Curse of Sins
Chapter: 1
Lonely Nights
Well this is my first shot at a Hellsing fic. If some people also read Slayers fanfics then you will probably know me as mostly a slayers writer...well now I'm going to try and do this wonderful series some justice.
She walked down the long deserted hallways of the manor. The clatter of her boots echoed throughout as she made her way to the door. She soon reached the gigantic double doors and opened them without effort. The moon shone down upon her as she looked at the world that had been covered in night. She then smiled, allowing her fangs to show, as she began to move towards the iron gates. Seras gracefully undid the padlock on the gate before stepping out onto the streets of London. "Ah, time to get a bit to drink," she mused as her scarlet eyes gleamed in the night.
She then quickly moved, quicker than any mortal could hope to, and stopped in front of a blood bank. After looking at the building for a moment she closed her eyes in concentration. A few moments later a black pool appeared at her side as she opened her eyes once again. Seras reached in and pulled out two large metal briefcases; that looked too heavy for her light frame to support, without an ounce of effort. She smiled happily; thus showing her fangs even more, as she walked forward and through the wall. Seras appeared on the other side of the wall inside a cold storage cell filled with blood packets. She opened the case to show that they where refrigerated and made to transport the blood without it spoiling. She then began to pick through the packs while remarking, "I've struck it rich this time."
She filled the deep cases with every assortment of blood; including the rare AB blood type, before closing the cases on the load of blood. She then turned to the wall and walked back through to the streets outside. After making sure no one saw her exit she headed back to the mansion with the same blinding speed that had brought her to the blood bank. She soon reached the cast iron gates of the mansion as she stopped on a dime from the run she had been using. As she walked through the gates she stopped to take in the mansion that she had lived in for so long. It was holding up well for the old building it was, but it had started showing it's age. It had patch work here and there and a garden that had been redone time and time again. Seras sighed as she started walking towards the door thinking, 'I'll never know why people find this place so interesting.' As she walked through the door she laughed and said, "Why because they're looking for me. They think I'm some kinda bloody ghost...but I'm so much worse."
It had been years since the Hellsing organization had existed and she had been secretly living in the old mansion. For one reason she stopped drawing a paycheck since she was pronounced dead with the rest of her team at the village of cheddar on that faithful night. So she couldn't support herself because she didn't want to have to deal with the fact of hiding what she had become. 'Besides it's easier to hide and act as if you don't exists then to just hide one part of you,' Seras thought as she climbed the steps to the second floor. She walked past Integra's old office and down a hallway while saying, "Everything went to hell when she died."
It was true; the Hellsing heir had no children of her own to carry on the family business. With the death of Integra the government disbanded the standing forces of Hellsing and sent them back to their old units. As for Alucard, well he locked himself away in the dungeon under the mansion and went to sleep. She remembered how she pleaded him to stay; how she wanted him to run away with her.
"But, master why are you doing this? You're free now we can live however we wish," Seras baulked at what her master had decided to do since Integra's death.
Alucard looked at his fledgling and smirked at her as he turned to face her. "Don't worry Police Girl...I'm sure someone will need us in the future. I suggest you do the same as me and sleep until that time. Unless you are ready to part from me."
Seras thought she heard a tinge of sadness in the last bit of his statement, but cleared her head at the thought. She then looked at Alucard before turning and saying, "I'm not going to drink your blood master. But, I'm not giving up either, you can sleep if you wish I'm not going to join you."
Alucard watched as his child walked defiantly away from him. He smirked while he thought, 'She reminds me of when we first met in cheddar that night. Not ready to give up and die. Be careful police girl...as you will find out living as long as we do isn't always what it's cracked up to be.' He then turned into his chambers and whispered, "Goodbye Seras Victoria."
Seras' huffed at the memory as she reached what she was looking for and stopped in front of a door. 'I'm doing fine on my own. He can sleep all he wants...and I'll protect our home,' Seras thought as she turned the knob and walked in. She walked into an old library with a bunch of old books slowly decaying with the passage of time. She walked up to the main bookcase and began to scan for the correct book. She then stopped when she came to the book, 'Faust,' and pulled the book out slightly. There was a click as the section of bookcase slid out to reveal a secret refrigerator room meant for storing blood. Seras smiled before walking in a saying out loud, "Thank you Walter for this hiding place."
Seras set down the cases and began to hang her bounty on the different racks. She had picked up enough to last for at least three months before she would have to go back for more. As she finished placing the blood she grabbed a bag of A type before walking out and closing the secret door. As she made her way back down the hall she bit into the bag and let the cold liquid roll down her throat for her evening meal. After finishing with the bag Seras rolled it into a small ball and made her way to Integra's office. She opened the large double doors to enter into the same room that she used to be given orders from. As she crossed the room memories came to her of a earlier time for bad or good.
She had been looking for her master when she happen to walk past Integra's office. The office doors were open and she was about to ask if she had seen him but her words fell short. There he was. Alucard and Integra were on the balcony gazing at the stars of the London night sky. Not saying a word to either just standing there as if a they knew what each other was thinking.
For some reason Seras had run away feeling like she had lost something. She huffed again at the memory and said, "Who needs them. I was never good enough for either of them."
Seras had meant to laugh off the memory but it and her remarks caused anger to rise in her. She turned and punched a wall hard enough to cause the marble to crack some what. She turned and looked at the painting of Integra's father and shouted, "I was never good enough for anyone here was I!"
After a few moments of standing there just shaking with rage Seras breathed deep, more out of habit than need, and began to take back control of her emotions. She walked over to Integra's desk while pitching the bag into the trash can besides the desk. She sat down in the old leather chair and opened the top drawer of the desk. She reached into the back of the drawer and stuck to the top of the space was Integra's emergency stash of cigars. After pulling out the small case Seras opened it and pulled out one of the tubes of tobacco with the lighter that was hidden with them. She placed the cigar in her mouth and lit the tobacco. She took a long drag before bringing the cigar from her mouth and exhaling. "Now I know why she liked these. They can relieve so much stress when you're having a bad day."
Seras sat and puffed on the cigar for a while as her body began to relax. She had began smoking what was left of Integra's cigars about two months after Alucard and her had last seen each other. She found the tobacco still had an effect even on a vampire, 'Maybe that's why master was in here a lot.'
Sears shook her head as she finished the last of the cigar and put it out before dumping the remains in the trash can. She sighed as she thought, 'Yeah right...the reason master was her is because he was busy pining over Integra and how she kept refusing his offer.' She frowned as she walked out onto the balcony and leaned onto the railing before saying, "All I was was a toy for master and a somewhat useful tool for Integra."
Thought Seras and Integra had reached somewhat of an understanding after the tower incident it didn't change that Integra was the master and she was the servant. Seras leaned on the railing for a while as she stared at the stars; just as they used to back when Integra was young. After awhile of staring she got frustrated with herself, "Bloody hell, master would be laughing at me if he saw how much my memories keep tormenting me tonight," as she turned around.
As she was about to walk away Seras heard a low whistle. She turned quickly and saw a pair of teenagers hanging about near one of the outer walls smoking. The two boys winked at her to compliment her. She blushed, redness finding her face for the first time in almost a decade, as she stepped back into a black portal and disappeared.
Seras reappeared in her living quarters where she promptly took off her uniform. She then quickly hid the items behind her coffin bed and then past through the coffin top to reach her bed. She hadn't used the manual control since the day she figured out how to go through objects just like Alucard used to do. She laid down while covering herself up before sighing. She then looked at the side of the coffin before thinking and saying out loud, "Goodnight Master."
