Pleasure & Pain

Sorry it took me so long but this is just about the end. This will be the end of the \"action.\" But, I will have an epilouge to tie up the lose ends and maybe have some threesome smut. There\'s a little smut in this chapter.
Thanks to Dreadnot for editing this chapter.
*******************************************************

Seras was grateful that she had Pip’s mind inside her own for what she had to do. She and Pip both agreed that they had to find some type of weapon to weaken Alucard. Their strength just did not compare to her Master’s. If they didn’t weaken him first, he would wipe the floor up with them.

Pip still remembered some of his contacts in Eastern Europe and they were pretty shady. For the first time that she could remember, Seras was glad she was a vampire. His contact was a member of the Russian mafia. If she wasn’t immortal, Seras would have been nervous about meeting him. Of course Pip was going on about how this guy wasn’t half as dangerous as most of the people he had associated with when he was a mercenary.

Seras had to wait for the right time to leave the castle. Her Master had gotten very possessive of her in the last few weeks. If he saw her leave, Alucard would have interrogated Seras about where she was going. Seras could not afford anything interfering with her plans when she could feel freedom just within her reach.

She learned from one of the servants that Alucard was leaving the castle for a few days to meet with some rebel forces. It seemed he was getting anxious to regain his throne. It was the perfect opportunity. Seras called and made arrangements to meet with Nikolai, Pip’s Russian acquaintance. He was a weapons expert like no other. If something was made that could injure someone, he would know where to find it. Seras had to dress carefully for her trip. It was daylight now and she had to protect her body from the sun. She dressed in black pants, shirt, and a leather trench coat. To hide her red eyes, Seras put on a pair of dark sun glasses. Geez, I must look like something right out of the Matrix, Seras commented to Pip.

That’s not exactly a bad thing...some of those girls are hot.

You know Pip, you are lucky you are inside of me because if you weren’t that comment would have earned you a smack!

None of them can hold a candle to you, Seras.

Yeah right, Pip. I hear you. Face it - you are just a hopeless pervert. You couldn’t even escape your nature in death. But, Seras wouldn’t have him any other way. Her life was so much brighter since Pip had awoken.
---------
They met Nikolai at a restaurant in Moscow. He was nothing like Seras expected. She pictured some sort of Russian version of Al Pacino from the God Father. Instead this guy was more like a Russian version of Pip. She and Pip had agreed that they wouldn’t try to explain their unique situation to Nikolai. Pip didn’t think that he would ever believe it. Who in their right mind would? Instead they decided to tell him that she was Pip’s girlfriend. It wasn’t really a lie, was it? Pip would tell her what to ask, say, and do. It was a foolproof plan.

Seras saw Nikolai sitting when she walked in the door. Pip pointed him out to her.

“Nikolai? I’m Seras Victoria, I believe we talked on the phone.”

Nikolai looked up and down the body of his strange new acquaintance. “Pip always did know how to pick out the ladies.”

“Umm, thank you - I think. I brought gold, as you requested. I have a very bizarre request but Pip tells me you’ll be able to fill it.”

“I can see you like to get right down to business. Hey, if you’re not happy with Pip...you have my number right? I’d take you out any time you want. I haven\'t received any complaints yet.”

Seras was stunned. She wasn’t used to guys coming on to her like this. Pip flirtation with her had been bad enough. “Umm, you seem like a nice guy and all but...Pip and I have a rather unique relationship. And I live in Romania – it would be kind of hard.” Seras smiled nervously at the young man.

“Well, if it’s because of Pip, that’s one thing, but long distance relationships are the best. You know, you get to have all the fun and none of the bad parts of a relationship.” Nikolai winked at her.

“It’s because of Pip, really. Now can we get down to business?” Seras was getting nervous and she was sure her face was red from blushing. He smiled at her. . Seras could tell that he liked her. It just felt weird because Pip had been friends with him and was listening to the whole conversation.

“Okay, you said something on the phone about a gun that shot liquid silver?”

“Yes, I don’t know how to explain but it is the only thing that will work in our unique situation.”

