Chapter Thirty-Three: Fourth Month Insanity

As the month wore on and Maxine didn't awaken, Alucard became more and more violent towards visitors. He was even starting to lash out at Walter for merely handing over his blood ration, making the nearly feral demon very dangerous to be around. Unfortunately, none of this seemed to help the ailing female. Despite a few days of unexplained health, she had quickly slipped back into illness; her weight rapidly dropping despite all their best efforts. Now it was impossible for them to even run tests, her very protector accidentally killing her slowly. “Sir Integra, we have to restrain Alucard,” Walter whispered, breaking the distressed heiress out of her thoughts.

“I know but I was hoping there would be another way. You realize that if I do this, I will effectively lose any trust he had for me?” the platinum haired femme whispered, her voice full of heartbreak as she cradled her face in her hands; her elbows resting on the dark wood of her desk.

“What choice do we have? We have to run tests to figure out what's wrong or we risk losing Ms. Stone and her unborn child. Do you really want to see what Alucard will do if that happens?” the aging servant responded, his blue eyes shining with the same reluctance and guilt.

“No, but… Dammit Walter, why do I always have to be the bad guy? It's not his fault he's worried out of his mind. If I was in his place, I would be acting the same way,” the tan clad femme hissed, a cigarillo clamped tightly between her teeth as tears rolled down her marble cheeks.

“Me too,” the graying male sighed as he began to rub her tense upper back.

Sighing heavily, the weary commander was getting to her feet before giving the butler a pleading glance. “Come with me Walt and pray that Miss Victoria doesn't decide to interfere,” she whispered. Then she was leading the way out of the room, growing more and more apprehensive the further she went. Ever since Alucard had regained his memories, he had seemed different; almost as if the runes on him weren't as effective as she thought. Shuddering at the idea, the Hellsing heiress could only hope that wasn't the case. If it was, they were in a lot of trouble.

As they approached the closed door that led to his chambers, the pair stopped; grimacing at the wisps of shadow puffing out from the bottom. “Alucard!” Integra called, not wanting to provoke the demon further by even opening the door.

“Get. Away!” snarled an inhuman voice that sounded like a chorus of demons melded together.

“We need to see Maxine. If we don't find out what's wrong with her, they could both die,” she tried to reason, only earning a vicious snarl for her efforts. Then a large, inky black spot began to spread on the metal door, the creature's distorted features beginning to phase through to glare at them.

His face had turned into that of a demon dog's, several red eyes dotting his forehead. His black lips were lifted away from his jagged fangs and longs strings of drool seeped from his mouth. An unearthly noise bubbled up from his chest as the shadowy nightmare continued to pull himself free. “Alucard, please! We only want to help,” Integra tried again, ignoring her instincts screaming at her to run away. Walter immediately placed himself between her and the danger, flashing his wires as the crazed nosferatu continued to come.

“Please don't make me do this,” the silver haired femme begged before beginning to concentrate on the pulse of magic coming from the runes on his gloves. Murmuring words that had been taught to her by both her father and grandfather, the young heiress winced as she watched the proud creature collapse to the floor.

Releasing a noise of sheer defiance, the transforming beast glared up at his keeper; an old hatred burning in his crimson eyes. “I'm sorry Vlad. I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. Maybe one day you will see I did this for your own good,” she whispered, before closing her eyes and continuing the recitation. With a roar of denial, the former noble was teleported to his old chamber in the dungeons; the unused strips of leather binding him into a sitting position once more.

*“Catea nenorocita! Ce ai de gând să faci să se împerecheze și copilul meu!” the beast hissed through their connection, his aura flaring a bright red as he struggled against the runes and the bonds.

“We're going to help them!” Integra snarled out loud, tears flowing down her white cheeks freely as she flung open the door to run down the stairs. Walter only had a moment to process what happened before he sprinted ahead of his mistress to open the second door. The sight that greeted them only cemented their resolve that they had made the right decision.

