Chapter Twenty-One: Sweet Childe of Mine
“Feel better after a night's sleep Max?” Seras asked gently, worry in her now mostly orangeish red gaze. Only a small amount of blue rimmed her pupil and a fang poked over her lower lip as the blonde grinned crookedly. Maxine, who had been sprawled on the blonde's bed, only shot her a heated glare.
“I didn't get one wink of sleep last night. Sir Integra was not amused by our new addition or the fact that Alucard is insisting that he be in charge of Raoul,” the soldier groaned, unable to help but smile back. Slowly but surely, it seemed like the young draculina was getting used to the idea of being a vampire. Just a few days ago her eyes would have still been a human blue and she would have still been trying to hide her true nature. Now she was much more relaxed, had lost the pallor of starvation and was even laughing a lot more.
“But master said…,” the young vampire began, only to earn a pillow playfully tossed at her head.
“Your master and Raoul were too busy hissing at each-other to notice they were keeping me awake,” Max groaned remembering just what happened last night. The pair were so busy arguing over how the other would keep her awake that neither noticed her trying to disappear under her pillow. It was a wonder that Alucard had allowed her former caretaker into the room at all, given her past with him.
“Why did you not tell me,” came a gentle purr beside her ear as a pair of leather covered hands came down on her shoulders. The reaction from both females was rather instantaneous and violent. Seras blushed a deep brick color and scrambled away while Max merely turned a deep shade of red as her body froze entirely.
“I didn't want to start another argument over Raoul being in the room,” the suit wearing female whispered, doing her level best to stop her heart from beating out of her chest as she looked up at the vampire behind her. Alucard did not seem pleased by her response, placing his cool lips on her forehead to gauge her temperature.
“You smell like you're tired. If you keep going like this, you're going to get ill,” he whispered against her skin, his long arms coming up to wrap loosely around her. Seras, who was watching this, got a rather strange look in her mostly sunset colored eyes. A look that made Alucard's arms tighten protectively.
The normally laid back Childe almost looked feral, her eyes a deep red color as her fangs elongated to poke over her lower lip. Her gloved hands were curled into tight, shaking fists as the small female panted raggedly. It looked as if something had caused her demon to come very close to the surface. The jealousy that burned in her eyes made that reason very clear for the pair sitting on her bed. “Seras,” her sire hissed out in a dark, warning voice, making her snap back to herself as if a switch had been hit.
“M-master, what just… I don't remember a thing that happened for a few moments there,” the blonde whispered in a tiny, scared, lightly accented voice.
“Seras, do you have feelings for Alucard?” Maxine asked in an amused voice while the protective nosferatu kept her in a tight hold. Her question caused the former officer to sputter in embarrassment.
“Wh-what?! I can't… he's right… I couldn't possibly,” the young vampire stammered, avoiding looking at the pair across from her.
“Police Girl, your embarrassment is adorable,” Alucard husked out, relaxing slightly but not removing his hold from the woman in his arms. This only caused the embarrassed female to stutter more. The elder vampire smirked for a few seconds before slowly releasing Max and pushing her to her feet.
“Would you mind giving us a few moments alone?” he purred, keeping his burning gaze locked solely on his spawn. Maxine opened her mouth to protest when she saw the severe look the male was giving his Childe. It was the look of one that noticed a serious transgression and needed to take measures to correct it.
“I'll be out in the hall, come get me when you're done,” the soldier sighed, giving Seras one last worried look before leaving the room and shutting the door.
Alucard closed the small distance between himself and his Childe in two swift steps, his orangeish red eyes staring at her in a very examining way. “You are regularly feeding as well as doing well at controlling your growing power but you still lack control over your demon,” he sighed, earning a confused look from the all too innocent vampiress.
“My demon?” she asked in an unsure, frightened voice, a hand coming up to rest over her unbeating heart. The look in her eyes told him she knew what he was talking about but feared it greatly.
“Yes my precious Childe, the darker, more feral part of yourself. A part that so easily slips out when you are angered or in danger,” the powerful creature replied patiently, reaching forward to touch her cheek with light fingertips.
“I don't remember anything when I'm like that. Is that what happened? Did I try to hurt Max?” Seras asked in a rush, panic and guilt filling her in a flood. If she had tried to hurt the other female, she would be in a lot of trouble from not only Alucard but Integra and Walter as well.