“Don’t worry – you don’t have to explain. If I didn’t know any better I would suspect that you’re either killing vampires or werewolves. Which is it?”

Seras started to giggle and squirmed in her seat. She didn’t know what else to do and Pip was being strangely quiet. “Oh both, actually. So do you have a weapon that can do that?”

Nikolai put a briefcase up on the table. “Right here, babe. And you have the gold – the amount we agreed on?”

Seras put her briefcase up on the table. The former police girl was beginning to feel like she was a secret agent in a James Bond movie. But you’re prettier then any of those Bond girls. Seras couldn’t help but smile at Pip’s comment.

Nikolai and Seras discreetly exchanged briefcases under the table. Seras decided to fly back to Romania on her own. She did not want to worry about getting a gun through customs – the gold had been hard enough. They went to the highest building in Moscow and she clung to the briefcase and formed black shadow wings. Seras had gotten quite fast since the first time she flew. The “flight” to Romania was only a few hours. Seras had to keep yelling at Pip to be quiet. He said he was getting motion sickness. She just laughed at him. How on earth can a soul get sick?
--------------
Seras just gotten into her room when she heard her Master’s footsteps coming down the hall.

Damn, Seras. Hide the gun.

Seras slid it under her dresser and removed her trench coat. Damn is right.

“Seras, where have you been? I was looking for you.”

“Oh? Sorry, Master. I got hungry and went out – for a bite to eat. I didn’t think you’d be back until tomorrow. How did your…err…meeting go?” Seras hoped Alucard did not probe inside her mind.

“Oh – the meeting? Quite well. I’ll have my throne back soon.” Alucard approached Seras and pulled her against his body. “You know, I actually missed you.”

“Oh?” Seras replied, not sure what to say. She knew what he missed – shagging her. The rebels he met with must have been all male.

“‘Oh?’ Is that what you say when I tell you that I missed you? Actually, what I missed was - fucking you.”

Seras backed away from Alucard. She didn’t like where this was going. “Master, could we…umm…wait till tomorrow? The hunt kind of tired me out.”

“No, Seras I don’t think it can.” Alucard ground his hips into her harder and slipped his hand inside of her shirt. He squeezed her breast and pinched her nipple. He sank his teeth into her neck and drank from her. Seras’ body betrayed her as she writhed in response to his touch and the swoon.

Seras loathed the fact that Alucard had this affect on her. She hated him more then anything after all he had done. Yet, when he touched her...he turned her on so damn much. She could hear Pip screaming inside her mind not to let him violate her – no them – like this. Seras tried to tune him out, focusing instead on what Alucard was doing to her. She knew there was no sense in fighting him. Pip just didn’t understand. If Seras fought him it would only make things worst. No, it was better letting him have his way the first time.

Alucard ripped open her pants, tearing them to shreds. He thrust himself into her hard, making Seras feel the odd combination of pleasure and pain. She could feel the blood dripping down her chest as he pounded into her. A moan escaped her throat as her lower muscles tightened around her Master. Inside, conflicting feelings were tearing her apart. She hated being used by Alucard, like a whore, but she couldn’t help the way her body responded to him. Then, there was Pip. Right now she could feel his torture as Alucard shagged her. Pip felt like he was being raped. The intensity of it all was too much – Seras felt like she was going to break. Seras was relieved as she felt her orgasm start - it would be over soon. Alucard must have known as well – he emptied himself into her. After he pulled himself out of her, Seras collapsed onto the floor. She couldn’t figure out who she hated more: herself or Alucard.

Seras went right to sleep after the encounter with Alucard. Pip wasn’t talking to her and she didn’t blame him one bit. It must have been awful for him. Seras just wanted the whole nightmare to end. She decided that it would be tomorrow. Seras would use the weapon they got from Nikolai. She enjoyed the thought of hurting Alucard just a little too much.
-----------
The next day Seras rested until dusk. It was actually Pip who woke her up. She didn’t know what to say to him. Seras felt so bad about what happened.

Pip, I’m sorry. I just...