Max lay unconscious under the red sheets, looking more like a skin covered skeleton than a living person. Her normally white skin now held a grayish tinge and her breathing came in short, shuddery spurts. “Get her upstairs immediately and get her hooked up to a few IVs. Even include a blood transfusion! Until we find out how to help her, we're going to throw everything at her until something sticks,” the Hellsing heir ordered, turning to keep an eye on the door as her servant bent to pick up the ghost of a warrior. It was no surprise to anyone when Seras phased through the floor, followed closely by Pip running through the still open door.

At first the blonde released a low snarl due to seeing Walter holding her coven sister. Then the blue clad female was shaking herself before turning her worried gaze to the tan clad commander. “I'm so sorry! I don't know what… Are you guys going to help her?” the young vampiress apologized, sinking to her knees to bow to the taller woman.

“Quite alright Miss Victoria. At least you were able to remember we're not your enemies in time. Yes, we're going to be running a few harmless tests to see how we can best help. Until we figure it out, we're just going to throw everything we can at her,” the stern femme replied, nodding at the brown haired mercenary as he came to stand beside his undead lover.

“Sounds like a good plan,” Pip replied as the castle shook violently around them, causing the candles to flicker.

“What was that?” the mercenary gasped, staggering on his feet as pieces of the ceiling crumbling down around him.

“My master. He's utterly furious that Sir Integra imprisoned him. The only thing that's keeping him down there at all is the fact they haven't injured her,” Seras replied as Walter ran out of the room with the unconscious Maxine.

“We have no plans to injure her Miss Victoria. Follow us upstairs if you like but stay out of the way. From the looks of it, time is of the essence,” the platinum haired femme replied before following after her servant. The spiky haired vampire only hesitated a few seconds before following as well, Pip right on her tail.

Soon the quartet was charging upstairs, Integra shouting orders at the gathering doctors. “Get her hooked up to a blood transfusion! And you, hook her up to a heart monitor,” she snarled, her glasses flashing as the white clad men rushed to fulfill her commands in the small, hospital-like room. Then the too pale female was being laid on the crisp, white sheets, tubes inserted into both arms as she was hooked up to both a saline solution as well as a blood bag holding her type. To the surprise of everyone in the room, as soon as the two fluids met her veins, the emaciated female shot into full awareness.

“Where… where am I?” Max rasped in a dry voice, sitting up slightly as her vision cleared. In a split second, the four were right by her side, each of them trying to soothe her at the same time.

“One at a time, one at a time,” she protested, her skin gaining more and more color each second that passed. Thankfully this caused the small group to become silent at once, allowing her precious time to gather her thoughts.

“Firstly where am I and secondly where is Alucard,” she rasped out in a scratchy voice, gratefully accepting a glass of water from Walter.

“You're in Hellsing's medical facility. It may seem a bit small but we have all of the state of the art equipment. As for where Alucard is… We had to restrain him,” Integra informed, guilt clear in her cerulean eyes.

“What? What happened?” the confused female asked before she got a really good look at herself. Even though her weight was returning rapidly, she could still see the effects on her body and she grimaced.

“Wait. Don't answer that. I think I can figure it out. I'm guessing I passed out soon after I returned and have been out for some time. Because of this, Vlad started to go insane with worry; slipping more and more into irrational behavior. I'm also going to guess that because of this little development, my health began to decline and he wasn't allowing anyone near. In the end, he probably had to be restrained in the dungeons,” the rejuvenating female sighed before sending a quick mental message to her mate to confirm her suspicions.

“I'm afraid so. What my grandfather did to him didn't help his lack of trust for us, needless to say,” the older commander sighed, watching Max's recovery with interest.

'Vlad? I'm okay,' the bedridden soldier soothed through their connection, only getting a burst of rage and indignation in her head for her efforts.

“Phooo, he's pissed,” she hissed out loud, rubbing her now throbbing temples as she smiled at the heiress to show she had heard what had been said.

“You don't have to tell me that. I can feel him as clearly as you can. I doubt much can be said to calm him down at this point. The only reason he's still down there is they haven't tried to hurt you yet. Despite how insane he's become, some part of him is still loyal to Sir Integra,” Seras informed with a grimace, rubbing her own temples.

