Incendite tenebras mundi
3:Incendite tenebras mundi
Two weeks after the Valentine brothers.
Slowly but surely Hellsing built itself back up from the damage it had sustained from the attack. Alucard watched as Integra buried herself with the details of rebuilding the organization, hiring mercenaries to replace the men that had died. The deaths of over half of her soldiers had been a personal blow to her. Once the new troops had settled in, she summoned him to her office.
He lounged in the chair that was in front of Integra’s desk, watching her in silence as she lit up her third cigar in less than an hour. Finally he spoke, drawing her out of her private contemplation.
“How are the new recruits measuring up?” he asked, not really interested, but it would give her something to take her mind off of recent events.
She put her cigar down, shaking her head slightly to clear her mind. “They’re an unorganized bunch, and it didn’t help that you had to spook the lot of them.” A ghost of a smile curled her lips for a brief moment, but then it was gone as her eyes glazed over in thought.
After another period of silence, Alucard spoke again.
“It’s not your fault, you know.”
“Isn’t it?” she asked with a mirthless chuckle. “Those freaks came into my home, killed my men and turned them into ghouls.” she closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair. “I was powerless to stop them.”
“You cannot be held responsible for their deaths, my Master,” he replied.
“Many of those men had faithfully served Hellsing for years,” she snapped, “They were my responsibility!”
“They were soldier,” he stated simply. “Soldiers die in war. They all knew this when they signed up. Many more of them will die before all this is over with. The question is, my Master, can you handle sending more men to die?”
She stared at him, as several emotions fought for dominance on her face. Finally with a sigh she reached for her lit cigar. She took several drags from it before speaking again, this time her tone soft, and weary. “You aren’t telling me anything I don’t already know, Alucard. But all that death was needless..”
“I take responsibility for that,” he stated with a casual shrug. “I honestly thought Walter and the police girl would have been able to deal with things on their own.”
“Speaking of the police girl,” Integra said, clearly changing the topic to something other than herself, as she set her cigar down on the overflowing ashtray “Walter has told me she was able to hold her own, for the most part, during the attack. But one thing did worry him...”
“Yes?” he asked, his interest piqued. His little fledgling had taken the deaths of the soldiers quite badly and had been doing everything in her power to avoid him. She had even erected mental shields in attempt to keep her thoughts hidden from him. He let her have her privacy to mourn. She was still young, he expected it would take time for her to realize that the human life-span was nothing compared to one of a true midian. She would just have to learn on her own. At any rate, if Seras had done something to worry Walter, then he should pay attention.
“It seems, during the attack, several ghouls had overwhelmed Seras, then suddenly, she was decimating them, left and right,” she paused watching Alucard intently. “He said that she had become a killing machine, in fact, for a moment he was concerned that he might have to take her down.”
“Really?” Alucard asked, as his smirk returned. So, the police girl had succumbed to blood lust again? “What stopped him from doing just that?”
“He called out her name, and that knocked her out of the spell.” She tilted her head and cocked an eyebrow at him. “Is this something I should be concerned about, Alucard?”
Alucard chuckled, “No, my Master. Remember, she is a vampire. She just got lost in the moment.” His smirk widened, “If you like, I could speak with her. Remind her not to get so ‘enthusiastic’ during battle?”
“Don’t give me that Alucard,” she began warningly “I know she hasn’t been drinking the blood Walter sets out for her. Last thing we need is for her to starve herself and go feral. I don’t want this to become a problem. She’s a sweet child, but I will bind her if she can’t control herself.”
Alucard’s smirk turned nasty. “Oh we wouldn’t want that now, would we?”
“Alucard..”
“Fine, I will take care of it, Master,” He stood, his face a mask of boredom. “Is there anything else you want me to do?”
Integra let out a snarl of frustration and grounded out her cigar. “That’s all for now, Servant,” she stated curtly, rubbing her temples. She was exhausted both mentally and physically, so Alucard decided to leave it at that, exiting her office without further incident.
As he made his way down to find Seras, he couldn’t stop the grin that returned to his face. Until that point everyone had thought Seras was as harmless and innocent as a pet kitten. Alucard chuckled. Now both Walter and Integra knew first hand that the “kitten” had claws and teeth and was perfectly capable of using them.
AN: Okay, here's where the fic goes into AU territory. Basically from here on out I will be taking this baby out of the Helling's manga and anime worlds into my own little universe. I will still use character through out both series that I like but not in the way they are in the anime or manga. I will try and keep the character mostly cannon, but don't flame me too much if they get a little OOC. Don't worry, I won't be having Alucard spouting his love for Seras or have her be instantly in love with him or anything like that. Oh and thanks Thess for betaing this for me (Integra is so hard to write :P ).
