Summary: Integra has a restless sleep and Alucard discovers one of her old fears.

It was a cold wet early morning at the Hellsing manor, the heavy rain hit mercilessly against the great panes of glass. The sun was just about to peek out from the horizon but the dark night was still controlling of the sky, the full moon was still visible in the lightening sky.

Integra slept restlessly as she tossed and turned in her down duvet and silky sheets. Her long platinum blond hair spread out on her pillow and her duvet had tangled around her waist and legs. Her silk sleeping garments visible even in the dark room.

The temperature and feeling of the room suddenly changed as a dark figure phased through the floor. A rushing of ink black shadows seeping from around him as Alucard soon embodied himself into his Master's private chambers. He wasn't supposed to be there, but the obvious discomfort of his Master was too much for him to ignore. He took long strides towards her bed, his black locks of hair falling around his body. He observed her body with a small smirk before a white gloved hand very gently moved over her creased brows, she had the same look on her face when she was stressed. He stood back once again and looked down at her, a small smirk on his pale face. He leaned against the wall near her bed, his sharp eyes trained on her body.

With a start the blond sat bolt upright, her crystal blue eyes wide open before a shrill "Bonjour!" left her lips.

She blinked twice as he hands gripped at her bedding before nestling down into her sheets again.

Alucard stifled a cackle of laughter that threatened to leave his lips as he watched the woman. He now realised what she had been having a bad dream about, when she was younger she had always hated French, and she had never been very successful at learning it.

The next night as Integra sat at her desk sorting through papers with a fountain pen in her white gloved hands a small shudder pricked down her spine as her 'servant' phased through her floor in front of her desk. No matter how many times Alucard phased, the chill that would go through her room still made her shudder involuntarily.

"What Alucard?" She snapped as she quickly glanced up at the tall vampire before her. She instantly caught sight of the monstrous Cheshire cat grin on his face and it unnerved her.

"You do not have to worry about French lessons any more my Master. We all knew you were awful at it so we gave up on it many years ago." A slight flush of colour travelled over her cheeks, as he grinned down at her.

"Get out!" She shouted at him. "And never come into my room ever again!"

A chuckle which soon turned into a cackle exploded from his lips as he continued to look at his Master, even as he began to phase through the floor once again. Just seeing that slight look of embarrassment on her face wouldn't keep him satisfied, he had always loved to tease her. And her reactions only fuelled his desire.

It was dangerous ground he was treading on.
