Author's Note: Chapter two, everybody. This one will be more from Alucard's point of view.
Alucard took off his glasses, revealing wide crimson eyes. At last. At long last he had found his brother. His brother made into his enemy. The Romanian accent had been replaced with a Scottish one, but there was no mistaking his beloved sibling's face or voice.
"Yer a vampire?"
He slowly started towards the priest, hands out.
"Alexander, brother, I never intended to become this, but this was my punishment for turning my back on God for your death."
"You what? Why?"
"I was angry and hurt. You had served Him so faithfully, yet He did not protect you. He let you die."
Anderson took a step back.
"I... I'll tell the Vatican ye never showed up."
Before Alucard could say another word, Anderson disappeared in a whirlwind of Bible pages. The vampire sighed and turned to his fledgling, Seras Victoria, and began removing the blessed blades from her as his Master, Sir Integra Fairbrook Windgates Hellsing, arrived.
"What happened?"
"We were attacked by a paladin."
She scowled at the ancient monster.
"You let the paladin, Father Alexander Anderson, take you by surprise?"
He growled but nodded.
"Lets go. Perhaps next time, you'll be more focused."
Alucard took the jab without a word, his mind filled with other thoughts. Back at the Hellsing Manor, he sat in his chair, sucking idly on his blood packet. His brother had been reincarnated it seemed. He was now his enemy, an Iscariot Paladin. A Catholic. Surely this was just another punishment for abandoning God.
"Alucard!"
He turned crimson eyes to the aged butler, Walter Dornez, his friend and former war partner. He gave him a questioning look.
"The packet's empty, Alucard. It's been empty for the past five minutes at least."
The vampire looked at the packet in his hand to find the old man was right, and he had been sucking on nothing but air. He sighed and handed it to his friend.
"You seem out of sorts tonight, Alucard. Anything wrong?"
"I just have a lot on my mind is all. I was lost in thought."
Walter gazed at his ancient friend for a moment longer before leaving. He knew Alucard better than to simply believe that. Something was bothering the No-Life King, but the butler also knew better than to press him. Alucard would talk about it on his own time or not at all. It was best to just let him be, at least for now.
End Note: The chapters will vary in length, so some will be shorter. Please just bare with me. Please review.
