Chapter Fifteen: Growing TensionHe knew the female was just in the bathroom and he could get to her within seconds if she needed him but none of that made him feel any better. His now gloved hands twitched by his side restlessly as Alucard fought the urge to simply phase through the door and into the small room the human had gone into to take care of herself. His nostrils flared as the scent of fresh blood met his nose, making his eyes turn a deep crimson and a low growl rumble from his chest. Shaking slightly in place, Alucard closed his slightly glowing eyes as he fought against his instincts. “Alucard!” snarled a female voice from the entry of the room, making him jolt slightly as he turned to acknowledge the person.There stood Integra, her flaxen bangs framing her handsome, pale face, a cigarillo clamped between her lips as a halo of scented smoke surrounded her head. Even now, he could still taste the fear and determination that had been in her blood all those years ago. With how close his demon was to the surface, Alucard was extremely unstable. His entire body shuddered violently as a low, almost seductive sounding growl left him. “Sir Intergaaaaaa,” came from the very air around them, sounding more like a guttural snarl than actual words.
Stiffening a bit at how he was acting, the commanding femme narrowed her blue eyes as her glasses flashed. “Alucard… contain yourself,” she hissed out, her steady voice not betraying any of the fear he could clearly smell. Smirking, the demon before her closed his eyes and inhaled deeply before relaxing slightly. When his eyes reopened, they were once again a sunset orange.
“Forgive me, my master. The scent of Maxine has been doing strange things to me,” he purred apologetically, bowing in an almost mocking manner as he continued to smirk at her. This caused the commander to bristle visibly, her jaw tensing as she took her cigarillo from her mouth.
“I heard about how you acted towards Walter. Care to explain yourself,” she bit out, her voice biting and furious as she glared at the vampire a few feet in front of her.
“Hmm, I wonder,” he purred, moving slowly towards her with a rather predatory look on his pale face. As realization came into his mistress' blue eyes, Alucard shot forward and grabbed her in his arms. His white clad hands twitched on the back of her tan coat as he burrowed his nose in her platinum hair.
“Alucard…,” came an angry, feminine snarl from his chest as Integra looked up at him with a snarl on her face. Her gloved hands came up to his chest as she began to try to push back from him. The nosferatu's leather clad arms only tightened briefly as a low growl rumbled from his chest.
“You would give your virginity to Walter but not me. You would deny that precious honor to your faithful servant. A servant who has taken such good care of you in the past,” he hissed out, hurt tinging his angry voice as he met her eyes.
Integra's eyes widened as she looked up at the vampire. Cerulean orbs met his burning, sunset gaze as he seemed to glare faintly down at her. “Alucard…,” she whispered, her anger fading for guilt as well as a touch of fear. The creature had been unendingly loyal to her and he had made his desire to take her maidenhead very clear on several occasions. The supposedly emotionless demon had often acted possessive and protective of her, even acted shockingly tender on occasion.
“Is it because he is human,” the creature rumbled, the last word coming out as a bitter hiss as hurt and a touch of rage flickered over his perfect features.
“No! It just… happened. Neither of us were expecting…,” she whispered in a frightened, guilt ridden voice before her commanding nature came back full force.
“I do not have to explain myself to a mere dog!” she bit out, her eyes flashing with challenge as she extricated herself from the vampire's tight hold. Instead of being angry, the creature only smirked down at her, affection swirling with the anger in his unusual gaze. Then he was chuckling, all his earlier anger gone as his orangeish gaze roved over her assessingly.
“As long as you are happy, my little Hellsing,” came a quiet purr from the demon as he bowed slightly, his gaze never leaving hers.
“It is none of your business vampire,” the femme hissed with more anger than she actually felt. Honestly, she felt like the lowest life form on the face of the planet. It wasn't that she regretted giving herself to her faithful butler but she did regret the effect it seemed to have on the vampire before her. His posture was of a man defeated but willing to let go for her happiness.
