OK here is where you guys left off! This chapter and the last one were together because I was just typing and had to split it but here ya go!
Alucard grabbed her hand and jerked her forward as he spun on his heels and walked to her room. Abri looked back on the shocked Walter giving him a little wave before she was pulled into her room and a weak smile as a silent 'I'm sorry'.
When they got to her room Alucard had not let go of her hand but picked up her suit case then walked back out and down the opposite side of the hall. When Abri looked back she didn't see Walter or his blood on the floor. She was pretty confused at when and how he cleaned it so fast. But she had to concentrate on walking. His long steps where kind of hard to match when she was shorter than him. But he is like 6'3 and she was 5'6 so a… she reached almost right below his shoulder? Finally she got the hand of walking and then she realize they are still holding hands. Blushing slightly she tried to ignore it but she couldn't. She also couldn't help but notice his hands where kind of warm, a bit below body temp… but still warm. Also she felt like a little kid holding her dad's hand because of how big they were.
When they started to get to another hall Abri didn't know which way they were going so she waited for Alucard to lead…..nope! She just thought they were going straight but when his hand tightened around hers and gently pulled her to the left she laughed nervously and when back by his side falling into step as best as she could again. The pressure that his hands had when he pulled her still was not off but she liked it, it made her feel special and she could feel her heart beat in her chest just a bit more. When they got to the main stairs there were a few people around there and down stairs.
All eyes turned to her and Alucard's hands. She wanted to let go but was too scared by the amount of people looking at her. They looked at her like they hated her, but she couldn't remember why, all she remembers is them making her made then them stomping off in anger or she was suddenly down the hall. A tug from Alucard made her come back to reality as they descended down. She felt shaky as she walked down from all the eyes watching her that she almost missed a step. Holding on to Alucard's hand tighter and moving closer to him but far enough so she didn't trip both of them.
Looking over to her he saw she was slightly panicked. He didn't mind the looks but Abri was freaking out about it, he was slightly able to read her mind and all he got was 'not remembering'. But it is really hard to read her mind. Something was blocking him, the Chemical X, maybe it. When she held his hand tighter he knew that she was getting more nervous.
"Relax." He said and Abri snapped her head to him as he broke the silence. Giving a slight nod she let loose of his hand a little bit as they were almost at the end of the stairs. When they got to the door Seras, Integra, and Pip were waiting for them.
"hi." She said with a soft smile but then frowned, her face showing guilt. She knew she had said some mean words to them even if she can't remember. But by the look on Integra's face she could tell it was a shock to see her speaking in an inside voice.
"Hello, feeling better?" Integra asked and Abri nodded and shifted her weight to her left leg almost bumping into Alucard. In slight panic she let go of his hand and Alucard just didn't say anything. The trio looked to Alucard and Abri's hand for a second also shocked. Pip was about to say something when Alucard gave him a look. Coughing to cover up the fact he was going to say something.
"Well Master, are you off now?" Seras asked and he nodded.
"I will call you when we get to the house." Alucard said and Integra said stepped so he could go out the door.
"Sorry." Abri mumbled as she walked by all of them in a weak voice.
"It's quite alright, we know it was not completely your fault." Integra said and the other two nodded.
"Come Abri." Alucard said and she quickly rushed out the door to see a motorcycle and a short limo. AS they got closer Abri started to get confused. But when Alucard pulled her to the limo she just stayed quiet and did what she was told.
'She acts like a dog on a leash' Alucard thought in amusement. He opened the door for her motioning for her to get in.
"Sit." He said grinning at his inside joke.
"Thank you." She said and literally hopped in the car. The window to the front seat of the car rolled down and there was Walter.
"WALTER! You are ok!" She smiled and crawled over to him because the roof of the car was not high enough to stand up in.
"Yes quite alright." He smiled as she hugged him.
'Her color is coming back, just a few hours of not having the intruder around did some good,' he thought as she hugged him tightly from behind because she couldn't fit through the window enough to hug him regularly. Suddenly she heard the sound of the motorcycle. Ignoring it and concentrating on Walter she asked.
