Chapter 4: The Ball & The Kiss
Dear Miss Hellsing,
It has come to my attention that you are Kathrin Hellsing the daughter of Integra Hellsing...I am throwing a formal Christmas ball this Saturday and you are to come bring whome ever you like as long as they are dressed for the occasion,
Thank you for your time
Sincerly,
The Queen
Kathrin looked at the letter in disgust.
"Why would I want to go to a ball when I have noone to go with!" she said and threw the letter on the desk Alucard appeared and looked at her.
"Master what is wrong?" he asked
Kathrin looked over at him and smiled.
"Alucard...nothing is wrong...but, you are going to this damned ball with me as my date...it is this weekend" Kathrin said
Alucard stood there his eyes wide with surprise that is the first someone had actually asked him to go when Integra was alive she made him stay at home and she went with someone else. He nodded and bowed
"Yes, Master" he said and dissappear threw the wall.
She sighed and sat there looking over a file.
"Well that was easier then I thought it would be" she said and chuckled slight.
Walter walked slowly in and saw her he smiled and walked over next to her.
"Miss Hellsing...are you going to that ball?" he asked her
She nodded and looked up at him.
"Yes, why Walter?" she asked.
He took her hand and drug her down to Integra's old room Kathrin hadn't been in there since the day her mother had died Walter slowly walked over to her wardrobe and opened it he had to search the very back of the wardrobe until he pulled out a long white evening gown that had red stripes around the bottom there was no back to it and it was sleevless or so she thought until Walter pulled out a pair of elbow high gloves.
"Walter I had no idea...my mother wore dresses" she said and looked at the dress it was satin silk which must have cost alot of money
He smiled and handed her the dress.
"She didn't but, this is the dress that she wore to the last ball she ever when to and I think you would look lovely in it...but, of course you look just like your mother so you would look like her in anything..." he said and walked out of the room for the first time Kathrin felt great sadness wash over her. Her mother was gone and she wasn't going to be able to be there for her night she felt tears fall from her eyes on the dress and she started to weep Alucard heard this and appeared in the room. He slowly walked over to her
"Master what is wrong?" he asked and wiped her tears away with his finger.
"Alucard...its nothing" she muttered and put the dress up, but she could tell he didn't believe her for one moment.
"You miss your mother don't you?" he asked her
She nodded slightly as more tears found their way out of her eyes he wiped each one of them away in the blink of an eye she run up and hugged him wanting comfort he was surprised at first becuase noone since Mina had ever hugged him like this but, he soon welcomed her embrace and hugged her back.
"This is the first time I have cried since her funeral...Alucard" she muttered.
He didn't speak but, he listened Walter peeked and saw them he smiled and walked off slowly to get things ready for the most romantic night of Kathrin's life.
The day of the dance came quicker then Kathrin wanted it to but, she had to go for her mother's honor and Alucard seemed kind of happy about it because he was being more obniouxious then ever.
Kathrin sat in her room looking at her self in the mirror the dress fit her like a glove the sleeves were smooth on her skin and her skin was smooth plus she had her hair down which a once in a lifetime thing for her she put on her makeup by the time all that was done it was time to go see the queen then get to the ball Alucard stood downstairs waiting he was wearing his traditional suit jacket combo but, he had his hair down to his shoulders Walter also stood waiting for her.
"Wait till you see her Alucard...it will take your breath away I have seen her already" Walter said and laughed softly
Alucard looked at him and nodded just as Kathrin stood at the top of the stairs Alucard's eyes widened greatly and he waited for her to come down she slowly walked down the stairs a small blush creeped up on her face as she stood infront of Alucard.
"You look lovely Master" he said and smiled.
She nodded and looked over at Walter who smiled and ushered them out the door once outside the Hellsing limo was waiting they linked arms and smiled Alucard helped her in the limo and sat next to her he looked around the limo quietly.
"I haven't been in here since I was with your mother once" he said quietly.
Kathrin nodded and smiled "I have never been in it before" she said
Once at the ballroom Alucard helped her out and walked inside slowly there were a bunch of people there already and they all looked at her their eyes were wide in amazment and then they all clapped Alucard walked behind her trying not to make a scene because he knew what kind of dishonor it would be for her to walk in with a vampire. Kathrin suddenly stopped when she saw the queen sitting there looking at them.
"Its okay dear do not be scared" the queen's raspy voice said
Kathrin nooded and slowly walked up to her she bowed.
"It is nice to finally meet you your heiness" she said softly and smiled
"The pleasure is all mine dear...after all you are Integra Hellsing's daughter" she said and then looked to Alucard
"Are you her date?" the queen asked him
Alucard nodded and walked up he bent down on one knee and kissed her hand
"Your Magesty" he said and stood back up he then looked over at Kathrin she nodded and at in a chair next to the queen and smiled.
The music started out fast then as the evening came to a close there was one last song that the queen had prepared espically for Alucard and Kathrin. The queen stood and put her hand up the room fell silent.
"Will Kathrin Hellsing and Alucard please stand!" she said and looked at Kathrin and Alucard
They looked around and slowly stood up Kathrin was blushing a deep shade of red and Alucard was just being Alucard
"I dedicate this song to them...its called "The Dance" " she said as the music slowly started to play Alucard took Kathrin's hand and the both walked out in the middle of the dance floor.
"You look lovely Master" Alucard muttered as they danced
"Well you look handsome Alucard" She said and smiled
"Ah, thank you Master" he said
"Please Alucard call me Kathrin" she said
He nodded and they kept dancing right at the end of the song Alucard pulled one of his famous moves and dipped her low to the ground she was very surprised.
His face was two inches away from hers her blush had deepened a great amount which made him laugh softly at this.
"Are you embrassed Miss Kathrin?" he asked her smiling
"No, just very surprised Alucard" she said and sighed as he brought her back up
The queen stood slowly "Thank you all for coming I had a lovely evening and I hope all you did also..." she said and looked at Kathrin and Alucard. Just as the ballroom was cleared Alucard looked down at Kathrin and wrapped his arms around her waist he brought his lips to her while carressing her cheek.
"Master..." he said in her mind.
"...A-A-Aluard!" she said and fell limp in his arms.
He smiled and lifted her up he saw that she was sleeping in his arms just like last time
Walter welcomed them home and saw Alucard slowly walk inside and lay Kathrin on her bed.
"I believe Alucard..that was the most romantic night of her young life" Walter said standing in the doorway
Alucard looked up at him and nodded.
"I think so to Walter" he said and dissappeared through the floor it was almost dawn and he was tired.
I DON'T OWN HELLSING SADLY! -SOBS-