Only smirking knowingly in response, Alucard merely kept his eyes locked with his master's. There had to be another reason why she was here, otherwise she would have simply summoned him to her office to give him a quick dressing down. “That's not the reason I came to see you anyway,” Integra growled out, guilt tinging her irritated tone and making him tilt his head slightly in confusion. He wasn't surprised by her declaration, what surprised him was the emotion attached. What could she have to discuss with him that would make her feel guilty besides what had happened with Walter.
“I cannot allow you to court Maxine,” the Hellsing heir whispered out, her voice small and uncharacteristically frightened as she braced herself for the explosion.
Maxine sighed as she finished cleaning herself and fixed a new pad to the bottom of her panties. In her opinion, the end of her cycle couldn't come quickly enough. As she pulled up her panties and pajama pants, she heard an angry, male voice begin to yell at someone in her room. Blinking in stunned confusion, the soldier opened her door slightly to assess the situation brewing in her room. What she saw nearly made her jaw drop.
There stood Alucard, drawn up to his full height with his shadows flaring around his body. His hair floated in the air around his head and his eyes burned a dark crimson, resembling freshly spilled blood. “After all the centuries I have served you, after all I have done for you and your family after what your grandfather put me through… You would dare to order me to give up the person I have been searching for for centuries! For decades my soul ached to be reunited with her after your ancestor forcibly separated us the second time and now, now you demand that I not pursue her,” he hissed in a darkly threatening voice as his powers flared and caused the lights in the room to flicker.
“Alucard, I have no choice! If you were to regain your memories of what my family did to you…,” gasped out the rightfully frightened commander, standing her ground despite how terrified she obviously was.
“I already have my 'little' Hellsing,” came a bitter, biting snarl from the creature, his hands curling into tight shaking fists. Integra's only response was to look up at the fuming demon with a look of abject horror.
“The whippings, the blood draining, the 'experiments', the starving, yes I remember all of it. I chose to keep it in the back of my mind because you are not your ancestor. Do you really think me such a mindless beast that I would lose all control and slaughter everyone in my path? Now you are forbidding me to be with my soulmate when she is so near. Are you trying to follow in Abraham's footsteps my little kitten?” he husked out, rage thick in his voice as his shadows began to slowly crawl outward and fill the room. The normally indifferent heiress could only look up at her servant with wide, fear filled eyes, her cigarillo dropping from her loosened fingers.
Then Max was moving, planting herself between the enraged demon and her boss; her emerald eyes sparkling with a steely edge as she glared down the seething nosferatu. “She could have no idea how you would react to regaining those memories! With how powerful you are and how close your demon always is to the surface, could you really blame her for taking precautions?” the warrior hissed, spreading her arms out at her sides to shield the female behind her.
Instead of turning his anger on her like she feared, the vampire's powers ebbed the instant she stepped in front of the taller woman. All anger also quickly disappeared, leaving both women stunned. “Now, what was that you were saying about Alucard not being allowed to court me?” the warrior asked, turning her head to look at the stunned femme behind her once she was certain Integra's head wasn't about to be ripped off. To her amusement, the platinum haired woman only looked at her stunned for a few moments before clearing her throat and resuming her intimidating look.
“Before Alucard… mentioned remembering what had happened to him, Walter and I thought it would be best to keep you two separated. We were afraid that regaining the memories of what… Abraham... did to him would cause him to go berserk,” the Hellsing heir answered in her normal calm, steely tone, her blue eyes never leaving Alucard for a second. The vampire, on the other hand, stood there silently; watching the exchange with his intense gaze.
“Would that still be necessary with the current situation? As you can see, he has not gone crazy and started attacking staff left and right yet,” Max replied calmly, slowly lowering her arms and turning to face the much taller female. Her calm, logical response seemed to take Integra by surprise, as the flaxen haired female went silent; a contemplative look coming over her tanned face.
“It would appear to be unnecessary, not to mention the damage has already been done. Alucard has not only remembered what my ancestor did to him but also who he used to be in the past. It would seem any further precautions would be closing the barn door after the horse has escaped,” the commander sighed out in a defeated sounding voice, eying the nosferatu with an apprehensive glance. Said creature only grinned in response, satisfaction and a bit of mocking in his once again sunset colored eyes.
