Seras
blushed as she saw that the first three buttons of Integra’s clothing had been
removed. Thus revealing the slightest
bit of cleavage not many people, including Seras, had ever had the privilege of
seeing. Integra seemed to notice this
and crossed her arms angrily.
“Well, at
least you’re not a complete idiot and restrained me, but I see you’ve left your
weapon out for the world to see, AND grab,” Integra snapped.
her own clothing but it couldn’t be helped, there wasn’t time.
Seras,
being a bit confused as to why she would feel embarrassed about another woman’s
anatomy, simply stared at the floor.
Since becoming a vampire, she noticed that all humans looked quite
attractive to her, simply for the fact that warm blood was beneath the skin,
and the more skin exposed the more lustful.
Vampires
were creatures driven by lust, be it bloodlust or something more physical.
for both parties, she had noticed, but never planned on engaging herself.
coupled with the fact that she had never expected seeing Integra in this state
brought the embarrassment on. At that
moment something shifted outside the door and a slight tingle touched her mind.
“Sir, my
master is here,” Seras whispered staring at the wall next to the front
door. Integra followed her eyes to the
same spot.
“Hmm, Miss
Hellsing, I guess hiding myself from you won’t be as easy with your little
watchdog around,” came a deep voice from the shadow. His telepathic drone began to tickle the edges of Seras’s mind as
Alucard spoke with her commander.
“Enough
Alucard, report,” Integra said in a bored tone, crossing her arms tighter.
servant to see her in such a state of undress and mussed up with another
person, even though she was more than sure he had seen her in every state of
undress possible, sneaky prick. He
slipped easily through the wall and sat gracefully in the armchair to far side
of her, with that huge, ungainly feral grin spread across his face.
“I see
you’ve made yourself comfortable, leave it Seras to help you let your hair
down, so to say,” he taunted, her face was again the signature brick wall and
she uncrossed her arms to lean forward, forgetting herself for a moment in
anger.
“Yes, well,
are you going to continue this useless play on words or report to your master
as commanded?” she whispered, rage tickling the surface of her face.
last straw. If shooting him would make
a difference and not wake the neighbourhood, she would have already put her
weapon to use, she worked hard to not show any emotion, he enjoyed that.
now?’ she thought to herself. He
laughed deeply.
“How could
I refuse a request from such a lovely lady showing so much of herself to
me?” He asked and her eyes narrowed but
she sat stock still, not backing down.
He leaned forward and smirked.
“The order cannot be completed, many of the pawns set to sail the moment
they learned of your escape, master,” he replied.
Integra
closed her eyes and sat back, then let out a heavy sigh.
times in the past her noble forefathers had to make such arrangements to keep
the organization stable and ensure the family’s safety.
Alucard, who was now staring at her longingly, she deposited her cigar and
crossed her arms again.
Alucard sat
back and pulled a cell phone from his overcoat then slid it across the coffee
table at her; she reached out instantly and caught it.
“Walter
will contact you. He is arranging a
‘bargain’ of sorts as we speak,” Alucard said then looked to Seras, who had
been sitting quietly the whole time with a hand drawn up at her chest.
knew something was going on between them by the look on Seras’s face,
apparently the games he played didn’t end at Integra. He reached out slowly and picked up Sera’s weapon, then stood and
handed it to her, stretching in an inhuman fashion, then turned to Integra once
more.
“I’m sorry
to leave such beautiful company so soon, I have pressing matters at the moment
and I’m sure you both will understand,” he cooed with his signature grin, and
then tipped his glasses down his nose a bit to look into Integra’s eyes.
“Yes,
please do what you can Alucard and report back to me at least once a day,
though I’m sure you’ll frequent my haunts more than I know,” she replied,
smiling slightly, he nodded in return and slipped back through the wall.

“I’m sure
his taunts were about drawing blood weren’t they? I cannot keep you from leaving to feed, nor would I.
flatly and placed the cell phone back onto the table. Seras almost looked hurt.
“Sir, I
can’t do that, I can’t kill someone,” Seras whispered.
speaking with an obstinate child.
“Seras,
come to terms with what you are. You
must feed to remain strong. I need you
strong and not weak with bloodlust, always fearing you may take it out on
me. I don’t need the added stress and
neither do you. We won’t be returning
to the estate in the near future and you have to look at this with reason,”
Integra said in the calmest voice she could conjure.
“If I have
to, I will command you to feed,” she finished with an icy stare into Seras’s
eyes. Seras shivered and turned her
head. Certainly this fledgling wouldn’t
defy her. Integra wished at that moment
she had told Alucard to deal with the girl.Damn the way he put her off guard at times.
“I’m sorry
Sir, but I can’t…” Seras said with a wavering voice. She had tried on occasion, with an odd drunk here or there, but
couldn’t follow through. She knew that
not taking the life would mean the bitten individual would become a ghoul, and
killing was against everything in her nature, even with the added nature of the
undead. Both prospects where
unacceptable.
Integra
studied her for a bit then stood and walked to the bedroom.
Seras’s cheeks. She shouldn’t be
crying, she needed to save every drop of moisture in her but she found she
couldn’t control it. Alucard had
assaulted her thoughts with so many scenarios and questions the whole time he
spoke with her commander, yet she didn’t answer him even in her mind.
‘My,
doesn’t she look delicious tonight…’
‘I’m
assuming you two have had fun from the looks of her...
‘You
look famished, if you don’t feed soon, who knows what might happen...’
‘You
should feed, police girl, then you can be severed from my dark intentions
forever…’
It seemed
he would never stop. Then at the last
second he handed her the weapon and told her to protect the master well.

and wiped the tears away. Maybe
sometime she would turn that on him, turnabout is fair play after all.
Seras
strained to listen and picked up on Integra’s sleeping breaths.
instantly. She made her way back to the
laundry room and folded what was in the dryer then checked the hanging items
for dampness. She turned a small wall
heater on so the clothing would be dry by morning.
With a sigh
she stretched back out on the couch and flipped the small TV on with a remote,
leaving the volume low so not to bother Integra. As dawn peeked through the blinds she put her weapon on her chest
and covered her head with a large pillow.
A deep, vampiric sleep soon took her even through the noise and dancing
light of the television.

