Chapter 15:
– Tonks –
Tonks felt a bit guilty for showing up so late. Who knew that McGonagall could be so chatty? Then again, maybe the older witch was just worried about everything happening in the wizarding world. Either way, it took nearly an hour of polite nodding and conversation before Tonks finally managed to escape and follow Valerie and Seras's trails into the Forbidden Forest.
And when she arrived, she was completely unprepared for what she found.
Dead centaurs—at least a dozen of them. And over a hundred large, gruesome spider corpses scattered everywhere, splattered across the forest floor. The place looked like a battleground. Valerie and Seras were both leaned over a corpse, which Tonks figured was their target: Regis Phenex. The two vampires looked completely disheveled, their clothes shredded, and she was surprised to see Seras drinking blood willingly.
Judging by the state of their outfits, they must've been in a seriously intense battle. A small part of Tonks regretted missing out on the action; then again, maybe it was for the best. Valerie and Seras both had powerful healing factors. Hers, as a metamorphmagus, was nowhere near the level needed to survive a battle with a hundred massive, deadly creatures.
Valerie lifted her head from the corpse, blood dripping from her lips, and smiled at Seras. "Congrats on becoming a true vampire, Seras. It's not quite human blood, but devil blood is close enough."
Seras pulled her head back from the other side of the corpse's neck, blood also staining her lips. Her eyes, which had once been a clear blue, now glowed a sharp red. "I feel really good," she said, a bit dazed. "I don't know why I was so hesitant to drink before."
She tilted her head and looked Valerie over with an almost dreamy expression. "Wow, you're really beautiful, Valerie."
Valerie chuckled, dabbing at the blood on her lips. "Thanks, Seras, but I think you're a bit blood drunk."
Tonks cleared her throat to get their attention, and two pairs of unnaturally red eyes snapped toward her, making her gulp. "Hey, you two… how'd it go?" she asked, trying to sound casual.
Valerie pouted as she stood up, and Tonks felt her cheeks flush. Valerie's outfit was a mess, completely shredded and smeared with blood and spider guts, but somehow, her curves were still perfectly on display. Tonks knew she usually went for men, but... damn, Valerie was making her rethink things.
"My eyes are up here, Tonks," Valerie teased, and Tonks blushed, caught in the act of staring.
"Right… sorry. And sorry for being so late. McGonagall turned into quite the talker," she mumbled, awkwardly scratching the back of her head. "What happened to the devil princess?"
"If you mean Ravel, she left right after the battle. Clearly never been in a real fight before, but her bloodline kept her alive and came in handy against the endless horde of giant spiders." Valerie suddenly threw up her hands. "Speaking of which, why the hell are there giant spiders right next to a school for kids!?"
Tonks scratched her cheek awkwardly. "Because… Hagrid…"
Seras growled, wrapping a protective arm around Valerie's shoulder. "Whoever this Hagrid guy is, I'm going to shoot him in the dick if I see him! Do you have any idea what it feels like to be bitten by dozens of toxic giant spiders… it fucking hurts!"
Yeah… Tonks figured it probably would. "I imagine you both want a shower. How about I Apparate us back to Hellsing Manor?" She glanced down at the devil's corpse. "Do we need to bring the body?"
"Nah," Valerie said with a shrug. "Ravel will spread the news that he's dead. We'll leave him for whatever other monsters this forest decides to throw at him next. Let's get out of here before we find out."
Tonks grabbed both Seras and Valerie's hands and, with a twist, Apparated them back to the familiar, safer surroundings of Hellsing Manor.
– Valerie –
I gave Seras a quick kiss on the cheek before we headed our separate ways to clean up. As I walked down the halls, the soldiers gave me a wide berth, covering their noses as I passed. I couldn't blame them; the smell of spider guts clinging to my shredded outfit was absolutely disgusting. I felt bad for anyone who had to breathe it in.
Once I reached my room, I immediately stripped off the ruined clothes and tossed them straight into the trash. The hot water from the shower felt incredible as it ran over my skin, washing away the grime and filth. I let out a long sigh, feeling the tension and soreness of the fight finally start to fade.
That battle had been closer than I would've liked. I was grateful for the life force I'd drained over the past few months from death row inmates; I'd used up a good chunk of it to heal from those nasty wounds and purge all that damn spider venom from my system. But I'd need to "refill" soon. Shouldn't be a big deal—I'd just have to let Integra know, and she'd have Walter set everything up at the nearest prison. Easy enough.
I spent nearly an hour in the shower, scrubbing every inch of my skin and making sure not a trace of filth was left. As I rinsed out my hair, I heard the bathroom door click open. A glance out of the corner of my eye told me it was Narcissa, my loyal servant. She looked calm and collected, as always, though there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"The soldiers in the manor are already gossiping like schoolgirls," Narcissa said with a slight smirk. "They're saying you and Seras came back from your latest mission in tatters. I saw your ruined clothes on the floor and burned them for you."
