Chapter: 3 Not so Silent night
Figures that the old man had left the Hellsing manor for last. Last house in England that is, now we had to cross the channel separating England from Europe. Had the police-girl, (or should I call her Elf-girl for now?) not been here with me I would probably have abandoned the sleigh and finished the 'mission' as fast as I could on my own, phasing from house to house. After the waste of time I'd then have organized a nice barbecue with 100% reindeer meat. Part of me is...glad that the police girl came along though. I can't say she understands me.. But it is nice to have someone along that at least accepts me like she does. That along with the fact this 'mission' would have bored me even more otherwise made me understand why Integra sent her along. She knows what I do when I grow bored.
Speaking of the little elf she has apparently grown used to flying over the wide channel. Whereas she used to be unable to pass them unless she was in a coffin she is now standing straight up, two earplugs in her ears and that small noise-maker she calls an "I-pod" in her left hand. Her whole body swinging along with the music that comes from the small device, the sight is very appealing to my eyes, Vampire or not I am still a man and I appreciate female beauty. Even (Or especially?) in the form of my little, voluptuous angel, dressed in a short green elven suit, gracefully swaying her hips to the unheard music, she may be over fifty but her body is still that of a twenty year old, as is her mind.
"All I want for Christmas is you, baby!" She suddenly begins, I watch her from the corners of my eyes, when she finally realizes she sang those words out loud she looks at me, blushes and turns away, her hand quickly sliding over her I-pod to silence it, she then focuses all her attention on brushing up the small Hellsing emblem on the Christmas themed Hellsing 'uniform's ' right breast pocket, which it obviously doesn't need. I'm not stupid, I very well know those words were for a fact aimed at me. I rest my hand on her back while chuckling, Purring into her ear "And when you have me, what will you do, police girl?" She shivers, whether under my words or my touch I don't know. It's not the cold that's for sure, despite her clothes, or rather lack thereof, Vampires barely feel cold, although heat affects us more than usual. That goes for all meanings of the word 'heat'. When we stop on the roof terrace of a large house, right under an arch entirely made out of mistletoe I grin to myself, this must be destiny. Now I never feel much like co-operating with destiny, nor do I really believe in it but this opportunity is too great to let it slip, my pride will have to take a step aside.
"Look at that police girl, Isn't that mistletoe?" I ask and grin while watching her movements like a predator eying a very tasty prey as she stares up at the arch, growing more red than the ugly frilly suit I'm wearing. I slowly inch closer to her and she turns her head to me in confusion. Confusion makes place for embarrassment.. wait, no that is anger.. -Thwack!- Her small fist collides with my lower jaw. "I'm not falling for that a second time, master! Please, just get those presents so we can do our job." I don't know if I should be congratulating her for having the guts to stand up for herself, or punish her for hitting me. Punishing her does sound a lot more attractive to do, but with those soon-to-be-reindeer-sausages watching (and the fact kids still may be reading this) I settled for listening to her and keeping the police-girl-punishing-party for after the 'mission' After maybe forty two seconds of rummaging through the sleigh the only thing I've found is a single empty bag. "Those critters must have made a mistake Police girl, The bag is empty."
Police girl turns to face me and lifts an eyebrow. "Does not look empty to me, master." I know she is blond, but I never knew she was dumb too, that was not a question that was a statement. "I know the difference between empty and full Police girl, and this.." I hold up the bag and point at it, not knowing how to continue. "That, would be 'full' master." She finished and hides her mouth behind her hand, giggling uncontrollably. 'How the heck is this possible?' I think while looking at the now full bag. It is not until police girl's laughter is joined by that of eight pieces of Christmas roast-beef that I figure what happened. "You! You did this!" I growl pointing an accusing finger at 'Comet' who nods his big head mockingly. I need all my restraint to not pull out my Casull and fill him up with lead. I have a nice place for him when we get home, as a hunting trophy on my wall.
