Abri slowly opened her eyes slowly as the morning lights glow gently came from the window. Looking around for a second she hardly took in any of it. Rolling over to her right side she sighed and closed her eyes again. But her eyes snapped open when she felt something tighten around her waist. She looks to see a white pale chest in front of her.
Looking up as best as she could, she saw a sleeping Alucard, his face gentle, peaceful, and relaxed as his sleeping form laid still. She put her hands on his chest pushing slightly to try and get away, but this made his arms tighten on her waist. Blushing slightly she closed
Her eyes tight in hope he wouldn't wake up. Opening one eye she saw he was still asleep.
Letting out a breath of relieve she tried again but when his arms tighten once more so she was trapped permanently she gave up. Moving he pulled her closer burying his head into her neck making her freeze.
'Is he going to bite me?' She thought as his warm breath rolled across her skin. Her question was answered when she felt his fangs brush against her neck.
'Oh Jebus please don't bite me! Your breath stinks too!(Not really she is just having wishful thinking XD) ' She begged feeling her heart beat climb up every second. When the thudding of her heart when us it reminded her she had superpowers.
'Ok I got this!' She thought as she moved his arm closest to her away. Slowly it began to move and she was mentally cheering for herself as she moved his arms. When his arms where finally off her she rolled slowly away from him.
'Hahha who's smart now?!' she thought as she rolled over once more and then suddenly the ground gave her a big kiss on the face. Moving her hair out her face she quickly was getting up on her knees to see if Alucard work up. Peaking over the bed she narrowed her eyes.
'We see this wild beast in its natural domain.' She thought in a Crocodile Hunter accent. She saw he was not woken, but looked like he was more asleep.
'As we watch this magnificent beast sleep, we see that his habits are a bit odd.' She moved closer to look at the way he slept. He slept like a normal person to her shock.
'I stand corrected, he sleeps like a young teen monkey on a hot summer day.' She could picture a monkey sleeping like he was now. He was kind of sprawled out and arm over his eyes before he suddenly turned over again. Giggling slightly unable to keep it down, she crawled away from the bed looking back again to check and see if he was asleep. Sadly she bumped her head into a dresser making a loud thud because she didn't close it all the way yesterday.
"Mer why!" She said a little loudly and rubbed her head and gasped as her comb started to fall from the dresser. Quickly moving into a dive she grabbed it by the handle and stopped it from hitting to hard but it still made a 'clonk' noise. Closing her eyes she waited for a second to hear him get up and yell at her. Slowly looking back she saw him still asleep.
'That's right, I forgot that he can sleep threw a lot, in the manga he slept through Seras and Walter talking for a while and Seras barging in the room loudly.' Deciding not to try and wake him up she cleared her mind and felt her body become weight less. Moving to the door she when to the room where all of her other stuff was. Moving to the door she slowly tired the knob and slipped out flying out sideways almost hitting the door with her foot. Once she was outside she fit pumped and when to her door slipping in that one and closing it quietly.
'I am free!' she said as she smiled and looked around. She could see but at the same time everything was so dark.
'Wait….the lights are of!' she thought with panic and quickly and spazed out to find the light switch which was right next to her.
'Where is it?!' she thought as she when around in a circle. Finally she saw it and flew to it and switched it on taking a moment to breath.
'I bet I was super loud!' She thought and held her breath so she could listen to Alucard. But the only thing she heart was nothing at all. She waited a minute and then was about to run out the door when she didn't hear his heart beating.
'I'm coming!' She thought as she grabbed the door then paused.
'What about his…..oh that's right, he doesn't have one…' she thought putting her hand on her chest with a bit of sadness hitting her. Taking the comb form her hand and putting it on the dresser she looked around. From the light she saw that it was night time.
'What time is it exactly?' she wondered going over to the alarm clock by the bed.
'Eleven o' five pm! We slept for…..*counts on fingers* Eight hours?!' Her eyes grew wide as she counted.
'Well I did he's still asleep.' Walking over to the bags she got all the thing she and Alucard had bought earlier that morning.
'Ok let us see what we-WAIT WHAT?!' she thought as she looked and saw only a few pair of pants and the rest were skirts.
'I…why?' She said holding one up eye twitching. They all were like the outfit she had on skirt, plaid, and black and red, pure red, or pure black. With a sigh she put on the pure black flared out skirt with one of the red daisy duke shorts under them just to be safe. Finding a pure black shirt and a red vest that looked like Walters…but red… she took off the chain and replacing it with a tie so it didn't make too much noise as she when around the house. Slipping on some thigh high black and red striped socks, she when over to another bag getting her boots on. Looking in the mirror she saw her hair was a mess! Taking her time she parted them and put them into four ponytails leaving her bangs on her left side of her face and some to frame her face on the right.
'Now let's explore!' she fist pumped and then floated to the door. When she opened it this time it was no trouble getting out and down the hall. But then she thought about what if she got lost and someone was in the house waiting for her. Epping and flying back to the room door she waited for her heart beat to slow down.
