Unsolved Riddle: Chapter 2

Yawning loudly, you tried to stood up but you knocked your head directly on the ``top`` of the bed. That's right. You nearly forgot about what happened yesterday. You sighed before you adjusted your eyes in the darkness, trying to find a way to get out from this coffin prison.

- " What the hell is wrong with them?! Coffin-bed for tourists?! And they said I am the freak... " you pouted, passing a hand on the wood.


You groaned, hitting your forehead against the coffin. Why didn't they include a way out too?

- " Seriously, how can my life goes much better? Oh yes, that's right! Ahem, Miss (L/N), your next and last investigation will be in England, where you will certainly take care of supernatural things! Next, you will encounter a crazy, psychopath, lunatic guy in red who has already amnesia and doesn't remember the people's name! And that's not all! The SAME man will kidnap you and bring you to a she-dressing-male smoker where they will tell you that you are part of the Hellsing Organization! And finally...I STILL DIDN'T GET MY FREAKING BATH!!!!!!!!!!! " you yelled loudly, even if the sound was muffled by the damn coffin.

- " Will you shut up, detective girl? " said a voice you didn't want to heard at 6 o'clock in the morning.

- " What, you heard me? " you said, a deadpan expression on your face.

- " I can heard and see all your thoughts, detective girl " said Alucard and you could clearly feel the smirk on his face right now.

- " Get me out of there "

- " Why would I? "

- " ALUCARD " you warned.


He only snickered and left your ranting form behind him. Oh, you wanted to punch his pretty face badly. When you will get out of there, you will find and beat him to death(even if you couldn't). You tried to lift the top but you were too weak. Then, you started to kick it with your feet. Maybe someone will finally hear you...

- " Miss (L/N)? Is everything- OH MY! Miss (L/N)!!!! "

It was Walter. You heard a faint click and the top lifted by itself. You quickly rushed yourself out of the bed, kissing the carpet without shame.

- " ALL HAIL TO WALTER C. DORNEZ! " you said while throwing your arms in the air and the poor butler stared at you with a brow raised.

- " May I ask what you were doing, Miss? "

- " Firstly, is this normal there are coffin-kind-like-bed in this damn organization? Second, can I kick Alucard's butt? Finally, where is the bathroom? "


After a moment of silence, Walter smiled, his eyes closed.

- " My deepest apologies for the misunderstanding with your bed, you were not supposed to have this kind of thing. If I were you, I wouldn't try to ``fight`` Alucard in any way. Second floor, third door at the right " he said, answering all your questions.

Like the blink of an eye, you passed Walter who stood there with a dumbfounded expression. Rushing to the second floor, you opened the door and locked it. Sighing in relief, you let yourself fall down on it. Now, you could have the bath you were waiting for HOURS.

Stripping, you opened the valve and let the rain of the shower purr down above your head. You let out a happy sigh but you paled when you felt you were been watched. Turning off the shower, you looked out from it to see if there was REALLY someone or it was just you been paranoid (and it wouldn't be the first time). Then, you heard something fall on the ground. Taking the towel who was hanging to the wall, you examined the room with a pout. Than, you frowned at the small details who caught your eyes.

- " The carpet had move on the right side a little...but the knob is still the same, without any trace of finger or dust from another person than me, meaning that this person was able to pass the door without even opening it... " you stated and you started to scowl silently. " The window didn't change during my shower, so nobody could have pass by this way, or the person is pretty clever. This person isn't an idiot, that's for sure. If I can put my theories on the shattered objet on the floor, I guess this pervert is VERY fast for getting out of the room, and like I said, nobody took the door or the window... "

You heard a dark chuckle and you froze on the spot. That bastard. You slowly turned around and saw Alucard leaning on a wall, smirk clear on his face. You didn't know if you must scream bloody murder or kill him right now.

- " Very good guessing, detective girl...You earn your title with honor " he mumbled, eyeing you dangerously.

- " GET OUT, PERVERT! OR I WON'T HESITATE TO USE THIS WEAPON! " you snarled, threatening him with...a toothbrush. Hey, it was better than nothing. He started to laugh, finding your stupidity amusing.

