Chapter 11: The Girl Is Mine

Amaris groaned in frustration when her back slammed against the blue mat, again. This time however, she sighed heavily. Seras seeing no signs of the girl attempting to get up. The vampire felt badly for the young huntress, something was obviously off.

She bit her lower lip, "Um... Amaris?" Seras spoke hesitantly "Is everything alright? You seem a little distracted".

Amaris closed her eyes, "No" she lied "It's nothing to worry about". The girl forced her body up again, getting into position, telling the blonde vampire she began again.

Seras's eyes gave away her emotions of feeling pity for Amaris, it irritated the younger one. She hated others pitying her for reasons that are beyond her control. It made no sense to feel despair in such a manner for someone and misfortunes.

The sound of her cell phone beep cut between them, with a huff she reaches into her pocket to retrieve the device. Not really caring the vampire before her was staring with patience. Brown eyes scanned the screen to see she received a message, Amaris then realized it was from the boy at the function her sister partially ordered to attend. Seras witnessed an expression in the girl's features that she had yet seen before.

Indifference.

Amaris sighed, "Damn. I forgot that I made plans with a friend". She tucked the device back into her pocket "I'll see you later Seras", the young Hellsing practically calling their training session to an end.

Seras watched the girl with saddened eyes as she left the room. Feeling helpless that she couldn't provide only support and a ear to her friend. Issues with her vampire master, she couldn't or didn't have the ability to intervene. "Oh dear..." the blonde whispered to herself.

Months had gone by since the night of the party, it neared Christmas. Snow covered the grounds to create a blanket of pure white on the mansion grounds. Amaris often found herself staring in a daze at the winter wonderland scene, being reminded of her memories back in North America. It seemed like so long ago with all that had been going on with her.

An obvious distance grew between Alucard and her because of the events from that night. Sure it bothered her, even made her depressed. Guess this is what they call the pains of your first love, she didn't like it. Stomach always felt sickly, appetite seemed non-existent and worst of all, sleep was difficult at night. Amaris hated it when she found her eyes wouldn't feel heavy. Rolling back and forth in a bed that felt too big.

During the daytime, school and Hellsing duties kept her busy. Victoria and her gotten close, she even had visits and outings with Charles, the handsome boy she met at the party. That's who she was going to get ready for. If Amaris could remember, today would mark their fifth date. Well, not really a date per se. The girl didn't know exactly what to label it, Integra called in a date. Walter thought it was a good idea that she'd be around kids her age, Integra agreed.

Alucard made himself invisible to Amaris, only appearing before her if the situation demanded it.

The girl sighed as she inspected herself in the mirror, not really caring much about what to wear. Just throwing on black stockings and a long sweater that stopped mid-thigh, flat knee high boots and the necklace from Camela. She reached a hand to grab her treasured dagger that the girl was never without. Brown eyes scanned the weapon with sad eyes, did she really need it? Charles wouldn't harm her, he would have do so already.

Slender fingers traced the graved symbols, before she grabbing the cell phone instead. She'll be fine.

Amaris headed to the office which she knew Integra would be, a fist knocked on the wooden doors, asking for entry.

"Come in" called the woman's voice.

With a solemn expression, the younger sister opened the door "Hey Integra I-", Amaris paused mid-sentence, her words caught in her throat. Brown eyes widened in surprise to see Alucard standing beside Integra, chest tightened in pitiful aguist. She wanted to leave quickly, "I just wanted to let you know I'm going out to town" the girl explained while averting her vision anywhere but the vampire, whom seemed to share her displeasure.

The Hellsing woman took notice of how the two beings avoided one another. It was entertaining to watch such a prideful vampire like the one siding at her side dance around like a child.

"It is Charles again? You two seem to be getting quite friendly" asked Integra with a smirk, feeling the need to tease both parties.

Amaris groaned, an eye brow twitched in annoyance "Bye Integra" she tried to escape.

"Wait Amaris", not going to happen.

The girls' heart skipped a rapid beat, body heat grew dangerously "What now? I'm going to be late" grumbled an impatient younger sister.

"You made sure to bring your dagger with you, right young lady?" Questioned Integra, knowing the girl far too well.

"Of course I did" lied Amaris without hesitation.

Pale eyes drifted back onto the papers in her hand, seeing no reason to not believe her sister. How wrong she was, to choose now of all times to be lenient "Be home before midnight".

"Duh" Amaris replied smugly with attitude, leaving no room for her older sister to scold as the door closed.

Integra let out a sigh, "And here I thought her rebellious phase was over" commented the Hellsing woman.

Alucard remained silent, not daring or wanting to entertain his master with a response. That only peaked her interest, desiring to know what exactly is going on between her vampire pet and little sister.

The car had brought Amaris to where she had arranged to met with Charles, a quaint little cafe that the boy first took her. She liked it so much it became the spot they often linked at before walking the town.

