Not Another Girl (Hellsing x Reader)

Chapter 73

Walter has been dead for four years now, and still Seras mourned for him. It was 8:30 p.m. and she was donning her coat. She picked up the rose from the table and left Hellsing manor. Pip saw her leave and ran to catch up with her.

"Where are you going, mon petite?" Pip asked, as he followed her out the door.

"To see Walter." Seras said solemnly, as she walked towards the Hellsing Family Graveyard.

"Oh. That's right. It's been four years, hasn't it?" Pip frowned, as he too remembered the faithful family retainer.

"Yes." Seras gave a small smile. "It has."

"May I come?" Pip asked.

Seras looked at him. She had wanted to be alone, but..."Yes."

"Where's George?" Pip asked looking around. "I'd thought she'd be with you for sure."

"Sir. Hellsing banned her from the graveyard remember." Seras chuckled, as she remembered the last rose the dead.

"Oh Yeah." Pip laughed and shook his head. "I swear that kid is weird as fuck."

Seras ghosted her and Pip through the gates and Pip stood by her as she laid her pink rose upon Walter's grave.

"A pink rose?" He questioned her. "I thought you were madly in love with Walter."

Seras sighed heavily as she stood in front of Walter's grave and remembered the man that he had been. "I was, until I realized why I was so in love with Walter."

"And?" Pip asked, as he came to attention and gave Walter a curt salute in honor of his memory.

"I realized now that I loved Walter because he was the first person, after I arrived here, to be kind to me. He treated me not as a freak or a vampire, but as a young lady; even though by Integra's standards I wasn't one. Master was mad at me because I wasn't a proper vampire. Sir Integra was mad at me because I wasn't a proper soldier either, and kept messing up on missions. I know Walter was mad at me for not drinking my blood rations, but he never scolded me for it; and even tried to understand my feelings. I realized now that I loved Walter like a child with a crush on his piano teacher."

Pip sympathized with her and took her in his arms. Seras let him hug her. It was nice to be held by such a warm bodied human, and it made her feel good.

"Walter was a gentleman and a fine hunter, when you get him mad enough." chuckled Pip.

Seras chuckled with him as she remembered a time long ago, when it was her and Walter fighting the ghouls. He had said that sending a rookie and a veteran into battle was like sending one normal soldier. Seras smiled as she remembered times past.

Suddenly, Pip spoke. "Come on, let me cheer you up." He let her go and grabbed her hand.

"Where are we going?" Seras asked, as she allowed him to pull her along.

"You'll see." Pip grinned at her widely.

Pip took Seras to the Eye of London, a four hundred and forty-three foot high observation wheel. It was a clear and starry night, a beautiful view for anyone to see, all the lights of the city lighting up the sky.

"A view fit for a vampire princess." chuckled Pip.

"Vampire princess?"

"Well, if Alucard is the No Life King, then you as his daughter would be a princess, would you not?"

"I never thought of it like that. I always feel so small when I'm around him."

"And how to you feel around me?" he smiled.
