Hellsing : Vampire Uprise

Chapter 10: Insanity and Rage

(A/N: Some of you may be a little disturbed by this chapter. I'm warning you now, it's not a pretty sight. This story is rated M for a reason.)

There was a lone figure in the room. Alucard and Seras slowly approached it. As they got closer, their eyes widened with recognition.

"Oh my God…" Seras whispered.

Her low whisper caught the figure's attention. The figure turned around to reveal Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing. Bathed in blood and looking like a mess. A chain was around her neck, chaining her to the bloodstained floor. A human bone was in her mouth, clamped tightly between her sharp teeth.

"Master…" Seras asked, "what did they…"

"They turned her." Alucard whispered.

And that wasn't all they did. Insanity blazed in her red eyes as her fangs bit down so hard that the bone in her teeth broke in two. She began crawling across the floor, blood and saliva spilling from her mouth.

"Alucard… Seras…" she whispered. "I WANT!"

She pounced at them, held back by the chain around her neck. But that didn't stop her from trying to get at her prey like a rabid animal. Integra was clearly insane. And not the kind of insane that Alucard was, but the in desperate need of a straightjacket insane.

Seras stepped back in horror and disgust as she looked at what her good friend and mentor had been reduced to. "Sir Integra, what did they do to you?"

Alucard remained silent. He slowly reached out for his master and Integra bit down on his hand and began draining him of blood. Behind his glasses, his copper eyes burned with fury.

"Do you like her?" came an evil, yet familiar voice from the shadows. "She's a real work of art."

Seras looked around for the speaker, but saw no one. "Where are you? What did you do to Sir Integra?"

The person laughed again. "Isn't it obvious? I drove her insane. She was in my custody for over a month. I had a lot of fun with her. Oh, Alucard, you would have been so proud of her. She was very difficult to break, but the human mind can only take so much before it snaps. And after I got her just the way I wanted, I turned her. Now she's perfection."

Integra began lapping up at the blood on the floor like a dehydrated puppy. Her eyes rolled around in madness, showing nothing of the old leader of Hellsing. She turned to Seras, grinning an insane grin.

"Seras, Seras Victoria." She hissed. She reached up and dragged her nails down from her forehead to her chin, slitting her face open. She looked at the blood on her fingers before lapping it up and looking back at Seras. "I want your blood. I want your BLOOD!"

She began clawing and snapping at thin air, trying to reach the young vampire. Seras backed up, unable to believe that the creature before her was Integra. She just didn't want to believe it.

"You'll have to forgive her." came the voice, sounding much closer. "I twisted her mind into thinking that she's always hungry. Sometimes she'll even feed on herself. One time she even bit off her own tongue to get to her own blood. She threw such a fit when it grew back right away."

""You're sick!" Seras shouted. "Hurting innocent people is bad enough, but driving a good person into madness… that's… that's…"

A hand rested on her shoulder. Seras looked up at Alucard. He had an expression on his face that she never seen before. He stepped forward, making sure to remain out of Integra's reach.

"Who are you?" he asked, his calm tone filled with cold fury. "Show your face to me. You will pay for what you've done to our master."

Movement was heard as something crawled across the floor. It grabbed Integra's chain and yanked her back, pulling her into an embrace. The creature came out of hiding, keeping a tight hold on Integra as it dragged its tongue over her face.