- " You think that you would beat me with this? Don't be a fool, detective girl "

- " My name is (Y/N)! Remember it, Grandpa! "

- " You dare call me ``Grandpa``? Pathetic girl, do you know who you are defying? "

Alucard's red eyes started to glow menacingly and you took a few steps back, clinging to your towel like it could save you from the horny jerk in front of you. Slowly, he pulled out one of his gun, pointing it at you.

- " E-eh?! NOT AGAIN?!! " you yelled and Alucard smiled sadistically.

- " A good punishment is in order, detective girl...and if you are lucky, maybe you will still be alive when I through with you! "

Screaming loudly, you tear the door from its hinges and ran for your dear life in the hallways of Hellsing, having a crazy vampire king chasing you like some piece of meat.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While you were chasing down, Integral could hear everything and she sighed desperately. Walter, who stood beside her, smiled apologetically at her. Standing from her chair behind the desk, she walked to the window.

- " Walter, why did Alucard brought this girl? " she asked to her loyal butler.

- " Sir, I never know what's happening in his head...maybe he had faith in her? Or there is something more deeper than that... " he muttered the last part and Integral snorted.

- " Don't tell me he has a thing for her? "

- " Only him know the answer " said Walter with a knowing smile.

- " Unless they destroy my manor or put in danger England, I don't care what they are doing " she said while seating down once more. " Walter, I want you to bring Miss (Y/N) in my office, I must speak with her... "

- " Yes, Sir Integral "

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


- " M-master! Please stop it! You will hurt Miss (Y/N)! " said Seras, trying to hold back her master from killing you on the spot.

- " Do I look like I care, police girl? " he said blankly, pulling the trigger once more and you avoided the bullet by throwing yourself on the ground.

- " Why are you trying to shot me? " you asked in disbelief. " If the reason is because I call you ``Grandpa``, than I'm sorry- "

Seras tried to muffle her laugh but failed and Alucard stared at her darkly. Shaking with nervousness, she took a few steps back, holding her hands high in the air. He turned back at you and if looks could kill, you would certainly be dead by now. You smiled cockily, putting a finger over your lips.

- " Oops... I let it out!~ Maybe I should call you ``Grumpy pants`` or maybe ``Cockface``... " you trailed, counting the nicknames on your fingers.

- " THAT'S IT!!!!! " he snarled angrily and took his other gun.

- " Oh, but wait! I have better ones! "

He growled loudly and before he could make a hole between your eyes, Walter stood protectively in front of you. You stuck out your tongue at Alucard.

- " Walter. Stand aside. "

- " My apologies, Alucard, but Sir Integral need to talk to this woman... " said Walter and Alucard frowned before sighing loudly, hiding his guns again.


The butler turned to you and that's when he saw your attire. A huge blush appeared on his cheeks and he coughed in his hand.

- " M-miss (Y/N)? Can I ask the reason why y-you are...only in your towel? " he asked, eyeing the wall behind him.

- " Ah? EH?! " you screeched loudly before holding your towel more tightly, your cheeks so red that they could put in shame a tomato. " T-This is the bastard's fault! He wanted to see me wash myself! "

- " Alucard " warned Walter.

- " Oh my Walter, is this a blush I see on your face? Finally get laid? " smirked darkly Alucard and Walter choked his on saliva before staring angrily at Alucard. Before he could rant at him for his demeanor, an idea pupped in his head and Walter smiled.

- " Yes, you're right sir, and I think this is the first time " he said while enlacing you.

Your blush intensified and your mouth went agape. You stared at the butler with an astonished gaze, confused over the situation but Walter knew what he was doing. He wanted to know the reason why Alucard took you in. He need to. At first, Alucard seems stoic for a moment, but something flashed in his eyes but disappeared quickly. Too bad for him cause Walter smiled mentally. Now he understood perfectly. The No-Life King had a soft spot for you. Alucard hummed before walking away, passing through a wall without a second glance behind him. Walter chuckled, releasing you.

- " My apologies for my behavior, Ma'am...I used this moment to seek information from Alucard " Walter said while bowing.

- " So, it wasn't true? " you asked.

- " No "

You let out a sigh of relief and Seras giggled but frowned when she remembered the look on her master's face. It was...deadly, even if he was hiding it.


- " Now, now. We must see Sir Integral, she wants to see you, Miss (L/N) "

- " Lead the way, oh mighty Monocle "


The butler twitched at the nickname.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After changing yourself (without a stalker), you met Integral inside her office.

