5: Day 5
I haven't started bleeding yet, have I, Doctor?
No, not from what I can see, Sir Hellsing. Have you found any unusual bruises anywhere?
No, I can't say that I have.
And you're still vomiting?
Yes, but I haven't seen any blood.
That's good.
Doctor, can you do something for me?
Yes.
Please hand me a bed pan before I vomit all over the bed.
Yes, here you go!
(Vomiting)
You're doing fine, Integra. Just fine.
Doctor, there's—(Vomiting)
Yes, I can see that. All right, I'll let the nurses know. We knew it would come soon. Don't worry, you'll be all right.
(Heavy breathing) Where's my brother? Where is he? I need to see him. Where's Landon?
The waiting room. I'll get him.
Wait!
Sir Hellsing?
I'm not finished.
(Vomiting)
~O~
Walter, I don't think I've seen this much activity since Integra's been here. What's going on? The nurses look panicked.
They must be overwhelmed…
(Silence)
Do you think it's Integra?
(Silence)
Walter?
I'm afraid to say, Landon.
But it wouldn't surprise you would it?
No.
(Silence)
Oh, Doctor Creed! How's my sister? Is she okay?
She's started bleeding, Landon. The first signs of it showed up in her vomit this morning. She's been on an IV anyway, but I'm having the nurses start her on oral rehydration. If we can keep fluids in her system, she'll have a better chance.
(Silence)
I know that's a lot to take in, son—
Is my sister dying?
No. No, not at all. But she's very sick.
I want to see her.
(Sigh) I thought you might. She was asking for you. Go and see her, Landon. That might make both of you feel better.
~O~
The doc said you're bleeding.
I just started…
They're making you drink.
Yes.
(Silence)
Don't leave me, Integra. You're the only family I have left. I need you.
I know, Landon. I won't go if I can help it….
(Silence)
Integra, I've given Alucard the order.
What order?
If you're ever too far gone for help…I told him he could change you.
(Silence)
That wasn't… (Sigh) Thank you, Landon.
I know you'd do the same for me, sis. Just…promise me you won't let this win?
I promise.