“Well, with all my important questions answered, I have something significant to tell you. Due to that beast kidnapping me, I found out how to help myself. The answer is really simple once you think about it. All I needed was to ingest some human blood,” Max declared, giggling slightly when everyone in the room performed a collective face-palm. Even Alucard froze down in the dungeon, a feeling of shock coming from the mighty creature.

“Well that explains why the blood transfusion seems to be helping you way more than it should,” the Hellsing heir sighed, looking slightly aggravated with herself as she took a deep drag off a new cigarillo.

“Uh, you shouldn't smoke in here ma'am,” a lab coat wearing doctor tried to admonish the tan clad femme, only getting a glare for his troubles. Making a strange noise, the thin male scampered away from the intimidating commander; drawing a giggle from the pregnant soldier watching the scene.

Chuckling while heaving a sigh, Max placed a hand on her distended stomach. She now looked around seven to eight months along and her growing child kicked her hand in response, making her smile despite the sadness growing within her chest. As much as she longed to have her mate by her side, it was far too dangerous for everyone to let him loose until she had given birth. If anything happened, Heaven only knew what the monster would do in response. “You can't let him out,” she stated, shocking her trio of friends.

“I'm sorry Max but you're right. He's too far gone. As you said earlier, he wouldn't even let us near you despite your poor condition. If it hadn't been for the runes on his gloves, you and your unborn child would be dead by now,” Walter replied, sounding guilty as he came to stand beside his lover. The warrior only nodded, giving the doctors working on her IVs a grateful smile.

“Don't worry, now that we know for sure what's wrong with you; we'll unhook you from all of this stuff. We'll leave the blood bag until it's finished,” one of them assured as the others began to pull off sensors and remove tubes from her arms.

Soon she was free of all machines, feeling and looking better each second the transfusion blood dripped into her veins. Still, despite the relief she felt about her recovery; she felt lonely. This would be the first time she would be separated from her mate in a long time. Feeling a soothing touch brush her rounded stomach, Maxine gave a small smile. Even if he wasn't present, he would still be there in a way. “At least it's only for a little longer,” she sighed, shifting her gaze to look at her company. Seras and Integra grimaced in response, each looking a variant of nervous. The pregnancy had been rocky enough, Lord only knew what was going to happen during the birth.

“I would like to move you back into your old room for the time being. It'll be easier for my doctors to get to you when the time comes,” Integra informed, her glasses flashing briefly to hide her expression.

“I agree. Being down in that dungeon could only prove to be dangerous,” the weary warrior agreed, smiling at the nurse that removed the blood bag.

Down in the lonely dungeon, Alucard ceased his struggles as he allowed his mind to clear for the first time in months. Now that Maxine was doing much better, it was a lot easier for him to think rationally. His paranoid behavior had very nearly caused the deaths of his long searched for soulmate and unborn child, a fact that frightened him badly. He was supposed to be taking care of her, not causing her to get worse. Thoroughly disgusted with himself, the ancient demon couldn't agree more with the decision to keep him chained until she had gave birth. Even now, he could feel the press of his instincts in the back of his head, the drive to tear her away from the humans and take her far away until their child was born. The only thing that kept the lurking darkness at bay was his strong connection with her. Even though he wasn't with her physically, it sure felt like it.

Closing his glowing eyes, the mighty creature extended his consciousness to his mate as they helped her move. Even though she couldn't see him, he was with her every step of the way; seeing everything through her eyes. 'You seem much better,' he rumbled in a relieved voice, one of his phantom hands touching the swell of her stomach. To his relief, the depressed female smiled warmly before leaning her head to one side as if longing to rub her cheek along hers. Purring deeply, the incorporeal copy of Alucard pressed his cheek against hers as he cradled her with his body. To the bonded pair, it truly felt as if they were touching one another; giving them both immeasurable comfort.