- " Miss (Y/N), what I'm asking you is if you truly want to be here...I don't want to force anyone, but if you chose to say no, we will be obligated to kill you on the spot " she said blankly and you looked at her like a second head appeared on her shoulders.

- " How charming... " you said with sarcasm and Integral smirked. " I have...no choices, right? "

- " We don't want to risk ourselves from letting you free...Who knows what could happen if someone know that you have been here? They would certainly torture you to get answers out on Hellsing... " she explained.

- " I understand " you sighed. " But what about the others? Sasha and the officers? They will certainly tried to trace me "

- " Already took care of that... "

- " Eh? And how? "


You were nervous. What did she do? Her smirk widened and she closed her eyes.

- " Well, by telling them you were dead... "


A moment of silence passed before you yelled loudly, grabbing your hair. You were pretty sure that everyone in the building heard you.

- " WHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTT?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU ARE A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WOMAN!!! "

- " No need to yell, I'm not deaf " she said blankly.

- " Don't you understand what's the meaning? They think I'M DEAD...when I'm not...What if they see me on the streets?! or somewhere?! "

- " Soldier, shut up " she said sternly and you did so. " From now on, you will live here, do as we say and there will be no problems...Walter, enter! "


The butler entered the room with a big suitcase. You raised a brow for a moment, looking at it. What the hell is that?

- " Ahem! Miss (L/N), this is our latest weapon we just receive... " smiled Walter and opened the suitcase to pull out...

TWO.FREAKING.BAZOOKAS.

You stood there, staring at the weapon in disbelief. They weren't serious?

- " Miss (Y/N), this is now your personal weapon " explained Walter.

- " Are you kidding me?! They. are. two. fucking. bazookas! How will I lift them?! "

- " This is the ``Hellsing M20A1/A1B1 SUPER BAZOOKA ``. A length of 60 in, a caliber of 3.5 in and a weight of 14.3 lb for the M20A1 and 13  lb for the M20A1B1. The maximum of its range its 1000 yd or 913 m if you want... I hope you will enjoy this weapon "

- " No way I will use them in all my life! I- "

- " Soldier, do as I say and go training " cut Integral with a cold frown and you shivered.

- " Yes Sir! " you said and she smiled in a way that gave you chills behind your back.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- " You need to lift them a little higher, detective girl "

- " Don't worry (Y/N), I'm sure you will do it! " smiled Seras in the back corner of the room.

- " Can you please let me concentrate?! "

- " You do it wrong "

You eyed the vampire king with a scowl on your face while he was smirking widely at your state. First of all, you had difficulty to lift the two bazookas (M20A1 WAS HEAVY!!!). Plus, you didn't know how to put them at all on your shoulders. Seriously, you looked like an idiot for the pass hour already. Second, a certain red man came to ``help`` you, but in fact, he just wanted to tease you. Finally, every time you aimed for the target, you would fall on your back.

- " Okay, I think I know how to do it now! " you said with a determined expression and Alucard snickered a little.

- " No, you don't, detective girl...If I were you, I would stop what you are doing right now "

- " Oh yeah? And why would I listen to you? " you said blankly.

- " I don't think you want to hurt yourself, detective girl "

- " STOP CALLING ME THAT "


Not caring about his warning, you took your composure once again and aimed the target. Pulling the trigger, your breath caught in your lunges and you found yourself in the wall behind you. You coughed blood and you fell on the floor. Seras let out a scream and she quickly went to you, helping to get on your feet.

- " (Y/N)!!! Are you okay?! " she said, alarmed.

- " Fan.Fucking.Tastic....What was Walter thinking about giving me this?! "

- " Because he knows that you can do better, detective girl "


You turned to Alucard, confused. The look on his face was indescribable, he looked like he was worried, but at the same time, not.

- " If you don't take this responsibility seriously...You will stay weak...it won't surprise me if you die tomorrow... " he said while turning his back to you. " And...you will be a disappointment, just like the others... " he muttered the last part.

- " Hey, I didn't say I would stop at this point! " you snarled at him and he stared at you with a surprised expression. " If I was truly weak like you say, I wouldn't be here today! I could have let Integral kill me, but I didn't...and here I am right now, so deal with it if I can't aim the target perfectly! " you huffed and you took back your bazookas.