Death-glaring my police girl finally shuts her up, quickly followed by the eight critters that oh-so-nicely managed to make me look like a fool in front of her. "And now?" I ask bluntly, she knows what I mean. "Now you climb through the chimney and give the children their presents." Is she mocking me? "I'll go ahead if you want." She IS mocking me! "Police girl, despite the fact you are in charge of this 'mission' you would do well to remember that you are still my servant. Now stop joking around and answer my question or I might forget there are kids nearby." She gasps and looks at me pleadingly. "But..I'm serious, Santa always comes through the chimney." That's it, She's going to get it now, I'm sorry kids. I start to walk towards her, but soon realize my feet are no longer on the ground, When I look down I see the opening of the chimney below my feet, and when I look up I see the bag floating over my head like a balloon. Before I know it I am halfway in the chimney, my eyes still glaring my now frightened police girl. "I'll get you for this, Seras." I tell her before my head also disappears in the darkness of the chimney.
Next moment I stand in front of a fireplace. A large decorated tree, like my police girl insisted on having back home stand proudly in the middle of the room. On the couch there's a little girl sleeping silently. Or rather, acting like she is asleep. I can hear her heartbeat which tells me enough. I ignore her, Yes I'm thirsty but if my master finds out I'm drinking blood from innocent children she will go berserk and give me a one way ticket Hellsing seal room. I hear loud noises from behind me, at least, loud for my enhanced hearing. I don't need to turn around to know what it is, the muffled "oompf" tells me my police girl followed me down here and landed on her butt, Good thing that's one of the less skinny parts of her body or she's have a hard landing. "Master, what's taking you so long? We still have a lot of houses to go by." She whispers before kneeling down near the girl. "Come on, back to sleep you. Santa can't do his work if you stay awake." She whispers ruffling the child's hair.
Instead of listening to Seras the child sits straight up. "Aw, how did you know? This trick always works on mommy" Seras smiles and kisses the girl on her forehead, for some reason that just does not feel right to me. "We elves have good hearing, child, now please, go back to sleep." The girl nods and lays down, so police girl is good with children, part of me is happy to know that, not sure why. "What is Hellsing?" She asks pointing at Seras' badge and I'm getting annoyed but try not to pay attention, she asks too many questions. "It's the name of Santa's toy-factory, Marina." Seras answers. The girl nods and closes her eyes. "Why does Santa not have a big belly like he does on the pictures?" I growl and turn to the girl "Because Santa is on a diet okay!" The girl's eyes widen and she crawls back under the cover. "Santa has red eyes and long teeth!" Seras glares at me and I turn away to place the last package under the tree, Seras returns her attention to the girl. "Don't worry Marina, the books don't say these things because we don't want children to be afraid of Santa Clause. You're not Afraid of Santa are you?" The girl, 'Marina' shakes her head and smiles as Seras walks to the chimney "Sleep now, Else Santa will put you on the naughty list!" The girl gasps and lays down quickly.
Finally I am done with the bag and I join my fledgling under the chimney. "Santa! Why did you not drink the milk?" I quirk an eyebrow at the girl. "Vampires don't drink milk." I state plainly and at that moment the once more empty bag pulls me up through the chimney, I securely wrap my arm around my police girl to pull her along. Once on the roof again I walk back to the sleigh with long strides, "Master! Why did you tell the girl we're vampires?!" I sit down and wait for Seras to take place next to me. "Police girl, Enough questions for tonight, no as a matter of fact, I don't want to hear even one more question the rest of the year." I see her mouth a simple 'oh' and she nods in understanding. Yes, Police girl really is the only one that understands me. Without further questions she takes the reins and yells "Go Dasher, Go Dancer! Go Prancer, Vixen, Comet and Cupid, Go Donner and Blitzen!"And we once again shoot through the sky.
...Only to land two seconds later on the next house.
.This is going to be one, long night.
