The Mansion

Chapter 6. Visitors

At the House Black's main gate, a large group of bats had begun to gather, forming the body of the man who moments earlier stood at Lady Hellsing's office. Behind him, appeared a young woman, dressed in a light-greenish brown uniform, with short yellowish orange hair and large blue eyes. This place hasn't changed at all Alucard thought as he looked at the building beyond the iron gates No wonder that girl still lives here.

"Let's go, Police" He said.

"Yes, Master." She answered.

The man approached the gates, which opened immediately, letting them in. He kept walking, followed by the woman, who looked around jumping at every movement from within the Northern Woods, until they reached the main door.

"Master" called the woman, Alucard stopped. "What are we here for?"

"Fulfilling orders" The black haired answered as they approached the wooden door, which appeared to open by itself, and then close on its own when they walked in. The manor was pitch black, as most were still asleep. He nodded at the figure at the end of the hall, a woman glowing in green, dressed in eternally flowing clothes, her skin and hair always held a bluish green hue to them. "Stay here, Police."

"I'm not Police, Master. I'm Victoria Seras." The blonde pouted taking the weapon firmly.

Ignoring her comment, Alucard followed the glowing figure through the corridor, and opened the door behind which she stopped. Inside, he found a pale man, human, as the Un-Dead could easily see, dressed in a plain white shirt and jeans, sitting oddly on the floor while observing the corpse lying in the middle of the room. His eyes narrowed as he recognized the man on the floor. After visiting so many times before then, and the meetings at the Hellsing's HQs, it was difficult not to remember him. The young man lifted his head finally, a messy mass of black hair, and looked at Alucard with... was that curiosity the vampire saw in that mortal's eyes?

"Who are you?" The man asked, his black coloured eyes fixed on him.

"Hellsing Organization" Alucard was not about to give his name to a stranger, be it Integra's friend or not. "We were sent here by our master, before she arrives."

"How many of you did she send?"

"I am not authorized to answer" He smiled.

"Hmmm... Is Miss Hellsing on her way here?"

"We expect her to be here by dawn."

"You shall proceed, then."

Alucard turned around, and went out of the office. The glowing woman was not there anymore. He approached the younger vampire, who let out a shriek as she noticed his presence, and covered her mouth.

"Careful, Police." He warned her "You might wake someone up." Victoria glared at her master's amber eyes, mumbling something intelligible as she was being hushed. The black haired uncovered her mouth. "Well then, we should go outside."

"Yes, Master." The blond said, following him back into the gardens, as her Master passed through the wall, she had to open the door.

As she looked around, he noticed Alucard had disappeared into the darkness of the forest outside, Victoria sighed, wondering how long would it take for her to find him again. Until she looked up and saw his longcoat, flowing with the breeze, crawling onto the wall, the black haired had stopped at the second floor, next to a window. The woman turned around, and started walking through the gardens. No lights were on in this part, so the only light came from the bluish silver moonlight rays, which made the forest seem enchanted Or haunted thought the blonde as she walked deeper into the woods.