You returned where you were once, aiming for the last time the target. Before you could pull the trigger, you felt hands on yours and you looked up to see Alucard, his black hair shading his red eyes.

- " Crouch on the ground " he said simply and he pushed you down on your knees. " Next, aim the target more higher than normal... "

- " But- "

- " Do as I say, detective girl! " he growled at you and you huffed in annoyance.

- " If you say so, Grandpa... "

Taking your posture, you pulled the trigger of the two bazookas and this time, you didn't rush in the wall. To your surprise, the target exploded and you started to jump happily.

- " I did it! I did it! "

- " I know you could do it " smiled Seras.

When you were about to thank Alucard, you noticed he had disappeared in thin air and you frowned in your mind. What was his problem? You didn't have the time to think about it that Integral entered the room.

- " I see that you have mastered your weapons, Miss (Y/N)...I think it's the time for you to show us what you are able " she smiled and your mouth went agape.

- " B-But, Sir...I-I don't think I'm a-able right now... " you trailed but she ignored you.

- " Your mission is obviously killing ghouls...You will be accompanied by our soldiers and Seras too, so if anything bad happen, we will still have someone to finish the job... "

- " Okay, Sir " you sighed deeply. " What most I do? "

- " A certain new carnival just arrive in town...Some people said that weird things happen in it...we want you to investigate, search and kill everything about ghouls or other supernatural creatures...Am I clear, soldier? "

- " Yes Sir! "

- " Good, now get to work! "

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- " Seras, kill me now! "

It have not been ten minutes already that you just arrive and now you really wanted to get the hell out of there. Seras stared at you in disbelief, not understanding your change of moods. It was just...so sudden. What didn't help you is the environment. The. Creepy. Dark. Muddy. Environment. You were asking yourself what kind of sick person would take his/her kids to a place like that (strangely, your mother would be volunteer).

The carnival was desert, no sign of souls. It didn't really surprise you very much. Judging by the decorations, you could guess that a lot of people found this carnival boring to no end and with the many plush, toys, and other weird things, you thought that not many people brought their kids in it. Something was wrong, you could feel it. Sighing, you made your way toward the entrance, observing your surrounding like you thought some ghoul would jump on you.

The Hellsing soldiers followed you slowly, not caring about breaking everything in their way. That's when you got separated from Seras, without even releasing it. It's only when you smelled the air and coughed that you did. The smell was so disgusting that you could get asphyxiate by it. Pinching your nose, you continued in the same direction, failing to see the sky get darker with each second that pass. Music came to your ears and you stopped for a moment. This strange lullaby wasn't unknown to you. You definitely heard it somewhere in your young child years.


Come, sleep, take me
Ferry me right through this dark hour
Or I'll keep watch
Listening and shaking like a flower

You followed that enchanting voice of a young woman. Well, you hoped it was a young woman, or else, it would be..awkward. Shrugging your thoughts away, the voice lead you to a small tent, filled with lights and designed with stars, still listening to her.

The train roars by, strange lullaby
Water pounds on the roof and the ground outside
And all that's fine, that's what I like
But there's so much more

I smile too much and talk to strangers
More than I ought to knowing this world eventually
Leads lambs to the slaughter


You looked inside to see a cloaked figure, her back facing you. She was sitting on a golden chair and she was playing with some kind of crystal ball.

- " Alright, a gypsy... " you greeted your teeth silently. Gypsies sometime scare you, like the time you went to one and she predicted that you will have a death experience...only for a couple of days later to learn that the same gypsy died in a fire. They said she was a pyromania, so she put her house on fire. What a traumatizing moment, you must say.


Will I see danger in the eyes of another?
The face of evil once was fair to its mother
Maybe luck is on my side
Look at all the days that we survive

Each year I get more tired
But it's getting hard to sleep well at night


- " E-excuse me...do you own the carnival? " you asked the woman softly, cursing your shaking voice.

- " So you finally came...I thought you will never get your lazy ass over here " she rasped and you scowled darkly at her. " Come here, I want to see your face, my child... "


You did as she said and stood before her, your mouth touching the ground when you perfectly saw her. She was a old lady and you felt embarrassed for a moment. When the gypsy saw the look on your face, she frowned a little.