Just don’t’ talk about it Seras, ever. Don’t ever bring it up again.

But–

But, nothing. Don’t speak of last night ever again. Now I want nothing more then to take him down, okay?

Yes, Pip.

Seras pulled the weapon out of the brief case and loaded it with the silver cartridges. According to Nikolai, the gun shot liquid silver on its target. If Seras and Pip were right, it would do more damage then plain silver bullets. Seras and Pip were counting on it. If they were wrong, they would both end up dead.

Pip and Seras decided the best strategy would be getting Alucard outside the castle. There were too many human employees inside that Seras had gotten to know personally. She just couldn’t bare it, if any of them died because of her. Seras would ask Alucard to go hunting and challenge him after they fed.

Seras found Alucard in his room drinking bottled blood. She didn’t even want to know where it came from. Seras only hoped he had robbed a blood bank.

“Yes, police girl.”

I hate that nickname. Seras thought bitterly. “Master, I was wondering if we could go hunting tonight. My last feeding was just awful. I want to find a stronger human to feed from.”

“Well it is about time I didn’t have to ask you to go hunting. You should want to hunt every night, Seras Victoria. Now you are acting like a proper bride. I suppose we could go. I have some business to attend to first but we can leave around eleven o’clock.”

“Thank you, Master.” Seras practically ran out of the room. She was petrified Alucard would read her mind and find out her plans.
-----------
Seras met Alucard outside. The young vampire wore her leather trench coat so that she could hide the gun in one of the inside pockets. The master did not talk to her much but seemed to be in a good mood. He did tell her it wouldn’t be long before he was king of Romania. The thought chilled her. She had heard the horror stories of Vlad the Impaler. Seras had seen what Alucard had done to Anna. He wants to recreate his reign of terror.

Pip reminded her how important their mission was. That is why, migonette, we have to defeat him.

Seras shushed him. Alucard might hear him and destroy all of their chances at succeeding.

They finally reached the village. Seras picked a human who had a particularly dark soul. She sensed that he had caused pain to many people and seemed to be strong. Alucard watched as Seras sunk her teeth into the human’s neck and fed from him ravenously. Seras could sense her Master getting aroused by watching her. She dropped the human on the ground after draining him. Each time Seras fed from a human, she felt a piece of her soul slipping away. Even though her victims were not “innocent,” it still felt incredibly wrong to her. The only way Seras lived with herself was knowing that she was probably saving innocent lives with her murders.

Seras felt Master leave after a few moments. His hunger probably got the best of him. She was both relieved and disturbed by his departure. Seras felt relieved because he wouldn’t be scrutinizing her every move, but it bothered Seras because she knew that he wouldn’t try to find someone that deserved to die.

Seras found her Master after she felt his feeding stop. She had no desire to watch him kill an innocent. It was almost time. About a mile before the castle was an deserted field. Seras thought that would be the perfect place to challenge Alucard. There was almost no chance of any innocents being there and getting hurt. She froze when Alucard stopped and started to walk to the middle of the field. He knew.

“So Seras, aren’t you going to challenge me now. Or were you going to launch a surprise attack? Maybe you were going to shoot me in the back.”

“Master?”

“Do you think you can hide your true intentions from me? Your Captain cannot lock me out of your mind. His power does not match mine.”

“I want to leave, Alucard. I don’t think you’ll let me so I guess that means we have to fight.”

“Are you sure you want to challenge me, Seras? You know how strong I am. If you lose, I won’t let you die painlessly. You will experience pain like you’ve never known.”

“I know, Master – I’m ready to take the chance. Anything would be better then staying here with you and being your bride.”

As soon as those words left his fledgling’s mouth, Alucard launched his attack. He punched her hard in the chest, knocking her to the ground. Seras got up fast and kicked Alucard hard in the stomach. They continued matching each other blow for blow. Seras was stronger then she would’ve been alone because she had Pip’s soul inside of her. The problem was that Seras was getting worn out from the fight and Alucard was not. She wasn’t sure how much longer she could keep matching her Master’s strikes.