'Ok look see Abri? Nothing there, get your butt into action! There is nothing that can harm you here!' She thought huffing to her inner self.
'There is much to fear when living with Red'
'Well what about the intruder?'
'…Then you are done for.'
'Some help you are!'
'I am helpful!'
"Excuse me." A voice said down the hall. Letting out a small scream not bothering to look who it was Abri ran into the bedroom and jumped in the bed trying to hid under the covers but when she landed she hit something hard and it started to hold her down, she when off.
"Don't! Take anything you want! I have no money! Wait I have chocolate! He'll melt by the time I need to eat him!" She said..er… yelled and wiggled.
"Abri, stop it's just me." A sleepy Alucard said as he held her with one arm and rubbed his face with the other. Stopping she looked to him and smiled.
"Hey buddy ya sleep well?" She asked like she didn't swan dive on him and sat back so she was sitting on his legs right below his knees.
"Find thank you, how what where you screaming about at this time of night?" He asked as
he laid back on his elbows looking at her.
"Oh that's right I heard a voice and panicked." She said almost proudly with a smile.
"Right…" He said with a chuckle. "Delilah won't you come in?" He asked and she heard a small gap outside the door. A girl about the age of twenty game in shy and in a Victorian black maids outfit that when to her knees and a white apron with a bow tied in the back.
"Master sorry, but I didn't know who was making so much noise upstairs and saw her….then she ran in here and I wanted to make sure you where ok." She looked so innocent with her half-moon glasses, dyed white hair that brushed past her shoulders and sea green eyes.
"Oh sorry, that was me when I first woke up, I was a lost child." She laughed and Alucard just frowned. Looking confused she cocked her head to the side. But she didn't see Delilah give her a dirty look at her being so close to Alucard.
"Delilah, take Abri and get her to get dinner." He ordered. Flinching at his tone she nodded giving a quick bow and when for the door.
"Come now," She said and Abri looked at Alucard who just was looking at Delilah as if he wanted to say something.
"I'll be there in a second please, I need to ask Alucard something." She said as she got off his legs thinking she was hurting him with her butt bone. She turned so she was lying on the bed and her leg crossed his lower legs and hung off the bed. This time she saw the dirty look she gave her and Abri felt herself died a little inside at it. It looked like she wanted to chop her head off!
"Yes! ~ take your time!" She said in a suddenly cherry voice. Sweat dropping Abri waited for her to leave to start talking. As soon as she closed the door she heard her shift down and kneels next to it.
"I can hear you leaning on the door!" She said and the sound of her head hitting the door knob was heard when her moving down the hall stomping.
"Isn't she a ray of sun shine?" Abri giggled and looked over to Alucard who chuckled.
"She has a 'crush' on me, but it seems more like she's in love with me. But for now ignore her, she is just the help. Also I know your questions, no you can't explore because the maids are cleaning today, there is a night crew and a day crew but Delilah is in both so you will see her a lot."
"Lovely." She thought bitterly.
"So you will have to stay inside, but we are going somewhere tomorrow so don't bother to come out your room." He said as he sat up more and leaned his head back before suddenly Abri jumped on his chest making him fall from his elbows and flat down on the bed.
"Why?! I won't get in the way!" She said and Alucard looked at her, she looked like a little kid asking for a puppy, he was hoping and praying that she didn't want one also. Looking at her eyes he saw her lean closer and eyes grow bigger.
"I dare you to say no, I'll start jumping on your stomach like a little kid wanting waking up his parents." She said narrowing her eyes at him. Putting his index and middle finger on her forehead he pushed her off.
"No." He said and vanished into shadows. Amazed at the sudden trick she looked under the covers just in case he was pulling her leg.
"Find till you come back I'll just entertain myself!" She said and then the echoing of his voice came.
"Do that, but remember this, the people here know about the supernatural. They all have something special about them. I won't tell you now, and I am sure that you'll find out soon. "He said and Abri paused for a second.
"Wait also do I have to hid my powers?" she asked and he just chuckled.
"No but don't break anything, it might anger the maids." He said as he faded away laughing.
"Oh ya, even in real life that laugh will forever and always be creepy." She thought as she looked around a bit paranoid. Deciding to find someone living so she could calm down she quickly when out the door and few down the hall to the door. She was going to turn the knob when it stopped moving.
"Locked? OH! This must be a bed room!" She said and then when down the other way. She kept close to the ceiling because knowing her she would fly into someone like in Hellsing. When she got to the spiral stairs the first thing she wanted to so be slid down the rail. Grinning she quietly when back to her room to grab her black trench coat that when to her knees and set it on the rail.
"I know I am going to break something but oh well!" she whispered and giggled at how excited she was. She looked down to make sure no one was near then sat on the rail. Pushing off with her feet she started to slide down.
