Hear Me

Alucard sat in his chair slowly sipping his blood from his wine glass. Savoring the contents, he tipped his head back wondering if there'd be a mission tonight. He hoped so. The vampire was bored out of him mind, his crazy mind that is. And a crazy, bored vampire was not something you really wanted to deal with on a nightly basis.

Smoothing his red suit with his right hand, he contemplated his missions for the last month. All boring with little complications. Everyone of them... freaks, stupid, bloody freaks tearing through the city making more chaos for him to clean up after they're gone. "Damned freaks, " he muttered.

Bringing the glass to his lips, Alucard was in mid sip ,when an all too familiar tingling prickled at the back of his neck. Smiling, he sat the glass down gently, not wanting to disturb it's fragility, shattering it on the floor. Besides, Walter wouldn't be too happy having to clean up another broken goblet.

Integra, sitting at her desk, was examining a handful of papers in her hand. Swearing, she slammed her fist down on the picture that seemed to mock her. The picture contained two young men. Both were confirmed freaks. One of them had blond hair and green eyes. His brother had brown hair and blue eyes. Brothers. Why did it always have to be brothers? Damn it all! A voice smoothly broke through her thoughts.

"Bad day, Integra?"

"Alucard, I don't need smugness nor do I feel like dealing with a smart ass right now!", she snapped. "You've got a mission. So pay attention... at least try."

"What's the mission?" She wanted businesslike, well he'd give it to her. "High body count involved?" His grin coming across to Integra like a cat after it's prey. His eyes so maniacal and deceptive.

Rolling her eyes, she shrugged. "It's likely to have a decent body count. I don't know. Here's your two targets." Handing Alucard the photo, Integra launched into a brief description of them. "The blond is Taylor and the brunette is Finn. They ARE brothers and their last name is Adams. Recently joining the ranks of freakdom about three months ago, they're hanging out at a club called Ivory's. Rather upscale, not just anyone's allowed in, so their parents must have money."

"My mission being...infiltration or destruction?" Alucard was eager to put the boys to sleep. Killing them, closing their eyes forever suited him just fine. Freaks existed at the top of his hate list! Nothing but vampire trash they complicate everything. Never realizing their full capabilities and forget utilizing them. But all the better for Hellsing's exterminator!

Sternly glancing at the tall, dark vampire. She addressed his question. "Infiltrate only. We need as much information on these boys as possible. It seems they also want to bring more freaks in, increasing their little organization. We cannot allow that to happen, Alucard!"

"Yes, Integra, I know."

"Alucard, you'll need to change. They'll never let you in like that." Integra raised her eyebrow, smirking at him.

"What do you suggest?"

The blonde almost fell out of her chair! Alucard asked for her opinion! Looking at her watch, she thought the world just might end! "I've got just the perfect idea. Let's go shopping."

The No Life King actually appeared repulsed by the very idea! She might as well suggested that he eat hamburgers or something. (a/n: I have nothing against hamburgers just to throw this in!)

"Alucard, I want you to go to the club tonight and find out all you can. If not, keep going until you come up with something useful. Everything clear?" Keeping the steel in her voice, she didn't want to let him think she would be going soft on this one mission. Just because he was being allowed into a club on their time didn't mean shit. Integra wanted that sentiment to carry across to him. That it did.

"Crystal, sir." Alucard flipped off a mock salute to her and together they left to go shopping.

Hours later the duo returned. Bogged down with multiple packages they both carried them down to his basement quarters. Shaking his head, Alucard sighed,"Did you have to buy so much shit? I don't need all this!"

Placing her hands on her hips, she smiled. This smile was the smile of mischief. "Someday...your girlfriend will thank me! Trust me." Chuckling at his reaction she punched his arm lightly. "No woman will be able to resist you in any of these." Blue eyes twinkling like stars on a bright night. "I just hope she can live with you." Walking out she laughed as she left.

The flustered vampire could hear her laughing voice giggling all the way up the stairs to the next level. Then there was nothing else to hear. "Well, guess I better get changed. Got a date tonight." Sarcastically, he wondered if he ever would find that someone special. WOULD she be able to put up with him? Pondering he wished he knew where she was.

Several more hours later at Ivory's, the place was swinging. Drinks quickly ordered and downed just as fast as they were received. There was a beautiful blond bartender/waitress behind the counter. Her hair short and shaggy. Her figure slim, yet her chest was overwhelming for her frame. She wasn't extremely tall, about five foot six inches, just normal height.

Her bar partner, Dallas smiled at her. "Yo, Seras."

"Yo, Dallas. What's up?" Seras' smile was shy, just a little like her personality at times. When it called for it, she could be outgoing and flirty.

