Starvation and Exposure

Katherine spent the next day searching for a job. She rode the little dirt bike all over London and went to every shopping store and grocery store she could think of. She even went to some gas station to see if she could get a job running the car wash. It couldn't be that hard.

Each place she went turned her down. She was only sixteen and no one was looking for someone so inexperienced.

"Come back when you're eighteen," most everyone had told her.

"At this rate I'll be dead from starvation and exposure by then," she cynically thought to herself.

At around seven o'clock Katherine tired of searching aimlessly for a part time job, so she got back on the dirt bike and rode over to one of the dog parks. She walked a ways down a path and sat down on the end of a bench. The moon was out and full and it shone brightly down on her. She wished it was a cloudy dreadful night so it would suit her mood more. What was the sky so happy about? Didn't it know what went on here on Earth?

Cat placed her elbows on her knees and rested her face in her hands. She stayed this way for quite sometime. During this time a man had walked up to her and sat down on the other side of the bench. He made sure to be completely quite so she would not be disturbed. After a few minutes a strong breeze blew towards them and ruffled Katherine's hair. The gust disturbed her and she looked up.

"You again," there was a drop of poison in her voice.

"It is dangerous for a girl to be out so late, horrible things may lurk in the dark," the man spoke this with pleasure in his voice. People always spoke fondly of themselves.

"Thanks…I'll keep that in mind," she plopped her face back into her hands. She waited for the man to say something else to her but he only stared at the moon.

"What is your name," she commanded it more than she asked.

The man answered without taking his eyes off the moon, "They call me Alucard."

An old memory flashed through Katherine's mind, and then it was gone.

"I'm Katherine," she knew he probably already knew, but it was a habit to tell people.

Alucard only nodded.

Katherine stared at him waiting for more of a response. He only stared at the moon. It was a good thing he wasn't a werewolf.

Cat had had enough of the awkward silences, "Why are you here?"

"Do you know who your parents were," never taking his eyes from the sky.

"What!" Katherine didn't understand what he meant.

"Do you know…what it was they called their job," Alucard did not take his eyes off the moon, but Katherine thought he looked a bit perturbed.

"Of course I do," she spat annoyed. "My Dad was in the army before I was born. My Mom was a police officer and they met in a bar. When I was born my Dad left the army and became a cop, and my Mom quit her job to stay home with me," Katherine considered this for a moment. "She was still gone a lot though."

Alucard finally looked at her and let out a hearty chuckle, "Is that what they told you? Or did you hear that from some helpful relative?"

"Well…my Aunt told me some, but I was a child not an idiot," Cat was becoming angry. "I saw them come home each day."

"I suppose you have been told how they died as well," Alucard said smoothly with a smug look on his face.

"Well no, no one ever gave me a straight answer. They just said it was some kind of accident."

Alucard burst out laughing at the word 'accident', "You could call it that if you wanted."

Katherine just gaped at him. Who was this guy to come here and mess with her average, safe and boring life? How dare he laugh at her like she was a clueless child. How dare he threaten to shoot through her and kill her. Who does he think he is!

Katherine couldn't contain her rage any longer. She jumped to her feet and stared in the face of this pompous man, "Alright! Who exactly are you!" the glare she gave him would have scared most men.

He just smiled and looked right back at her, considering her bravery. Would she be more frightened if he told her everything? She already knew he was a monster and her reaction to this had been nothing more than placid. She was like her mother.

"Don't excite yourself, its bad for your health," he pleasantly waited for her reaction.

"Bad for my health?! Do you have any idea what I've been through?" she paused to wait for a reaction. When none came she fumed, "You should, you were part of it. Yeah, remember that? Pointing a gun at me and getting ready to shoot! I have every right to excite myself!" she gave a great huff, balled her fists up, and stared at him.

"Sit down and I will tell you who your parents really were," he was starting to look bothered by Cats outbursts and she wondered why he didn't just kill her. He had to be working for someone who had sent him to find her.

"Who do you work for," she was no longer surprised by her boldness. She had nothing let so what did she have to fear?

"I work for the Hellsing Organization. It is an organization with the task of riding the nation's shores of all supernatural threats. Or what you would call monsters," it seemed this was the end of the explanation.

Katherine tossed the idea around in her head. She wondered how such an organization could exist without the public knowing about it. Maybe when they told you they had to kill you afterwards. Alucard shifted on the bench and Katherine flinch.

"You don't need to worry I've been forbidden to harm you," he sounded a little bummed when he said it.

"Just tell me about my parents now," the moon was starting to go behind some clouds and despite her earlier wish for it to be dark out she preferred it stay as light as possible while she was sitting next to a blood thirsty vampire.

"What you heard about your father in the army and your mother being a cop was true, but only for a short period of time. When your father left the army he and your mother joined forces with Hellsing. They helped vanquish unholy monsters along side the Hellsing soldiers and I. Up until ten years ago they were very helpful, but you were getting older and they became more interested in your life. One night when we were headed to a job they got in the helicopter and talked the whole way there about you. It seems you were just starting school and you refused to talk to other children. They continued to be distracted by the conversation as your father landed the helicopter. We went our separate ways to complete the mission. When I had finished destroying the vampires on the lower floors of the building we were on I made my way back to the roof. Your parents were already back in the chopper talking of you again. They never heard the bomb ticking and it was too late to get them out. It seems they had missed someone and that someone had taken the opportunity to do away with them for good," Alucard finished the story with the same look on his face as when he began. It was such a waste of time to find this girl and tell her what her family should have told her years ago. He could be out doing much more interesting things, but Integral had insisted the girl be told. She felt they owed it to her family for the services they had loyalty provided.

Katherine could only stare at the ground. All the things she had been dealing with from last night had been eating away at her and now this was the last straw. She felt stupid for not knowing what her parents had been up to and angry no one had ever told her. Just because she was a child did not mean she would not understand that her parents battled against monsters. If anything it would have helped her get to sleep better at night knowing that no monsters would dare hide under her bed.

"I have to go," Cat was far past tears. She got up and started to walk briskly back to her bike.

Alucard was amused at her lack of questions, "Is that all then? You want to know nothing more?"

"What more is there to know? Just because I know how they truly died now does not make them any less gone," Katherine hoped on the bike and sped off towards home. She wanted nothing more than to crawl into her bed and stay there forever.

"Good," Alucard thought to himself, "I can report back to Master that the girl wanted nothing more to do with the organization. Then we can finally be done with this sympathetic mess." He strode away in the opposite direction and disappeared into the air.
