Love In the Dark
Ch. 4
The sun began to set as Cassandra's eyes drifted toward the large window in the main room. She smiled lightly and began to head toward her aunt's office. She stepped lightly almost as if to sneak up on her aunt. She walked up to the door and closed her eyes as she knocked.
"Come in," came the familiar command.
Cassandra placed a slender hand on the knob and pushed the door open. She peeked around the edge of the door before entering. As she walked to Integra's desk she kept looking into the dark corners of the room.
"Why is it that you never have any of your lights on?" Cassandra said as she focused on one corner of the room.
"Because the dark is more welcoming," Integra smirked as she rested her hands on the arms of the chair.
"And just who are we welcoming?" Cassandra was now facing her aunt, both of them staring deep into the blue eyes of the other. Integra began to chuckle, as her niece glared violently at her.
"Master…" A voice came from one of the dark corners.
Cassandra's eyes widened a fraction, and in an instant she had her gun out and pointed in the direction of the intruder; as did Alucard. Integra looked on as the human and the vampire had a face off.
"I don't think you can intimidate her, Alucard." Integra began to rise from her seat. Alucard's smirk widened.
"And shooting him isn't going to do you any good, Cassandra." Integra came inbetween the two children. Cassandra's smirk widened.
Integra looked back and forth at the two of them, and sighed. "Will you two please put your guns away!"
"Him first!"
"Her first!"
They spoke in unison, but they both began to lower their weapons at the same time. Cassandra held her gun at the ready just in case, while Alucard put his back in its holder.
"Now, can we act like civilized people and sit down and discuss this!" Integra's voice didn't sound like she wanted to deal with Cassandra's teenage attitude, or Alucard's three year old one!
"I thought monsters couldn't be civilized," Cassandra said looking directly at Alucard instead of her aunt.
"And I thought hunters would have more manners," Alucard smirked at his comeback. But once again they both had their guns in each others faces.
There came a knock from the door and Integra said her usual words. A young woman with blond hair and red eyes walked in. She was dressed in a blue uniform and thigh high black socks with black combat boots. "Sir?" Said Ceres as she looked at the scene in front of her.
Cassandra smiled, and whipped out another gun and pointed it at Ceres, "okay, just who in the hell is she?"
"If you shoot either one of them I'll have you in a cell for the rest of your life, and the same goes for you two, Ceres and Alucard. NOW PUT THE GUNS AWAY!!"
Alucard and Cassandra did as they were told, and took their appointed seats. Ceres stood by her master's side.
"Now let's get down to business. Cassandra?" Integra looked at the girl with her arms crossed and a scowl on her face. "Would you like to be included in this meeting or not?"
"Depends on if there is something in it for me." She whispered.
"Look, we are all aware that you are a hunter, so will you just co-operate with us for a minute?" Integra sighed.
"I don't make deals with vampire representatives!" She exclaimed.
Alucard began to laugh, "vampire representatives! Is she that clueless Integra?"
"SILENCE!" Integra snapped.
All amusement vanished from Alucard's face and he turned his head away from Integra embarrassed.
Cassandra was confused, "huh?"
"Alucard here is my servant, he is part of the family. Ceres, the one in the uniform, is his… apprentice… I think, but they are not normal vampires. They are on our side, they kill vampires with the rest of my organization." Integra was keeping a pretty cool tone for the circumstances.
"Servant?" Said Cassandra looking over at Alucard.
"Yes, my father was the one who caught him. He could escape anytime, but he stays out of respect for my father."
"Still…" Cassandra began.
Integra knew what she was going to say, but figured the two vampires didn't. "Still, what?"
"Still, they can't be trusted."
Ceres looked at Cassandra surprised. "What have we ever done to you?"
Cassandra began to rise, "you stole my parents from me." And with that she exited the room.
"Alucard, prepare yourself, you and her are going to have you first training session tonight." Integra said, and she waited for a refusal from Cassandra, but none came.
Alucard looked behind him at Cassandra and smiled. "Fun."
"Like wise, vampire." Whispered Cassandra.