"Nothing is hurt right?" he just chuckled and turned back around.
"It's just a short lick of what he usually gives me, thank you for saving me the trouble of cleaning all that blood." The sound of the motorcycle revving its engine made Walter sigh.
"Now get out seatbelt on." Walter said as he put the car in drive. Scrambling back to her seat she buckled her seat belt and waited for the car to move. It felt so weird to be in the limo because one she had not been outside the walls of Hellsing but only once and that was when she was kidnapped. Looking up at the ceiling she started to get bored. Laying her head on the back of the seat and sighed.
'I wonder what London will be like…'she thought and then yawned. She was getting really restless and when she was restless her legs started to hurt her. Sighing again she finally just realize what she was wearing. It was a black and red skirt that looked like it was from the shugo chara uniforms, her thigh high black and red stripped socks, and a button up collar shirt. She looked like she was going to school! But she had on black combat boots instead.
'Seras has a school uniform?' she wondered and then was knocked out of her thoughts when the door opened. She jumped and held her hand to her chest.
"Pangaea Alucard you keep scaring me to death!" She said and he just smirked.
"Come, we have a lot to do." He said and she nodded. Getting out of the car carefully being mindful she had a skirt on, she pulled it down but sadly it was still three inches above her knees but for in the back.
'curse you anime!' she thought and then was suddenly shoved to the side.
"hn?!" she said as she saw a car speed by her. Looking around she saw she was on a sidewalk standing next to Alucard.
"It says don't walk." He said bored and then suddenly the walking light turned green and everyone started to walk. Panicking thinking she would get lost she grabbed his coat on his arm and slowly go past the moving wave of people.
"Is it always this busy?" She asked and he shook his head.
"Not very but at times yes." He replied and Abri gripped his sleeve harder as a man tried to pass threw them but she didn't want to risk letting him go.
"Excuse me!" he said and then when he got to close Abri forced herself to let go because she didn't want to get in this angry man's way. Finally he brushed past them and hit her shoulder on the way threw.
"These people are rude." She mumbled and rubbed her shoulder. That guy had really boney shoulder! Even if it didn't hurt she could still mentally imagine the pain. Alucard looked back at the man for a second and just kicked a stone with his shoe that bounced off the wall and into his hand. Not even turning around he flicked it over his shoulder and to her amazement it hit the man in a hurry in the back of the head.
"Wow!" She said as he rubbed the back of his head and started to yell at the nearest person to him. Biting her lip trying not to laugh but failed and ended up covering her mouth with her hands.
'Man I need a coat with long sleeves!' she thought as she remembers she did like people seen her face sometimes. But mostly because she might have done something embarrassing or she wanted to flop her arms around like a while chicken. The man finally back to see her laughing and Alucard grinning, he narrowed his eyes and quickly rushed over there raising his fist.
"I know I was you who did it!" he yelled angrily heading their way. A little bit of fear and excitement hit her hard as she grabbed his hand and starts to run. Not running but walking fast he followed her down the street. She was about to leave him around the corner when he gently pulled her and other direction. They made their way to two doors which led them into the mall. Her eyes when wide at the mall, it was so big! They were lots elevators and about three floors filled with toy stores, clothing stores, food, and many other things.
"well this is huge!" Abri said with a huge smile. She looked around and suddenly felt very small. There are so many people here and she felt smaller and smaller with each person I walked in. Alucard chuckled at her reaction, he would bother her later but for now they need to get her clothes.
"yes it is very big, but let us move on." Turning his head to see where the clothing store was he was about to lead the way we thought of a better idea.
"why don't we let you choose where we ." He said with a grin. Abri looked at him when he was crazy.
"I can do that! I will get us lost and we will never return home!" she explained waving her arms around. Giving her another grin he gently pushed her in any direction that was clear her to not knock down any one.
