Chapter 4: Nurse Alucard-Ch.4-
Steps echoed through the empty hall. The walls were aged as well as the traditions and beliefs that were sanctioned in this holy place. The silhouette of a figure approached an ancient door. With slight hesitation, he opened the door, went through and closed it behind him – softly.
"Ye' wanted ta' see me, Seir?"
"Yes, please do come forward." The dark silhouette's steps once again echoed through the ancient building as he stepped forward to the desk.
"Wha' es it? I am 'ere to seirve."
"Good. Then you wouldn't mind if I were to dispatch you to England immediately?"
"Immedia'ly ye' sey?" The silhouette's smile grew wide enough for either side to reach the separate ends of the Earth.
"Yes. The leader of that organization dared to call me a 'warthog'. I have as little regard for them as I have for the vampire filth we exterminate. You are to go to England and stop the bug problem from coming over here – find it's source and terminate it."
"And Wha' do propose Iye do if Iye w're to run into that vaimpire?"
"Do what you must. He is a vampire. And seen equal in the eyes of God are all vampires and all who side with such filth."
"And how do ye purpose Iye find a convenient waiy to engage with him in baittle?" The other man grinned.
"I've been informed that he and Miss Seras have enrolled in a driving school."
-Ch.4-
Seras trudged through the sludge to her limo. Count on the bloody English weather to always come and aid your very worst days. The only thing Seras wanted was to go home, eat a bowl of soup and sleep the day away. Seras groaned. At least she still could eat soup. Since she was now a vampire, she was limited to liquid things since her vampiric body really had no more need for solid foods.
"Hello, Miss Victoria. To the Hellsing manor I take it?" the limo driver asked as he opened the door for Seras.
"Yes, please," Seras replied with a short sigh as she sat down in the limo.
"Police Girl, unless you want me to sit on your lap, I suggest you scoot over," Alucard ginned down. Seras sighed exasperatedly before scooting over. The last thing she wanted was to have a heavy-weight vampire sit on her and crush every bone in her body.
-Ch.4-
Integra sat at her desk, still smoking one of her priceless cigars. Once in a while she shuffled her papers and attempted to get them in order. She had almost finished organizing them, so maybe it was Alucard who always distracted her?
Master, I'm home!! Integra cringed on the outside and groaned inside.
"Alucard!! How many times must tell you not to use telepathy on me!? Integra growled at the walls. "How was it?" Integra asked, suddenly thinking of why Alucard wasn't there in the first place.
Oh, it was fun. Police girl almost got trampled on, our teacher's name is the type of Scottish food you won't touch, and we took an easy quiz on which Police Girl tried to cheat.
Integra frowned. Somehow, she thought it was unlikely that Seras was the one cheating. "Where's Officer Victoria?" Alucard frowned in thought, instantly opening his telepathic channel with Seras.
I believe she has caught a cold. Maybe I should nurse her…"No! Alucard you will do no such thing!"
But Master, she is my fledgling! Alucard grinned. The wide grin now visible in Integra's office – on the furthest wall.1
"Because, Alucard, if you can remember what happened when you tried to nurse me when I got sick?" Integra growled towards the wall. Alucard pondered. Of course! How could he forget!?
-Ch.4-
Ten years ago . . .
"Alright, Alucard. I'm leaving you in charge of Integra. The medicine for her developing flu is the bottle third from the right, second shelf from the bottom. I'll be back in a few days." Walter instructed Alucard. Now that Integra's father had died, Walter took it upon himself to become Integra's supervisor. However, his mother's illness caused him to go back to South America.
"Of course. I can remember that," Alucard grinned. Walter frowned. Somehow, he felt uneasy leaving this vampire with Integra – but what other choice did he have?
"Goodbye then. I'll be back in about a week." Alucard's only response was to grin wider.
After Walter left, Alucard started to search around the grounds for Integra. Her scent was easy enough to pick up. He suddenly stepped on something.
"Owww, heifer," the thing exclaimed. Alucard looked down. Very down. Integra was lying flat, face in the carpet. Alucard picked her up by the scruff of her clothing until she was face-to-face with him.
"What, were you taking a nap?" Alucard snickered.
"Oh shut up," was Integra's only reply before she sneezed twice in a row.
-Integra's Point of View: Start-
My head . . .Integra whined to herself as she continued walking. What am I supposed to do again? Oh, yes, go to the library. Integra sighed. She hated being home-schooled. Actually, she hated school in general.
Worst of all Walter is leaving today. I have to stay at home with that horrible vampire. Integra's sneezing stopped her thoughts. She continued to walk before she tripped on something. She landed face down into the carpet.
