Felix sat at the window again , it became his usual place . He did not know why, but somehow it felt comforting . The only childer left were just he and Barnabas , everyone else was sent away . The sun was high up on the sky , so it was around 10 am. The whole room was silent , Felix was absorbed in his thoughts .

Suddenly the door opened and Barnabas came into the room . Strangely, now completely unusual expression on his face. It was a serious , kind of desperate . But why, Felix did not know yet. He walked slowly , and sometimes looked around as if he was afraid that someone notices him . His whole body language spoke of something, like he would carry a great secret with himself , and he did not want anyone else to know about it. Except Felix , because obviously that was the reasn why he was here .

" How are you? " Said Barnabas greeting like an everyday conversation would begin.

" I'm fine and you? "

"The same . " He was on next to Felix . Leaned forward confidentially . " You listen , there's something I want to tell you . Can I trust you ? "

" Of course . "

" Good ... I think there 's a vampire in the back garden . "

" What!? " Felix replied , surprised . Then he started laughing , he could not take seriously the boy. It was such an absurd idea . A vampire in the garden! What a joke . They were in the middle of the Hellsing headquarters!

" I'm serious ! " Retorted Barnabas , a little offended .

" Okay, why do you think that we share our homes with a vampire ? " Felix decided to go into the game. This promised to be a whole lot of fun .

" Did you know that there are crypts at the back ? "

" Yeah . " They all knew about the crypts, since they helped with gardening , so they had to crawl across the plot from beginning to end .

" Now listen . I checked their doors . I have been watching them for a few days now . Something does not make any sense . "

" Such as what ? "

" You know the crypts theoretically haven't been opened since years . "

" Aha "

"Then how is it that on one is nor dust, nor dirt. "

" So what? " Felix raised his eyebrows . "It may be that someone visited one dead down there. "

" Yeah .. yeah ... Nah but seriously . I thought the same, so I took the liberty to enter . "

" You did what ? It's forbidden! Dont't you know that? "

" Yes , yes , but listen . There was a coffin in the middle of the chamber . Don't you think it's a little suspicious ? In addition, it was completely new also, didn't match to the surrondings. You know what we read about vampires . To sleep in a coffin ? " Of course he remembered. That was the moment when the world opened up before him . He realized that with this knowledge he had acquired from the notepad , can take up the fight against the monsters, no , he could beat them!

He deeply hated the monsters , who dishallowed his country , but most of all because he lost his parents because of them. He was not as stupid anymore as when he first arrived , he knew that he would not see his parents again . So he promised revenge against the killers. Of course he was not the only one who felt that way , that was obvious. Everyone has lost loved ones , family members and friends . But Felix was different than they were. He had the knowledge what they didn't. How to defeat the monsters permanently.

He looked after the owner of the booklet . But he was gone. Strangely , he could not remember his appearance either. What's more , despite asking the people they did not know anything . As if he never had been there . As if the only purpose of this man's existence was that Felix would get the booklet . And as this was accomplished , he ceased to exist.

" Yeah, I know . I read the book if you do not remember , " Felix answered finally- ". . Which reminds me , did you gave it to Integra ?"

" No ... " he admitted and pulled it out from his pocket.

" But why not ? This was the deal, wasn't it? "

" Yes . But Felix it is our chance! Finally, we can kill a vampire ! Think of it, wouldn't it be better if we greet Integra with the head of a vampire than with an old book? "

" So now you want to kill the vampire? "

" Listen . It's all here in this .. " patted the book " .. we have to do , just follow the directions. Think about it, you can finally catch The Lady in Red "

Felix now believed in the woman, that see existed. Ever since the night before , he always felt that the eyes were watching him. Assessing his value, if it would worth taking his life.

" Okay . What should we do ? " Agreed Felix intently .

The next morning, both were assigned to gardening . However, this time they didn't do exactly as always.

The garden was filled with flowers , each one different . The children thought that there was at least one from all flowers in the word . But they only needed a certain flower.

When the adults were observed , they cut off a pair of purple flowers that grew only next to fresh water . The garden had a little one artificial lake , so luckily it was not a problem. Their pockets were soon stuffed with everything needed for the mission they were planning. Fortunately, the adults did not notice anything, else they would have to answer uncomfortable questions .

When they finished, they prepared themselfs to descend into the depths of the crypt . When the lunch was over , they both slipped out of the house and went to the back where they discussed the meeting. They were in a hurry , because they had chance only till the sun was shining .

Barnabas ooked intently into Felix's eyes , - " Ready? " Felix just nodded

Barnabas placed his hands on the vault door , and began to push . He tried to generate the less noise possible , but it was not an easy task , because the door weren't not made for kids.

Finally, the door opened . The way down was like the throat of hell , it almost beckoned them . Felix came in first right after that Barnabas also . The air was dry , as was to be expected . It was really cold too, Felix regretted that he did not bring any warm clothes. Not that he would have any .

He cleaned of a spiderweb, as it cheeky adherented to his face . Their boots knocked much louder to the stairs than he wanted them to.

When finally they arrived , Felix saw the coffin Barnabas told him about before. Indeed, it was placed at the center of the crypt , on a small platform . The room was lit only by candles , so again there were dark corners . It was late , they had to hurry .

" We must hurry, " said Barnabas , and rushed past Felix . - " Do you have the flowers ? "

" Aha "

"Good place them around the casket. " Barnabas told him .

" And what are you going to do? " Barnabas just rolled his eyes

" I'll put the candles in place . "

They were not talking more , as both of them carried out the task entrusted to them . While Felix put in place the flowers, he felt a strange thing on his chest . It was warm ? He reached out his hand and touched his amulet . The strange thing was hot . But oblivious to him why , he continued to work.

When they were finished, they both stood next to the coffin . It was gettin really late , the sun began to go down. Felix then noticed that the necklace was on fire , almost burnt his skin. Therefore he took it off and put it away in his pocket.

" Now open the coffing . " - Said Barnabas

" Why should I ? You asked for this." But Barnabas did not want to move. They didn't think about this when he planned the attack. They did not want to think about it , they didn't want to actually face the vampire.

Finally, Barnabas reached up and touched the edge of the coffin . He was ready lift up the top . But then something unexpected happened. The top of the coffin moved.

Felix looked to Barnabas , asking with his eyes that did he do it or not. But he already knew the answer. Barnabas with fear in his eyes shook his head. For a moment they stood still next to the coffin , petrified . Then both looked toward the exit. Then again, at each other. Then , so to speak, by mutual agreement they made a tactical retreat . Unfortunately, in reality, it was not as respectful as it sounds . In fact we can say that they ran out the door like they would have been running for their life. With their last thought they shut the door behind them .

AN: There you go, finally a long chapter! :D At least it's longer than the previous ones. And this has a reason. I won't be able to write for like a week or so, and I wanted to compensate it with something.

I hope you liked the reviews are welcome, they keep me fueled :)

As for the plot, we'll jump into the near future probably, so I'll leave our guided route by Panakeias. I hope you don't mind.