"You'll do just fine." He said as they started to walk. She looked around nervous wondering where she should go for each item she needed. He can just walk into a female's changing room with her so she would have to take the walk of shame through the dressing room out to him. Not only that she had to go back and forward to each item was tried on.
'I hope he doesn't give me anything pink.' She thought bitterly. She hates the color pink but loves red and black, but she did not want him thinking she was mocking his colors.
'oh well!' She giggled in her mind and shrug mentally. She thought she saw the store for dreams, the one place that was awesome and mime blowing. Hot topic! The store that in saves her from the boring places at malls! It was even here!
"Oh oh oh oh! Can we go in Hot Topic?!" she asked jumping up and down holding her hands together like she was begging.
'Is she begging me?' He thought with amusement. She looked like if he said no that it would kill her, it also looked as if she would take a full out sprint to get there.
"Fine," He said and she smiled and ran over there then suddenly stopped and pulled down her skirt a little.
"I hate these ones without shorts under them." She mumbled to herself as she started to walk to the store looking back a few times to make sure Alucard was near her and ended up bumping into some people. After three "I'm sorry" then one time almost falling over a cane from a blind man, then knocking over an empty trash can she made it.
"I'm alive!" She yelled and then suddenly stopped felling awkward as Alucard stood beside her.
"Sorry." She laughed nervously. Looking at her with lazy eyes he just ignored her and waved it off.
"What do you want from this store?" He asked and she grinned then mumbled something.
"Hn?" He asked and she mumbled it louder. He narrowed his eyes at her.
"Speak up." He said and she started to giggle.
"Everything." She whispered then started to laugh when Alucard's eyes when wide for a second.
"I want this small dice, this candy snake that's over four feet long, I want this KISS cd, and I want this random dude!" She said pointing to the person working there.
"Do you need help?" He asked and Abri shook her head.
"Not yet but thanks for asking." She said getting quite and stepping away from him and next to Alucard.
"Ok well tell me when you need help." He said and Abri nodded and then started to walk down the walk way.
"Why so chicken?" He teashed and Abri blushed and then pulled out a rubber chicken from the shelf.
"No! Dis chicken! Me no chicken!" She said and then handed it to him before turning to a new aisle. She looked back while walking to make sure he didn't follow but then crashed into something soft.
"oof!" she said as she heard a squeak sound. Looking to see who it was, it turned out to be Alucard still holding the rubber chicken which she just ran into. Standing there for a moment she tried not to laugh. The grate and powerful Alucard was holding a rubber chicken.
"Ba doom tis!" She made the drum noise from when you tell a joke and started to laugh.
"What is funny?" He asked and then handed her the chicken. She just squeaked the toy and then dropped it on the shelf.
"The toy! I didn't know it did that!" She laughed and then turned around to look for something.
"So what are we supposed to get?" She asked looking around on the shelves.
"Cloths for you to wear." He said and she nodded like 'oh' she looked to where they had to emo and gothic cloths and just picked a pair of black skinny jeans, and a black and red shirt that said ' I love vampires'
"Wait don't look!" She said as she when to the changing room. Trying not to laugh she quickly put on the cloths and folded her other ones.
"OK!" She said as she opened the door.
'That awkward moment when you open a door thinking someone else is there but it's not them….' She thought as she saw a girl standing there like 'what the flip?!'
"heheeh, sorry wrong person." She said and walked out to see him leaning against the wall with a grin until he read her shirt.
"Like it?" she blushed and giggled and spun around once and posed with her arms out and leg bent.
"Tada! This shirt is for you!" She said and wiggled her fingers.
"hn." He said and she frowned a little.
(A/N: To get this joke you have had to watch Hot Kool Aid but it's funny any way)
"But I made this for you….." She said in a sad quiet British accent which was a bit off. Raising his eyebrow he just said.
"No you didn't." She sniffed and then yelled a little loudly.
"I made this for you!" She stomped her foot and pointed at him with an evil ground hog eye.
"What?" he frowned and she then gave a sad face like she was going to cry.
