Finally, something is up!
I hate to say this but I am being very lazy with this story, and I don't write unless I feel like it. SO that's why I did 'Fatherhood' and 'Motherhood' to give you guys at least something.
Chapter 4
It’s been ages to Seras when she last saw a warm summer day like this, with sun shining bright in the blue sky. It strangely reminded her of her dream of the family on their farm that lived happy where… uh, ever they lived. It fact she had found herself wishing to go outside to basic in this beautiful day, even if she was a creature of the night.
Grabbing a pair of sunglass, Seras strolled out of the Hellsing Manor and into the large beautiful garden out back. The sunlight tingled her skin the slightest when the rays touched her but it wasn’t a burning tingle just a annoying tingle really. But other than that she was enjoying herself out in the garden on such a nice day. Happily she skipped through garden and passed many of the beautiful spring flowers that have decided to grow late this.
Suddenly Seras came to a complete stop when her nose picked up a familiar smell that put her on the edge a bit. Carefully following the scent, Seras came upon a small shaded area that was surrounded by a few trees and flowers. Lying in the shaded area on his back was the Captain with his hands behind his head and seemed to be asleep.
Being stupid that she was and ignore her common sense, Seras moved closer to Hans while her brain was screamer for her to turn and run.
This was the first time since the day Millennium fell that Seras had seen Hans again. And strangely she was curious about the werewolf ever since that day. As if some unknown force was pulling her towards him.
When she was less than five feet away from the wolf, Hans’s baby blue eyes snapped open and looked that Seras. Startled at this, Seras let out a screech and quickly backed away from him to only trip and fall on her back. The vampire let out a groan of pain while holding her head. Pushing herself up in a sitting position, she noticed that Hans was sitting up to and was no longer on his back. He stared at Seras just as curiously as she was staring at him before. For a while they just stared at each other until Hans suddenly patted a spot next to him, inviting for her to sit with him. Not wanting to upset or anger the werewolf, Seras slowly moved over to him and sat next to Hans against her better judgment.
For a while the other said nothing and sat in an uncomfortable silence. Seras fidgeted with the helm of her skirt while trying to avoid Hans’s gaze. She wasn’t sure why he made her so nervous, maybe it was because they were once enemies and he tried to kill her.
Finally not being able to take the silence anymore, Seras looked up at Hans and glared at him a bit. “You know it’s impolite to stare.”
He said nothing and merely titled his head to the side.
“Well, are you going to say something or stare at me all day?” she asked again.
Don’t zas your breath on him Seras, he’s just a dumb mutt.
‘That’s rude Pip!’
But it’s true, he is a stupid mutt.
‘Actually, I’m not a mutt. I am a pure-breed you could say. A mutt vould be a mix of other breeds, I’m pure German.’ said a new voice in Seras’s mind.
Both Seras and Pip became dead silent from the new intruder and didn’t utter a word after that. The Draculina looked up at Hans in pure shock while Hans just simply looked at her like nothing had happen.
“D-Did you just…” she was in too much shock to finish her sentence.
He titled his head again. You vished for me to speak, so I did.
“B-But how did you… I thought only Master could do that?!”
For one to enter another’s mind is quite easy, vhen they are not guarding it at least.
“That’s not fair; I didn’t know you could do that. I wasn’t prepared!”
He shrugged and looked away. It still doesn’t matter. You should always be on guard at all times, even if you don’t think you need to.
“Are you saying I’m carless?!”
In the back of her mind she could hear Pip snickering. ‘Shut up Pip!’
He didn’t answer and simply shrugged his shoulders again.
Letting out an irritated sigh, Seras removed her sunglasses and placed them neatly beside her. This was not how she expected her day to go at all.
“Why are speaking through thoughts? Can’t you talk?” she asked.
He let out a low groan and lowered his head a bit more, causing his gray hairs to cover his eyes. For a while he didn’t speak and Seras started fear that she might have upset him somehow by her question. But then he sighed and turned towards her a bit to reveal a baby blue eye to her.
I can, but it puts a lot of strain on my voice. Vhen I was little I’ve always had veak vocal cords. So I try to use less of my voice as I can. He explained.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”
He shrugged once more. It is alright, Fraulein.
“Seras, my name is Seras. Not Fraulein.” She growled slightly at the name he gave her.
