Hi! Thanks so much to everyone who reviewed! I know, so far there are only two of you that I don't know. But thank you any way! Some things I'd like to say;
chibi suzaku kitsune: please don't say update or die. I had a brief (like five minute) suicidal spat once, thatI don't want to relive. But as for making the fic longer, its getting there! There are ten chapters in all, and I hope you like them. Oh, and at the end, it's a little awkward. I re-worked it several times, and can't get it right. But that's not for five chapters now, so I'll shut up.
Tora-Yasha Chan: Thanks! And I can't get 'Tegra in character, so she'll just have to stay a little OOC. But the hug just made my day, so once again, thanks.
Disclaimer: I'm Baaaack! Doing my own disclaimer, I give you…Not my topic! Yes, I don't own Hellsing. Sigh
Chapter 5: The Hellsing Manor
A slow grin spread across Alucard's face. He clamped his hands down on my shoulders, and everything went black. My sense of time has always been shoty at best. I didn't know how long we had traveling when suddenly we stopped. I opened my eyes and looked up.
"Wow." I said. The mansion was huge. And spooky. It looked like it needed a lightning flash behind it or something. In fact, it did have something. A graveyard. I could just barely see it in the distance. I turned back to Alucard and picked my jaw up off the ground.
"How many miles, of land does this place have?" he just grinned. I shook my head again at the sheer size of the place.
"What do you do with all the space?" I was calmer now, and managed not to screech.
"Well, there's the shooting range, the woods, the barracks, the garages, the training ground, and the graveyard." He seemed to be enjoying my amazement.
"Again, wow. Big place. And you, what? Hunt monsters here?" he chuckled, but didn't answer. At that moment, the black car of Sir Integra drove in through the gate. At the door, Sir Integra got out, and the car drove off. She glared at me, then Alucard, then said:
"Alucard, take her to see Miss Victoria. I want them to be acquainted." Alucard bowed his head, then turned and walked through the giant front doors. I followed him as quietly as possible. He led me through a few halls. Then down a stone staircase. It was a maze, and I tried to stay close to him. He laughed when he saw me trotting to keep up with his long stride.
"Afraid of the dark?" he whispered. A shiver ran down my spine, but I smirked.
"Not likely, since I'm following the most frightening thing here right now. I'm just afraid to get lost and die of starvation, or more likely, dehydration. I always fancied a quick death." He chuckled again. I was rapidly falling in love with that chuckle. He came to a stop at a door and knocked.
"Police Girl! Come and meet your new room mate!" I tilted my head. Police Girl? The door opened, and I saw a young woman with red/blond hair, a bright blue uniform, and blood red eyes.
"Master!" she exclaimed. The cheery smile showed off her fangs quite nicely. I let out my hissing snicker. She blinked in surprise and looked at me. I got my laughter under control and said to Alucard:
"Your fledgling, I presume?" he grinned manically.
"Master, who's this?" the young vampire asked. Alucard whipped his hat off in a mock bow to us.
"I'll leave you two to get to know each other, shall I?" his laughter echoed around the room even after he was gone. I looked at the vampire, and she looked at me. I cleared my throat and decided to break the silence.
"Well, um…can I come in?" I asked. She narrowed her eyes at me.
"Your one of masters older children, aren't you?" she asked suspiciously. I blinked. She thought I was a vampire? I cackled.
"Nope, sorry. I'm just some kid off the street. M' names Scott." She sighed with what seemed to be relief. Opening her door wider, she gave me a grin.
"Come on in." she said. I did so. I noted a table, two chairs, a wardrobe, and…a four-poster coffin. Well la de da. On the table was a bucket with a bag of medicinal blood in it. So they didn't just feed on any passing victim, eh? Interesting. I sat in one of the chairs and said off-handedly:
"Nice coffin. By the way, I'm not sure I caught your name."
"Oh! It's Seras! Sorry." She seemed slightly frazzled by my moving in and making myself comfortable. Maybe it was the fact that my hood was still up. I glanced at the blood bag, then back at her.
"Not hungry?" she blushed.
"You can have it, I don't really like it." She mumbled. So she did think I was a vampire. I could toy with this. Something told me not go to far though. She seemed fragile, and unsure of what she was. I took the blood in on hand and tossed it to the other. Glancing at the type, I saw "O negative".
"No thanks, not my type, literally." Her eyes widened. Great, Scott, antagonize the poor girl. Poor girl? She's a vampire! Sheesh, am I ever twisted. I rolled my eyes at myself. Seras was staring at me. It was kinda freaky with those red eyes.
"What?" I asked. She looked me over once before saying:
"You're human!" I nodded.
"Yep. And a girl child at that." I put my feet on the table and leaned back, tilting the chair on two legs.
"You're a girl?" she exclaimed. I saw jealousy flash in her eyes.
"Yes. Is something wrong?" she balled her fists and glared at me.
"Y-you stay away from my Master!" she chocked out.
A/N: I think this one is longer! I hope you all enjoy. Wow am I ever eager to please. I'll leave you alone now. Bye!