“No my little Police Girl but your demon did come to play for a second. Seems you harbor some hidden feelings for me,” purred the powerful demon, moving his gloved hand to the back of her head. Seras, of course, went a flattering shade of crimson.
“F-feelings?! Oh God. I-I…,” she began, stopping when she saw the patient smirk on his pale face.
“Do not try to deny them, I can smell your desires as plain as day,” Alucard sighed, his eyes slipping closed as he inhaled deeply. When his orbs opened, they held a slightly blood red tinge.
“Master, I…,” she tried again, shame tinging her voice. Then his hand was tightening painfully in the short hair on the back of her head as he brought his face to within inches of hers.
“I know you are in there, listening like a frightened hound. Come out my little wildcat, we must speak,” growled the elder vampire, ebony taking over the red in his burning eyes.
“Y-you're hurting me, the draculina whispered in a confused voice as blood tinted tears began to fill her expressive eyes.
“I know my precious Childe but your demon simply must stop hiding like a coward. I will have to force her forward if she does not come willingly,” Alucard rumbled, sounding comforting despite his ever tightening grip on her spiky locks.
Seras' wide eyes suddenly snapped shut and a low, submissive sounding noise escaped her as her entire energy changed. “There you are,” the leather clad demon purred, releasing his grip slightly as her pure midnight eyes slowly slid open.
“Sire,” came a darker, rougher voice rumbling from the blonde's chest.
“Hush now. You will listen to me,” the vampire snarled, his voice commanding as his own eyes turned black to match hers. The much younger demon of the female shrank back in fear of her progenitor, another submissive sound escaping her as she instinctually bent her head to the side to expose her neck. Seeing her frightened like this made the older male react rather instinctually as well, nuzzling into her neck to comfort her.
“There, there little one. I forgot you are so young. More like a teenager. Yet you know that is no excuse for your behavior tonight,” he rumbled against her skin, giving the cool surface a couple comforting licks.
“While I appreciate your attention, I will not tolerate a threat to my mate. Not even from my beloved Childe,” the creature rasped, giving her neck a harsh bite for emphasis; making the shaking spawn give a gasp of fear.
“You will always have my heart little one. You were the first I've made in centuries. The last surviving Childe and likely to remain the last,” Alucard continued, pulling away from her neck to give her forehead an almost fatherly kiss.
“Will you be able to control yourself around Maxine?” the dark creature asked, his voice holding a deadly edge as his endless gaze locked with hers. Biting her lip, the much younger nosferatu nodded her head slowly; drawing an approving purr from her sire.
“Good girl. Now allow yourself to awaken again,” Alucard commanded, his hold on her growing more gentle; almost that of a lover. Then she was slumping in his hold, his arms the only things keeping her on her feet.
It felt like coming through a haze of bloodlust and instincts, making Seras' head swim dizzily as she came back to herself. “Are you well?” came a concerned rumble from mere inches in from of her, making the blonde jolt back in the tight hold around her waist.
“M-master?” the young draculina asked in a confused voice as her vision slowly cleared.
“Indeed Police Girl. Are you able to stand?” the elder vampire asked as he gradually came into focus.
“I… I think so,” the blue clad demon whispered unsurely, swaying slightly as her sire cautiously let her go.
“Oooo, I feel as if I was given spiked blood,” she groaned, pressing a tan gloved hand to her forehead as she sank slowly into her only chair.
“We may need to have you drink my blood sooner rather than later,” Alucard sighed, striding to the door to summon Max back into the small room.
“Wh-what?” Seras gasped out as the soldier slowly came back into the room. Max only looked at the pair with confusion and resumed her position on the blonde's bed.
“You and your demon are not communicating properly. When that part of you comes forward, it is almost like an entirely different being. Such a disparity is unacceptable,” Alucard explained, only serving in making both females feel more confused.
With as much as she knew about vampires, Maxine knew admittedly little about the demons. She had seen a wide variety of different ones, ranging from almost completely like an animal to merely being a more powerful, more instinct driven part of the same personality. What Alucard was saying made it sound like the last one was the norm and something every vampire should strive for. As if sensing the confusion, the former Prince merely grinned patiently. “A vampire's demon is merely us at our most basic. Without a conscience or any patience. It should be just another part of ourselves, not an entirely different personality,” he explained further, smirking at the horrified look on his Childe's face.