"So...what you doing tonight?" The gorgeous blond haired, blue eyed man could try the patience of a saint.

Licking her lips, Seras stalled. Pretending to think for a minute she said,"Know what? I'm not gonna tell you! It's not going to be that easy. I'm not that easy!" Winking at Dallas, she was waiting for the remark to come. She'd set up the perfect innuendo.

"God knows I wish you were. It'd make my life so much easier if you were easy!" Dallas grabbed his rag and started polishing the bar.

Seras' laughter was music to his ears. Everyone around loved to hear her laugh. She loved life and it loved her. She stopped long enough to mix up a couple of Long Island Tea's and turn her attention back to Dallas. She was in the middle of saying something and she stopped short. Something here caused her to have a weird feeling. This feeling wasn't good nor bad. She couldn't really describe it.

Seras looked around the club, so small and private. Her heart beating fast. The feeling that her future had entered the club wouldn't shake loose.

Alucard entered the front door. It was a tasteful little place. No overly bright lights, just soft lights and small candles. It reminded him of a romantic restaurant. There in the center of the tables, lay a wooden dance floor. Two steps above the dance floor sat a beautiful nine foot grand piano. No wonder the place had been called Ivory's. He'd discovered at the door, that the dance music was located upstairs and next door for those who wanted a different environment.

Eyes drinking in every detail, he paused, feeling the rapid beating of someone's heart. Speaking to that person telepathically he said,"Calm down. Everything is ok. Who are you? You must slow your heart down." Turning his head this way and that, he tried to discern who the rapidly beating heart belonged to, but with no luck.

The dark, gorgeous vampire made his way to the bar. Puzzled, he smiled. He'd found the source of the heartbeat. It belonged to a sexy little thing behind the bar. Blond, busty with a slim figure. Appetizing. Snapping out of his daze when he realized she'd spoken to him.

"Excuse me, sir? Want anything?"

Seductively smiling he replied. "Bloody Mary with a little bit of you thrown in."

"You've got to be kidding right? Is that the best you got?" Actually she thought it was pretty cute. She wouldn't tell it to this guy though. "What's your name, stranger?" Seras found she really wanted to know his name. Inexplicably she was drawn to this extremely tall gorgeous man. Hair, black as midnight and eyes, she couldn't tell due to his shades. "Why do you wear shades?

"First things first, Seras." He took her hand.

Seras jumped when he grasped her hand. "H-how'd you know my name?" Blue eyes so deep, Alucard could drown in them and not even care.

"My name is Alucard. The shades, well-"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked. There could've been some kind of accident or something and I'm being insensitive. I apologize."

"I don't like talking about it. Maybe some other time." Every few minutes, his head swiveled as if looking for someone.

Her heart dropped. He's got a girlfriend, I just know it. He's meeting her here. Damn. "Are you looking for someone? A girlfriend perhaps?" Throwing in the hopeful tone in her voice, maybe, just maybe he didn't have one.

"Why? You interested?" His voice...the tone had a dark, sultry sound injected into it. Alucard was very amused listening to her loudly broad casted thoughts. The fact that she hoped he didn't have a girlfriend buoyed his spirits considerably. "Seras, I don't have a girlfriend. I'm looking for two guys. Taylor and Finn Adams, you know them?"

Smiling, she said, "There's something I do know. They're my cousins. Both of them are wild as hell so you better watch out!"

During the whole exchange, Seras never knew she was being watched in amusement. She was also the center of a huge bet. Several were betting she'd go home with the tall stranger breaking her dry spell at the club.

Dallas grinned like a hyena. "Yo, Seras, baby. Got fifteen minutes until you're up." Winking at her he also whistled, which drew nothing but hostility from Alucard.

"Thanks, Dallas, for the heads up. Look, Alucard, it's been great talking to you. I've gotta go perform." Untying her apron, she threw it down on the bar.

"Perform?" The No Life King was confused.

"You know as in sing?" Seras demonstrated so he wasn't so lost. He immediately understood. Then with a wink she was gone.

Sitting down at a table, he drank down he's fourth Bloody Mary. Waiting patiently, he wanted to hear Seras' voice ring through the popular halls. He didn't have much longer.

Twenty minutes later the lights dimmed completely out. This left nothing but the small candles providing just a little low lighting. Enough to preserve the emotional effects of the whole scene.

Alucard glanced around surprise etched on his handsome face. Every table around was packed with people. There were people even standing in the surrounding areas behind the tables. Whatever was going to happen must be a really popular crowd pleaser.

