Alucard's Familiar: "Writers block should be illegal, then I wouldn't have it."

Seras: "How long did this spat last?"

Alucard's Familiar: "Two months." ~_~ "And I'm still not back yet. This is just a hold over chapter until I can manage to make my brain work. Gets a question answered and throws Iscariot into the game. I apologize in advanced, this chapter sucks ass."

Seras: O.o "AF cussed!"

Alucard's Familiar: "Big whoopt." *Tries desperately to get brain to work*

Integra: "It was broken from the beginning, you'll never get it to work."

Alucard's Familiar: *Chases Integra around, brandishing a Care Bear*

Seras: *Hides* Alucard's Familiar doesn't own Hellsing or any of its characters! AF doesn't own Care Bears either! And doesn't want to!"

Chapter 4

"Will you keep it?" Walter asked.

"I..." Integra started, "I don't know."

Walter knew she would think it out, wouldn't make a decision without balancing out the consequences first. She would take everything into account. He hoped.

"Abortions are frowned upon by some in the Angelic church," Walter put in, "but others aren't bothered by it."

"It's not the child's fault it got caught up in this," Integra said as she turned and leaned against the railing, crossing her arms over her chest. "I don't see why it should suffer."

"So you are going to keep it?" Seras asked.

"I'll carry it, if that's what your asking," Integra answered, "I will decide whether I will actually keep it after it is born." The fire was back in her eyes again, the burning desire to prove herself.

"We shall see," Alucard grinned.

One of the secretaries came into the library a moment later, "Please excuse me Sir, but theirs is a phone call for you, from an Enrico Maxwell."

Integra swore under her breath as she walked out of the library and down to her office. She picked up the phone and even before she could get a word out she had Maxwell's voice screaming at her.

"What in God's name has your organization been doing?" Maxwell ranted. "There are FREAKS raining in here from England! What have you been doing?"

"Shut up!" Integra shouted into the phone and the voice on the other end went silent. "What is blazes are you talking about?"

"There are FREAKS running all over Europe," Maxwell answered, "Coming from England. Hasn't your organization been doing its job?"

"Yes we have," Integra spat venom, "There has not been a time when we haven't had something attacking somewhere. We haven't had a peaceful night in over two months!"

"Then what is going on?" Maxwell asked.

"I don't know," Integra answered. "There hasn't been a pattern or anything on our end. What about you?"

"None, they attack at random, mostly churches and nightclubs," Maxwell answered.

Integra went over in her head what had been attack in England, and found that the place that had been attacked were identical to the ones in Rome. Great... "Ours is the same. Keep an eye on anything unusual about them, we may be dealing with the same things."

"If it does turn out to be the same thing, I believe a meeting should be held," Maxwell said.

"Fine, we'll discuss it when we find out," Integra muttered and dropped the receiver back onto its base without a second thought. She didn't want to speak to anyone at the moment, especially not Iscariot.

Memories her mind fought to hide were beginning to trickle forth in an ever growing stream, shedding light onto the dark night she had thought had never happened. She rested her head in her hand and unwillingly allowed the memories come, knowing she had to face them sooner or later, and better now then never.

Alucard silently watched from the shadows. This was something he couldn't protect her from, so all he could to was watch. He sent a feeling of comfort through their telepathic connection and a small wave of gratitude answered him, but no words were said. None were needed. They just stayed there, sharing the company of one another.

Alucard's Familiar: "I am ashamed of posting this."

Seras: "At least you have something up."

Integra: "At least I don't sound like an idiot anymore."

Alucard's Familiar: *Throws mass amounts of Care Bears at her*

Integra: @_@

Seras: "Review! And try and be nice, AF needs the encouragement."