“Do you… do you think me not being a full vampire could be hindering my communication with that part of me?” Seras asked in a small, timid voice, staring down at her table when the pair looked at her.
“Either that or you are still in denial about your true nature,” Alucard replied, walking back towards Maxine and sitting next to her. One of his long arms came up to wrap around her shoulder, pulling her tight against his side.
Looking up at him with an embarrassed glare, Max noticed a strange look cross over Seras' face once again. It almost looked as if the blonde had become someone else for a second, her pose going into a submissive but jealous posture. Then it suddenly all made sense and the warrior was torn between wanting to hide and wanting to try to defuse the situation. Unfortunately the decision was taken from her hands as Alucard got to his feet and released an utterly terrifying sound. 'Seras' flinched, her dark gaze going up to him with guilt and apology written all over her face. “I won't harm her sire,” the darkness wearing the blonde's skin hissed in an inhuman voice, bowing her head in submission.
Nodding, the powerful male resumed his spot next to Maxine and pulled her tight against him once more. Making a small noise, the feral Seras crawled forward like a submissive dog; keeping her shark-like gaze turned away from the pair in a show of good intentions. The suit wearing warrior kept a wary eye on the wild female, ready to run or defend herself at any moment but so far the Childe had been nothing but contrite. “I wish to swear my allegiance to my sire's intended. I swear to defend you with my life,” the thing in human guise whispered, baring her neck submissively to the two of them. Max jolted in place, giving Alucard a panicked look.
This was another part of vampire behavior she wasn't wildly familiar with. Raoul had never held a coven but he had taught her what he knew. All of this seemed very animalistic and she found herself at a loss for the right course of action. Thankfully, Alucard was right there and took her hand in a gentle grip. “Place your hand on her neck,” he encouraged, placing the hand he held in the proper position. Seras let out a small purr at the contact, making the elder vampire grin while Max nearly jolted out of her skin.
“Now what?” she asked in a quiet voice, doing her best to get rid of her nervousness from the strangeness of the situation.
“Tell her you accept her allegiance and that she may see herself as on the same level as you,” the male beside her rasped in her ear, his nearly crimson gaze watching her closely. Maxine nearly collapsed in relief, never really feeling comfortable with any form of servitude. It was bad enough that Walter did it without Seras acting the same way. In the small time she had known the blonde, she more felt like a sister or a good friend. To have her act like a submissive dog all the time would be way too weird.
“I accept your allegiance Seras Victoria but do not feel the need to lower yourself to me. We are sisters, not master and servant,” Max stated in her commander voice, sighing inwardly in relief as the blonde slowly got to her feet.
“Sisters, do you truly see me as such?” the female asked, wonder and hope tinging her voice as Seras slowly began to resurface.
“You're a sweet girl Seras and I could certainly use a close friend,” the warrior offered, a smile on her pale face as the draculina's eyes began to regain their normal color.
“Yes! I was so worried you weren't going to like me. You have no idea what it's been like with no other women here at all to talk to,” the exuberant female gushed rushing forward and nearly tackling the older woman in a tight hug.
“Oh I think I can imagine,” Max chuckled, remembering her years in basic as well as in service. It was exceedingly rare to find another female, let alone one that wanted to make friends. Alucard, who had been watching the exchange closely, smirked in response.
As if remembering herself, the former police woman pulled away with an embarrassed but happy grin. Then that grin disappeared as she remembered what happened before. “I went funny again, didn't I?” she asked in a quiet, fear filled voice.
“I'm afraid so Police Girl,” the other nosferatu replied in a soft, reassuring rumble.
“I don't like blanking out like that, especially with something like that inside me. I need to have some semblance of control over myself when that happens, I need to know what's going on,” the blonde whispered in a small, scared tone.
Maxine watched this small interaction with a growing realization. Seras was about to ask her sire to allow her to become a full fledged No-Life Queen, something that was very intimate and private. Feeling a bit like an intruder, the warrior slowly snuck to the door and let herself out. Once she was out of the room, she felt a slight, unpleasant pang of jealousy in her heart. Rubbing the skin over the offending organ, the suit wearing female did her best to shake away the unwelcome feeling. Alucard was a vampire and vampires often had more than one female they were close to. There were mated pairs that acted more like husband and wife but even those males still had a small harem.