"WEEEE!" She as she leaned forward to make herself go faster. She was happy that the stairs where the kind that when to the bottom to the top, but bad thing was she heard someone walk down the hall. Panicking and trying to stop herself, she grabbed on to the rail but that just forced her to fly forward.
(Ok this is a slow motion moment)
She flew forward and watched as Delilah bent down just in time to fix the carpet that was flipped over on the edge.
"Ok after I'm done I got to get the brat and feed her." She hissed. Holding her breath she hoped she would not turn around and see her fly past her. Lucky for her the window was open and she ended up spiraling out the window and out in the backyard. When she hit the ground arm first it didn't hurt as much as she thought.
"Ugh would have broken my arm again!" She growled and started picking leaves out of her hair. Blinking and looking around her eyes became wide.
"Wow..." She said as she looked at the garden. There was a small lake in the back yard, then there were trees and a path that lead to a small garden maze made out of a hedge. Turning around to the house she saw a door cracked open. Slipping slowly to the door she wondered what was in there.
"na na na na na na na na na na na na BATMAN! Batman!" She sung as she when over to the door flying in slow motion, but failed because she keeps speeding up and almost hit the wall when she got near. Dropping to the ground she grinned and nodded.
'Ah ha! I forgot I was scared of the dark!' She thought with a proud smile. Suddenly her tummy (yes tummy) drop. Spazing and running away from the suddenly scary door, she didn't see that she ran over the garden path and crashed into the gate making the board flip her over to the other side like in cartoons. Hands over her eyes and sitting down on the ground, she slowly took a look at where she was. She felt like she walked into Hercules garden. It had stone and the lake that was in the back yard of Alucard house also when in theirs. Their grass was cut short and Greeks stones and marble foot paths where everywhere.
"I should sing that 'song." She thought but decided not to. Also unlike Alucard's garden, this one had ghostly looking lamps lit with a single candle glowing bright in all of them and never even flicking at the wind as it blew.
'Wonder how?' She thought as she moved up to one then hopped enough so she could start flying to eye level with it. She saw the bright orange flame standing still and just glow. She felt too much heat off of it for it to be fake, and it was too bright to be an ordinary flame.
"What are you?" She asked as she started to reach out to at least feel the warm heat a bit more.
"Who's there?" An extremely strong British voice asked. Losing her concentration she fell to the ground on her butt.
"Ouch." She grumbled as she rubbed her butt. Then she felt something grab ahold of her coat she tied around her waist when she fell through the window.
"EEPP!" She squeaked and was face to face with a skinny man with a Teddy Roosevelt mustache and almost balled hair. He looked to be around the age of forty years or in his late thirty's. He wore a gray suit with a tail on the coat and a black shirt under it with black dress shoes.
"Might I ask why you are in our garden?" He asked and she felt herself shiver as his ghost like breath moved around her.
"I-I- was running then hit the board and it sent me flying over here! I swear and then the lights were interesting so I when to look at it!" She said shaking now as he gripped both sides of her coat.
"Well you k now trespassing is against the law. Why if we were back in my time! We-"
"Arthur! Put that girl down!" A female voice that sounded snobby and high said and the felt herself and the man stumble as a fan hit him on the head.
"But she was-" "But nothing! I saw and she tells the truth!" She said and when Abri saw her she wanted to laugh and cry from joy. She had a pointed nose like a witch; tight dress that showed her chest, she knew she wore a corset, and her outfit was deep blue with golden pointed heals. Her body was really skinny but she had a beautiful face. Reason she wanted to laugh was because her eyelashes where so huge! She put on those fake ones and apparently got the wrong size! Not only that but she was about 23 years old at the least!
"But dear! We can't let this go unpunished!" Arthur took his grip from my coat and jerked my arm forward making her step up.
"Well I don't think Alucard would be to please with this!" she said as she jerked Abri to her and to her surprise his hand came off. She was about to scream when the woman covered her mouth.
"Shhh! You will wake up the others that live around here. Now come on the back porch and Arthur go to the store and get some food. We have a guest here and heaven knows she will die if we try to feed her food we have in the cabinets!" She said linking her arms with Abri and threw the hand back to her husbands.
"Yes Elizabeth," He grumbled and then stormed pass them.
"But if she causes trouble I'll be sure to scare the living day lights out of her!" He said and Abri jumped behind Elizabeth.
"Arthur!" She said gasping a little. His reaction was just grumbling and walking into the door going through it.
"How did he just do that!? " She asked. She looked over to watch Elizabeth drag her to the house.
"I shall explain in a second dear," She said as she sat her in a chair that just happens to pop up with a table.
"Now," She sat down in the one in front of her. "Tell me who are you?" She asked as she leaned on her hands.
"There has not been much gossip around here! Especially when most of the people that could be fun are dead." She said motioning to her head as she suddenly took it off. Abri froze in shock then everything when blank.
