Moonlight Seductions

Chapter Sixteen

A dark shadowy figure stared from the rooftop of the clinic as the woman's blood continued to

pour from her right leg. "If not for that leg...you very well may have destroyed all of

my precious ghouls" he harshly growled as he stepped to the edge and saw that his ghoul's were

almost upon her. "Stop!" he hissed the command as he jumped off the roof and glided to the

ground. Slowly walking through the wet grass he finally heard his heavy footsteps as they

clicked against the cobblestones. Walking past the ghouls that surrounded her, the vampire

dropped his gaze and stared at the dark red puddle. Kneeling down he slid his hands into the

hot blood and slowly licked his lips with his long tongue. Leaning down he greedily lapped his

tongue through the crimson pool. Hearing a faint wet sound, Seras slitted open her heavy lidded

eyes and suddenly heard a deep moan coming from behind her. Quickly snapping open her eyes she

whipped her head to the left and stared up at the ghouls standing so close to her. Hearing

another moan she slowly glanced over her shoulder and saw a male vampire licking through her

blood. "So...this is the vampire that controls them" she thought in sudden panic as she lowered

her outstretched arm to her side and blindly searched the road for her dagger. "Can I really

defeat...a master vampire" she thought frantically as she finally touched the sharp blade and

slid her hand down to tightly grip the hilt. Moaning deeply as the sweet taste of her blood

slid down his throat the vampire snapped open his eyes at what her blood revealed to him,

"You're the fledgling...of the No Life King!" he angrily hissed as he roughly flipped her onto

her back and stared into her sleeping face. "Why has your master not yet given you...your

freedom?" he sneered down at her as his fangs extended and slid down to rest in the corners of

his mouth. Dropping his gaze down to her large breasts straining against her pale yellow shirt

a lustful sneer suddenly fell over his face, "Mmm...I wouldn't release you either...but alas

every vampire must walk alone...and that cruel bastard will be no different" he snarled as he

leaned down to her throat. Grinning evilly against her soft flesh his sharp fangs nicked her

skin. Growling deep in his throat he prepared to deepened his bite when sudden agonizing pain

ripped through him. Feeling hot blood rushing up his throat and spilling wetly from the corners

of his shocked lips he stared down at his stomach and saw a feminine hand wrapped around a

slender golden hilt. As his blood ran down his chin Seras stared into his shocked face and

viciously twisted the blade even more deeply inside his guts as she forcefully brought the

blade straight up. Screaming in agony and rage he reached up and threw her hand away from the

hilt as he quickly ripped the blade out of his chest. "You fucking bitch!" he gasped painfully

as he dropped the blade and glanced over his shoulder. As he opened his mouth to give his

ghouls an order, Seras cruelly wrapped her fist around his long hair and roughly jerked his

head back until he was staring up at the dark sky. His vision was suddenly filled with glowing

red eyes and a demented grin, "You didn't really believe...that I would allow you to give that

order...now did you?" she whispered softly as she quickly leaned down and viciously sank her

fangs into his vulnerable throat. He writhed in agony as she greedily gulped the hot blood that

poured from the gaping wound. Feeling strength slowly returning to her she sank her fangs even

more deeply into his throat and felt his whole body jerk as if electrified. Suddenly

remembering her injured leg the vampire quickly lifted his booted foot and cruelly kicked her

leg so hard that the bone snapped instantly. Screaming in pure agony against his throat, Seras

ripped her fangs out of him and slumped heavily back onto the road. Panting rapidly she curled

into herself as she felt her eyes rolling back in her head as the blinding pain whipped through

her entire body. Raising his hands to suppress the blood flowing from his throat and stomach he

quickly turned to a ghoul standing close by and brutally tore open its throat. Staring as the

vampire's wounds stitched themselves back together, Seras glanced to his side and watched as

the dried up husk of the ghoul slowly fell to the cobbled road. "You didn't really think that

a pathetic fledgling like you...could possibly defeat me...did you?" he sneered as dark red

blood dripped from his mouth and splashed wetly against the stone road. As he slowly walked

towards her she quickly slid her hand through the blood that covered the road and frantically

reached for the silver dagger in front of her. Gasping in pain as she used her legs to push her

forward she finally grasped the hilt of the blade, when she suddenly screamed out in agony as

his black boot stomped her delicate hand deep into the hard stone. Screaming hoarsely as he

slowly ground his heel into her crushed fingers she heard his evil laughter. "I am going to

kill you...nice and slow" he whispered in an evil voice as he lifted his foot and reached down

for the blade. Weakly sliding her arm away she cradled her broken hand to her chest and gritted

her teeth as hot blood dripped from her eyes. Leaning over her he wrapped a cruel hand around

her hair and dragged her down the road towards the village church. Gritting her teeth against

the burning pain in her scalp she groaned as the sharp and jagged cobblestones ripped into her

injured leg. Glancing down at her he laughed with malice as he stared at her blood stained

face, "Your suffering is like music to my ears, my sweet...lets see just how much...I can make

you sing" he softly whispered as he brutally dragged her up the stone steps and roughly threw

her into the darkness of the church. As her back slammed against a wooden pew she tried to

stand but her broken leg swiftly crumpled beneath her. Closing her eyes tightly against the

throbbing pain ripping through her right leg she snapped open her eyes as she heard his heavy

footsteps against the wooden floor. "How can I defeat him...if I cannot even stand" she

thought fearfully as she stared into his evil eyes. "I am going to enjoy making you

scream...for your master" he snarled coldly as he raised the blood stained blade and slowly

walked towards her...