She wasn’t sure why that name upset her, or the need for her to correct him. Maybe it was the fact that the Major would call Integra that name in that crappy crazy voice of his. She remembered how much her boss got so annoyed after every time he would call her that. She would get moody and put everyone on the edge around her.
When she heard herself being called Fraulein by the Major, she felt sick to her stomach. It was as if he was referring to her as his or something by calling her by a pet name of his. Now she knew why Integra was always so pissed after hearing him call her by that.
But when Hans called her Fraulein, she didn’t feel sick or creped out of her wits. It was more of the opposite really. She was sure if she were still alive her heart would missed a beat from the name while a blush spread across her face. When he called her that it still upset her but for a different reason. But what was that reason she didn’t have answer for it yet.
From the corner of her eye she saw a slight twinkle of amusement in his baby blue eyes as his face remain passive. Is that so, Fraulein.
Her face would have been a tomato by now. “Don’t call me that.”
For a split second she could have sworn she saw a faint smirk on his face.
I think I like Fraulein better.
She shot him with the best glare she could muster up, but failed.
Seeing that her glare had no effect on him, the Draculina scowled and turned away from the wolf. This was definitely not how she wanted to spend her day.
Ignoring the former Nazi, Seras turned her attention to the flowers in the garden she was admiring earlier. Somewhere beside her, she heard Hans shift in his spot for a bit until he fell onto his back again. Seras was glad for the silence between them (even if it was slightly uncomfortable) and just let the peace and quiet of nature surround them. Even since she became a vampire, her eye sight has sharpened to ten folds. Able to take in every little detail with whatever her ocean blue eyes can catch. This was perhaps one of the few things that she liked of herself when she became one of the undead.
Growing slightly bored at just staring at the flowers, the blonde let her eyes wonder over to the surrounding trees. With her sharpen eyes she could easily spot an insect here and there on the bark of the tree or the leaves on the branches. She also spotted a few birds among the trees surrounding them, two of the same type and the rest different. Her gaze moved from the birds towards the clouds above as they formed into different shapes. And before she knew it her gaze moved from the sky towards the wolf beside her.
Now that she wasn’t fighting for life against Hans she took this time to look over him closely. He wasn’t wearing his large coat or the matching hat that went with it. He was just wearing his combat pants that were hanging loosely around his hips, which in her option was way too loose.
This time she made sure to guard her thoughts from him to avoid any further embarrassment. She noted that he was in great shape than most of the men here in the Hellsing Organization. But it wasn’t a surprise to her for seeing that he was in great shape that he was in, he was a solider way before her. He’s had years of experiences on the battle field and was a Captain at that to, so it should make sense that he needed to be in excellent shape.
Her eyes wondered over every inch of his body as she took in every little detail of curves of his muscles. Every one of his muscles looked to be hard as rock and yet soft as silk. It almost made her want to touch one if his muscles just to see if she was right, but frame from doing it. A few times she would catch herself when her eyes started to wonder down to the low rim of his pants and look away. She would have blushed like crazy if she could.
Look away from the wolf again; she turned her attention to elsewhere until she could calm herself. Once she had cleared her mind from a few unwanted thoughts, she turned back to Hans with a nervous expression.
“Hans.” She said, using his name for the first time.
He didn’t move but cracked open one eye and looked up to her.
“I’ve been wondering this for a while, ever since you’ve came here.” She started. “I think it’s more of curiosity really, but… Why did you join Hellsing?”
He remain quiet for a while, (which was no surprise to Seras) as if he was rolling the question around in his head. After what seemed like ages to Seras, Hans finally sat from the ground and scratched his head a bit.
Vhy you ask? He repeated the question to her, but it seemed like mostly to himself. Vhy am I here vith you is indeed a very good questions, vhich I do not have the answer.
She stared at him dumbfound. “So, you don’t know why you join?”
He nodded yes.
“There you are Seras.”
Upon hearing her name, the blonde turned her attention away from the werewolf to see her Master’s master coming towards them.
Once Integra was close evough to Seras she quickly spotted the Captain next to the vampire. Integra stopped where she was and threw a somewhat warning and caution glance at Hans before she looked back at Seras. Hans a little confused at the strange stare he received from his new boss, simple raised an eyebrow in question.
“I’m actually glad I found you both. I need you two to go to the northern part of the UK right away.” said Integra.
“Really, that far?” Seras asked.
Her boss nodded. “Yes, three days ago I send Alucard up there to look into some strange actions that has been happening.”
