She says with clear disdain.
”Enough! I don't wish for your comments to anger them.”
”They can't hear me, they probably don't even know we're here.”
”I wouldn't be so sure about that.” Another voice interrupts them and they turn to its origin.
Seras is leaning against one of the columns that holds up the gate leading to the grounds of the manor. She is holding Basky in her arms while smiling at them.
”Welcome to hellsing ladies. How may I be of service to you?” Seras makes a bow but it shows clearly that she is mocking them.
”A mere fledgling dares to act arrogantly in front of me!?” The lady who used hypnosis on the guard runs up to seras and goes to punch her in the face.
'Wow! That's really fast.' Seras thinks to herself as she tilts her head to the left barely dodging the fist.
'Didn't think true vampires would be so strong.' She feels slight pain on her cheek and a cold liquid rolling down it.
The wound heals almost instantly and seras licks the blood that came out of it. She then takes her left hand and punches the woman's stomach which makes her stagger backwards while a groan leaks out.
”That wasn't a very nice welcome. Even after I was so courteous.” She states as Basky hops out of her hold and starts to growl at the trio in front.
”I've come to accept the deal, seras.” The child states and takes off the hood.
”Helena! I was getting worried that you might not co-.” Seras smiles in delight and goes to hug her when she is stopped by someone getting in her way.
”Don't get too close.” The figure says.
”Oh, well let me get permission before letting you guys come in. I don't wish for Sir Integra to get mad.” Seras Steps back and starts phasing into the ground while saying this.
After she left, the arrogant tall one grunts in annoyance.
”Asking a human to allow us entry. These vampires really have no pride.”
After seras left, she reappears inside the hallway in front of Integra's office. She then knocks and Integra immediately allows her inside.
”What do you want seras? I'm very busy.” She doesn't look up.
”Well, I need permission for something.”
”Permission? For what?”
”Uh...how to say, there are three vampires outside and they wish to come in.”
”What!?” She stands up and slams her desk while yelling.
”They're good vampires....well at least one of them is. I kind of told her I would do something for her and she has accepted my offer.”
”Seras....I don't even know where to begin with this. We can't let them inside.”
”Please...they've been very patient so far-”
”What did you offer them?”
”If I tell you will you allow them in?”
”I could just get Alucard to make you tell me.”
”You could, But You wouldn't do that. I believe in you.”
”....fine. If you answer me I'll let them inside and you can finish your business with them.”
”Thanks!” Seras hugs Integra Who wasn't ready for it and pushes her away soon after.
”Answer the question and don't do that again.”
”Ok. Well you know how I can teleport?”
”Yeah?”
”I can teleport to other universes.”
”.....what?” She gives a dumb look and asks after a solid 5 seconds.
”I can teleport to other universes.”
”I heard you! I meant what does that even mean!?” She slams the desk in frustration.
”Oh, do you know about parallel universes?”
”Vaguely.”
”Well there are an infinite number of universes and each of them differ than the others. Some only slightly and others have major differences.”
”Go on.”
”For instance, there is a universe with no Christianity and there is a universe where there is only Catholicism.”
”That second one sounds like hell to me.”
”I guess, anyway, my deal is that I will send them to a difference universe so they can enjoy themselves there.”
”What do you get out of this?”
”Well, Nothing really. It's just that when I met one of them she seemed very bored. Like nothing in this world interest her anymore. So I had an idea.”
”That you'd send them to a different one?”
”Yep.”
”.....my god. Of all the ridiculous things you could have said....” she slumps into her chair in defeat.
”So....”
”Yes! Fine, you can bring them in. But only into the lounge on the first floor. Nowhere else.”
”Thank you Sir Integra!” Seras States and phases away soon after.
Integra shakes her head to get rid of the distracting thoughts when she calls Walter.
”Sir?” He answers.
”Walter, I wish for you to bring a few blood packs along with seras' to the first floor lounge. She will be entertaining some.....guests.” She says the last word with a little spite which confuses the elderly man.
”.....Of course. I will get right on it. Anything else sir?”
”Yes. Come to my office afterwards. I wish to know about any leads to find out who attacked us and any solution to our employment situation.”
”Yes sir. I'll be up in 5 minutes.” Walter hangs up after saying so.
Integra leans back into her chair and sighs in relief that Walter didn't ask any questions.
