So I just saw on youtube last night that there is going to be a Hellsing live action movie
Needless to say i nearly crapped my pants. I did some more searching and I am pretty sure it's really going to happen. Hopefully it wont be lame, it said it was going to be called Seras Victoria but that it would still follow the original story line. Theres a teaser trailer but it only makes having to wait for the actual movie worse. They say its going to be filmed in England. I'm anxious to see who will play Alucard.
Well anyway, read and review

Too Late

Cat finished telling Walter her story about everything that had happened that afternoon. She had considered not telling anyone in fear she would get in trouble for snooping so much, but in the end decided it did not matter and perhaps Walter would have some good advice to give her for her next adventure.

"Well Miss it seems you have had a very busy afternoon," Walter continued stirring his pudding.

"I really did. What are you making anyway?" she clamored onto one of the bar stools to better see.

"I am preparing some after dinner pudding for the soldiers. They've been working very hard lately and I thought they could use something to lift their spirits a bit. Would you like to help me?" he stopped stirring and looked at her.

Cat sat back and considered him for a moment. Walter looked far older than Alucard, but even though Alucard looked nearly perfect she would much rather be around Walter. He had the most impeccable manners Cat had seen in a long time and he was still very handsome for someone his age.

"I would love to help you Walter," she smiled wondering what important task he would give her.

"Here you go then. Stir this pudding," he pushed the bowl towards her and began getting out pots and pans to cook lunch.

"Stirring pudding! Is that all you trust me with? I guess I will have to earn everyone's trust before I get to do anything fun, is that right?" Cat settled in her chair and began whisking the pudding in little circles.

"Well Miss Cat, Sir Integra has decided that your job is going to be cooking for the soldiers and doing the kitchen inventory. She got the idea from Alucard who saw you cooking yourself breakfast this morning. He said you looked very at home running around the kitchen," Walter dumped two five pound packs of hamburger onto a giant flat grill and started chopping it up.

"Did he now? Well I suppose I am pretty good at cooking, but you're going to have to show me how to cook for so many people at once," Cat dipped her finger into the pudding and made a face. It tasted boring and had absorbed flavor from the box it had no doubt come in.

"Don't worry I will show you everything you need to know and you will be cooking in no time. You must learn all of the proper healthy ingredients that we try to fit into each dish every night. Many of the soldiers are like children and refuse to eat vegetables so we hide then in different things and sometimes place vita…what ever are you doing?" Walter stopped chopping the meat and looked around at Cat. She was digging through each cabinet with the bowl of pudding tucked under her arm.

"It needs something extra. Have you ever tasted it? It's a bit like cardboard. I know men eat anything but it should really taste good if they've been working hard all day," she finally found a cabinet full of powders and ground herbs and started digging through them. Finally she pulled out a bottle of cocoa powder and nutmeg. She opened the bottles and shook some in, tasted the pudding, and shook more in.

"Here Walter give it a taste," she spooned some out and handed it to him.

"Hm, very lovely, but maybe if you add some cinnamon?" he reached in the cabinet and pulled out a bottle.

"That's a great idea! See now you're thinking outside the box," Cat sprinkled in some cinnamon and tasted the pudding again. "It tastes wonderful now," she smiled at Walter as he tasted some as well.

"It is a great improvement. This is why you are now in charge of food preparation and cooking," Walter gave her an official type of nod and went back to cooking the hamburger.

"So what do you do all day Walter?" Cat walked over to the stove to watch him cook. She enjoyed learning by example rather than being told how to do something. It was so much easier to just mimic what someone else did.

"This is a very large place as I am sure you have discovered. I clean the rooms that are used most offend, prepare meals for the soldiers, and tend to whatever Sir Integra or Alucard may need," he scooped up the hamburger meat and dumped it into a massive stock pot.

"You have to do what Alucard says?!" Cat was shocked.

"No of course not Miss Cat, when I say tend to him I simply mean bring him a blood pack from the freezer when he wakes up in the evening. Other than that he takes care of himself, not that there s much to take care of when one is deceased," Walter smiled to himself, pleased with his joke.

"So does that mean now that I am in charge of the kitchen I will have to bring him blood packs," Cat looked at Walter with worry in her eye. She did not want to carry a bag full of blood into a dungeon and hand it to a hungry vampire who had just woken up.

"Well I had hoped you would. I've been growing very tired of his sarcasm," he looked down at Cat and saw the look of tread on her face. "Oh it won't be as bad as you think. He isn't going to bother you he will just take the blood pack and then you will walk away. Try not to be so worried about it."

Cat sighed deeply and watched as Walter poured giant cans of crushed tomatoes into the stock pot. They made wet plopping sounds and splashed red slop onto the side of the pot. She began to think about bags full of blood and became queasy.

"Let me show you the freezer and you can take Alucard a blood pack and Sir Integra her tea. It's best to get it over with now this way you will know what to expect the next time when I am not around," Walter led her to a big door that looked similar to a bank vault.

"Now that you don't have to do the cooking Walter what will you do with all your spare time?" Cat tried to keep her mind off the hanging meat in the freezer.

