Hey there, here is the next installment of the story. Thanks to all of the people who liked the story. I'm working on a new original work for FictionPress, along with school work and other things I have to do during the day. Now on to the story, and as usual I do not own Hellsing.
Chapter 3
Christina opened her eyes looking at the fancy ceiling. After a couple of minutes she remembered and sat up. She saw Yami curled up beside her sleeping peacefully. She stood up and walked towards the window. The grounds were large, with several different buildings scattered around it. She heard a knock on the door and was thankful that her pajamas consisted of a t-shirt and a pair of sweat pants.
She watched Walter walk in and nod politely. "I was coming to get you for breakfast. I'm afraid you didn't get a proper tour of the grounds yesterday." He said.
"Oh that's all right, and breakfast sounds great. Just give me a few minutes to get ready." Christina said nodding. Walter nodded and left the room. She sighed and walked over to her suitcase that she never unpacked. She found a red turtle neck and a pair of black blue jeans. She poked Yami who grumbled irritated. "Hey lazy I'm taking a shower, then it's breakfast time." She said smiling.
"Yeah, yeah wake me up before you go the kitchen." He said curling up tighter. Christina smiled and headed for the bathroom. After twenty minutes she returned to the room with her hair dried, she put her necklace around her neck and picked up Yami.
"C'mon food." She said as he began grumbling. She met Walter in the hallway who looked at the grumpy cat. "He's a cat, when they want to sleep they want to sleep." Christina said shrugging.
"Yes cats are finicky creatures. Come along and we will get you some food." He said leading the way. Christina followed him looking around the manor. She noticed that while it was clean, that it didn't feel warm or lived in. It felt a new house that you had just moved into even though she knew that the family had lived here for generations. "Well here we are, this is the dining room." Walter said.
"The dining room? I thought we were going to the kitchens." Christina asked puzzled.
"Why would we do that? The cooks have prepared a nice breakfast for you." Walter said.
"Oh no you didn't have to go through that much trouble, I mean it's bad enough that I've brought another vampire for you guys to fight. You don't need to cook my meals for me. Just point me in the right direction and I'll take care of that myself." Christina said hurriedly.
"I would never allow my guest to fend for themselves. Sit down and eat Christina." She heard Integra say from her place at the table. Christina nodded, sat down and began to eat.
This was the first time she had a breakfast like for a while. She had a typical English breakfast with orange juice. She began giving her bacon to Yami and saw Integra frowning. "Is there something wrong?" She asked
"We don't allow animals at the table." Integra said.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I guess you're sitting on the floor Yami." Christina said sheepishly as the cat glared at her. Yami jumped onto the floor and stalked out of the room.
"Do you always feed him scrapes from your plate?" Integra asked.
"Well I've been traveling for the past year and I've had to sneak him into restaurants to give him food. So I guess I've done it for so long that I just don't really think about it." She said shrugging.
"He seemed angry. I hope that's not going to cause any problems." Integra said to her frowning.
"No, it won't hurt him to remember that he's a cat. I'll make sure he gets something to eat later." Christina said smiling. She began eating again listening to Integra and Walter talk happy that she was finally going to get some help.
Yami stalked around the manor angrily. 'Eating from the floor, yeah right. I doubt Christina will let that happen. After all witches treat their familiars like people after all.' He thought as he walked around taking in the different scents. He wasn't worried about Christina not being able to find him, being a familiar he would be able to sense if she needed him.
He saw an open window and jumped outside taking in the sites. In a way he was happy that she was getting some help. But on the other hand now he would have to share his witch with others. He would have to follow the rules that humans have for pets. He caught several human scents and walked over to a large building. He looked through a window and saw men dressed like soldiers.
'Ladies got her own little army going. No wonder the supernatural community tiptoes around this organization.' He thought jumping out of the window. He froze when he reached the ground. He sniffed the ground cautiously.
'He had been here. That cursed vampire had been here.' He thought growling. He tracked the scent and found it underneath the bedroom window that they were sleeping in. 'Not good.' He cursed and ran towards the house.
Christina was about to get up when Yami bounded into the room and jumped onto the table in front of her. He's been here. She heard him tell her telepathically.
"Is there a problem?' Integra asked unsure how to respond to the cats angry state.
Christina held her hand up telling Integra to wait and focused on Yami. He would only talk to her telepathically when it was an emergency. "What do you mean?" She asked.
His scent is all over the place, especially underneath where we were sleeping. He knows what we're doing here I bet. Yami said hissing.
"But how could he..." Christina asked suddenly afraid. If he could get past security without Alucard knowing then maybe he wasn't the one after all.
"Are you all right?" Integra asked seeing the child pale drastically.
"Yami says that the vampire was here last night. That he was near our bedroom window." Christina said.
"Impossible, a vampire shouldn't be able to get in this compound without setting off an alarm." Integra said shaking her head.
Christina looked away. 'She doesn't believe me.' She thought looking at Yami who only mewed softly and nudged her hand softly. She stood up and Yami jumped onto her shoulder. "I'm sorry that you don't believe me, but if Yami says that he was here then he was here. I'll just get my things." Christina said.
"What do you mean? Where are you going?" Integra asked surprised.
"If you don't believe that the vampire was here then I'm not going to get much help. I mean he managed to get past Alucard which means he probably isn't the one. He was sending a message to me. He was letting me know that he's not afraid of you. He was letting me know that I'm not safe here." Christina said walking away.
"Walter!" Integra yelled. She saw her butler come into the dining room puzzled. "Don't let that girl leave, and I want the security footage checked from last night. Her cat has somehow told her that the vampire was here last night on the grounds." Integra said.
"I understand. I will check the records and find a way to keep her here. That will be difficult she's to accustomed to running." Walter said. Integra nodded standing up.
"Let's find a way to help that child." She said. Walter nodded and followed her.
To Be Continued.
