Lucky Charm
Pat one: A sight that brings luck
Seras Victoria sat on the wall that lined the edges of the grounds belonging to the Hellsing institution. She looked up at the mansion underneath which she now spent her days. The night was warm and the moon was almost full. She was thinking about the changes that had happened in her life when she saw something quite unexpected. A figure came out onto the balcony, a female figure, in a dress. Her fist thought was that it had to be Integral, but she just couldn't picture that woman in a dress. But who else could it be?
A second figure, male Seras guessed, joined the first. It didn't take her very long to identify the second figure as Alucard (obviously confirming her guess about it being male). What was this about?
"Interesting isn't it?" Seras nearly fell off the wall. She hadn't noticed the soldier coming. She looked at him, but he just kept looking at the pair on the balcony. She turned her eyes back to them as well.
"I guess," she said. "But what…?" she didn't get to finish her question.
"Don't ask, it is better that way. Just think of it as a lucky charm." This made Seras turn her eyes back to the soldier again. This time he met her eyes. He smiled slightly and said "What? You don't think we have our own superstitions?"
"I never thought about that," Seras admitted.
"It's alright. I didn't think much about it when I first came here, told the guy who told me this that it was rubbish. But now, I'm almost sure it's true." The soldier turned back to the pair and Seras followed his example. Maybe he was right, maybe he wasn't but either way it was probably worth it.
……---……
"What's wrong?" Seras didn't even turn her head to Pip, she kept her gaze fastened at the pair on the balcony. It had been a while since the fist time she saw it and she was well aware that she might not get to see it again. She had wondered briefly if all the soldiers felt like that when they saw it.
"Nothing," she answered Pip's question.
"Who's that?" he then asked, having spotted the pair on the balcony.
"It doesn't matter."
"Why not?"
"It's just a lucky charm."
"Really?"
"Yup, just Hellsing superstition."