“Master?” Seras titled her head. “Why does he need our help? We’re the ones that usually need his help.”
Sr Hellsing sighed. “True that Alucard is more than capable to take care of himself. But as I said before, it’s been three days since I send Alucard up there and in those three days we haven’t heard a single thing from him.”
At that Seras eyes wide in shock and horror. “B-But master always reports to you on the first day. How is it that he hasn’t made contact in three days?!”
“I don’t know, but I can say something happen to him. And whatever happened to him must have been strong enough to take him. That’s why I need you two to go and see what happen to him. You two leave tonight, so rest up.”
“Yes sir.” Seras stood up and saluted.
Hans stood up and nodded in response before he took off to get ready.
“Oh and Seras can I speak with you for a moment.” Integra asked, once she was sure that the werewolf was gone.
“Umm, sure what do you need?” the Draculina asked.
“Do you know why Gunsche join us?”
Seras shook her head. “No, I asked him why but he said he doesn’t know himself.”
“Then do you know why he didn’t kill you that day?”
“No.”
Her boss sighed and rubbed her forehead as she muttered to herself.
“Is everything alright?” Seras asked.
“Well, that depends Seras.”
“Depends on what?”
“How you take what I’m about to tell you.”
Now Seras was starting to worry. “Tell me what?”
“Do you remember those odd looks that Gunsche gave that day?”
Seras nodded.
“Well like I told you before of the FREAK chip that was planted in him, it not only it let the Millennium have control over him. But the chip also suppressed his natural instincts as well. The need to feed constantly, protecting his territory, and especially the instinct to find a partner.”
The Draculina raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong with wanting to find a partner? He doesn’t seem like he needs someone to help back him up in a battle or-“
“That’s not what I meant when I said partner.” Her boss cut her off.
“Well then what else does partner mean…” it then dawn on her. “Oh, you meant like that.”
Integra nodded. “Perhaps I should have said mate then partner. But all and all you understand where I am going with this. Now the need of a mate is a very strong instinct for any creature on this plant.”
“I can understand that, but where are you going with this Sr?”
Alucard is right, she really is naïve. Thought the heir of Hellsing, feeling her eye twitch.
“When you fought the Captain and broke the chip within his neck, did he give you a strange gaze?”
“Yeah actually, his eyes had a strange faint pink color when the chip broke. It was very strange” Seras replied.
“Do you know what that look means, Seras?”
For a while Seras thought hard on the question. She figure if her boss brought it up there had to be a good reason to discuss it. But what the reason was she didn’t know of yet. It took her about a good minute or two until finally it dawn on the small blonde.
“You mean he wants to mate with me?!” She shrieked.
Integra chuckled. “Yes he does, and yet he doesn’t.”
“Huh?”
“Like I said before, that chip suppressed all of his instincts for who knows how long. So for now he doesn’t know what those instincts are, for they have been pushed back for so long. But they are there and haven’t taken a fuel effect on him. So when he was set free and saw you, that’s when his instinct for a mate started to kick in, but doesn’t know it yet. That is why he came to Hellsing, he followed you here” Integra explained.
“So he’s here because of me, but doesn’t know it?” Seras asked to see if she had it right.
“That’s about it.
The Draculina sighed. “Well that’s just perfect. When will he… you know, reacting to that instinct?”
“I’ve spoken to Alucard about that since he has more knowledge about werewolves then I do. He said that when there is a full moon they become fully aroused or their bloodlust have reached their maximum. So when a full moon happens Alucard believes that’s when Gunsche’s instincts will kick into full gear again. We didn’t want to tell you this and perhaps take you somewhere else form him during a full moon while we deal with it. But since Alucard hasn’t reported back I figured now would the best time to tell you.”
Seras groan. “Grrreat, just what I need. When is the next full moon anyway?”
“About a week and a half from now.”
She groaned again.
“I’m sorry Seras but there is not much we can do about it at the moment. For now concentrate on tonight and get ready, I’m not sure what you will expect.” said Integra.
“Yes sr.” Seras said weakly as she slowly made her way back to the manor.
There you have it people, I just made Seras's life more difficult.
What will happen you ask, well... I have no idea! I'm serious I'm not quite sure what will happen next. I mean I have a plot and all but I'm not sure how to lay out the next chapter. So yes the next one will be intresting.
Please review!