"Thanks, Narcissa," I said, letting out a sigh as I tilted my head back, rinsing the last of the soap from my hair. It felt amazing to finally be clean. "We managed to kill the devil that attacked me and send a message to the underworld not to fuck with me, but I wasn't expecting an ambush by centaurs and then giant spiders right after..." I said with a shiver.
I leaned my head back a little more, feeling the water flow over me, knowing that this gave Narcissa a perfect view.
"It's unbecoming of a beautiful lady to use such crass language," she chastised me with a roll of her eyes.
I couldn't help but let out a laugh at her remark. "Beautiful am I?" I repeated her words back to her with a slight smirk.
"Of course you are," Narcissa replied smoothly as she began to slowly remove her own robes. I felt my heartbeat quicken and I unconsciously gulped. Her voluptuous body was on full display, with large breasts that hardly sagged at all despite their size. A small, neatly trimmed patch of blonde hair nestled between her long legs.
Narcissa smirked at me before sauntering forward and hopping into the shower alongside me. "You seem stressed, mistress. Let me help with that," she purred.
I could feel Narcissa's skilled fingers begin to massage my shoulders, working out the knots of tension. The sensation felt incredible, especially with the hot water flowing over our bare skin. I found myself slumping backwards a bit, and my eyes widened in surprise when I realized my back was now pressed against Narcissa's ample chest. Yet she didn't seem to mind at all, continuing to work her magic on my shoulders before trailing her hands down my arms.
"Your skin is so perfect and smooth. I'm jealous," Narcissa whispered in my ear, her warm breath fanning over my damp skin.
"Your hands are really soft and feel really good," I managed to say, my eyes fluttering closed as I lost myself in the pleasurable sensations.
"You're a flatterer," Narcissa chuckled, her voice low and sultry.
"But it's you who has her hands all over my naked body," I whispered back.
I let out a squeak of surprise as Narcissa's hands began to slide lower, massaging my sides. Even though my vampiric healing abilities had already taken away any aches or pains, her touch still felt amazing, like she was smoothing out knots I didn't even know I had. A small moan escaped my lips.
"Oh believe me, I know," Narcissa chuckled behind me. Her hands moved lower, wrapping around my waist as she began kneading the toned muscles of my stomach. I instinctively arched into her touch.
"You're body really is perfection, Valerie," Narcissa purred, her voice low and seductive in my ear. "No girls back in my Hogwarts days were quite as toned as you."
I knew my genes were the main reason I had such a perfect body. But my strong, lean muscles were all from my own hard work in Hellsing training. I took pride in them. And I had to admit, the way Narcissa's fingers danced across my skin sent pleasant tingles racing through me. My pulse sped up even more and my nipples began to stiffen into hard little peaks.
A gasp flew from my lips as Narcissa's hands slid up and closed around my breasts. "I can't forget to massage these now, can I?" she giggled wickedly behind me.
"R-right," I stuttered, my cheeks flushing hot. I let out another soft moan as Narcissa's skilled hands shamelessly groped and squeezed my sensitive breasts.
My eyes flew open wide when I felt Narcissa's lips start to place feather-light kisses along the back of my neck and across my collarbone. This had definitely moved past the point of a normal massage. But then again, it was never going to be a regular massage, not since Narcissa had stepped into the shower with me completely naked.
My thighs clenched together as Narcissa's fingers found my nipples, pinching and caressing the stiff pink buds.
The tingling sensation in my chest started to build as Narcissa continued to play with my nipples, occasionally placing tender kisses on the back of my neck. More and more pleasured moans escaped my lips as she wouldn't stop her sensual ministrations.
"I love the noises you're making... It's been so long since I've heard them," Narcissa purred lustfully in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.
I let out a sharp gasp when I felt one of her hands slip between my legs next. Narcissa's fingers started to slowly rub back and forth across my lower lips. Her thumb gently ran circles around my clit, drawing out my pleasure. I brought my own thumb up to my mouth and bit down hard to cover up the loud, wanton moan that threatened to escape me.
Narcissa just chuckled, the sound rumbling in her chest pressed against my back, and continued to massage my breasts and clit at the same time. My entire body started to shake and tremble in building ecstasy. My legs went weak as I leaned my back further against her firm, ample breasts.
"I've got you, mistress... Go ahead and cum for me," Narcissa commanded softly.
Those words pushed me over the precipice. Her thumb started to flick back and forth across my clit and I felt an explosive orgasm ripple through my body, making me cry out loudly. "I'm cumming!"
Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, and not just from the warm water of the shower cascading over us. Narcissa dragged out my pleasure even longer, never ceasing her movements, making me gasp and moan as I spasmed against her for a solid minute.
Finally, I came down from my euphoric high, panting hard with a blissful smile on my face as I slumped down to sit on my ass in the shower. I turned my head and stared up at the naked Narcissa looming over me, smirking down at my satisfied expression.
"I suppose that was a good first lesson," she said smugly, looking very pleased with herself. "Of course, we'll continue more another day, but I'm sure you're tired after the long day you've had."
Narcissa reached down and cupped my chin, leaning in for a tender, loving kiss. I found myself shuddering as our lips touched. She broke the kiss a couple seconds later before saying that she would head out first. With a quick flick of her wand, she was instantly dried off and her robes even started floating in the air to wrap themselves around her.
– Seras –
"So, you drank blood?" Alucard said. His eyes zeroed in on Seras, taking in her now permanently red eyes.
"Yes, Master," Seras admitted. She straightened her back, trying not to let her nerves show. "I sustained a lot of injuries, and I don't think I would have survived without it. Valerie insisted, and I didn't want to make her sad…" She felt a flush of embarrassment heat her cheeks as she admitted that last part.
Alucard's smirk widened as he took a leisurely sip from the wine glass filled with dark, rich blood. "Devil blood for your first drink. You're lucky, Police Girl. It's a rare delicacy, full of potent dark magic. Those little bats are quite a treat."
Seras shuddered at the memory, a tingle running down her spine. She hadn't mentioned it to Valerie, but the rush she felt while feeding on Regis had left her more than a little aroused. By the time Tonks had shown up, she'd been so worked up that she was on the verge of pouncing on Valerie right there in the middle of the woods!
Seras had to masturbate multiple times in the bath once they got home to calm herself down.
"So, what now, Master?" she asked, hoping to change the subject and keep her voice steady.
Alucard's grin widened, showing his sharp teeth. "Now, Police Girl, it's time for you and my dear daughter to begin training properly. You need to learn how to truly wield your vampiric powers." His eyes glinted with a hint of something wicked. "And I assure you, it's going to be quite entertaining... for me, at least."
Seras gulped. She hadn't been with Hellsing for very long, but she knew enough to realize that her master was, without a doubt, a sadist. The training was going to be brutal, but a thrill of anticipation ran through her. She wanted to become stronger, to protect Valerie, to make herself into more than just the "Police Girl." If that meant dealing with Alucard's twisted sense of fun, then so be it.
"Understood, Master," she said.
– Alice –
Alice was a nobody, just a regular maid for the Phenex family—or at least, that's what they thought. She kept her head down, did her duties, and blended in perfectly. But in reality, she was a spy, working for the most powerful of the Maou, Lady Lucifer herself. The crimson Maou of Destruction, Sylvana Lucifer, formerly Sylvana Gremory…
Everyone in the underworld knew Sylvana's love for her younger sister, Rias, and how furious both sisters were over Rias's engagement to Riser Phenex.
So when Alice stood quietly in the corner of the Phenex drawing room, listening in on Ravel Phenex's report to her parents, she knew this was important. Ravel looked exhausted, her usually neat appearance very ruffled and tense. Her voice trembled slightly as she recounted the events of her day.
"The daughter of Dracula!?" Lady Phenex gasped, her eyes wide with shock. Alice could see her grip tighten on her husband's arm.
Lord Phenex nodded slowly, his expression a mixture of concern and cautious relief. "You did the right thing, Ravel," he told his daughter. "Casting Regis out of the family was a smart move and didn't cost us anything in the long run. He was barely mid-class at best, even after years of training and resources. Better to cut our losses."
Ravel swallowed hard. "I… also had to give Valerie Tepes a favor. No strings attached." She looked anxious, waiting for her parents' reactions.
Lady and Lord Phenex exchanged a tense glance, their mouths set in tight lines. Alice could tell they weren't thrilled with the idea, but after a pause, they seemed to dismiss it. They probably figured Valerie Tepes would ask for something typical, like money or some of the precious Phenex tears.
But Alice knew better. This was huge. The daughter of Dracula had managed to get a favor out of the notoriously stingy Phenex family.
And this wasn't just any favor… It was practically one with no limits.
It could even be used to break the engagement between Riser and Rias Gremory! Sylvana would be beyond pleased to hear this! The whole reason Alice had been granted a fake identity and placed inside the Phenex Household was to try and uncover something that could break the marriage.
Alice kept her face perfectly neutral as she turned and left the room, her mind racing. She needed to send this information to Lady Lucifer immediately. This was the kind of news that would earn her a generous reward, and she wasn't about to waste any time!