- " You thought I was young? "

- " Don't take it personally, but yes... "

- " You're not the first...Anyway, do you know why you came to me? "

- " Because I had no choices? " you said blankly and she cackled loudly.

- " No, stupid girl...You came here because you want some ``information``...right, (Y/N)? " she winked at you.

- " HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?! "

- " It's written just there " she said while pointing on the small etiquette on your chest.

- " Oh... " you sweatdropped and she rolled her yellow eyes. " So, what kind of information you can give to me? "

- " You will only need the present and the future, my child...what do you seek more between the two at this right moment? " she said while entwining her fingers.

- " Well...the future is appalling... but I want the present... "

- " Then, we will go with the present...Ahem! " she closed her eyes, lifting her hands above the red crystal ball. She muttered strange words and the ball started to glow. " Show me her present...show me what she seeks...show me what she needs to know! "

The crystal started to glow deeper, turning purple for a moment, than darker to pitch black and you shuddered by the sight. What was the meaning? Arg, those gypsies...

- " It seems that...you had a strange future, Miss (Y/N) " hummed the gypsy, not taking her eyes off the ball. " You see...Well I can't tell you right now, but when it will be the time, I will let you know, my dear! " she smiled and you stared at her with a dumbfounded expression.

- " How will I know? " you finally asked her.

- " I don't know myself!~ " And that's when you fell from your chair. " Anyway, you can always see me for more information, I will always be there...And for your mission, go see in the red tent, the answer you seek is right there~ "

- " The red tent? "

She waved goodbye at you and you did the same thing awkwardly. That woman was weird. Exiting the tent, your eyes widened and you turned around.

- " I- "

- " My name is Sabrina...Hope we will see each other soon "

- " Goodbye, Sabrina " you smiled at her.

With a determined expression, you tried to find the red tent. After half an hour for the search the red tent, you still didn't find it. Leaning on some kind of big box, you frowned deeply.

- " Where the hell is the big tent? "


Then, you heard a loud, creepy noise behind you. You froze on the spot and you slowly looked back at the covered box by a blue tissue. You lifted it and your eyes started to get used by the darkness, only to arrive face to face with a decomposed lion. Screaming like a mad woman, you quickly ran away like the plague was just behind you, tears cascading down your cheeks.

- " OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IHATETHISPLACE.......KILLMEKILLMEKILLME!!!! SERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS!!! "

If Seras didn't hear you, then she was deaf, because you were pretty sure that even the Monocle, Walter, heard you from the Hellsing Manor. You were seriously going to kill Integral when you will get back from this damned mission. Panting, you let yourself fall on your knees, your tears falling on the ground.

- " Why m-me? Why did I do to earn this life? " you said to no one in particular.

- " Poor beautiful lady...crying doesn't suit you... " said a female voice.

Gasping, your turned around and saw a woman dressed in a lacy outfit. If it wasn't for the fact you were in a carnival, you would thought she was some kind of prostitute. Her dark red hair was hiding one of her eyes. Your (E/C) eyes were staring back at her green ones.

- " Do you need help? Ask me and I will see what I can do... " she mumbled, eyeing your figure and a chill ran down your back.

- " N-NO...I mean, I don't think so... " you stammered and she laughed with her angelic voice. It was entrancing you, if you could say.

- " Come with me, beautiful maiden... "

- " Stop saying that, it's creepy "

- " Come with me and all your worries will disappear...I can assure that... " she smiled, opening a hand for you to take it.

- " Okay....No thanks, seriously. A least, you could tell me where is the ``red tent`` "

- " The red tent? Oh! You mean the tent of the magician?! Well, welcome then... "

- " EH?! You are the owner? "


She nodded her head and made a gesture to follow her. Not knowing what to do, you accepted to follow and she leaded you inside her tent. She made you sit on a purple chair, designed with snakes. While she was away, you took this time to observe your surrounding. The tent was pretty big, compared to the others you saw today. Like on your chair, the tent was designed with snakes biting their tails, which creep you out a little. There was a poster too: ``Laure the Great`` and you guessed it was her name. When she came back, she sat down in front of you.

- " My name is Laure...I'm the Magician of the carnival...Now tell me, why are you visiting us? Do you want me to impress you with my tricks? Or... " her darkened with unknown lust. "...do you want something else, Ma'am? "

- " First of all, I'm not here for any tricks...Plus, it would be useless..."

