"Talking"
'Thinking'
MemoriesStressedCrimson eyes turned to the moon and sighed in anger. Turning her attention back to the captain, he winked at her. Pink tinted her cheeks as she glared at him. His hazel eye sparkled with some unknown mischief as he sent his troops off. Ceres shook her head as she tried to clear her mind. He was approaching her and she couldn't help but stare at his long orange braid as it swung behind him. He titled his hat up and stopped in front of her with a smile.
"See something you like?" He asked in his French accent. Ceres realized she was staring and began to glare again.
"No," she blurted out.
"But you were looking," he taunted as his grin grew.
"Captain Pip, I was only staring at the ridiculous hat of yours," Ceres shout back.
"Such harsh words, why do you torment me?" Pip teased.
"I have a witch to find," Ceres said as she turned to leave.
Pip caught her hand and she looked at him with mild anger and part curiosity.
"Be careful…I have a bad feeling," Pip cautioned.
"You watch yourself and your men," Ceres warned as she walked away.
Pip smirked as he watched her go. Staring at her rear in appreciation he watched as she ran to the end of park walk way and turned around. Ceres glared at him and mouthed the word 'pervert' before continuing. Smirking even more he lit a cigarette and ran back to the Wild Geese to fully inform them of the mission. His brown camo pants swishing in the wind as he pushed up his sleeves to his brown leather aviator jacket.
Coming to edge of the walkway, she frowned as sniffed the air. There was old blood coming from the east. Turning to the east she ran in hopes of catching the witch. Carrying her anti-freak cannon on her back, she grunted as it hit a few branches. Ceres took in her surroundings with a horrified awe when she reached the clearing. The smell of blood was old, but it was still tempting. Walking from her coverage in the trees, she found the ritual circle. The witch was in the middle with a cauldron of blood and who knows what boiling.
The witch smirked and bared her fangs as her crimson eyes landed on Ceres. Ceres raised her weapon and took aim. The witch tilted her head as her white hair glistened in the moonlight. Her crimson eyes seemed to be pleading for death as she reached inside the cauldron.
"In the name of God, impure souls of the living dead shall be banished in eternal damnation. Amen," Ceres whispered before firing.
The witch held up her hand and the bullet rushed into an invisible shield before exploding. Ceres dropped her weapon knowing there would be time to reload. Some problems needed to be solved with your own bare hands. Rushing into the circle without a second thought, she hit the shield herself. The witch jumped out of the circle as it glowed a faint red. Ceres stood and charged again only to find she couldn't leave the circle.
Staring at the witch, she saw something very familiar. The witch kneeled and held a dagger to her heart as she began to chant. With each verse, the circle pulsed to life.
"Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Lives are taken
To serve our lust
Pale in moonlight
Human in sun
Rise to my plea!
Right this wrong
Bring unto thee life.
Remove the unlife
And grant-"
Ceres cradled her hand as everything upon began to pulse. It felt as if something was being ripped apart from her. Then she heard it, he salvation was a gunshot in the distance. The witch's body fell as blood stained the circle. Ceres looked up and Pip in hope as he tired to entered the sealed circle. He was knocked back by the shield and could only watch.
The blood spread around the circle and outlined the pentagram on the ground. Fire erupted from the circle and surrounded her body as her eyes widened in fear.
"Ceres!" Pip yelled as his eye widened in horror.
The flames blocked his view as he watched in horror. Turning his head away from the flames, he looked over to see Alucard watching with a stoic face.
"Help her," Pip demanded as he banged on the shield.
Alucard looked down at the witch's corpse and kicked it away in disgust. The flames began to slowly die away. Biting his lip, he pressed his gloved hand against the circle and found that the barrier was weakening. Pip growled and ran into the barrier in an attempt to break it down. Bracing himself for the impact, he found that he ran right through it. Stumbling he caught his balance and ran to Ceres. Relief washed over his face as he came upon Ceres body, which seemed normal and un-burnt.
"Holy shit," Pip mumbled as he continued to stare. He heard the footsteps and knew Alucard was approaching. Alucard stopped behind Pip and looked upon the policewoman.
"This is interesting," Alucard mumbled.
Pip kneeled next to the Ceres closet to him. Picking her up, he looked to see Alucard doing the same with the other. Two Ceres were once where one was, and until one woke up they, both would remain confused to as what had happened. As the walked to where the rest of the troops were Pip glanced down at the Ceres in his arms. Everything appeared to be same except her skin had a certain glow to it.
Shrugging to himself mentally, he placed her in the truck they arrived in. This was going to need one hell of an explanation.
"This was a perfect night," Alucard muttered as he stared at the Ceres in his arms.
