She sighed, opening her eyes, not quite wanting to. She pushed open her coffin and looked out the window.
How odd, it's only just sunset.
She recoiled from the light and retreated farther into her bedroom, tripping over a sketchpad. On it was a beautiful fairy like creature, reaching her hand into a bloody sea, where a skeletal figure with broken wings was reaching out to take her hand. Behind the fairy was a big black wolf, it's teeth on the back of her neck, pulling her away from the bloody sea, but to where? She set the picture down, shaking her head. She'd figure out what it meant later.
She moved into the bathroom and took a warm shower, relaxing against the wall as the water beat down soothingly on her back, she closed her eyes and sang softly to herself, until the water began to cool. She quickly washed and got out, toweling herself off, looking around suspiciously. No sign of her masters perverted tricks today it seemed. Yet. She continued into her bedroom where yet another dress was laid on her bed. Her lips set in a hard line, as she snatched the beautiful thing from her bed.
"I can dress myself you know!" she yelled in to particular direction, knowing her intended audience could hear. She quickly slipped into the corset toped black dress with a rather flat, non-cumbersome black skirt. It had bits of red lace here and there for a bit of decoration. It was beautiful, but simple and easy to move around in.
Then it dawned on her. Her master was gone. To another settlement for business. She walked out into the gardens, her bare feet against the soft springy grass. After all, who ever said she had to wear shoes? She walked among the breathtaking flowers, smiling as she was able to watch the big beautiful moon flowers bloom. It was so lovely.
The hairs on the back of her neck prickled as she turned, her nose twitching at an odd scent. She looked up to see an young man, sitting on the garden wall, adjusting his cigarette.
"Who are you? And what are you doing here?" She called approaching slowly. How was he here? Had the guards not noticed? Is he allowed?
"Oh you know, just looking. After all, it's good to scout out new territory once you've been hired, no?" he responded lazily, his gaze dragging over her body along with the grounds around her. She shivered.
"Hired? For what?" she asked, growing ever more wary.
"Well, nothing just yet, I'm still debating on taking the job. It's a little crazy. Plus Nazis aren't usually my style, but anywhere you can get a bit of coin, no?"
"Nazis? Those are still around?"
"Just full of questions aren't we? May I ask a question of my own, mignonette?" he inquired
"You just did, but you may ask another."
"Do vampires truly live in this castle?" he leaned forward a bit. She bit her lip.
"That's not for me to say," she responded slowly, carefully.
"Ah so there are, in fact you may even be one. "
"I suggest you leave, sir."
"All you had to do was ask. I didn't catch your name."
"Seras, yours?" she bit off each word, getting annoyed.
"Pip. I'll see you around." He jumped from the wall back to the other side, walking carelessly into the forest.
"Maybe something will eat him," she muttered to herself, turning to return to her browsing. She was just pondering on when all these weird people would stop appearing and the guards would maybe do their damn job when something told her to look up. The oak tree next to her was full of ravens; every single one had eyes the color of blood. One opened its wings prepared to take flight, and she noticed how sharp its talons were. Shit.
She sprinted away, all the ravens taking flight after her, quickly catching up. They tore through her dress and flesh easily. She clawed at bit and hissed, killing many, but there were hundreds. She pulled her gun from her bosom and fired wildly into the feathery black mass, taking down several birds at a time. She was finally able to thin them a bit and ran into the castle, slamming the door behind her. A few managed to get into the house and she tore them to shreds.
Where the hell are the guards?!
She ran up the stairs to the front of the castle, her eyes widening in horror at the sight before her.
Oh, that's where they are.
In the courtyard, and beyond, laid dead and dying soldiers of both sides, along with hundreds still fighting in a bloody mass of bodies. She looked on at the battle horrified. War was the only thought that came to mind. What had been happening in the world while she lay oblivious in the castle? It had only been around three maybe four days . . . right?
She turned from the window, retreating to her room to fetch her cannon, along with plenty of ammo.
Just like the good old days in Hellsing, right baby?
Breaking apart the window with her foot, she settled herself there, cannon aimed out, and began to fire out into the mass of still incoming enemies. She knew she'd have to go out and defend soon, but not yet.
The incoming enemies were thankfully dwindling. But it was time; she was just about out of ammo. She jumped from the window into the fray, she slashed wildly with her talons, leaping, kicking, biting and crushing her foes. Her eyes bled entirely to red as blood lust over took her senses. She began to mercilessly destroy all the opposing forces, laughing cruelly at their broken screams. Their pain was her pleasure. Soaked in blood, eyes glowing red, the No Life Queen stood, a force to be feared by all. The enemies began to retreat, but she couldn't have that, she chased many down, crushing them all.
I'm so terrible! I got distracted by Speech and Drama and Bunny Shows and Rock Concerts! I didn't make time for my story. Will you ever forgive me? Well, poop is about to heat up here in the story. I really hope Seras doesn't murder women and children. I wonder if anybody can stop her, who's trying to hire pip, where'd the angry crows come from, who's attacking the castle, why are there so many questions?! Also if any of you are curious, there actually are moon flowers, they are huge white flowers that grow on vines and only bloom in the evening, they fade as soon as the sun rises, like reverse morning glories, I love them! They pretty much glow in the moonlight. I promise from now on I will try so hard to update every few days. I do not deserve your love!