- " Oh? And why? "

- " You truly aren't a magician...Your eyes are filled with uneasiness  and excitation, so I conclude that you're not used to have people in your tent and the fact your hands are shaking isn't helping at all...The box behind you are filled with your ``magic tools``...I can see from where I stand that there is dust on it and you kept glancing at it since I entered this tent...You clearly want to show me a trick cause you have no one to do so...Truly desperate, if I must say " you smiled, but you frowned confusingly when you saw her taking the information quit...calmly.

In fact, she was smiling wider than before. She stood and made her way toward you, bringing a finger on your stomach up between your breasts. You blushed furiously and she hummed softly.

- " True...I'm not a magician like the one you saw certainly before...I'm more like a...illusionist " she said and Laure took your chin between her fingers. " Tell me...do you want me to show you, my dear? Everything you want to... "

- " I-I think I will g-go now... " you whispered and you quickly rushed outside.


You ran away and when you turned a corner you face planted on someone's chest. You looked up to no other than Alucard himself.

- " ALUCARD?! What the freaking hell are you doing here?! "

- " (Y/N)?! It have been one hour already we were searching you! Seras killed the ghoul, we can go home now...Seem they didn't reinforcement after all " he said while pulling his gun back.

- " I'm coming, I'm coming... " you muttered and stood up on your feet.


You followed him but froze on the spot. Your confused face turned to a snarl and you pulled out your two bazookas, crouching on the ground and pulled the trigger. Alucard fell on the ground at the impact and he turned at you, anger written on his face.

- " WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT?! RESPOND, (Y/N)! "

- " Shut up " you said coldly. " You aren't Alucard....He never call me once by my name, it was always ``Detective girl``. When Alucard use one of his gun, it always with the right hand, not the left one. Finally, you are noting like him, Laure " you grunted, still pointing your bazookas.

- " Bravo...(Y/N)...You truly are what we say of you... "


The ``Alucard`` in front of you turned slowly to Laure and you aimed her. Opening her arms wider, she smiled smugly at you.

- " Show me what you got, ``Detective girl`` " she teased.

- " Now you will get it, b*tch! "

You pulled the trigger and she avoided the blow. She ran rapidly at you and you had no time to aim again that she gave you a punch to your jaw. Falling on your back, she straddled your hips, holding you down by the neck. Struggling for freedom, you shot her cold look, scowling.

- " Get your fat ass off of me! " you snarled at her and she only laughed like a witch.

- " No need to yell, beautiful (Y/N)...Why don't you use your lips for another thing?~ "


She approached her face near yours, nose touching each other. Your eyes widened and you blushed brightly. She wouldn't dare?! When she was about to kiss you, you groaned in annoyance and shove her off of you.

- " Hell no! You won't steal my first kiss, b*tch! " you crouched on the ground and fired her with one bazooka.

This time, she didn't avoid it and she was wounded to the shoulder. Spitting blood on the ground, she fell on her knees and you approached her slowly, still aiming the bazooka on your shoulder on her. You won't take any chance with Laure. She stared up at you, smiling cruelly and you cocked a brow to that.

- " Why are you smiling? You do know I can kill you- " you didn't have the time to say much that you heard a growl behind you and you turned around to see a moving-corpse lion. Gulping, you targeted the dead lion but Laure took a hold of your arms, trapping you completely.

- " Poor girl...Do you want to know how much it hurt to be bite by a lion? "

- " How about a ``no``? "

- " Unfortunately, you will experience it in a matter of seconds... " she said while pushing you toward the lion.

The lion started to charge at you and you closed your eyes at that moment, thinking about how painful your death will be. Then, you heard a shot coming from somewhere in front of you. You reopened your eyes to see Seras with her cannon and the figure of the lion lying on the ground. Sighing in relief, you gave a thumb up to Seras and she did the same before her eyes widened and pointed behind you.

With your reflex, you avoided the deadly blow of Laure and you kicked her down. Taking your two bazookas, you aimed her one more and last time.

- " Something you want to say before I kill you? " you asked her smugly.

- " Yes...Hehehe...He will come...for you...I'm sad that I will not be here to see them...I had been waiting this for so long...how unfortunate..."

