PLEASE bear with me. He's definitely OOC, and I suck at writing him. I'm sorry.
Intera and Alucard
I don't know why I was inside on such a lovely night. Running into Seras wasn't on my list of things to do either. "Oh, there you are Alucard." "What is it?" "There's an assignment I'm supposed to do, but....." "What? Out with it." "Master and Walter are out for this evening. There's a roundtable conference." I knew that. But I'm still not sure what she wants. "And?" She sighs, "and I don't have anyone to watch Intera." She can't be asking me to....
"Could you watch her, please? It's only for a little while." She sounds almost desperate. That look shouldn't phase me. So why the hell is it? It's my turn to sigh. This is against my better judgment but, "I suppose I may as well. I've nothing better to do." Besides it's not like something so small could possibly be dangerous. Seras is smiling now, her fangs showing. She looks beautiful when she does that. I shake my head. Why am I thinking like this? There was nothing to that night, three years ago. "Thank you Alucard. I promise I'll be back as soon as I can."
She kneels down to the child, "you behave for Alucard now." "Yes mama." Seras rises and fades out of the room, leaving me with the small one. I don't want to do this. Damn that female. Her and her disarming look. I turn to the runt, "so, child, what do you want to do now?" I'll deal with this, just once. I'm not doing this again. That damn female better be satisfied.
She's looking up at me now. "Well, Auntie Integra and I usually go for a walk to the park." Auntie? Hmph. What master puts up with. A walk to the park? As late as it is there won't be anyone out. If that's all she wants to do, then this will be pathetically easy. "You want to go for a walk?" She nods. I can deal with that, and like I said, it's a beautiful night. "All right, we'll go for a walk." Her face lights up. She's pretty like that. Like her mother, when she's happy. Damn, those thoughts won't leave me alone.
"Come on, this way." I follow the girl outside. She runs ahead of me for a few minutes, then returns and settles down to walk beside me. She's so small she takes three steps to my one. Her effort to keep up with me is almost amusing. And it really is nice out tonight. Perhaps a walk was a good idea. We reach the park and turn back. Just as we're arriving back at the manor, Seras appears at the front door. That truly was a short mission.
Upon seeing her, the girl runs ahead of me again. "Mama." Seras turns, "ah, there you are." She looks at me, "I hope she wasn't too much trouble." Trouble? I scoff, "a night this fair deserves a walk, right child?" The little one nods in agreement. "Thank you." I wave her off, "just make sure it doesn't happen again." Not that I really minded. I start walking away. "I'll try." Don't try too hard, police girl. I smile to myself as Seras' old nickname crosses my mind. I can think what she'd say if I called her that now. Not that it fits her anymore anyway. I may have to see that this does happen again, just to get some peace.
Chaos: I'm baaack! I hope you like chapter 2. Look! Paragraphs! That was the biggest criticism of chapter 1. I promise I'll fix that chapter also. Just give me some time. Was Alucard OOC or WHAT? You won't see too much of him after this, so get your fill. Thanx to all who R&R. Later.
