Chapter 1
Hellsing manor
A loud sneeze echoed through the basement and upstairs, Integra looked up from her desk and raised an eyebrow "What was that?" She asked Walter and he shrugged, "I don't know ma'am. Perhaps we should go see?" He asked and Integra nodded.
Basement
The sneezes hadn't stopped but only gotten more as Integra, Walter, Seras and Pip had gone to the basement. They stopped in front of Alucard's room as the sneezes had died down, Integra knocked on the door and then tried to open it but it was locked, "Alucard, open this door. I need to speak with you." She said loud and clear but there came no answer.
Inside Alucard was blushing a bit, they had heard. What could possibly go wrong? Click he raised an eyebrow someone picked the lock?! The count quickly hid in the darkness and was fighting yet another sneeze that was threatening to come out. "Oh, no. Not now." Alucard thought as he saw Integra, Walter, Seras and Pip walk in, to make matters worse Anderson would have to be there but thank GOD he wasn't. Suddenly without warning the sneeze came out and Alucard fell from the air and with a loud crash he landed on his chair and broke it. Pip and Seras fought back a snigger and a laugh that was threatening to escape while Integra and Walter gasped and ran over to his side "Alucard you're sick!" Integra shouted which made Alucard grab the sides of his head "Too loud.." He muttered "I thought vampires didn't get sick." Walter said as he helped Alucard up, "They don't." Alucard growled but it sounded more like a helpless mew. The count crossed his eyes and grunted, he sounded so weak it absolutely sickened him. There went that word again. Sick.
Seras and Pip to a deep breath and were going to ask if they could do anything to help when they burst into laughter and then ran out before Alucard or Integra or Walter could shout at them for laughing at Alucard in his weakened state. "Don't mind them master Alucard." Walter reassured him, but Alucard could hear the two laughing all the way up and out the door. He could just brake down and cry but he wasn't going to allow him self that. "Walter, put Alucard to bed upstairs. I have to run my errand. I will be back in a month." A month! Integra was going away for a month and was leaving him behind! "Don't go.." Alucard whispered so low it just sounded as if he had a sore throat. Walter nodded and helped Alucard upstairs.
In a bedroom upstairs
Alucard had tissues all around him and was tightly tucked in, it actually felt kinda good. A small smile went over his face then he shook his head "What am I thinking! This, this isn't right! I'm not supposed to get sick, for GODS sake I'm a freaking VAMPIRE!!!" Alucard mentally slapped himself. "Oh my, you look worse then you did before." Walter said as he came in with a tray of … soup? It was bloody soup!?! He was a vampire, sure he was different from other vampires and could eat human food but he loathed it! "A nice warm chicken soup should do the trick to help you get better." Walter said as he came closer to Alucard only to see him bury himself deeper into the covers and refusing to eat it.
Rome, Italy
Walking the streets of Rome, Father Alexander Anderson was pondering. Where was Maxwell going for a month? Oh, well at least it gave him some time to try and remember his life. Suddenly a flash from his life ran through his head and the priest paled. "No, it can not be! I was, I was… A GOTH!" Anderson thought and looked horrified but quickly shrugged it off, now to get some coffee or some sort of alcohol to forget that.
Hellsing manor
"Alucard! Get down from the ceiling please. You have to eat the soup to get better." Walter said as he looked up at Alucard, the count had managed to stay up there for an hour "Never! I'm not eating that!" The count protested and Walter sighed. This was going to be a long day.
Somewhere in the streets of London
Seras and Pip were laughing and having fun as they walked passed stores that were open 24/7. Seras had finally agreed to go on a date with Pip and to her surprise he just wanted to walk around and talk and get to know her better. "He's not like any man I've met. He's actually being polite and sorta, charming." She thought and blushed a little as she noticed him looking at her with a smile.