Beautiful blond hair like the sun and green eyes that resembled her favourite ice cream, mint. His features lit with a smile at seeing her approach him, "Good Afternoon Amaris" he greeted.

For a moment, she felt that heaviness in her chest lift. The girl returned his smile with one of her own "Sorry I'm late, I was studying", she twisted the truth.

"It's alright, I haven't been waiting long" Charles assured her sweetly while gesturing for Amaris to take his arm "Shall we?".

Brown eyes blinked at the stretched out arm, a blush tinted her cheeks and it wasn't because of the winter breeze "Yeah".

The pair wandered around the small city for hours. Visiting shops they liked. Talking about interests and little random things. Amaris forgot what it was like to be a normal human teenager unless she was with Charles. Even though he knew of her family 'business', it didn't give the boy motives to treat her any differently.

It felt, good. To not feel estrange for once. To escape the abnormalities of her life, even if for only a few hours. It was enough.

Soon, the sun was replaced with a full moon and darkness took over. Meaning, the time had come for them to part ways.

"I guess I should be going" Charles sighed playfully drastic, earning a giggle from Amaris.

Her expression saddened, not wanting to go home where she lived with the vampire "Yeah...".

The boy shifted his eyes, glancing their surrounds "Come with me a moment", he said with a mischious look, taking hold of her hand.

"But I really should be going" Amaris tried to voice against whatever wicked little scheme he had in mind.

A smirk curled his lips "Don't worry, just a little bit" he said, leading her into a small crack between buildings.

The girl blinked in confusion to why Charles would take her into some random ally-way in the first place, until it happened.

She froze, unable to process that Charles was kissing her. It was warm and clumsy, completely the opposite to the vampires' cold and experienced movements.

Warmth began to engulf the girl with hidden teenage desire that wanted release. His hands slipped through the slits of her winter coat to grope a breast, causing a gasp from her. The cunning boy took his chance and snaked his tongue passed teeth and into another hot cavern. Amaris let a moan escape into the clumsily exchange, legs began to tremble from arousing stimulation.

Consumed by the heat, Charles pushed the girl unintentionally rough against the wall. A knee placed itself between her thighs, rubbing tenderly into womanly warmth. Making Amaris sing in a series of moans as their kiss became more and more intoxicating.

The young Hellsing didn't want to attempt it, how she liked the harsh treatment. It reminded the girl of how Alucard would handle her body in his monstrous ways. She wanted the boy to become more greedy in his roaming. More aggressive. More. More. More. More.

Slender fingers curled around his boyishly muscular arms to roughly push him back harsh rejection. Forgetting that her strength is more heightened than a normal human, she sent Charles back over five feet in that one shove. Brown eyes widened at the boy in shock of what she did, lips quivered "I... I'm sorry Charles I just".

The boy groaned, fingers rubbed his forehead to shake off the impact side-affects "It's alright Amaris... I didn't realize" he mumbled, trying to shake off the disorientation from her push. Gingerly standing to his feet in fear of collapsing again.

She bit her bottom lip, arms wrapped around herself for comfort and regret. The threat of tears burned her eyes "Me... I'm the problem Charles, believe me, you're so sweet and gentle. Any girl would be lucky to have you" voice blurted, cracked and broken.

Charles arched a brow, "What are you saying Amaris?" he asked with bewilderment in his voice, expression looked to her for answers of the breakup sounding words.

The girl took a deep breath, it was time she be honest. Getting herself hurt was one thing but having an innocent person in the line of fire just to have a distraction didn't sit right with her.

"I'm... I'm in love with someone else" admitted Amaris in a little voice sounding helpless and defeated. The words pained her to the core because the person, the being she came to have feelings for, isn't even human. It's a vampire. What hurt even more, she couldn't say that park of it aloud. It seemed alien to just think about it, let alone actually say it.

Hello teenager life.

Amaris couldn't read his expression. Torn between wanting to be anger, hurt and slightly relieved.

Hurt because of the sudden rejection.

Anger because this girl he'd given so much time and effort into is actually in love with another. Which lead to the possibility of him being a decoy, a distraction.

Relief because he was now free to find someone else who would appreciate his affection and not manipulate it.

"You...You're joking right? Amaris?" desperately asked Charles, his hands grabbing either one of hers. Giving the girl a shake in demand of answers.

She stared at his hurt expression, regretting what she had done instantly "I'm sorry", Amaris said numbly. For some reason, the girl couldn't hear a single word even though his lips were frantically moving. Everything around her seemed to dull itself.

Amaris wasn't completely to blame, she is only eighteen. What does she know about love? About manipulation? About lust? Nothing, other than a handful of experiences given and forced.

Brown eyes watched in blurred teary vision the back of Charles as he storms further and further away. Placing a distance between them that will never be healed. She ruined everything, her chance to obtain something normal like her mother wished. Remaining there until his shape is nothing but snap and cold winter air.

Maybe Integra is finally rubbing off on her.

