Pleeeeeeease? Some one take two minutes to review! I'm not doing any more on this fic till I get one more review, good bad or otherwise. And the next chapter is really good. It doesn't have to be a real word even! Just some kind of sign that somebody out there is reading this!

Disclaimer: Alucard): "The pathetic mortal writing this is in the corner, babbling about being too small for the world to notice. She is annoying me. Review to her so she shuts up. And she doesn't own us. Now read, before I shoot someone you know."

Chapter 4: Mew Member

"Alucard! I told you to remove tonight's memories from her mind!" Sir Integra glared at him. He grinned again.

"I can't." He said simply. She stared.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean what I say, Master, I can't even reach those memories, let alone, tweak, or erase them." He chuckled. Walter opened his mouth to say something, but Sir Integra interrupted.

"You? Of all things on this earth, a girl child stopped you?"

"Master, you forget. You yourself were but a child, in truth younger than she, when you tamed me." She closed her eyes.

"That was different." She snapped, "You were already bound to my family, my blood. And I've had training to help me shield my mind from vampires. She has none of this. I refuse to believe that the great No-Life king is being subdued by a mere, untrained whelp!" I hissed. They all looked at me. I blushed and looked down.

"Sorry. But that insult, those insults, hurt a lot." I muttered to my feet. Sir Integra's glare softened slightly.

"It is I who must be sorry. I shouldn't have said such things without evidence. You've had training in your mind then?" I shook my head.

"Not exactly. My mind is organized in weird way, and I meditate a lot. Also, I once read this book, that sorta gave me the idea of keeping my memories safe. Not really training, but then, maybe that's a good thing. It means my defense isn't predictable." I shrugged. Alucard moved up beside me.

"What about that first attack? It was incredible. I could have sworn they were other people invading your mind." I blushed.

"They're…my imaginary friends, two of them anyway. I worked on them so that they were powerful, but plausible. And they have family, friends, pasts. They're almost real to me," I grimaced. "Especially the way they're always telling me to do my homework." Walter blinked. Sir Integra frowned. Alucard paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Well, Master, what do we do with her? We can't tweak her mind and we can't risk her talking. Do we kill her?" Alucard was still chuckling. I shivered. His glasses slid down, revealing one, blood red eye. He stared at me, making me uncomfortable. He opened his mouth, and I saw his fangs glitter in the meager light of the quarter moon. My eyes flicked back to his, and I realized my mouth was open. I licked my lips nervously, and close it. The weight of his gaze was intense: hunger. I fought not to step back as he took a step toward me. Sir Integra seemed to be contemplating on weather or not to comply with Alucard's wishes. I swallowed and cleared my throat.

"Before I die, if I die, I want to know. How is Alucard bound to your family?" Sir Integra raised an eyebrow.

"Why ask?" she questioned.

"I've only heard of one ritual for binding a vampire, and it doesn't involve the vampire staying awake. Nor must said vampire call said human 'master.' I want to know more. If only for a few minutes, I still want to know." Sir Integra stared at me blankly for a minute, then her mouth twisted.

"Alucard?" she said.

"Yes Master?"

"Bring her along. We have a new member."


Integra): I've never seen some one actually flood a floor with tears.

Seras): She's depressed! The world is ignoring her!

Walter): Mayhap she needs some time alone?

Scottthespy): Yes! You all leave now! I must sulk in peace! shoves all characters out the door