“Mark my words vampire, if you harm one hair on this woman's head I will make an example of you in a manner which I'm sure you are very familiar with,” Integra bit out, striding over to the vampire and poking his unmoving chest with a gloved index finger. Alucard only grabbed her hand gently in one of his, drawing a shocked, unsure gasp from both women. Then he was kissing the top almost reverently before he released her. Then the noble demon went down to one knee, bowing his dark head.
“I swear you an oath of my life that I will never allow harm to come to Maxine stone. Be it from myself or otherwise,” he rumbled out, keeping his head bowed in submission.
Max watched the scene with wide eyes, unaccustomed to the jealousy that had filled her when she saw the demon kiss his mistress' hand. Then there had been what he said, that alone made a heat flood her lower body; filling her with pleasant tingles. Even Integra seemed stunned by his odd behavior, staring down at the mighty creature with a nonplussed expression. After a few moments of awkward silence, the femme arched a silvery brow before bending to capture Alucard's chin in a gloved grip; tipping the vampire's painfully beautiful face up to look at her.
“Also, if you dare to assault my butler again, I can assure you I will chain you out in the yards for the recruits to use for target practice,” she hissed out from between gritted teeth before childishly flicking his forehead with a gloved index finger.
Giggling a bit at the normally serious female's odd behavior, Max tried to hide her smile behind her hand as Integra straightened and whirled to face her. “As for you Ms. Stone, I do hope you know what you've gotten yourself into,” Integra sighed out, giving the warrior a worried glance as she bent to pick up her still smoking cigarillo. Then she simply walked out of the room, shutting the door in her wake.
Once again alone with the leather clad nosferatu and her earlier adrenaline wearing off, Max found herself wavering slightly as her strength drained from her. Then she found herself being swung into a strong embrace and placed down gently on her bed. Looking up at Alucard, who was gazing down at her with faint worry, she managed a small, reassuring smile. “I guess that short jog really took it outta me,” she tried to joke, only earning a slight glare.
Heaving a sigh and shaking his head slightly, the nosferatu brought his wrist up to his lips and, with a low growling hiss, bit into the white skin. Almost immediately blood bubbled out of the bite, rolling down his wrist in thick rivulets. Flinching back from him slightly, Max looked up at him with clear reluctance in her gaze. “You know, I would honestly prefer the I.V. blood,” she sighed out, scrunching her nose in faint disgust as he scooped some of the crimson substance onto his now bare fingers.
Instead of responding, the vampire merely stretched his bloody fingers towards her lips until they almost touched her skin. Giving the prince of shadows one last, pleading look and only getting a stern glance in response, Maxine resigned herself to her fate and lapped up the slightly coppery fluid. As her tongue cleaned the last drops from his white skin, the female could already feel strength returning to her body. “One more day of that and you will be back to full strength,” the male next to her purred, his voice a deep rumble as he licked the wound on his wrist to heal it.
Despite the fact that the liquid tasted pretty vile, the soldier found herself growing an odd liking to it. Shaking off the strange notion, she only nodded at the demon beside her bed. “Thanks, I guess,” she sighed out, unsure if she was really all the happy about Alucard's methods of helping her heal faster. If she had to be honest, she found the whole process rather disgusting and more than just a bit disturbing.
“Would you prefer to be stuck in this bed for weeks? Too weak to even lift your head for long periods?” he quipped, amusement in his voice as he brushed his fingertips along her pale cheek lightly.
Jolting a bit at the unexpected contact, the soldier considered his half teasing words. She was a bit irritated to find he was right, she much preferred his methods to staying in bed for a rather extended period of time. Instead of giving him the satisfaction of acknowledging his victory, Max only shot him an irritated glare before turning to frown down at the blankets beneath her. The maddening creature beside her only chuckled. “So, how are you going to put my past lives to sleep?” she whispered after a few moments of silence.
“Would you like me to do so now?” came his rumbled reply, making her look up at him. The nosferatu was watching her closely, his burning gaze fixed on her as he seemed to be waiting for her answer. Swallowing loudly, Max looked up at the rather tall male as she considered her reply. Was she truly ready to put her noisy past lives to sleep in a temporary sense to learn her true feelings about the monster in the room with her?