In vampire society, the harem was more meant for the care of both husband as well as wife. The cluster of females were usually friendly or subservient to the female. The companions were never strangers either. Usually they were the male's former spawn that had grown close to him, something that happened often with females. The Sire/Childe connection was very intense, often forging strong bonds that would never be broken. Raoul, in all the time she had known him, had never made a Childe but he had in the past. He had companions once, even one he was considering for a mate. Unfortunately, they had died long before he had taken her in.
From the looks of it, Alucard was highly considering two females already. One he had already turned while the other was unlikely to ever accept his proposal. While it was apparent she was more than a companion, Max couldn't help but wonder how well she would handle sharing the creature. She had never been in the position of having a relationship before, let alone having to deal with one where her partner would be naturally inclined to be unfaithful to her. No, that wasn't fair. While the powerful demon would be having sex with the other females, his heart would always be hers. Sighing, she tried to shrug it off as she went upstairs to see if Integra needed her. She would deal with these things as they came and no sooner.
Alucard had certainly noticed when Max had left but he kept his focus on his Childe. In all honesty, he was glad she had given them their privacy. What was about to happen was very sacred to a Sire and their Childe. “Seras Victoria, I offer you a most precious gift,” he sighed in a raspy voice as a claw tore through the leather of his glove. Then he was running the thick nail over his white skin, slicing through easily and drawing his deep red blood to the surface. This drew a ragged growl from the spiky haired blonde as deep crimson took over her irises. Then she came back to herself with a jolt, fear in her red rimmed eyes.
“Do not be afraid. Drink of me my Childe and claim your birthright,” he sighed, staying perfectly still while his blood ran down his neck.
Slowly, tentatively, Seras prowled forward; her breath leaving in ragged pants as she got closer. She could smell the richness of his blood, the power and it made a burning, pulsing desire slowly begin to coil within her lower belly. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, the fledgling leaned forward and latched onto the flowing wound. As soon as the fluid met her lips, her eyes shot open and filled with midnight as her arms came up to grasp at the taller male like he was her only anchor. Memories that weren't hers flooded her mind along with immense power. Power that made her skin tingle.
A groan of pleasure left the pair in unison as the scent of lust and blood became thick in the room. “Seras,” Alucard husked in her ear, his arms coming up to wrap around her in a loose but passion filled embrace. Then his slightly rough tongue was running along her neck in return and she very nearly melted. Whimpering against her Sire's skin, the former police officer continued to draw his hot, rich blood into herself; slowly watching his memories play before her eyes. Memories of far before Hellsing, of far before being a vampire. Memories of a woman who looked like Max, a woman who had taught him what true love felt like.
Pulling away with a gasp, the blonde clutched her head as power and darkness welled within her small body. Her new powers fairly burst from her skin, forming into black tentacles that resembled her former master's. “Easy Seras. These powers are yours to control. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and take hold of them,” urged a throaty voice in her ear as Alucard became a living mass of shadow and enveloped her. Closing her eyes, the draculina did as her Sire suggested and found she was easily able to gain control over the surging energy.
“Congratulations,” sighed a satisfied sounding rasp, the feeling of hands briefly on her skin as an invisible pair of lips pressed to her forehead. The new No-Life Queen could only lean into the touch like a needy kitten, the feeling of sheer want turning into burning need.
To her disappointment and relief, Alucard reformed in front of her; a look of hunger on his noble face. Releasing a ragged sigh, he clenched his gloved hands into fists and bowed before the now full vampire. “As much as I would love to continue with the bonding, I cannot at this moment. I will not claim a consort before I have claimed my mate,” he whispered in an apologetic baritone before merely disappearing from the room, leaving behind a confused and very shocked Seras. Sighing, the blonde smoothed her bangs out of her now sunset colored eyes and sat in her chair. A part of her was glad he was gone but another part of her was a bit jealous of Maxine.
Growling in frustration, the young vampiress rested her elbows on her table and placed her cool forehead into her gloved hands. What the Hell was getting into her lately? It was like some part of her was subconsciously drawn to her master on a level that both made her uncomfortable and excited. Alucard was handsome after all, anyone could see that but he honestly scared her. He was so old and powerful. Every time he was displeased with her it had felt like her very soul had been terrified of him. Who was she to even get the notion in her head that she was in his league romantically. Surely a being like him would want a much older, more experienced vampire. Sighing, Seras settled for glaring at her table while her body took its sweet time coming down from the raging inferno it had been at.