"I hate ju!" She said and he looked around to see all the people looking at them.
"Abri grow up." He said moving to her.
"I did! Because I-I Love y-you!" She broke into laughter before she could finish what she was going to say. Then people around her started to laugh and she knew they got the joke. Taking the grin off her face she when up to him and grabbed his coat and clung to it.
"Please….my love…..drink…..my…hot…..kool aid…." She grabbed one of the True Blood drink bottles from the shelf and held it out for him to take. Then the people started to laugh louder and some clapped.
"No I'm not." He frowned again and she felt his chest vibrated with a growl.
"Oh ok looks like he didn't want any hot koolaid!" She said and everyone laughed hard as she put down the drink and when back into the changing room. When she got done changing she heard a knock at the door.
"Someone's in here!" She said with a panicked voice looking to make sure she locked the door.
"Abri." Alucard said with a warning tone. Abri suddenly felt very scared, she had forgot that Alucard was the all power full Dracula.
'hehehehe, all power full Dracula…..hahahh! Girlycard!' she laughed in her mind.
"Abri!" An angry Alucard said in front of her face. Squealing and jumping back and grabbing the wall like she was trying to climb up it, it took her a second to realize it was Alucard.
"Jebus! You killed me!" She said as she held on to her aching chest.
"What was the meaning of your little 'outburst'?" He asked.
"oh, hehhe, that…." She rubbed the back of her head.
"Sorry it's a thing me and my friend saw off the internet and it's been our thing and I was so full of energy and I guess it….slipped?" She asked suddenly getting depressed. She missed her friend, she when missing well….now a full three and a half months.
"Well that is no excuse to do that." He said growling. Backing up more against the wall she nodded and when he raised his hand she flinched and closed her eyes. Suddenly the feeling of him dragging her by her shirt made her stumble forward.
"Mer! Wait my shirt will rip!" She said as she walked as close to him as she could. He didn't answer back but just dragged her to the checkout line. He put her cloths she just tried on the counter and the man rung up everything.
"That's fifteen dollars." He said and Alucard just didn't say anything. The man suddenly just opened the cash register like he was putting in money and then handed up our bags.
"Have a nice day." He said dazed and Abri felt kind of weird at the way he looked so out of it.
"Ya…you too." She said and grabbed the bags which were snatched away by Alucard.
'Was that the gay love beam!?' she thought in horror. She stood there kind of wondering something .
"sooo…about that gay love beam…." She said and Alucard snapped his head to her.
"What gay love beam?" He asked and she just cleared her throat and looked away.
"It's ok if you roll that way, I will love you. Plus I have a lot of friends that are like that!" Turns to him dramatically and hug him. Side stepping out the way Abri hit a wall face first.
"ouch! I think I broke the wall!" she said and looked around to make sure no one saw her. But to her luck there was a face print of her forehead and nose in the wall. Looking around one more time she moved a fake pot plant in front of it and walked over to Alucard whose eye just twitched.
"Hey it was a moment! You have to embrace it!" She threw her hands up and laughed.
"I liked it better when the intruder was sucking the life out of you" He said and that made Abri's chest hurt. Suddenly getting silent she just followed him.
After an hour they when to different stores and all the bags she had were all black and red clothes. She got all combat boots and only two fancy shoes and some candy that Alucard forced her to get candy even if she said no. Holding most of the bags and waiting Alucard glanced at Abri who was looking at the ground holding a few light weight bags on her arms.
'She's quite bi- polar …. Or that's just her personality.' he thought and watched as she moved her weight to her right leg. She looked at him from the corner of her eye and when she saw he was looking back at her she quickly looked away.
The limo pulled up and by the time they got the bags in. Abri was in the back seat sitting quietly.
"I'll talk to her later." Alucard said when Walter raised an eyebrow at him.
"Good for a second I thought the intruder got to her." Walter sighed out and then when to his driving spot and got in the car. Turning around to his Motorbike he started up the bike and drove off not waiting for Walter to catch up.