A spotlight appeared in the middle of the stage as Seras' partner, Dallas sauntered onto the stage. Acknowledging all the whistles and clapping, he waved at everyone. Tapping the microphone standing dead center in the middle of the stage, he started speaking. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Are you all ready for the entertainment tonight?"

Cheers, whistles and claps loudly sounded all over the place along with several yells of "bring it on!".

"Well, then, here is our own lovely, talented Seras, Victoria singing Hear Me." Dallas walked off the stage as Seras came on and talked to the piano player now sitting at the black instrument. No one else had noticed that a drummer, keyboardist, bassist and guitarist had also been in the darkened background waiting for their cue.

The spotlight accented her outfit. It was a solid white halter top dress covered head to hem in sequins. She glowed like an angel. Her heels made her appear much taller than she was and her short hear and been mussed in a messy spiky arrangement. But on her, it was perfect and no one else could've carried it off the way she did.

The piano struck it's first notes. Slowly, guitar, bass and drums added their components. The sweeping melody reaching out into the audience pulling them along with the singer. Seras's angelic voice rang out clear and strong.

You gotta be out there

You gotta be somewhere

Wherever you are

I'm waiting...

Her words appealed to Alucard's curiosity. His crimson eyes, hidden behind his darkened shades watched her intently. Her soft, feminine form swaying gently to the music.

Cause there are these nights when

I sing myself to sleep

And I'm hoping my dreams bring

You close to me

Are you listening?

Seras closed her eyes. Deep down she hoped her words reached her special someone tonight. She didn't know who he was or where he might be, but tonight, this song is for him. Sending her heart out to the crowd, surely there'd be an understanding soul. Someone that was tired of being alone as was she.

Hear me

I'm crying out

I'm ready now

Turn my world upside down

Find me

I'm lost inside this crowd

It's getting loud

I need you to see

I'm screaming for you to please

Hear me

Can you hear me?

Triumphantly smiling, Alucard had heard her pleas. He, too, had grown tired of being alone. Only his existence had been lonelier for much longer, for centuries even. Fighting his urge to take her from the stage, he wanted to take her away. He wanted to kiss away her pain and make dark, beautiful love to her until she cried from happiness.

Seras poured even more of her soul into the next verse. This whole song explained how she felt in explicit detail. So many times she felt she was screaming at people and they couldn't hear a word that was said. Taking the microphone out of the stand, she carefully stepped down onto the floor. Working her way in the crowd, she tried to find a man to serenade. One that pulled at her very being. Not just one of these vain, ignorant bastards, but someone that seemed romantic enough to know what a woman wants.

Stopping in front of a particular table, she glanced down at the familiar figure and grinned. She'd found her "victim" so to speak. Leaning across the table throwing everything she had into this she let it rip.

I used to be scared of

Letting someone in

But it gets so lonely

Being on my own

With no one to talk to and

No one to hold me

I'm not always strong

Oh, I need you here

Are you listening?

Reaching out with her hand, Seras traced his face. Inwardly, she slightly jumped at the shocks that passed between them. Just touching him did things to her no one had ever done before...ever. What was going on? Then again, who cares?

Since Alucard had absurdly long legs he didn't have them under the table. They were crossed and beside it.

Seras took advantage of the situation and sat down in his lap. She hadn't realized until now how larger than life this man underneath her seemed. Scooting back she laid her legs across his. Wrapping her left arm around the back of his neck, she continued her song.

Alucard, was in heaven during her sweet movements. All was torture. However, it was a gloriously sweet torture. The dirty minded vampire's mind was definitely working overtime as were other parts of his body. He was distracted as her song went on and her voice took him away again.

I'm restless and wild

I fall but I try

I need someone to understand

(Can you hear me?)

I'm lost in my thoughts

And baby I've fought

For all that I've got

Can you hear me?

When the last refrain ended, Seras leaned her forehead against Alucard's. The crowd whistled, clapped and cheered making such a noise; it was devastatingly loud. Seras slowly rose from his lap and headed back to the stage. Handing the microphone over to Dallas, she took her bows and encouraged the band to take theirs as well.

"Hey, man! Whoever you are," Dallas spoke to Alucard,"I'd like to know what you did to her." Winking at Seras the flirty bartender wrapped an arm around her. "What are you carrying around in your pants, dude? You must be packing dynamite or something. Because this little lady's never been interested in anyone out here before. So, details... did you hypnotize her?"

Standing, the vampire maliciously smirked. "Something like that." Alucard aimed a growl in Dallas' direction. Mentally, he instructed him to remove his hand from Seras' shoulders or else.

Holding out his hand to her, Seras accepted it and walked away with the deadly vampire. Honestly, she was the only one safe from him. He'd never hurt her, but he'd kill whoever hurt her.

