Beyond †he Darkness (Hellsing)

poltergeist (20)

OR...(endless absurdity abound)

"My new Master, as I am here in America, how do you wish me to appear, then?" the eldritch vampire asked with a raised eyebrow. He was thinking naked and in bed but that's not remotely her thoughts.

"Preferably invisible and out of the way? Can you wear that Vampire?" Angelica harped at him.

"I see, been taking lessons from my other Master?" his voice dripped with a hint of arrogance.

With a roll of her hips, Angelica turned to face the vampire still sitting in the chair, "I distinctly remember ordering you to keep your mouth shut..."

"As you wish, my new Master..." then Alucard stood up and became curious about his surroundings.

His eyes studied the titles of the books and was somewhat impressed, so let a whistle out. Then with hands behind his back, the Shadow King began to read each section of the books placed on the table. Next he moved his hands again back in front and his right index finger glided down the page. The Vampire glanced at the young woman, then pulled the bookmark out, suddenly and began to flip through pages.

"Alucard! I had that page marked for a reason!" Angel growled at him. "Why the hell did you do that?"

The old Vampire, with years of practice at being a passive aggressive asshole, placed a finger to his lips, "Sssh..."

"Why you...! Just wear all black and go for a wal...wander around the house!" Angelica huffed. "Can't you see I am researching something?!"

A grin begins to grow on Alucard's face, at the fact Angelica almost slipped up and commanded him, to go for a walk. Many a time Sir Hellsing regretted that one. He bowed then phased through the books, then the table and finally through the library wall. Eerie, maniacal laughter could be heard echoing through the manor. Angelica now knew why Integra pinched her nose and smoked. That vampire had to go, before the six months was up because Miss Black couldn't imagine six hours, stuck with him.

"Miss Black," one of the manor staff entered the library.

"Yes Gerald?" Angelica said politely.

"You have a case at this residence," Gerald handed her the address on a slip of paper. "It seems a poltergeist has become rather active as of lately. Some paranormal cleaners attempted to banish it..."

"Hmm, I'm on it," Angel hummed. "Have you seen Alucard around?"

"Alucard?"

"The tall man dressed in red?" Angelica described him.

"Oh no, there's a young lady dressed in white, named Ally, in the living room..."Gerald stated, unconcerned.

Angelica blanched, "Does this girl have black hair and unusual eyes?"

"Yes, why?" Now Gerald was confused.

"Oh well, she has an oral fixation so don't let her put anything in her mouth, as it's dangerous to get it back out. You might lose a finger..."

Gerald blinked, as this was not unusual to hear such strange and cryptic information, "I see, avoid Allycard."

"Yes, it is in the best interest of your health Gerald," Angelica paused. "And do have a safe night."

"Oh course and you too, Miss Black..."

Angel waited about ten minutes and used the time to research the location. Her left hand fingers tapped on the table as she read. Old colonial house plus the Revolutionary war would equal some possible spirit occupancy. Now what caused the spirit to become so upset?