Pulling a small silver flashlight out of his pocket, Walter clicked it on and slowly walked

towards the gate. "Something had to have happened to those two soldiers...they would have never

left their posts otherwise" he softly whispered as he reached the gate and slowly shined the

bright light across the black iron. Seeing something glistening on the thin bars, he suddenly

gasped as he leaned closer and stared at the dark red blood that was splattered across the

front of the gate. Slowly raising his hand he slid one finger through the blood coated bar to

reveal that a long deep cut had marred the black paint. "My god...could it be?" he roughly

whispered as he slowly lowered the light until he saw dark blood clinging to the short blades

of grass at his feet. Following the blood trial he walked across the road and entered into the

dark forest. He continued to follow the blood until the trial suddenly ended at the base of a

tree. Staring down at the huge puddle of blood he slowly raised his flashlight up into the

leaves. "Oh my god!" he raggedly whispered as his eyes flared in shock as he saw that the

missing soldiers bodies were draped over a thick branch with their throats slashed so deeply

that they were almost beheaded. Watching as the blood dripped from their necks and wetly

splashed into the puddle covering the forest floor, Walter quickly spun around and raced back

towards Hellsing. "This proves it...he has arrived!" he frantically whispered, "But why would

he kill two guards?" he hoarsely whispered as he made his way out of the woods. "Unless of

course that he was seen by them...so, this was his way of dealing with the problem" he thought

furiously as he finally reached the road. "But why didn't he attack Alucard?" he fiercely

wondered as his footsteps clicked against the pavement. Suddenly he stopped moving and turned

his head to stare down the road that led towards Briar Village. "Or was he merely biding his

time...until Alucard was out on a mission?" he quietly whispered as he turned his head and

quickly walked across the road towards Hellsing...

As his boots clicked heavily against the road, Alucard suddenly felt as if someone was

following him. Quickly whipping around he stared into the dark shadows of the surrounding

woods. Snarling in rage he slid his hand down to his holster and tightly gripped the cold metal

handle of his Jackal. Pulling his gun free he aimed into the dark forest and slowly searched

the shadows, seeing nothing he relaxed his fierce grip and dropped his arm. "I must be

imagining things" he said quietly as he turned around and stared at the bright beam of

moonlight shining down onto the small village in the distance. "Briar Village" he growled as he

felt his blood lust spike aggressively. His red eyes gleamed with eager anticipation as he

tightened his grip around the silver handle once more. Gritting his teeth against the violent

need for bloodshed coursing through his veins he closed his eyes as Seras's gentle voice

suddenly whipped through his mind, "I will be with you tonight...my master" she had softly

whispered. "Seras" he breathed as he relaxed his grip on the handle and sighed. A loud scream

suddenly pierced the silence of the night as he snapped open his eyes and glared towards the

dark village. Snarling angrily he ripped the gun free and quickly flashed himself to the

village. His black boots splashed wetly into a large puddle of blood as he aimed his gun at the

unmoving ghouls standing in the middle of the road. When they failed to make a move towards him

he slowly lowered his arm, "They have been ordered by their master...not to attack...but why?"

he growled fiercely as he suddenly bowed his head and stared into the crimson puddle at his

feet. Holstering his gun he slowly bent down and ran his bare finger through the warm liquid,

as the blood coated the tip of his finger he raised his hand to his mouth. "Seras!" he raggedly

breathed as the unmistakable flavor of her blood sank into his taste buds. "Why...why would you

come here?" he harshly breathed as his heart raced in fear at the amount of blood that pooled

around his black boots. Quickly lifting his gaze he followed the blood trial that splattered

down the narrow road towards the church. "Alucard...are you here...in the village? I can...feel

you...close by" she suddenly whispered into his mind with a voice so weak that he barely heard

her. "Yes, I am here Seras...how badly are you injured?" he softly whispered to her as he

tightly clenched his fists as his eyes filled with blood. "I have lost...a lot of blood" she

weakly whispered as he angrily wiped the tears that fell from his eyes away with the back of his

gloved hand. Hearing his name echo eerily in the blood curdling scream that suddenly ripped

through the night, he quickly flashed himself inside the church. "Seras!" he shouted fearfully

into her mind as his gaze followed the bloody trial that led down towards the basement.

"Alucard...I tried...to kill him" she weakly panted into his mind as he felt her slowly fading

away from him. "No! Seras stay with me!" he hoarsely whispered to her as he felt more tears of

blood running down his face. Raising his right hand to wipe them away he suddenly saw that his

nails had lengthened into razor sharp talons as he ran towards the basement door. A deep male

voice suddenly rose from the floor under his feet. "I bet your master would not think you so

beautiful...without those lovely eyes of yours" the voice taunted cruelly. Alucard snarled in

murderous rage as his long black hair lengthened till it touched the floor, "He will not have a

quick death!" he snarled in a deep and evil voice. Quickly flashing himself down into the

darkness his furious red eyes suddenly widened in horror at what he saw...