"Seras, I'd like for you to come with me." His voice held such a sultry invitation. A promise of the seduction to come echoed within everything he spoke.

"Where are we going?" Timidity and fear mixed with mistrust. She stood divided. Knowing she hadn't known him long enough to trust him, but her gut instincts said otherwise. Those instincts told her he could be trusted above the others she knew.

"Wherever you want to go."

Leaving the club, she'd linked her arm in his. Thinking hard, the decision was hard. Where to go? There were so many places! "I know! If you could fly, I'd like to be at the top of there," she said pointing at the top of a high building with an accessible rooftop.

"Really." How easy, he thought. It'd be so easy to make her happy.

Without warning, Alucard's senses kicked into high gear. Grabbing Seras, he flew upwards and fast. A car crashed into where they had vacated seconds before.

Seras screamed at being grabbed and then flying up. What the hell's going on, she asked herself. Confused, she wanted to cry. Wind rushing by her, she cling tightly to the man that held her taking her ever more higher. Shutting her eyes, she would wait until it all stopped before she opened them.

"Seras. Open your eyes."

Alucard's soft voice beguiled her, beckoned her. She didn't have the ability to fight it and she didn't want to.

Swallowing, Seras slowly opened her eyes. Revealing blue orbs full of tears. "What's going on, Alucard? What are you?"

Removing his shades, he allowed her to see the reason behind the dark glasses. His crimson eyes bled brightly in the night. "I'm not human, obviously. I'm a vampire, Seras."

Shock spread across her face, then laughter. "Wait. There's no such thing."

Denial was never a pretty thing. Especially to those who were slapped with it. "Then how'd we get up here? I'll prove it to you." Right before her eyes, he changed to several different forms. He shifted into a bat, fog, another human form, and a wolf. While in the wolf form, he padded over to her.

The crazy thing being, she wasn't afraid of the wolf in front of her. Running her hands through it's fur, she could feel the sensations that it felt. The wolf faced her speaking to her mind, telling her many things of his past and who he really was. There was so much to know...to understand, all this information was hurting her head.

Laying her head against the wolf's, she still ran her fingers through his fur and down his spine. Seras smiled mischievously when she felt his shudders of pleasure at her touch. Strangely, the fur now felt like material and the furry head now felt like skin!

Prying her eyes open, she saw Alucard back in his human form. He was so gorgeous.

Leaning in, the usually inpatient No Life King kissed her. Gently at first, then harder and much faster the kisses came until the blond beauty was out of breath. Teaching her with his kisses what he wanted to say with his body, he showed Seras how breathtaking it all could be.

He turned her around. They were sitting on the edge of the huge building she'd pointed out earlier. Seras had her back to Alucard. He pulled her so close that her back was tight against his chest. Wrapping his arms around her, he swore he wouldn't let her go. Never.

Alucard had one little request to make of Seras this night. "Seras, do me a favor? Will you sing for me?"

Smiling, she agreed."Yes. Just for you and only you."

Taking a breath she began to sing.

He drowns in his dreams

An exquisite extreme I know

He's as damned as he seems

More heaven than a heart could hold

And if I tried to save him

My whole could cave in

Just ain't right

Just ain't right

Oh and I don't know

I don't know what he's after

But he's so beautiful

Such a beautiful disaster

If I could hold on

Through the tears and the laughter

Would it be beautiful

Or just a beautiful disaster

He's magic and myth

As strong as what I believe

A tragedy with

More damage than a soul should see

And do I try to change him

So hard not to blame him

Hold on tight

Hold on tight

I'm longing for love and the logical

But he's only happy hysterical

I'm waiting for some kind of miracle

Waiting so long

He's soft to the touch

But frayed at the ends he breaks

He's never enough

And still he's more than I can take.

The words in her song touched his heart. The heart long thought cold and dead. Maybe, just maybe she's the one. Holding tighter to her still, he vowed, that this one human he would cherish. No freak or vampire alive would touch her and live. Seras had brought out the side of him that he believed to have perished so very long ago. Tragedy and disaster had been his life. The miracle she'd sang of was wrapped gently in his arms.

Kissing the side of her head, he felt her lightly squeeze his arms in reply. Leaning back, within minutes, the young girl was sleeping. If Alucard hadn't seen it, he'd have known it from her heart beat. Closing his eyes, he slowly stood up with her. Lifting her bridal style, the two figures faded from sight, reappearing across town in his room to sleep for the day. It was quite the site to see Alucard, the mighty No Life King, with such a small beauty held tightly in his arms. Walter would say, "Oh, how the mighty have fallen!" and fallen he had!
