The Unpleasant Awakening

Description

Was it the moon? The tide? The aligning of stars?
As a spirit you felt light, strong... invincible attached to the draculina. On neither platform of the living or truly dead you lived your unlife in a sort of solitude of a purgatory. And then--- you awoke once more.

A moldy breath was taken and you shook like an infant, feeling the vulnerable cold of the sarcophagus you'd seen your flesh encased in not long ago. It wasn't the breath of birth, rather the raspy choking of lungs which had forgotten the feel of breathing. It was dark, the stink of rot strong enough to induce unconsciousness, but you held on, confusion of re-life and a sheer terror like a child enough to make your fingers scrape the lid of the coffin.

No human attempt could possibly be enough to lift it, yet you pried it open, incessant determination enough that moments later you were crawling out from the hole you'd made in the dirt, lifted yourself partially up by resting one hand on your tombstone and then other on the ledge of soft dirt and swung yourself over before collapsing on your hands and knees against mildewed grass, the citrus scent of fresh earth so alien and familiar it nearly brought tears.

The graveyard was an oddly silent relic of deaths passed, no others rising from their resting places like you might have expected, just yourself. Neither human or vampire you laid there, too tired to proceed you merely hoped the strength would come to you if you rested. You were something else, something different.

Oh man, I'm certainly a sucker for re-editing, aren't I? XD

Still--- I liked the zombie Pip so much that I didn't want to just discard this completely, so I started right back from scratch again. For your viewing pleasure better gore and a far better backdrop. The final finished product being this. I'll probably junk the old one, I see no use of having two versions of this up.

It occurred to me a lot of people seem to think this is depressing because he's become one of the undead. Perhaps I should have elaborated more in the ministory that he is capable of such streams of thoughts and emotions because he still possesses a soul, which in a way still makes him human. [Maybe I'll add that in later. XD]

I serious love listening to Mc Chris is Dead. The best song you can listen to if you're drawing zombies.

Well, looks like Bernadotte got one unpleasant awakening in the death of night.
I wonder what Seras, Alucard or even Integra would say to this sight, though to make this clear, he isn't a Ghoul, yes? Well it's just that those guy's from Hellsing would be quite shocked to see an Undead who isn't a Vampire but still retains their full mental faculties (or as much as is possible in that rotten state of his)....
