Chapter Twenty Four
-Alucard's POV-
Ghost had fallen asleep.She was very light when I carried her in here.She's losing her ability to even stand.
She hasn't been here since six years ago,in my lap.Asleep,in this very room.
It was right after her sixteenth birthday
-Past-
"Alucard?"Asked a small,delicate voice.One who's been peeking my interest.
I open my eyes.Ghost's fear filled eyes looking to my own.I looked into her soul.
A nightmare.
She swallows thinking I was still asleep."With that swallow regret fills your mind.Tell me what you regret?"I had asked her.
She looks down.
"I'm worried your gonna get hurt,an I'm scared that,I'm regretting knowing what's gonna happen to you-"Her eyes lined with tears.
I stood and hugged the shaking girl."An that's why,your the soldier we were given."I reply.
I had no true reason to fall for her but I felt anxious to find out what she felt about me.
-Present-
I held the woman Iv'e come to love,her name is Ghost.
Veins popping out of her skin.All so visible.
"Get some rest."
-Ghost-
I open my eyes and see Red.I was still in Alucard's arms."You have to come home,promise me."I say hoping he can hear me.
I escape his grip and stand up.An I turn to leave."I will."He had replied.He stood and held me to him."I promise."
That's what we did honest truths,obvious lies.He held onto me,like I would die if he let go.
"Come with me."He said.
I look to his red eyes."Really?"I ask.
He nods.
In my heart I felt something I never have before.I would be his sheky.
I was the snake hidden in Alucard's hair.Integra thinks I'm being forced to stay here and rest.Sadly she'll scowled me later.
He starts the 1980 air craft,an I slither into the co-pilot seat.I guess I forgot to mention,I can take forms of spirits I possess as a disguise.
Once I return to two legs I breathe out."I forgot I hate snakes."I mutter.
"You choose that disguise need I remind you."Joked Alucard.
I roll my eyes to him.As we took off I tried closing my eyes to get some rest.
"Alucard?"I ask the Vlad.
"Yes Love?"He had asked.
"After this war,could we settle down on the missions?"I ask.
He stiffens."Why Love?"He replies almost sad.
"I was thinking,we could have a family of our own."I reply.
He chuckles."That makes two of us."I smile.He's become more human to me than anyone else in the organization.He's going to be a great father.A great one indeed.
'Blood Will Fall.'
"What lies on this ship Ghost?Anything worth our salt?"Alucard then asked already smirking.We must be close.
"One Named Rip Van Winkle."I reply.
My chest begins to throb harsh.Many voices calling to me.The dead men on the ships souls are already coming to me from this far?A piercing pain through me,a sickening pain.Like a knife being stabbed and then twisted.
I holler in a sudden shock,I bit my lip,it bleeding from enough force.
"Ghost!Ghost!Are you alright?"He asks.
I breathe out."I'm fine,I'm good."I huff out.The voices dying in my head.
"What was that?"Alucard asked.
"Four Million,Seven hundred fifty nine souls are hidden within.Breaking me down body mind and soul."
Alucard was silent for the rest of the plane ride.One of his hands held my own. I already had two other attacks not to long ago.Not as intense as the first however.
"Ready?"He asks as I see the Eagle down below.
I snap my fingers and slither up his sleeve.
'Yes.'
He was hesitant, worried most likely. He descends downward towards the flight deck of the air craft carrier Eagle.
"We're coming Rip Van Winkle."
A blue streak then flared towards us, going in various patterns and shapes. It then strips through the center of the plane.
Flames engulfing us, however he rose above them, red souls had filed into my body. Bashing me around in Alucard's coat pocket.
"Enough." I mumbled.
Alucard then crashes into the ship. "Enough."
Flames circled us both as my body quivered. Rip Van Winkle then ran off, afraid of the creature in front of her. Many white and red souls circle around me, continuing to crash and knock me around. I've been at a breaking point for a while now.
"Enough." I mumble.
"What?" Asked Alucard.
"Enough!" I slam my fists into the flight deck of the ship, the flames circling me then decentralized into steam. I then collapse. I had to many within. I had to take, take a-.
"Ghost!" The muffled voice of Alucard rang out. I then felt his arms hold me tight.
-Alucard POV-
I held her.
I longed for her.
I was fully aware she was gone, dead. "Why did I ask you to come with me?"
She was paler than the moon. Her warmth was gone, cold as ice. Her Tattoo on her chest, glowing a red. I set her calmly down on the flight deck. "I'll finish this war, I'm coming for you Major."
In the distance I heard a alarm clock going off. I walk closer to the noise, wanting to find the one I could take my anger out on.
'Ghost.'
"I meet her an the ghoul infested high school, that moment I heard her whisper my name!"
'Ghost.'
"I watched her grow up, and become the beautiful young woman. I feel for her when she was eighteen. I asked her to be mine at 21!"
'Ghost.'
The alarm clock was before my foot, along with the crying vampire woman. The clocks ringing had annoyed my hearing, I step upon it, much like his, The Majors head that I would crush.
The vampire woman, wipes her reared eyes and pointed her musket to me.
"Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor! My bullets punish all without distinction!" She fires a magic bullet which actually hurt but I stood tall.
"Again!Again ,Again!" She repeated in a yell.
Wanting to scare her more I catch the bullet between my fangs. "Guess what I just caught?" I pause crushing the bullet from under my fangs.
"I caught you, Rip, Van, Winkle." I reply to her fear as I stalked closer to her. She was to frightened to move.
I throw my fist to her face, knocking her down. She, dropping her musket.
I then pick it up, grab her throat and force her into the wall that was close by.
"Your master and I will finish this today. An you and your Major will pay."
I then slowly force her own musket into her chest, into her heart. Her blood running down its barrel and onto the ground.
'For you, Ghost.'
