Hellsing: Crossing Over
Chapter One: The Dream
It had been about a year since she had asked her mother to retire, and Lilith now found herself buried in work even in the latest parts of the night, and earliest parts of the morning. There were times when she would be awake for days straight, managing the Hellsing organization. This happened to be one of them.
Her startling green eyes had lost their luster, her platinum blonde hair messy, and her fair skin paler than usual. She often envied Alucard and Seras, who could lose days of sleep and still be in fit condition to blow up Ghouls. There was a rapping on the door. "Come in," She said, yawning and doing her best to make herself look less fatigued before her visitor walked in. "Miss Lilith," came Walter's familiar voice. "Yes, Walter?" She asked, hiding her exhaustion quite well. "You have been up for three days now. For heaven's sake, go get some rest!" he scolded. Lilith let out a sigh. "Walter, I am very busy with paper work." She said, gesturing to the large stack of paper that had stock piled on her desk. "I can see that, but the paperwork can wait until you are fit to work on it again." He stated boldly, which left Lilith unphased, as he was a family friend of sorts. "Walter, please." She said. "I need to finish this or my mother will have my head!" Walter let out a sigh. "Very well then, Miss Lilith," He bowed courteously before leaving her to her work.
Lilith got about half way through the remainder of her work, before passing out on her desk, as if there was not a thing to worry about. Her dreams were troublesome, as Alucard had been sent on a mission hours before, along with Seras. She found herself dreaming of her dearest friend being in trouble, and being killed by Alucards hands... Before being brought into the unlife. Lilith awoke with a start, knocking over a cup of tea that had been infront of her. She fell out of her chair in alarm. Walter promptly ran in. "Miss Lilith!" He called, helping her up. "Whatever is the matter?" He asked. She dismissed this question with her own.
"Have Alucard and Victoria returned?" She asked, after clearing her throat and propping her chair back up. "No, not yet, milady." Walter replied. "He did, however, radio in to report that it was going to take longer than expected." Lilith sighed at his response. "Alright." She said, setting ehrself back in her chair. "Miss Lilith, please go to bed." Walter said, then corrected himself. "No, GO to bed," He said, threateningly. Lilith sighed again. "Fine, Walter." She grumbled. Lilith looked at him. "Would you please draw a bath for me?" She asked. She gestured towards spilt tea down the front of her blouse, which stuck to her breasts. Walter found himself starting for no more than a few seconds. "Whatever was I thinking?" he scolded himself. He had looked at his mistress with such longing eyes. He straightened himself, and went to pour a bath for her. "Thank you," Lilith called from behind him, not noticing he had been staring. After her bath had been poured, she went to her quarters and bathed before dressing in a silk green night gown for bed.