Looking up at the vampire nervously, she found herself nibbling her bottom lip unconsciously. To tell the truth, she was a little afraid of finding out exactly what she felt for the darkly powerful male. Alucard was ancient, powerful and had an almost seductive aura around him when he was relaxed, who was she to think she would be worthy enough to even lick his boots? Yet he had told her he would have been attracted to her despite her being the other half of his soul. It would only be fair if she did the same in regard to him. Taking in a deep breath, she gave a small nod as she continued to look up at the nosferatu. “Lay back and close your eyes,” he whispered softly, his orangeish red gaze intense as he watched her comply.
As soon as she was settled, she felt a cool, callused hand pressing to her forehead. *“Odihnă pentru o vreme iubirile mele. S-ar putea trezi din nou în două săptămâni,” he rumbled out in a guttural sounding language she couldn't quite understand. Then, all of a sudden, she felt more alone in her head than she had in the past five and a half days.
“You may open your eyes now,” came an amused voice as the hand on her forehead caressed her skin with a rough thumb. Opening her emerald eyes, the female almost screamed when she saw Alucard's face bare inches from her own. The vampire only smiled toothily at her, showing off that he had turned all of his teeth into cruel fangs.
To her surprise, her comfort around the demon hadn't diminished. Shoving at the creature so she could sit up, she was only slightly shocked when he complied and gave her some room. “I don't feel any different,” she whispered in a stunned voice, almost whispering it to herself as she avoided the vampire's burning gaze.
“They are asleep, I assure you,” came a reassuring rumble from beside her. Knowing he was telling the truth, the soldier found herself a little frightened by the implications. Did that mean her growing affections for the vampire had been her own all along? When had she started to begin feeling things for him? Had it been the first time he had saved her life in that alley? Had it been the second time he had saved her life this first time Radu kidnapped her? She couldn't quite pinpoint it.
Finding herself a bit disconcerted by what all this could mean, Maxine found herself looking up at Alucard for reassurance. Despite her past lives being asleep, the soldier still found herself seeking the comfort of his presence. Just looking into his eyes made her feel safer, calmer and that fact faintly concerned her. Without the presence of the shades, the female found herself even more thrown off balance by her feelings. Just when had she become so comfortable around this merciless beast? The sound of the door opening drawing her out of her confused thoughts, Max looked up to see Seras cautiously poking her blonde head into the room.
Relieved to see the busty female, the soldier waved to her enthusiastically. “Hey Seras!” she called cheerfully, blinking as Alucard began to move from her side and towards the Childe.
“Hello Police Girl. Have you been keeping up on your blood rations?” he purred out in a tone that sent shivers down both females' spines.
“I'll have you know I've been eating three bags a day,” she replied almost indignantly as she slowly came into the room. Her slightly orange rimmed eyes locked on Max as a concerned look came over her pale face.
“You feeling better Max?” asked the newborn vampire as she moved to the other woman's bedside.
“Yeah, a lot got straightened out since your last visit,” the soldier replied with a smile, reaching up to hug the vampiress. Chuckling, Seras hugged her back as she pulled a nearby chair up to the bed.
“How have things been in the mansion?” Max asked eagerly, desperate for any tales that would help some of her boredom from being trapped in this room. With a smirk, the once policewoman began to go into some of the juiciest gossip she had heard around the compound. Other than what had happened with Raoul and Radu, things had been rather peaceful in the manor. The long lull in action seemed to cause some interesting behavior in the soldiers and made for some amusing stories.
After a tale about how a soldier had gotten caught with his dick in a pickle jar by a rather shocked Walter, Alucard shocked them both by chuckling quietly. “Ah, that sounds like Hicks alright,” he rumbled out, amusement clear in his deep voice as he watched the two women closely.
“Master, would you like to join us?” Seras whispered, surprise and a hint of longing in her sweet voice. Finding herself wondering just how much time the sire spent with his Childe, Max smiled encouragingly at the vampire and motioned him to come closer. Smiling slightly at the both of them, Alucard came to stand beside the former officer. Soon the three of them were talking and joking like a trio of best friends, carrying on well into the night.
