Colin felt like his left arm was about to be torn off his body. Miss Seras´firm grip wouldn´t allow him to run off, so he was forced to almost sprint through the corridors of the orphanage. Only the loud clinking of her high heels could be heard and she wasn't even looking at the young boy.
He wondered what was going to happen to him. Maybe it wouldn't be something really bad for only breaking the window, but after the words he had used in Mother Superior's cabinet he was sure he was as good as dead. Some kind of childlish solidarity stirred in Colin – at least Emily and Rez wouldn't suffer.
There was something strange about Miss Seras. She was wearing a solemn face, but Colin saw something like sparkles of energy in her eyes, like they were calling out: „Come on! Play with me!". Even so, the boy was a bit scared of her. She stopped nun Ann from hitting him. Not that he didn't like it, but then miss Seras took him by the chin. The way she was looking at him, like she thought of him as something to eat. After a while, she started acting like a chunk of steel again. Without a word she took him by a hand and left the cabinet.
So Colin was almost running behind Miss Seras, and uncountable pairs of eyes were gazing through gaps of half-opened doors. Once again, he wondered what was going to be his punishment. They were already outside the orhpanage, on the way to the mysterious Hellsing Mansion; they weren't allowed to go there and it was almost impossible to see anyone who went inside. But there were maids and gardeners for sure, because children could see them from time to time, cleaning windows, or taking care of the huge garden. The orphanage was surrounded by tall railings, so no one was able come near it. Apart from one of Colin's shots. But it was...
„Stop! STOP! Please."
Hearing that plea, a bit importunate, but still a mannered request, Miss Seras obeyed and turned around to face someone. Colin froze seeing a bunch of blonde hair and a piar of rounded glasses in company of curly dark hair.
„It wasn't completely his fault," the fairy-headed girl stated. „Miss Seras, it was an accident. We were playing and when Colin shot, Rez wasn't able to catch the ball and it flew and broke one of your windows."
As she continue on talking, Miss Seras' eyes grew wider and wider. Colin was a bit worried what it might mean. Maybe she is that angry, that her eyes are about to pop out, he wondered. It would be good if nothing happend to Rez at least.
„So I want to say sorry and hope, that we could get on better in the future." blondie ended her speech with a polite bow and so did the boy hiding behind her, only few seconds late. He had curly black hair and his facial features seemed like he wasn't from that part of Europe.
Miss Seras' eyebrow went up and after a half of a minute she spoke:
„And your names are...?"
„Emily Patterson!" Emily stated with slight pride. „And this is Rez Farkas. The boy you are holding, Miss Seras, is Colin Dufarge."
„All of you. Come with me."