Integra
woke to a ray of light peeking through the blinds. She quickly sat up and grabbed for her glasses.
nightstand. As she fumbled around the
small table she began to wonder if she had fell asleep in them, as she
sometimes did, wary of what might be just out of her poor sight when she
awoke.
Her vision
was getting worse as the years passed, and now she couldn’t make her hand out
in front of her face, just a flesh tone blur.
Damn it all. She felt around the
bedding for a bit then sighed as her search turned up nothing.
and tried to adjust to the blurred surroundings.
She reached
for the dark spot on the nightstand and found her pistol.
be at least nine o’clock if not later therefore the girl had to be resting
somewhere. Keeping one hand to the wall
she made her way silently out into the living room. She tried hard to focus on the couch.
Yes, there
she was, an oblong discoloured blur.
She didn’t clear the room as she normally would, knowing that it would
be fruitless anyway and walked toward the brown of the couch housing the oblong
blur she hoped would be Seras. Gripping
her pistol tightly she grabbed the back of an armchair and leaned toward the
sleeping figure, she could slightly make out a pillow-like shape covering what
she hoped to be the girl’s head.
“Sergeant,
wake up, I need your assistance,” she barked in an authoritarian voice.
She almost found herself worried for a moment about the lack of movement
then realized the girl was already dead and held back laughter at herself.
her hand caught something not so firm.
“Jesus in heaven, this is ridiculous,…” she breathed as she slid her
hand up to what she hoped was a shoulder and shook firmly.
Seras’s
eyes shot open at the moment she felt a hand at her breast.
her first thought. Then she heard a
very familiar voice saying something quite alarming. What was Integra doing?
Goose flesh began to pepper across her body. If her heart beat, iuld uld have sped up.
The hand
slid firmly up to her shoulder and shook her out of the stupor Integra’s
strange behaviour had put her in. She
instinctively grabbed Integra’s wrist.
Seras could hear her commanders surprised gasp and sensed a lingering
fear all around her, something must be wrong.
“Get up
idiot, and stop playing games,” Integra hissed as she jerked her hand
away. Seras sat up instantly and
observed her commander. She was a bit
dishevelled and lacking her glasses.
Her hair looked like it had been slept on wet. The overall effect made her question if this was even her
commander, who usually never had a hair out of place or wore anything remotely
colourful, and was never usually seen without her glasses.
“Is
something wrong?” Seras said breathlessly, this was the strangest wake-up call
she’d ever encountered, even over her master materializing from the ceiling
above. Everything seemed strange and
out of place, as if she’d stepped through the looking glass.
“Yes,
something is very wrong, I t fit find my glasses. Go get them,” Integra ordered in a gruff tone.
couldn’t see. However she was wrong.
“Do you
find my weakness amusing?” Integra said in a low voice characteristic of her
impending rage. Seras wiped the grin
off immediately and shook her head.
“No… no
Sir, I’m just relieved it isn’t something worse I guess,” Seras replied
sheepishly. This seemed to appease her
commander and her anger lessened a bit.
“Well, when
you’ve finished being relieved, kindly go and retrieve my glasses,” Integra
snapped. Seras swallowed hard and
walked into the bedroom, the clock on the nightstand told her it was nearly
ten. She was still very weary; moving
about in the day was becoming increasingly hard for her.
floor were the glasses. Seras snatched
them up and made her weary way back to the living room.
“Here you
are Sir, I’m sorry, but I think I’ll take the bedroom now if you don’t mind,”
she yawned as she handed the glasses to Integra who quickly grabbed them and
placed them on her face. She looked at
Seras for a bit and nodded. The weary
vampire started to walk towards the empty bed then turned back.
I’d let you know before you came looking for me,” Seras stated in the same
sleepy voice. Integra was busying
herself with finding and lighting a cigar.
“Yes, yes,
I won’t have need of you unless we’re attacked. I’m sure that won’t be happening with Alucard in the area, you’re
dismissed,” Integra replied with a wave and sigh. Seras felt angry, being dismissed in her own home seemed wrong
but she decided to hold back a comment and set herself up for much needed rest.

Resting her head on the pillow she began to drift.
And drift

Then her
dreams turned to Alucard, naked and passionate. Feeding from him as he was feeding from her.

master was using and manipulating her, but somehow she didn’t care.
In her

imagine it. Then her master was

with a foreboding smile on her face.
“You will
feed, I will command you if I must.” she demanded as the hellish demon form of
Alucard loomed, ever laughing, a thousand red eyes laughing at her.
“You
could be severed from my dark intentions forever…”
Her
master’s words began to echo through her mind.
She was shaking. Her eyes shot
open. As if still gripped by her dream
a dark form was looming over her in the shadow, almost nose-to-nose she could
feel warm breath.
“Wake up
girl!”

A/N: I have to warn
that 'character interludes' are what I'm all about, I'm sorry, the plot is
moving forward I promise. I have chapters waiting on proofreading but I
will meticulously nit-pick every sentence. I tend to enjoy a review based
on my plot and not my bad grammar. I
(hopefully) will remedy that on my end.
As a warning, this is going to be a naughty fic. Yes, I'm so
attracted to the kindly Sir I can't see straight (no pun intended) but I will
do my damnedest to keep the players IC and not tasteless.