What the bloody--!? Oh, I didn't know our carpet was so soft . . .so warm . . .so inviting. I suppose my project can wait a few minutes. This nap will do me good. Integra smiled as she let herself be dragged into sleep-land. He nice world was interrupted by something very heavy stepping on her.
-Integra's Point of View: End-
"Oh, it looks like our little Hellsing has caught a cold," Alucard grinned his Cheshire-like grin. Alucard put Integra over his shoulder.
"But I don't want to . . ." Integra began before she started drifting into sleep. Alucard then walked to Integra's room, lay her on her bed and went off in search of the medicine.
When he finally reached the medicine cabinet he opened it and just looked at it. It was about ten shelves high and the width of Alucard's height and probably had all the medicine in the world on it.
Let's see, didn't he say second from the top and third from the left? Alucard didn't even bother to look at the bottle as he simply took it and went on his way.
When he got to Integra's room, he saw that she had somehow found her way under the covers and her shoes were thrown on the ground.
"I've got your medicine," Integra took one look at it. Yeuch. I hate medicine. No way I'm taking it. Integra turned away from Alucard and pulled the covers over her head. Alucard frowned. I'm going to make her take her medicine even if I have to use force! Alucard calmly yanked Integra's covers off her as she yelped; he opened the bottle. He sat down on the bed as he pulled Integra to him. He got her head in a headlock.
"Let me GO!!!" Integra yelled as she attempted to unclench Alucard's arm from her neck. Unfortunately, he had a death-grip on her. 2 Alucard clenched Integra's nose, causing her to fully open her mouth as he emptied the bottle's contents, fully. Integra's eyes widened. After the bottle was empty, Alucard released Integra.
"Now that wasn't so bad was it?"
"I don't know what the HELL that is, but it's NOT flu medicine!!" Integra ran off to her bathroom and started hurling into her toilet. As Integra retched out the contents of her stomach, Alucard started reading the label.
"Hmm 'Middle Eastern Cure for Snakebites'3." Alucard turned it over to look at the ingredients. "Crushed ram's eyes, camels' milk, ground scorpion brain, nutmeg, camel's liver, rosemary, goat's blood . . ." Alucard decided to stop right there. Integra's retching wasn't going to stop at this rate.
Forty minutes later . . .
Integra finished brushing her teeth, flossing and rinsing. She would have yelled at Alucard, had she the energy. She merely walked to her bed and slumped on it. Alucard covered her with a blanket before heading out of the room to find – someplace to laugh.
-Ch.4-
Present day . . .
"Come on, master. It wasn't THAT bad now was it?" This question earned a glare from Integra.
"Alucard, get out of my office and stay away from Seras. I'll have Walter deal with her." Integra stated in her "ordering" voice – Alucard looked almost hurt. He simply sighed and disappeared into the nearest wall.
-Ch.4-
Why don't this bloody door OPEN?! Oh, I'm turning it the wrong way . . . Seras finally opened her door and as soon as she did she closed it and ran to her bed. She plopped on it face down – her face buried into the pillow. A knock came at the door.
"Miss Victoria."
"Mmmff."
"Miss Victoria?"
"MMMFF!!!"
"I'm sorry Miss Victoria, I do not believe I understand." Seras groaned and turned her head to the side, facing the door.
"Yes, Walter?"
"I brought you some soup—" No sooner had the word "soup" come out of Walter's mouth, Seras already had the door open.
"Oh! What kind is it??" Seras asked as she peered into the big bowl.
"Chicken noodle, I believe."
"Thank you, Walter!!" Seras practically jumped for joy as she took the bowl from Walter and went to her table.
"Enjoy, Miss Victoria." Seras was already half way finished.
-Ch.4-
The next day . . .
Seras rolled over. My bed is so warm . . .Happy thoughts of warm things came to mind: soup, sleeping and more sleeping.
Police Girl. Seras groaned.
"What is it, master?" She muffled into her pillow.
You have ten minutes to get ready for your school before I leave without you. Seras eyes shot open.
"MASTER!! Why didn't you tell me SOONER?!!"
It's just not fun that way. And once again maniacal laughter filled her room.
Seras started to rush around her room. That is, after she untangled herself from the sheets. She ran into her closet and dressed in the first outfit she grabbed. She ran to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She then ran out of the room like the hounds of hell were upon her.
-Ch. 4-
Footnotes:
1 I watched the anime and I realized that Alucard has this annoying habit of making random body parts appear on walls out of nowhere.
2 Yes! Indeed another undead pun!! Yipee!! See, cuz cuz Alucard is dead and and he has a "death-grip" on Integra and and ummm yeah. :)
3 No offense to anyone that would be offended. Some of these ingredients ARE used but I do not know if they are mixed together.