"I will spend the time I would be spending cooking in the library catching up on reading. Each day you will begin to cook at six in the morning, one in the afternoon, and five in the evening. You will find me in the library during that time in the event that you need help. There is an intercom by the kitchen door with a button labeled library. Push it and talk into the speaker and I will direct you through there or in the event of something more seriously I will come and help. Here we are Miss Cat, the blood packs are kept at the very back of the freezer. Avoid giving him the O positives even if he asks for them. We like to keep them on hand in case someone needs a hasty transfusion," Walter smiled at her and placed a cold bag of blood in her hand.

Cat looked at it and she followed Walter out of the freezer. The scarlet fluid filled the bag perfectly leaving no air bubbles for it to slosh around in. She continued to stare at it as Walter made Integra's tea. She wondered if it tasted the same to a vampire as it tasted to her. Maybe it did and they just liked the coppery taste and how it quickly thickened and coated their tongue. Or maybe it tasted like something completely different when you were dead. She hoped she would never have to find out and she was definitely never going to ask.

"Here you are Miss Cat," Walter held a tea tray out for her. "Be very careful walking up the stairs and when you arrive you needn't bother to knock. Just walk in, place the tray on the edge of her desk, pour the tea, and leave. Alucard should be in the office with her at this time. Hand him the blood pack on your way out and don't feel obligated to say anything unless someone says something to you. Then you may retaliate with whatever come back you deem fit."

Cat looked at him to see if he was joking but he looked very serious. She took the tray from him and started out the door.

"Come back here when you are done and I will continue showing you around the kitchen and we will go over the food pyramid," Walter watched her walk out the door and then went back to his cooking pot. He knew Cat would do fine. She was very brave and even though Alucard tried his best to intimidate everyone she had enough wits and sarcasm to snap back at him with something clever. She would fair well in the Hellsing household just as her mother had.

Cat did not pay attention to what she was doing as she walked towards Integra's office. She knew the way already and walked there like a robot. She could not stop thinking about all the different things that might be said to her when she arrives. She tried to create something to say for each scenario she created but it only made her more nervous. She tried to clear her mind but when she looked up she found she was already at the door to the office. She set the tray on the floor, opened the door just a tiny bit, picked the tray up again, and then pushed the door the rest of the way with her side. Inside the office Integra was writing something down and Alucard was standing by the corner of her desk. She wasn't sure if they had been talking or if they were just weird and always kept each other company in silence. She walked to the edge of the desk and waited for Alucard to move so she could set the tray down. He looked at her and smirked without moving.

Cat cleared her throat and looked at him, "Excuse me, please."

To her surprise he took a step back so she could set the tea tray down. She poured Integra's tea and placed the tea cup on her desk. She hesitated for a moment and then placed the tea pot there as well.

Integra stopped writing for a moment and looked at the tea pot. Walter usually took it with him and if she wanted more tea she would call him. She chuckled and remembered how she had done the same thing with the pot when she brought her father tea when she was young. She watched to see how Cat would handle giving Alucard the blood pack.

Cat picked the blood pack up buy its corner and turned around to face Alucard. She held it out to him at arms length and looked at him politely as she waited for him to take it. He did not move to take the pack but only stood with his hands in his pockets looking at her. Cat smiled a bit more and wiggled the pack thinking if vampires were anything like animals this would make him want it more.

Alucard did not try and suppress his laughter. Who did this girl think she was, wiggling a blood pack at him like he was some kind of animal? He had to admit she was brave, but he wondered how long it would be before she overused this bravery and let it turn into a stupid mistake.

Cat had had enough of being laughed at by a pet monster. It was ridiculous how high and mighty he felt when he was not even free to do what he wanted. He had to rely on someone else to get him packs of blood from a freezer and did not even have free rein to go out and suck blood from the flesh of the living. If she was going to be the one to bring him food it was going to be on her terms.

"Fine then," Cat plopped the blood pack back on the tray and turned to leave.

"Well aren't you gutsy taking away a vampires meal," Alucard waited for her to turn around but she did not.

"I tried to give it to you but its too late now. You will just have to wait until dinner," Cat walked out of the office and closed the door behind her. She was shaking a little but she felt very please with herself. She walked back towards the kitchen excited to tell Walter all about what had happened.

Integra waited until she was sure Cat was gone before she burst out laughing. Alucard narrowed his eyes at her and a sulky look passed over his face.

"That was priceless; I am going to enjoy having that girl around if she keeps up these antics. I didn't think I would live to see the day that someone besides me stood up to your cruelty," she took a sip of tea and started writing again.

"May I be dismissed Master," Alucard spoke through clenched teeth.

"Yes you may, but you leave that girl alone. That is an order do you understand?" Integra didn't bother looking at him. She knew that he did not dare hurt her, but she preferred it if he did not play any tricks on her either. She did not want to deal with a teenage girl crying to her that all her hair had been cut off or all her clothes were torn apart and covered in dog drool.

"Of course Master," he read what was on her mind, "I wouldn't dream of it."
