The Fifth Element
Darker: Alo! Wow! Two chapters in one day! This'll be my second chapter of today! I am on a roll! Now that I have found some fun music to write to, I can really enjoy myself!
Alucard: And the music you were listening to a while ago, that wasn't fun?
Darker: It was, it was Koyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass. Check it out. Very awesome dark music. But now I'm listening to Tribal Trance, which is Australian music. Tried to find the soundtrack to The Fifth Element, but no luck. Oh well!
Shadow: Now how are you going to torture us?
Seras: She has her ways no doubt…
Shadow: Oh great….AND I DON'T HAVE BLACK HAIR! WHY'D YOU GIVE ME BLACK HAIR! I DEMAND YOU TAKE IT BACK! I HAVE RED HAIR! REEEED HAAAAIR!
Alucard: And copper highlights.
Shadow: Yes that too.
Darker: FOR YOU ART MY CHARACTER AND YOU SHALT DO WHAT I SAY!…er…WRITE! -clears throat- Anyway, moving right along!
The Fifth Element Chapter 4, Wild Woman and Mall Madness, Beware!
Alucard helped Shadow out of the cab and held up upright. She was still pretty shaky from what happened. He escorted her to the mall and pretty much lead her to a department store to find her something to wear. But the department store wasn't where she wanted to go. Out of the corner of her brilliant blue/green eyes she saw red lights flashing and loud music blaring. She walked towards it, letting go of Alucard's hand.
"Hey! Shadow get back here!" he called after her and hurried to catch up.
"Ekta! Youbira flawan!" she said and pointed to the store.
"Um…what? You want to go in there? Alright…" he said and followed after her. She giggled and skipped over to the store. His jaw literally hit the ground as she began to pull the clothing on right there. "No, honey. We use a dressing room." he said and lead her a back room. "Um, Ma'am…can you please help me? She's not from around here and doesn't know how everything works." he said to one of the people who worked there.
"Of coarse sir. We'll have her fixed up! No worries!" she said and helped Shadow in the dressing room.
Alucard had to wonder what was going on in there. There was loud crashes and laughter. He looked at the clock in the store and sighed heavily. "Finger's really going to kill me…."
"Sir? She's all set. She really seems to like it." the woman said and motioned for Shadow to step out.
Alucard turned to look at Shadow. He cleared his throat and nodded. "Thank you. Thank you very much. She looks great." he said and paid for Shadow's new clothing.
Shadow bounded over to him, her black knee high leather boots with steal plated toes clunked heavily. She wrapped her arms around Alucard's neck and laughed. She pulled her black shirt with a neon green symbol on it down to cover her stomach. Her pants were low, black and tight. They were also ripped, but were stitched up with red and blue thread.
Alucard made a funny noise. "Shadow…you're choking me…sweetie please let go…" he coughed out. Shadow smiled widely and backed off, holding out his red duster. "Thanks." he pulled it on over his white tank top and took the bag with her old clothing.
Shadow ran out of the store, laughing and spun around, looking at the large mall. She darted off watched as a restaurant made soft pretzels.
"SHADOW! SHADOW!" Alucard yelled out and ran after the Supreme Being. He skidded to a halt besides the girl. "Whoa, honey, you have to wait for me alright? I can't lose you." he said and looked around. "Are you hungry….not again…" he said as he saw her run away from him. He rolled his eyes and let out heavy sigh then chased after her.
Shadow laughed loudly and jumped over a walkway barrier with ease, landing on her feet and did a running jump type movement. She got lots of strange looks and shouts of anger. She glared at them and continued to do bizarre tricks off of the escalators and the higher level to lower level.
Needless to say Alucard was having a hard time keeping up with her. He followed her as best as he could, showing what he really was every once in a while. 'Damn you, Shadow….get back here!' he hissed in his mind, turning into mist and appearing in front of her. He reached out and grabbed her by the shoulders.
Shadow grabbed his arms and flipped him, jumping over him and continued to run. Her heart was racing. She could feel evil coming from him, but he was so nice to her. She actually cared and treated her as a regular person, not some machine.
After the Hellsing Organization had died off, Alucard became free and did whatever he wanted. But out of old habit, he began to inactivate the seals, which no longer bound him. He stopped once he saw Shadow do a back flip from the fifth floor of the mall and land on her feet on the first floor. He cursed and jumped over the railing landing ten feet away from her and bolted towards her.
By this time, the police were there and after their tails once again. "SHADOOW! STOP!" he shouted and grabbed her by the arm and pulled them into a crowded store. She opened her mouth to say something, or scream, but he cupped a hand over her mouth. "Shhh…don't speak. We'll have to wait until things die down once again. In the mean time, let's get something to eat, alright?"
Shadow's eyes were wild and she stared at the cab driver known as Alucard Dallas. She sensed concern in his voice and nodded, now knowing what she was agreeing to, but she felt she could trust this human. Shadow didn't know if he was human, or if he was something else. Whatever he was, she felt a strong bond of trust. He had saved her multiple times already and didn't even think about using her as a weapon.
After a few minutes Alucard peaked out of the store to find the coast was clear. He took Shadow's hand and lead her out and into the food court. He ordered himself a coffee and an ice cream for Shadow. "Here hon. It's vanilla. It's good. Try it." Alucard said and held out the cone for Shadow. She stared at it blankly then looked to his face. Alucard sighed heavily and set his coffee down and licked the ice cream. "See? It's good." he said, ignoring the sharp pain as the ice cream slid down his throat.
Shadow smiled widely and took the cone, licking the ice cream quickly. She laughed, looking to her now white nose.
Alucard grabbed a napkin and wiped it from her nose, smiling. He took a sip of his coffee and let out a sigh. He nearly dropped the coffee as Shadow snatched it from his hands and gulped it down.
She dropped it and started to wave at her mouth. "Ata! Ata!" she exclaimed and danced around.
Alucard caught the coffee before it hit the ground and handed her the ice cream again. "Hot. Coffee is hot." he said and pointed to the cup of hot java. "Cold. Ice cream is cold." he did the same to the ice cream.
"Cold? Coffee hot?" she repeated and took the ice cream.
"Yeah! You're getting the hang of this English stuff." Alucard said and sat down. He motioned for her to join him. She took a seat across from him. He smiled and looked into her eyes. "You know somethin'? I'm gettin the strangest feeling of déjà vu."
Shadow smiled widely, not knowing what he just told her, but the tone of his voice said it must be good. She began to rattle something off in her language, using hand gestures and everything.
Alucard raised an eyebrow. "Um, what? Yeah, I understood boom."
"Boom?"
"Yeah, boom. Um, boom in the cab."
"Bada boom."
Alucard laughed. "Big bada boom in the cab!"
Shadow laughed along with him. She tilted her head to the side and thought for a moment. "Eta! Eta cab!" she said and stood up, walking out of the food court.
"I'm guessing eta means come." he mumbled to himself and followed her. "Hey, Shadow listen! I'm not one for-what am I saying? She's not even from around here."
Once outside, Shadow trotted over to the cab. "CAB!"
Alucard laughed and jogged over to her. "Yes. Cab." He listened to her speak her language and climb through the whole in the roof. "It's called a door Shadow." Alucard said softly and got in. He started his cab up and took off.
"Priest….Alexander…Anderson…" Shadow said softly. She yawned widely. "Priest."
"You don't need a priest. We'll get you to a doctor alright? I forgot about your wounds."
"PRIEST!" she shouted and passed out in the backseat.
"Alright! Alright!" Alucard said and made a weird face. 'And I thought I needed anger manegment…' he thought and went on a search to find the priest.
