25: The War Wages On

"...Let's go home, Walter. Right away." Integra ordered


"Yes, sir."

You looked at Seras and back at the room full of doomed people and laughed.

"Shut up." You sister smacked your head, making you frown. "It's not funny. It's sad."

"We're going to cut through the city. We can do that, right?" Integra's face was determined. "I shall do my job. In the name of Hellsing, watch out German vampires!"

And with that, the doors opened and chaos was unleashed upon your eyes. Soliders on the road marched hand-in-hand in order to wage war against enemies from far away. They continued to march only to die, you thought, unfortunately caught in these crazy times. Who knows what the enemies feel deep down in their hearts. Is it power? Greed? Hunger? 

As the minutes ticked by you and your group stood tall in the streets, but Seras was counting the number of corpses. The smell repulsed you, old and cold blood. It was such a waste in your head. Why not devour each person wholly? That was how you had expected to go. But now you were in the immortal plane with your sister and lover, watching as soldiers of the enemy devoured mothers, babies, children and the elderly. You thought in order for them to be successful in their escape, they would need only pray to one god: Alucard.

You didn't laugh this time. You could hear the vampire minions laughing their own sick laugh, wasting the life and food around you. It sobered you up considerably. In the car now, Walter drove you all with a purpose. But Integra would not go quietly. From a secret compartment within the seats, she retrieved a musket, loaded with silver bullets and as she unrolled the window, she took careful aim.

"Move it, Walter! This is vengeance! They're sure to have reported my sighting back already! We must give Alucard the chance!"

The radio buzzed with static until a message interrupted the killing spree from the car.

"The... of... England... the... this... protect headquarters... This is Commander Penwood... Soon... this place will fall, very soon... Monsters just beyond the door... very soon, they're coming.... Defend... Until the end."

Emotions flooded Integra's face uncharacteristically. You nudged Seras and nodded towards her. Seras could only shrug. She didn't know the relationship that the commander and the master had. And you lacked the sympathy to do anything much at all.

"Walter, hurry!" But the car came to a screeching halt.

"Lady Integra... Back the car up immediately. please, change routes and find another way to escape. The vampire girls will protect you."

"Walter, no!" You noticed the black and ominous figure standing in the middle of the alleyway. You could feel it. This one was strong and neither you nor your blood-starved sister could have taken him. That left only the butler.

"Go as fast as you can!! No matter what, don't come back!!" He stepped out of the car and closed the door. "As. Fast. As. You. Can. Understood? Do not come back here for any reason. No matter what it is, just keep going at full speed."

"No!" She still scurried into the front seat, ready to do what had to be done.

"Hurry! The way I am now, I can't guarantee how long I can hold the guy over there."

"Butler! Order: without fail, be sure to come back alive."

"Ha!" Walter laughed as the engine revved. "As you wish."

And then there were only you three.