What are you waiting for, Seras? Pip asked.

I don’t know – I’m just afraid I’ll mess up. Seras said as she took another punch in the stomach. She punched Alucard as hard as she could in his face, breaking the bones in his face. He quickly regenerated and laughed at her effort.

“Is this all you have, Seras? I thought you had gotten stronger. You are nothing but a pathetic vampire – even with the Captain’s soul inside of you. You’re nothing.”

That pissed Pip off. Cherie, let me take over now. He took control of Seras’ body and let all the anger insdie of him loose at Alucard. He remember how the bastard had shagged Seras even though she had said no. Pip punched Alucard so hard that he knocked him on the ground. It was now or never. He removed the gun from the coat and aimed it Alucard’s chest. He knew of the vampire’s regeneration powers and wasn’t even sure if it would work. It was the only hope he and Seras had. Alucard merely laughed at the gun. So he doesn’t know everything.

Pip pulled the trigger and watched as a large cylinder entered Alucard’s chest. What the fuck? I thought it was liquid.

Alucard continued to laugh. “You think this will stop me, you’re as pathetic as my fledgling, Captain.”

Pip watched was the vampire’s expression changed and he howled in pain. The cylinder must have released the liquid into his heart. So, Pip fired into the vampire’s body again.

And again.

And again.

As he was about to fire the last shot, the one that had a chance of killing the Nosferatu - he heard someone approach. “Shit, fuck.”

“Stop. Don’t kill him. If anyone is going to kill him, it’ll be me. He’s my servant.”

Pip moved his soul into the background – letting Seras take control. It’s about time she showed up. I was beginning to think Iscariot captured her.

“Sir-Sir-Sir Integral! But– how? You died. I saw you inside your coffin. I-I cried at your funeral.”

Almost unconscious, Alucard looked up at his Integral and reached out for her. “Master...”

“Shut up, Servant. You’ve misbehaved and will pay for what you’ve done to Seras. Now that I’m here, the seals are back in place. I had find a way to make them work again, since I’m technically dead.”

Seras ran up to Integral and gave her a big hug. She felt the Hellsing leader tighten in response. Integral was never very affectionate. “I don’t understand, Integral. How? You’re a vampire? Alucard didn’t bite you, did he?”

“No, Seras. Some people don’t need to be bitten to become a vampire. They’re souls are...special. Their strength allows them to transform into vampires on their own in death. Alucard was like that and I guess I am too. All of those years alone with him must have had an effect on me. I woke up in the mausoleum. Not a pleasant experience. I didn’t want to come here before I gained control of the seals again. It took a bit of witchcraft but they’re working again.” Integral stroked the back of Seras’ hair. “I’m sorry Seras that I couldn’t stop what Alucard did to you. You’ll never have to suffer like that again.”

“I’m okay, Sir. Pip helped me.”

“I know. He contacted me soon after I woke up as a vampire. Pip told me you needed help. I asked him to keep you alive until I got here. I see that he did his job.”

“Yes, Sir. So what do we do now?”

“We’ll go back to England. I’ll lock Alucard in the dungeon for a few months. We’ll continue to hunt vampires. I have everything worked out with the Queen.”

Seras smiled. Everything I wished is coming true. Integral is alive. I get to go back to Hellsing. And I have you with me, Pip.

Yes it is, Seras. I hope you’re not mad for not telling.

I could never be mad. It was better this way. I might have waited too long if I knew Integral was coming. He might have killed us.

Integral leaned down and stroked her servant’s hair. “Why Alucard? Why? Now I have to punish you. You might have died if I hadn’t arrived. Pip was ready to pump silver into you for eternity. And you deserved it.”

Alucard tried to talk but was too weak. Instead he spoke into Integral’s mind.
Take me home, Master. Now we can finally be together – I’ve waited so long for this moment. And I don\'t even have to ask you to join me - you\'re already a vampire.

“Alucard, why on earth do you think that I would choose to be with you? You need to remember what happened in your past. Did Mina choose to be with you in the end? Why should I be any different?”