Amaris sniffed in her second heartbreak. In the cold, alone at night. Yet she didn't feel the chills, just sharp throbs in her chest. The night didn't scare her, loneliness did. The girl dragged her feet, walking aimlessly. Not caring for the time, or possible danger. She wanted to allow the torturing feelings to quickly fade.

The girl walked through a path walled by forest, body seemed to move on auto-pilot. Unable to tell whether it was the brisk chilling air or her broken-heart that caused numbness.

In her innocence, Amaris didn't sense when three males began to stalk her like wolves. Each tracking the girl from a different direction as they slowly came together in a triangular formation. Only did Amaris understand her situation when eerie noises of footsteps, branches cracking and snow crunching knocked reality into her.

She gulped nervously. A hand patted along thigh with intentions to scare them off with her weapon. Wait. What? Amaris mentally cursed a storm, this was bad. The one time she decides to leave without her dagger does she find herself in a situation.

Okay, don't freak out. Running isn't an option, the snow is too wet. The forest is around six miles, she's only half way through. Plus another two miles to reach just the mansion entrance gates.

Her only option is to fight them off. She can take them, right? She's stronger and trains for hours with a vampire. Not to mention actually kills vampires for a living. Confident, be confident. You have the skills. You can do this. Just picture Seras.

Amaris stopped, hoping to cause a moment of confusion to her stalkers. Praying they were only humans and not undead. Fists tightened, a heavy breath exhaled before she spun around on her heel to face three males.

"Come here little bird" One called like she was a scared puppy.

Two chuckled, "We won't bite"

"Just want to have some fun with us" Three lied.

Brown eyes widened in momentary fear, they were much bigger and fitter than her. Each one buff with towering height. "Leave me alone now, or you'll regret it" warned Amari as she took her position to ready a kick.

"How cute~" Teased Two.

"Not going to happen" Said Three.

One reached a muscular hand out to grab Amaris only to have her grip his wrist. Manipulating their weight difference, she managed to flip him over. Three lunged at her and received a round-house kick to the face, sending him backwards.

However, Two successfully took strong hold on both her arms from behind. Amaris struggled against him and attempted to flip the man over by bending forward. Didn't work. His structure was greater than hers and couldn't be overpowered. Before Amaris could think of something else, it was too late.

One pinned her arms, Three got one leg and Two had the another. She opened her mouth to scream only to have a large hand slap it shout. Amaris groaned at the hit, that'll bruise in the morning. If she is alive.

Two and Three worked together and practically ripped open her coat. The winter cold sent her body in a frozen state, which gave her attackers the chance to rip apart black stockings that were the only thing clothing from her torso down.

Brown eyes could only watch in widened shock at the malicious actions, she struggled against them one more time "Let me go damn it!".

Fruitless, her attempts only got evil cackles and laughter. Amaris trembled in pure fear, tears burning corners of her sockets. She didn't want this. She wanted to go home. She wanted help. She needed help. Help.

"Alucard" whispered her little voice in a whimper, pleading for aid.

It was like magic because before she knew, the vampire was painting the white snow with crimson. Amaris didn't feel the stinging coldness of the cemented path. The world seemed to stand still for however long the monstrous ordeal lasted for. All she could do was watch how Alucard sunk his sharp teeth into the flesh of her attackers.

How with a single motion he would tear necks and arms.

How man laughter quickly turned into boyish screams.

How the vampire's eyes glowed scarlet from the rageful blood-lust.

Mouth covered in warm blood, Alucard turned his attention onto the trembling girl. There, Amaris sat on her bottom, legs arched, body exposed and violently shaking from the harsh environment.

"Get up Idiot Brat" called the vampire in a deep, demanding voice. He waited for an answer but only got sniffles.

Perhaps such rough tactics won't be of use to him in a situation so frail like this one. Alucard let out a small sigh before approaching the girl, kneeling down on one knee in front of her "Amaris".

For a moment, the vampire hesitated before stretching out a hand in aid to the girl. Half-expecting rejection from his touch and that his villainous kills would only spark fear "Are you hur-" breath paused in Alucard's throat in surprise.

That wasn't the case, shaking arms wrapped around his neck in a tight embrace. "I-I'm s-sorry. Just t-take me home... p-please" Amaris said in a frail voice, it tugged at the vampire's non-existent heart.

"For a human girl, you're far too much trouble" said the vampire, gloved hands hooked under her bear knees and clothed back to swoop Amaris up into a bridal-style hold in one motion. Although he was dead, her body felt dangerously cold to the touch.

Amaris sniffed, burying her face deeper into the safety of his scarlet clothing "...Whatever..." she weakly retorted.

The vampire could feel wetness from her tears damping the nap of his neck, "Better finish your crying before we get back" Alucard warned the girl, knowing they'll have to report what has happened immediately to her sister.

Realizing that only encouraged more tears from Amaris, arms tightened around him all the more, her sobbing itched the vampire's ear. Oddly enough, satisfaction calmed, even soothed him. Finally able to once against have the girl in his hold.
