There were guards stationed in the prison to watch over the girl he didn't see what he had to do in regards to her. Alex called down to the guard office to make sure the prisoner was given food and water but did not go to see how she was faring until two days later. When he walked down to the damp and dark prison cells he saw Hellsing lying on her bed, her long blond hair sprayed out around her but he did not see any food or water bowls in the cell with her. The noise of him walking towards her must have woken her up because she turned her head to face him "Come to see how quickly I can starve or die of dehydration?" She asked bitterly her blue eyes glaring at him. "What in hell are you talkin about lass?" Alex asked in confusion "I assume my punishment is death considering I have not yet received any food or water since arriving in this cell." Alex ran a hand through his short cut, blond hair in dismay and frowned "those idiots hold on a minute." He spun around leaving the girl behind he felt her eyes still watching him even as he left her. Hellsing was sitting up right now her hair pulled back in a loose pony tail as she leaned back against the stone wall. She watched Alex carry a tray of food and water back over to her and open the cell to step inside. Hellsing stood up quickly as if anticipating a chance to escape but Alex was clearly blocking the only exit. "Don even think about it ya know I'll stop you." Hellsing bit her lip and nodded and looked at what he was carrying hopefully "thank you but if it's all the same I'd like to see you eat it first after all it could be poison." Alex quickly set the items down on the ground 'Lass you best be grateful I came down here at all to check on you. Take what you are given and be grateful for it." Alex couldn't believe the audacity of the girl still trying to order others around even though she was currently a prisoner. And if the girl thought for one second she could ever boss Alex around she was in for a surprise. Hellsing still looked unsure but Alex heard her stomach began to rumble and was also getting tired of being in her company. "Oh for heavens sake lass look." He grabbed her cup and took a gulp of the water and grabbed a chunk of bread and bit off some. "See" He said with his mouth full and the girl smiled and looked relieved. "Thanks Father, one can never be too sure you know. I've had a number of assassination attempts all ready." She admitted darkly and stood up to grab the cup from Alex and drank from it greedily. "Ay just how young are ya lass?" Alex asked his curiosity getting the better of him. He knew he should have just left the food and water in the cell and leave but she sparked his curiosity. "I'll be 17 in four months." She responded thoughtfully and Alex nodded. His suspicions were correct she was still just a child "you must have a lot of responsibility for one so young?" Alex asked and Hellsing sat down on the edge of her bed and shrugged her shoulders. "Someone needs to fight the darkness I take my responsibility seriously I will do everything in my power to eliminate evil from this earth.' She stated solemnly and Alex had to admire her dedication "besides." She said as an afterthought "you know all about that don't you what with being a priest from Iscariot." Alex tried to mask his surprise and found himself taking a seat on the bed next to her "and what makes you think that?" Hellsing scoffed giving him a side long look "I saw the way you defended the bishop you were on me quicker than I could see. I don't know of any normal priest being that quick so I assumed you were part of the Iscariot organization." Alex smiled at the girl's quick wit "I haven't the faintest idea what yer talkin about lass, you have quite the imagination." Hellsing burst out laughing making her look and sound much more like her age. "Ok then, but I don't believe you." "So much responsibility for someone so young you should be out doing things that normal girls do your age." Alex found himself saying again he felt sorrow for the girl and he could see in her blue eyes the anger and confusion present there. Hellsing stopped eating and looked at Alex 'and what would that be?" She asked "oh you know going out and having fun, making friends." Alex suggested "I don't have time for such pleasantries, my work is what's most important. Besides Father Anderson what were you doing when you were my age?" She asked and he grinned "going out with girls your age." He admitted and then added "but that was a long time ago." Hellsing scowled "I don't have time for insignificant relationships and flings Father Anderson such things are unimportant in the long run wouldn't you say? I would assume someone who has dedicated their life to serving god would feel the same?" She commented. "Ay lass but I was given the choice and choose the path of God, I don believe it's fair for a child to be forced into a situation without having a choice." Alex stood up and made ready to leave "wait your going all ready?" Hellsing asked breaking away from her serious monotone voice and sounding more like a teenager. "I have work to do lass." "Will you come back?" Hellsing asked standing up when he did and looking hopeful "well someone's got to feed ya lass." Alex joked and the girl looked relieved at the prospect of getting his company again later.
