A/N: I know the last chapter ended rather abruptly, so it's here where the story continues. Oh, and if you are reading this chapter, thank you! I'm glad you decided to continue on in my fanfiction, even if it's only Chapter Two. Feel free to message me.

On that final note, Mirabelle stormed off with her food tray, racing bitterly to the trash cans to throw out the remains of her unwanted lunch.

Danika looked at Adrina, shocked at the stupidity of the words which were stated. "Why couldn't you have kept your mouth shut? Now look what we have to deal with, and it's all your fault."

"Well, sorry! She just gets too damn emotional," Adrina tried in her defense, but only Danika and Trin were listening. I was too focused on that odd feeling of being watched that one feels once in a while. I felt an uncanny sense of eyes on me, but I knew that the lunch line was gone, since most people went outside after eating. Still, I couldn't shake the notion of being stared at from my mind.

Suddenly, I heard a voice in my ear. Someone was calling my name. I looked, and it was Desdemona. "You okay?" she asked. "We were all gonna go outside. Are you coming?"

I tried to recollect my thoughts. "Yeah, sure." However, when I went to get up, I bumped into what I thought was the wall, until I realized it was too soft to be the large brick of Clearview's interior. What I saw nearly made me faint. It was Alucard.

"You... you..." I was tongue tied as I looked to his glasses, then back down to his abs, which were eye-level. I then reached out and touched his stomach and ran my hand down to his thigh to make sure what I saw was real. Indeed, I wasn't dreaming. I felt cloth beneath my bare skin, and I heard the undeniable laughter of this psychotic vampire hunter.

"Oh my God," I reacted, jumping back a few feet. "You're real. You're really... real!"

"What eloquent language you speak," he chuckled, placing one of his large, gloved hands to my right cheek, almost hypnotically pulling me closer.

"I've heard that before," I nervously was able to speak. "I sound a lot better when I write."

My only response was that crazy broad grin of his, the Hellsing trademark that any fan will recognize off the bat as being Alucard's. His hand slipped down to my neck. Then, it traveled to the back of my head, and he pulled me closer with his other hand as my neck projected forward and became visible. I was too speechless to talk, and as his orange sunglasses slipped down his bridge for a better view and I saw the red eyes, I felt my hands and feet go numb.

Where is everyone? I thought desperately. They couldn't have all went outside... could they?

Don't worry, I heard Alucard say, although when his lips didn't move, I knew he had heard my thoughts. I'm not going to drink so much that I'll kill you... hopefully.

"Well aren't you reassuring!" I nearly screamed, wondering where in the world the lunch-ladies had went. I couldn't get it to sink in right in my mind that I was all alone in the cafeteria, and that no one had noticed this weird vampire trying to bite me. It just didn't seem rational.

Alucard began to sit down on the bench at our lunch table, and grabbed my hip and balanced me against his thigh, with one of my legs draped over his other leg.

"Besides," I began to talk, although my voice was shaky. I felt the breath creeping closer to my neck. "Why the sudden interest in my blood? I'm only thirteen at the moment, and I'm not really even all that tall. I'm definitely not attractive. There's a whole bunch of other humans outside, running around, just calling to you. Are you just picking on me because I know what you are?"

"No. You were the closest target," he smirked.

I uttered a derogatory phrase about that being a very lowdown way to make a decision, and said something mean about his species. Inwardly, I was scolding myself for knowing exactly how to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. And where were my "so-called" friends?

"You also remind me of the police girl I turned," he broke me from my thoughts. "You both look a lot alike... she just didn't talk as much, or resist."

Well, I told you I am a Hellsing fan, and I knew for a fact that Seras, the police girl, was a blonde, with short hair and blue eyes before vampirism. I, on the other hand, am a brunette (although my hair is a dark red at the moment), with long, wavy hair and brown eyes. She is way prettier than I am... so I knew he was only talking about one thing. My chest.

That made me want to scream even more. Thankfully, I was able to save my voice box, as Danika began walking back into the cafeteria in search of me. I assumed that she finally noticed I was gone, and was heading toward our table when she saw the tall, red trench coat-wearing, black-haired, and obviously hungry vampire seated in my spot with his back to her.

"Scarlett?" She called out as she walked to the table, stopped across from the slouching vampire and tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me, but have you seen my friend? She has dark hair, brown eyes, she's kinda short, looks sort of like..."

He looked back to Danika, propping me up and holding me for Danika's view. Alucard smiled at Danika's wide, utterly awed expression. "This girl?"

"Yeah..." she said as I tried saying something to her about my safety, but instead, she looked at Alucard and had a sudden revelation. "Hey! You look a lot like that guy from Hellsing... Alucard."

I was mentally slapping myself. "That's because it's him."

She smiled giddily, with wide eyes and a bright display of her braces. "No way! Dude, that's awesome! We've got a vampire at Clearview... that so beats Paris Hilton. Oh my God! This is just so cool!"

Honestly folks, I could not have been more amazed if Danika had forgotten I was even there in his arms. She totally overlooked the fact that he was trying to bite me; instead, she tried to get to know him a little better. If you told me I wasn't round-eyed with my mouth agape, I would be astonished.

"So, Alucard, whatcha doing here in Clearview?" she smiled and sat down at her normal spot on the bench.

"Dani, what does it look like he's doing?" I asked, astounded at her utter lack of knowledge about the obvious.

"Oh!" she finally seemed to get the picture and got up from the table. "I didn't know you guys were... I'll let you have your privacy."

Lord, shoot me.

Alucard smirked. "Thank you."

"Anytime."
