Chapter 3 ~ The meeting
Lainey's Pov
Walking into the room I held tightly to Mary's arm, as we looked around. The lighting was dim so it made it hard to see but soon my eyes adjusted to the lighting. "Is this it then?" A figure stepped out of the shadows, both Mary and I backed into Alucard who put a hand on our shoulders. "Yes Integra, my master, these are the girls" I sucked in a breath as Sir Integra Hellsing stepped into the light. Her, almost, white blonde hair was in waves down her back and almost reaching her knees. "Y-your..." I stuttered in disbelief, she raised an eyebrow and I saw the ice blue eyes. Integra wasnt wearing her glasses and that I noted, "This isnt supposed to be real" I heard Mary protest. "Your organization isnt supposed to be real, vampires arent supposed to exist" she turned to me and clung to me in a hug. Integra walked right up to us and looked down, " I understand your confusion, but pull it together. You should be happy we exist, this organization was made to keep people like you in a blissful state of ignorance. If it werent for us you could count on being dead by now..." I backed away, pulling Mary with me, I had to agree with my friend this wasn't supposed to be real. "Why are we here? Take us back!" I demanded, Integra frowned. "I'm afraid I cant have that. You now will be working for us. You are now Hellsing property". I felt anger boiling in me. "We're not something that can be bought or sold. We dont belong to you, or anyone else!". Alucard growled, obviously not liking anyone to talk back to Integra. "You will show Integra your respect and follow her orders or I swear I will kill you now!" Both Mary and I gasped and backed into the wall. Mary looked at me and said, "I-is it not true ev-vrything happens for a r-reason? Even i-if we don't unders-stand it at the time?" I sighed and gave in, "fine..." Integra, who had a frowning Alucard hovering behind her, smiled. "Good, we have an understanding. Come, I'll show you to your rooms..." Mary and I looked at her in disbelief before being pushed forward by Alucard himself. "I have you beside each other and there is a door that connects the rooms from inside. I thought you might like that since you're close friends and all." All I could do was nod, staying beside Mary who was clinging to me tightly still. "Go on in and have a look see, I'll take you out later and we'll buy the bedding you like..." Integra turned swiftly and walked off, her blonde hair flowing behind her. Mary refused to let me go, to view her room alone, so we went in together. The high ceiling and space was unbelievable, like one of those child stars 'check out my crib' rooms but it looked better. The walls were red and the color centered around white roses. The room was styled like the victorian era. "Its pretty" was all Mary had to say and I chuckled as I headed over to the white door on the side of the room, allowing her to follow close by. I opened it to discover that my room was designed the same but in a differant color. My walls were white and the color centered around a red rose pattern on the walls. Mary giggled, "Why roses? It reminds me of history class and the battle of the roses" I smirked, remembering studying that. "Its pretty though and our rooms are almost alike!" I saw Mary's face brighten, "Yeah! Thats soooo cool! Hey, if shes going to buy us bedding should we center it to match the rooms?" I laughed, "Your warming up all quick like... I guess, but my bed should be red and yours white..." She turned to me, "Maybe both! But with the blanket holding the most color!" The talking went on for about an hour changing from one thing to the other before we went out and bought the items Sir integra suggested. It didnt take long to get to like her. She may have been a cold hearted woman, but she is someone you can deffinatly look up to.
