Chapter 2: Best Moment

(The next day - 12:00pm - Elisa's POV)

I was heading towards the testing area, that miss Hellsing said to go to. I was wearing a dark green tank top, camouflage cargo pants and black combat boots. I looked like a modern military recruit. I arrived at the appointed place, Alucard, Seras and miss Hellsing were all present.

"Good afternoon" I greeted.

"Good afternoon, Elisa" Alucard replied, giving me a devilish smile. I smiled in return.

"So what's the test, miss Hellsing?" I asked.

"Basically. You're going to go into a city ruins replica, along with an army of robot soldiers. You will have to fight them, using only a knife. They will have paintball guns, so we can see if you get hit. We will be watching from that platform up there. Oh, and please call me Integra" she replied.

"Okay, it sounds fun!" I smiled. They handed me the knife and showed me to the entrance.

(Sera's POV)

We got up to the platform, we began to watch Elisa fight. We saw her run across the ruins, approach a robot from behind, disarm it, take its gun and shoot in the head. She was managing to take down each and everyone of the robots using stealth and acrobatics. I looked up at Alucard and Sir Integra, who had a look of pure shock on their faces.

"Sir Integra?" I asked

"S-She completed the whole course in less than 5 minutes!" she cried. I looked down at the ruins, I saw Elisa run along a vertical wall and jump up to the platform we were on.

"Finished Integra!" she smiled.

"That was brilliant! Elisa I think you would be better qualified for the toughest missions we face, hence you shall be working with Alucard" Sir Integra replied. I looked at Alucard, who had a wide grin spread across his face. Why is he so happy, when sir Integra wanted me to be his partner he declined saying that he doesn't need a partner.

"Integra?" Elisa asked.

"Yes?"

"Do you think we can get someone to look at the writing on my left wrist? I want to know what it says"

"Of course"

"Elisa, may I see your wrist?" Alucard asked in his charming voice…wait, did I just think that?!

"Okay" she replied, hand him her wrist. He made this cute puzzled face as he examined it. Did I just think he was cute?! What is wrong with me?!

"It's Voynich manuscript, no one can decipher it…" he announced, her hopeful expression dropped.

"…But I just so happened to be there when it was written, so…" he smiled. Wow his smile was dazzling!…Oh, no. I think I'm falling in love with Alucard!

"Does that mean you can read it?" she asked.

"Indeed, it does. It says: Experiment No. 219" he replied.

"I'm an experiment? What does that mean?" she asked.

"We're not quite sure, we will have to look into it. We need to find out what was done to you, the after effects and who was experimenting on you" Sir Integra replied.

"Okay. Thank you Alucard" she smiled.

"Any time" he smiled.

"I'm going to go get cleaned up and help Walter around the house" she said, beginning to walk away. Alucard was following her every movement with his eyes. Sir Integra noticed this.

"Alucard?" she asked.

"Huh?" he asked snapping out of his daze.

"Are you okay? You seem distracted" she asked.

"I'm fine, I think I'll go to my room" he announced walking off. I said my goodbyes to Sir Integra and walked off.

I was walking past the kitchen when I overheard Alucard talking to Walter.

"So when exactly did you fall for her?" Walter asked.

"When I first met her"

"How did you meet her?"

"I saved her life actually…" Are they talking about me?

"Well that may be of use to you in courting her, she may think highly of you just for that alone"

"Really?" I really hope they are…

"Yes, I am certain. Basically spend some time with her, get to know her and let her get to know you better"

"Thanks for the advice Walter"

"Good luck courting miss Aldaine" They were talking about her! Dammit! Looks like Elisa is going to be my rival for Alucard's love.

(Elisa's POV)

I stepped out of the shower and dried myself off. I walked over to my wardrobe, which was full of clothes Integra had bought for me. I chose out a baggy blue t-shirt and some jeans, this should be alright to wear around the mansion. I walked out of my room and closed the door behind me.

"Hello Elisa" a voice greeted.

"Eeek!" I cried as I jumped and clung to the chandelier that was just above me. I looked down to see Alucard look at me with a raised eyebrow.

"I guessed we figured out one of the results of the experiments" he commented. I nodded, before jumping back down.

"Oh, Alucard. You gave me a fright" I smiled.

"Sorry…" I replied, looking away slightly.

"It's okay, I don't mind. And we managed to find out one of the after effects"

"Okay, what are you doing now?"

"I'm going to help Walter with the housework"

"Really?"

"Yes, would you like to help? Who knows it may be fun"

"Umm…okay, just give me moment to put away my coat ect."

"Okay, I'll be right here" I smiled, as he walked into his room. In a matter of mere seconds, Alucard came out wearing a black t-shirt and black jeans.

"Wow, who knew Alucard could dress so informally?" I joked.

"The same can be said for you, your highness" he replied in a mocking tone.

"Come on, let's go" I laughed. We walked down the hall and to the kitchen, were Walter was. He was kneeling by a cabinet, fishing for something in the back of the cabinet.

"Hi, Walter! We're here to help!" I beamed.

"We?" he asked, looking up from the cabinet. He buttoned his lips together, as if he was suppressing laughter when he saw Alucard. Alucard, narrowed his eyes.

"Okay, you two can clean the kitchen. I need to go and tend to the armoury" he said, swiftly walking out of the room.

(Walter's POV - 2 hours later)

I walked down the hallway, I was heading to the kitchen to see how Alucard and Elisa were doing. I arrived outside the kitchen door, I could hear laughter coming from inside. I cracked the door open slightly. The kitchen was filled with bubbles and Alucard and Elisa were soaked and were throwing bubbles at each other. They never saw me, I had never seen Alucard have so much fun…I decided to close the door and walk back the way I came. Miss Victoria was about to enter the kitchen, I extended my arm to stop her.

"I don't think you should go in there, it's being cleaned" I explained when I saw the confused look on her face.

"By who?" she asked.

"Alucard and Elisa, and they have filled the room with bubbles"

"Oh, okay…"

(Elisa's POV)

I scooped up a handful of bubbles and flung it at Alucard, he managed to dodge it and dived into the bubbles that was up to my ribs. I looked around, but I couldn't see him. Next thing I knew, I was being lifted into the air. Alucard had his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Alucard! Put me down!" I laughed.

"Hmm, I don't think so. I kind of like you like this…weak and defenceless"

(Alucard's POV)

"Why? What would you do with me, sir?" she asked. A lot of things…wait, was that a suggestive question?

"Alucard, what the hell did you do?!" Integra yelled as soon as she walked into the kitchen. Busted…I put Elisa down.

"It was my fault Integra. I convinced Alucard to join me in cleaning the kitchen, and as you see we had a bit too much fun" Elisa explained.

"Fine. Just clear up when you're done" and with that, Integra left.

"Umm…" I stood there, shocked. Elisa must have been the first person to take the blame for my idea.

"Maybe we should just clean up now" Elisa said, grabbing a mop.

"Umm, yeah…"

(1 hour and 30 minutes later)

I was in my room, I was thinking about earlier. Somehow I felt as if I had just been cheated of maybe one of the best moments of my life…
