Let me begin to explain what happened with my other Hellsing story. Everyone was OOC. End of story. I began to feel guilty it was soooo bad. _ Luckily I found someone to help me keep people in character. So. Onto the new story. It's completely different from the other story. Oh yeah. And if you believe I'm making up the street names in Hoboken then you should go to Google because I'm not. I lived in Hoboken :3. I know this is a VERY OVERUSED plot. But I really really liked it and I just wanted to write something about it. It's mostly for my own entertainment more then anything. But I still hope it's good. :3. Also before I go on Foscarrelli edited this. She's going to help me for the rest of my story too.

Disclaimer: I own none of the Hellsing characters! I also got this writing style from MissLinaTuck. Yes. Look at her Crimson Smiles story. It's really good!

Washington Street, Hoboken, New Jersey. 10:00PM

"It's so freaking cold!" A blond girl named Alice exclaimed, clenching her thick coat closer to her as the wind hit her hard. She gave her raven-haired friend a weak smile as they trudged up the steps of the subway.

"It is chilly." She agreed, seemingly apathetic. Strangers would wonder how exactly they became friends in the first place. Well, it all started when they were nothing but lumps in their mother's stomachs… Okay, so maybe that's an exaggeration, but their mothers had been best friends, and it seemed that their mothers had passed down being attached at the hip, to their daughters.

Alice buttoned up the last button on her coat before looking to her friend, "Valentine, do you want to stay at my place tonight?"
"No, I have work tomorrow but I'll meet you someplace for lunch, Alice," Valentine said gently to Alice, who just nodded softly with a yawn.

"Okay," Alice agreed, leaving it at that as she shivered when the consistent breeze blew through the city.

Park Ave., Hoboken, New Jersey, 12:30PM

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow Valentine!" Bubbly Alice said, grinning. As if spending the day together was not enough time with her best friend, she couldn't help the excitement that showed when she thought of spending time tomorrow with her best friend again… Well, Valentine was pretty much her only friend.

It seemed the world judged Alice for being a little bit too chubby for her own good, making her an easy target for lowlife's and the vermin that were still around even in their adult days. Until Valentine stepped in, they were both pretty lonely, as Alice was pretty much Valentine's only friend too. Apparently, Valentine was considered 'popular', even though she was not known to be for her friendliness… Moreover, she was oblivious to the fact that everyone wanted to be around her, even though Valentine had so many visible faults.

"Yeah… night." Valentine sighed, wanting nothing more than sleep. Alice left it at that and went her separate way. Valentine didn't show her exhaustion, daydreaming of her warm bath and comfortable PJ's as she slipped under the covers. She had a really long day, and all she could think about was the comfort of her own bed…

It seemed to take forever to arrive at her home; in actuality, it only took her a ten-minute walk. She had practically broken the doorknob as she shoved her key in! That seemed to be such a small matter to Valentine, who sighed happily as she kicked her shoes off and entered into her home. A small, glee filled smile graced her lips as she locked the front door and continued to walk across the cooled wooden floor. She could not be happier to get home.

She shrugged off her pea coat and tossed it onto the coat on to the couch, stripping herself before she even got into the bathroom. Her peeled off shirt and pants were thrown carelessly into the bedroom as she passed it and grabbed a towel to put it on the counter top. The hot shower worked it's magic as she melted in relaxation.

22 minutes later, she was comfy into her bed, in her over-sized shirt and blue flannel pajama pants and her wet hair slapped into a bun on top of her head. She leaned over her laptop, her fingers running over the keyboard as she replied to e-mails, Hellsing (which happened to be her favorite anime – boarder lining obsession) playing in the background. She had seen it so many times; she practically knew every facial expression and action that was happening without even looking up.

Anyone who knew Valentine knew that she had… a bit of a morbid fascination with blood, death, and gore… Well, maybe 'a bit' is an understatement. There was something wrong with her… something a bit too abnormal.

Alucard's sadistic, cruel, and sinister personality was even arousing to her. Out in public she was cold, and seemingly apathetic to such things, but on the inside, she was just as dark as he was. She didn't know whether or not she was supposed to be frightened, but it seemed so normal to her that it didn't bother her…

Valentine yawned, turning off her laptop, and leaned over to place it on the floor away from the possibility of being stepped on. She sat back up and watched a few episodes of Hellsing before coming so tired her chin hit her chest in exhaustion. She turned off the lights and fell asleep with a smile that would seem gruesome to anyone who knew of what she was listening to... While Luke Valentine screamed out for mercy as Alucard ripped him to shreds.

Oh yes, without a doubt, there was something terribly wrong with Valentine…

A/N: Doesn't it flow so much better with help? I love it~!
