It is cold, so very cold.
Where am I? Open my eyes.
The light! That hurts! Quick glimpse of scarlet. Too bright. Right, I can still
analyze the situation before looking around.
What do I remember? Whiteout
conditions. One of the worst blizzards England has seen in a decade. A
chauffeured ride back from an important meeting.
And?
And what?
"And then Johnson lost
control of the car. He hit a patch of ice, skidded across the road and down an
embankment into the river. The Rolls is currently wrapped around a bridge
piling. I couldn't find Johnson's body. I must assume he was swept away by the
water. You made it to the roof of the car, which is where I found you."
Alucard?
"Where?" Hurts my head to talk.
"Yes, my Master, it is I.
There is no need for you to hurt your head speaking aloud. I'm listening to
you. Your faithful servant has once again pulled you out of the fire."
Have you put me into the
frying pan instead?
A chuckle. "No. This is a
hunting lodge. I needed to get you to shelter. This was the closest place to
the site of the accident. There is no electricity due to the storm, but it has
a fireplace and was stocked with firewood."
Why not just
"transport" me the way you do yourself?
"It can be quite trying on
the human body. I did not wish to risk it when you have a head injury."
Is that why my head hurts so
abominably? That would explain the problem with the light in here as well. Does
anyone know where I am? I need Hellsing to know my whereabouts. I need to get
to work. There's too much to do to be lying around with my eyes closed.
"Master,
you have a concussion. You should not be moving around. The storm is fierce.
There is no outside access at the moment. I came because I felt your injury. I did not tell anyone. It was too
urgent. A reasonable assumption for all to make would be that you took shelter
from the storm as a responsible human
would."
Don't reproach me, Alucard.
You are far from being my father.
"Even
a servant is allowed concern for his Master's well-being."
Why would you care? If I had
died this evening, you would be free.
"Are
you feeling at all nauseated? Any dizziness?"
Begging the question? If
there are no outside contacts and you cannot transport me, you could still
return to Hellsing without me and inform Walter of my whereabouts.
"I
will not do that. It would be irresponsible to leave you alone in your
condition."
And if I order you?
"I
will not obey. You are not in a fit state to be giving orders. I cannot obey an
order that would place you in greater danger. We will stay here until the storm
abates and I will watch over you."
You are a pain in my arse, vampire.
"Were
I not a pain in your arse, Master, you would not have an arse with which to
have pain."
Ooow. Don't make me laugh. It hurts too much.
"Why
don't you rest? I'll be here to keep a watch on your mind to ensure you don't
have any problems. I'll wake you if there is any cause for concern. You will be
better able to fulfill your duties if you allow your body time to heal."
Appealing to my sense of duty? Isn't that cheating?
"A
man must take what advantages he can with a woman such as you."
Be careful of the advantages you take.
"Go
to sleep, Integra."
I'm cold, Alucard. Can you move me closer to the fire?
"It
would be my pleasure."
You don't have to hold me. Couldn't you have just moved the…whatever it
was I was lying on…closer to the fire?
"I
can better watch over you this way. Please, just rest. For your health."
I'm tired. I'll do as you say.
For now.
She
looked so fragile cradled in his arms. She didn't know that there was a livid
bruise that covered half of her face. There were bruises on much of the rest of
her body, but she didn't know that either. He'd stripped off her sodden clothes
and examined her injuries once he'd gotten her to shelter and gotten a fire
started. She was now clad only in a robe he'd found in one of the lodge's
closets. The fireplace dimly lighted the room and it had still been too bright
for her eyes. Alucard was concerned for her, but hadn't lied about the
complications of the situation.
Still,
he smiled at her thoughts as she drifted in the honest moments between waking
and sleep, Why do I feel so
safe in his arms?
Alucard
kept himself company with his memories of her body. That it was marred by
bruises was not enough to detract from her beauty. He'd seen her unclothed
countless times - there is no voyeur more accomplished than one who can be
invisible - but he'd never before had the pleasure of touching her in that
state.
He
remembered her smooth limbs, the fine, almost invisible hairs of her legs, and
the flat plane of her stomach. Her breasts were magnificent. It pained him that
she wore a minimizer bra during the day, but it also made the secret of her
voluptuousness something that was his alone.
She
stirred in his arms and he realized that he'd been leaking his thoughts to her.
He was trying to make sure that she didn't slip into a dangerous
unconsciousness, but the connection he'd kept open between them to monitor her
was two-way. He dipped into her dreams and saw something that made his abdomen
tighten.
She
was dreaming of him examining her just as he'd been going over her attributes
in his daydream. She was floating in a warm mist and his hands were wandering
over her body, touching her intimately. She moaned his name in her dreams and
whispered, "Let me touch you."
He
pulled out of her dream. He didn’t do it out of some sense of human privacy,
but because this was something he wanted so badly it was painful. He wanted her
to know when they were together, not to
merely dismiss it as a dream. He wanted her to submit to him with full
knowledge of what she was doing. Taking that from a dream was mere
masturbation. He wanted so much more from her.
He
spent the rest of the night in a vigil over his injured Master.
He
felt her wake early in the morning, but gave no indication. He continued to
stare into the fire while he felt her scrutiny wander over his face. He was
pleased that it no longer pained her to open her eyes. She was strong in so
many ways and healed quickly.
He
smiled broadly when she closed her eyes once more and snuggled against him. She
was trying to make it seem like something she was just doing in her sleep, but
he knew she was awake and doing it because it felt good. He would let her
pretend.
As
she dropped back away from consciousness, he stroked her face gently with a
tendril of darkness and grinned when she smiled. Courtship is so
entertaining.