'I will be doing much better once I'm back in your arms,' she responded quietly, wishing to actually feel his cool flesh against hers. The barely conscious creature purred out loud in response, placing a ghostly kiss on her cheek as she entered her old room.

“We left everything as you had it. Don't worry about your clothes. Walter will move your things up momentarily,” Integra announced, breaking into the internal conversation and causing the heavily pregnant soldier to stagger on her feet.

“Thanks Integra. Would all of you mind vacating for a bit? I would like to be alone to process everything that's happened,” Max requested quietly, her emerald eyes pleading for understanding. Thankfully her four companions nodded and left, giving her some much needed time to herself.

Sighing, the still recovering warrior sat on her old bed before concentrating on her bond with her mate once more. Alucard responded with a gruff, affectionate sound, shades of kisses pressing to her pale skin as phantom hands roamed on the dome of her tummy. 'Lay down. I know you are feeling better but it would help me relax,' rasped his voice in her ear as the appendages moved up to her shoulders to urge her to lay back.

'Alright. Lay with me?' she asked shyly, complying with a small sigh. She knew it wouldn't really be him curling up around her but it would feel real enough to matter.

'Of course my love,' he rasped in her mind as ghostly, leather covered arms wrapped around her and an incorporeal nose burrowed itself in her ebony hair.

Rumbling softly, the mighty demon pet her lovingly as he licked her cheek lovingly. 'I am so relieved to see you're okay,' he whispered, his hands moving to cradle her blossoming womb. Max moaned softly, feeling a faint, familiar tingle begin to start between her legs.

'Are you getting aroused my beloved?' came a half amused, half shocked response as the hands began to move southward.

'It has been quite a while since I felt well enough to fool around. I only wish…,' she responded wryly, smirking at his responding chuckle as a phantom hand easily phased through her pants.

'Shhh, do not wish for things that cannot be. Just lay back and allow me to make you feel good,' rasped the dark being as not quite there fingers touched her dampening folds.

“Vlad,” she sighed out loud, wishing desperately she could wrap her arms around something as she felt sparks of pleasure race through her veins. The responding snarl only caused the heat building within her to spike, drawing a heated moan from her quivering lips.

'Try to use your bond to find my body. Wrap your arms around my shoulders,' urged a demonic sounding rumble as gentle but wispy claws entered her slick passage.

Panting heavily, Maxine concentrated on their connection, easily seeing her bound mate in her mind's eye. 'Don't concentrate on what you see! It is a necessary evil! Concentrate on how I'm making you feel and wrap you arm around me,' came a gruff order, the shadowy King easily sensing her growing rage and indignation on his behalf.

'I'm sorry I just…,' she began before getting a determined expression on her face and moving forward to wrap her arms around the restrained male. The moment she felt him in her arms, no matter how incorporeal she was, everything else ceased to matter.

'We have only been separated mere moments but I already crave your touch,' Alucard sighed in a raspy voice, his fingers beginning to slowly tease her pearl. Moaning heatedly into his ear, Max found her spiritual self straddling the demon's strap covered lap as the coil within her tightened slowly.

'I wish I could be there to actually hear your pleasure, to feel your juices flowing over my fingers, to smell the sweet smell of your arousal as I bring you ever closer to satisfaction,' the infernal creature hissed heatedly, his aura glowing a deep red as his nostrils flared to catch any hint of her delicious scent.

'Vlad, fuck. I'm not going to last much longer,' Max gasped, her inner walls beginning to quiver as she ground her incorporeal self against her lover.

'Then cum for me, give me your pleasure,' the mighty being ordered, his ghostly fingers moving on her expertly as he released a possessive sound. Moaning, the soldier pressed kisses to his skin with phantom lips as she slowly tipped over the edge; orgasming powerfully. So powerfully she lost concentration over the connection and found herself back in the arms of a shade. Releasing a small sob, the distraught female curled into the not there chest as arms wrapped around her.

'Shhh, we will be together again before you know it,' Alucard assured, purring and petting her gently until his overwrought mate fell into a deep sleep.

*Translation: 'You fucking bitch! What are you going to do to my mate and child!'
