Mystery Box
Hellsing manor shook from the echo of the doorbell. The house, being so big, acted in the same manner an amphitheater would during a concert, magnifying the sound to a louder pitch. Soon, the middle-aged butler with the monocle on one eye and a short graying ponytail to his back emerged to open the door and let whoever was calling in. Upon opening the door though, he did not find a person standing there, waiting to be let in. No. Instead he found a box on the doorstep.
Upon closer examination, the butler found two notes. One on top of the other. Taking the first, he read it to himself,
"Please, if you would be so kind as to deliver this package safely and unopened to Alucard."
The butler then decided to take a look at the second of the two notes. But before he could even open it he noticed that someone had taken the liberty to neatly forbid him from doing so.
"Only for Alucard's eyes," was nicely scrawled across the envelope the note was currently occupying.
'Hm…How odd that someone would send Alucard something. Let alone know where to find him,' he thought to himself before shrugging it off.
He then proceeded to push the box, only to find it was much heavier than he had anticipated. Turning to put his back to the box, the butler then again attempted to push the box toward the basement slash dungeon (whatever the hell you want to call it).
After about 20 minutes of pushing the heavy package in this manner or another, the man stopped to catch his breath, only to find he wasn't even halfway to his destination. Groaning at the task, the man got ready to continue on his journey, only to be stopped by a voice that sounded so sweet right then.
"What's that Walter?"
"It's a delivery for Master Alucard, Seras," answered Walter, thinking Seras Victoria couldn't have come at a better time.
Seras had watched from the shadows as Walter had opened the door and tried to push the box toward the basement, her and her master's home. She had eventually taken pity on the older man after watching his pitiful attempts at trying to move the heavy thing. She'd surprised herself that it even took 20 minutes before she'd come to his rescue. Usually she would have done it right away. But before she could ponder on the thought more, it was pushed to the back of her mine. Almost as if somebody else had done it for her…
"Do you need help getting it to Master, Walter?"
"Would you mind?"
"No! Not at all," she'd said without any hesitation as Walter moved out of the way to allow her room. Pressing her finger to the box and walking forward, she started off to the basement. Pushing the box as if it weighted nothing. Seras then started to ask questions…
"What is it, Walter? What's inside?"
"I really don't know, Seras. All I know is that it's heavy and was dropped off for Master Alucard by some unknown person."
"Oh…"
Walter was enjoying the comfortable silence that followed. But that was until Seras broke it, again.
"I wonder what's inside? I wonder who dropped it off? Do you think Master will like whatever's inside of it?"
"I don't know. We'll soon find out."
When they reached the steps leading down to the basement, Walter decided to check the time. Looking at his pocket watch, he found that it was time for Sir Integra's tea.
"Seras, would you be so kind as to bring this package to Master Alucard? I need to get started on Integra's tea."
"Sure. No problem, Walter."
Walter muttered a quick thank-you before heading off to the kitchen and leaving Seras to bring the "mystery box" to her master, alone. Thanks to the fact that she was a vampire and the box weighed close to nothing (for her) she was able to shrug it off and continue her trek to her master's cell alone, with no qualms.
Haha!
