Amen :: A Hellsing Tale :: Part 2 :: Old Friends

"Hello there." You answered softly, blushing, for your face was only inches away from his. He smiled and removed his large red hat; placing it on top of your head. You laughed and played with the wide brim. "I missed this old thing."

"There are no missions tonight Alucard," Your mother said with an irritated tone, you turned to her and smiled, but Alucard's eyes remained on your face.

"I know Master; I'm only here to see an old friend." He answered. You turned to meet his gaze, your eyes locked in his large red ones. "Would you mind if I take her for a walk?"

You were shocked by his request, as was mother. For a moment, she didn't reply. You turned and waited for her answer, but she remained silent.

"As long as you don't bite her." She answered. You sat quiet, trying to hold the laughter in, but suddenly burst into a high laughing spree, Alucard laughing along as well. Once you had settled down, you stood and removed the hat off your head. Placing it gently on the vampires, you calmly made your way out of mother's office. Alucard led you down the stairs, out the front door, and through the streets of London. There wasn't much talking between the two of you, just normal questions like, "How are you", "How's life or death in Alucard's case, and all of the questions you should ask someone when you haven't seen them in a long while.

As you reached the base of Big Ben, you stopped to look up. The stars were shining brightly, adding a nice touch to the walk. Alucard smiled under his hat and red-tinted glasses.

"A beautiful night, isn't it Master? He said, looking down at you with a smile. You snapped your head towards him, giving him the look of death. lol I love saying that!

"Alucard please," You begged. He looked shocked, which was very rare with him. "Don't ever call me that, I'm your friend, I would never have you as my servant, please."

He seemed lost for words. he just stood there, looking away, silent. Suddenly, a cold breeze blew against your skin, causing you to shiver.

Damn, I forgot how cold London's nights could be.

Before you knew it, Alucard had placed his large red coat over your shoulders, smiling and staring into your eyes. You blushed and thanked him, as the two of you began your walk back to the manor.

Once inside, you handed back his coat and thanked him for the walk.

"Anytime...little angel" He said, before disappearing into the darkness of the room. You laughed at his remark and walked up the large stairs, towards your room. It had been a long time since you had been called that, only Alucard called you that. It was cute, he still remembered. You suddenly remembered you had not had the chance to see your old room. Walter had told you he would re-do it for you. You immediately fell onto the lovely bed and drifted fast asleep. Man, you were beat.

You woke later the next day to the sound of hooves beating against the ground. You shot up in the bed, realizing you had fallen asleep without changing or cleaning up. You sighed and heaved yourself out of the comfy bed, heading towards the bathroom. You slipped into the shower, letting the hot water roll over your body. It felt so good, you were in there for over an hour! Once you were finished, you changed into some denim shorts and a tank top, with your regular cargo boots, and headed outside.
The sun shone with its brightest on this day, giving you a better mood. You looked out into the back fields and saw your beloved horses, Catamaran & Hamlin. These two were given to you by your father, 10 years ago, before he died. They were old, but still fast as ever. Walter led them over to you, gently gliding them along the grassy fields. They were good horses, loyal too. You would miss them when they were gone.
"Lady Hellsing," Walter said as he approached you. You loved being called that. "Your targets have been placed up, now, which horse shall be first?"
The wind blew through your hair as the horse ran faster and faster. You shot a bullet at the round target that had come out of the tree branches. It hit right in the middle.
Gotcha!
You slowed Catamaran to a stop, and looked back at the targets you had hit. It seemed you were getting better at this everyday. You patted the gentle horse on his mane, and kicked is sides to make him go. No, its not abuse, that's how you ride a horse. It's Hamlin's turn.
For the rest of the day you switched between the two horses and rode all over the estate, stopping a few times to speak with the trainees. As the night came, you placed the horse back into their stables and headed back towards the manor.
"No missions tonight Alucard, you are dismissed." You heard your mother say, and before you could go in, Alucard had appeared in front of you.
"Hello there little angel." He said in his normal cocky tone. You laughed at his remark.
"Hello." You answered in your most seductive tone. He cocked an eyebrow at you, making you giggle.
"You're cute when you're trying to be seductive." he said. You playfully punched him in the shoulder. He laughed at your punch. "So, what is Lady Hellsing up to?"
"Being bored out of her mind." You answered, turning around to walk beside him. The two of you headed to the main hall. "Hmm...what should we do with all this spare time?"
"Lets go out." He said, smiling a seductive, broad smile. "A night on the town might be just thing to cure that boredom of yours."
"Well...as long as you don't bite."

You walked out of your room and peaked over the staircase. Alucard stood at the bottom, staring up at you. You blushed and walked down the steps, gracefully.

"I'm ready." You said, making Alucard grin. He opened the doors for you and led you down to the London streets.

A small building that seemed to bump with the beats of the music playing outside was Alucard's destination for the night. You laughed at his choice, but followed him in anyways. There were hundreds of people there, great music was playing. Couples were making out in the corners, and as you passed a few you giggled. Alucard went to the back corner, but you followed him anyways.

"And where the hell do you think your going?" You said, stopping him abruptly. He turned around with a confused look on his face.

"To eat!" He answered sarcastically. You rolled your eyes and grabbed him by the arm.

"Let's dance."