- " W-what? " you asked with confusion writing on your features.

- " (Y/N)! Kill her now! " yelled Seras.


Without a second thought, you pulled the trigger and it pierced her skull. Still in shock, you watched the body slowly burnt, engulfed by the flames.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- " How was your mission, Soldier? " asked Integral when she saw you walking back to the Hellsing Organization.

You didn't answer her. In fact, you blacked out in front of her, face planting on the ground while Seras squealed in worry.

- " Was it that bad? " she asked in disbelief.

- " Well, it was a lot to take, Sir Integral " smiled Seras nervously, taking your limb body in her arms.


When you returned to you, which was in the evening, you decided to change your mind by reading a good book. It was calming you, in a sense. While reading, you were too concentrated to notice a certain red vampire sitting on the chair next to you.

- " Why are you doing, detective girl? "

- " ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT?!! "

- " It's too easy to scare you, detective girl " smirked Alucard, enjoying your frightened state.

- " So you heard about the mission... " you muttered, a slight blush on your face. " You certainly find me weaker than before..."

- " Well, a least you killed the target...May I ask a question, detective girl? "

- " STOP CALLING ME THAT! "

- " You seem perplexed...why is that? "

- " Why do you care? I mean, I don't think you're THAT kind of man, judging by your relationship with Seras.... "

- " Me and Police girl is quit different...however, I can feel there is something wrong with you, and I don't want to endure your sobs during the nights or whatever it is... "

- " It just...I think a lot about Sasha...I want to see her again..." you muttered sadly, closing the book harshly.


There was a moment of silence. An awkward moment, if you must say. Alucard was still staring at you with his red eyes, no emotions on his face. Totally a poker face. Suddenly, you heard Integral calling for him and he stood up from his chair.

- " Goodnight...detective girl~ " teased Alucard and you felt the urge to thrown him your book behind the head.


But you knew it was a bad idea...Oh, for fuck's sakes, what were you losing? Throwing it rather rapidly, the book aimed directly Alucard's head. You nearly laughed cause you didn't actually thought THAT it would hit him. Rubbing the back of his head, he slowly turned around to stared at you, darkness filling his eyes. Whistling nervously:

- " I didn't do anything..."

- " Detective girl " warned Alucard. " You truly have a death wish..."

- " ALUCARD, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!!! " yelled Integral from the second floor and you smirked at him.

- " Seems like YOUR master is calling you, Grandpa..."

- " Don't think I'm finish with you "


He disappeared behind a corner and you yelled in happiness in your head. You regret nothing~

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Without having a notion of time, you returned to your room near midnight, only to get lost...again. Sighing in frustration, you turned another corner of the basement, still in search of your bedroom. What a pain in the butt.


- " For god's sakes, where the hell am I?! "

Hearing a growl behind you, your eyes widened before they set on a dark figure. A dog. Correction. A hound. Recorrection. A hell hound. Staring nervously in the red eyes of the creature, you facepalmed yourself.

- " What I am thinking? It sure they have hell hounds in this damned organization! I'm serious, if I see an unicorn flying through a wall on my way back to my room, I'm going to cry..."


The hound barked before advancing to you. You took a few steps back, before feeling the wall on your back. That's it. This is the end. Closing your eyes tightly, you slide down the wall, waiting for your death. But it never came. In fact, the dog barked happily and started to lick your face. Giggling, you hugged him back.

- " Awwwww~ You're so cute... " standing up, you finally remembered where was your room and you waved goodbye to the hound. " I must go cutie...I need to sleep..."


The hound whined but sat down. Making your way toward your room, you entered it and change yourself in a sweater and only in your panties. Yawning loudly, you lied down on the bed, hugging the pillow while closing your eyes. That's when you felt another weight on your bed, and you squeaked to see the same hound from before.

- " HOW THE HELL DID YOU COME HERE?! I'M PRETTY SURE I HAD CLOSED THE DOOR?! " sighing in irritation, you let the dog sleeps next to you. " Goodnight, doggy... " you yawned before pushing the button to make the top of the bed descend on you, forming a coffin.


You were getting use to it and it was a comfort to you. Closing your eyes one more time, you felt in a deep sleep, failing to see and feel a pair of arms encircling your waist.
