I whistle for Miia to come back.An soon her heavy paw beats sprint to me.She slides to a stop in front of me and I pet her face.I knell an hug her neck,sobbing.She whines and seemed to hug me back."Easy Girl."I mumble.She whines again.I stand up and walk to our old home.On beltway 96.Out where the memories of my family were strongest.

I wander down the abandoned the apartment building and find my door.I cut up a section wear the key was placed and unlock the door.Miia runs in and jumps on her green sofa."Home sweet Home."I mumble sarcastic.I set our supplies down and my brothers bag comes with me to our parents bed room.I empty out his bag and store it with my parents.His uniform I hang with my parents also.His cap I hold on to.I grip his black leather combat boots and set them against the bed.Money added to our savings in he supplies bag.I then skim through the closet finding my funeral dress,now three sizes to small.My moms was just about my size but I decided against it.By the end of the day I couldn't find anything.Nothing to throw together last minute.Whining came from Miia.We haven't eaten in about two days.I decided to take us to a fancy restraint called El Cantina.I knock on the back door.Moments pass and the chief Manuel opens the door.Looking behind him then handing us the plates and then shutting the door."He wasn't allowed to give free food away so I understood the principles of his rudeness at times.I never really liked help from anyone but sometimes I had no other choice.After eating we look around the city and search for a funeral dress or uniform.I searched till about dusk and returned to the apartment.

I turn into my hallway and see a black box with a dark blue ribbon was placed in front of my door.Miia smells it and looks to me.'Clean'.I open the card.

Dear Scarlet,
I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your brother James.He was a great soldier who fought for the lives of your and my county.I send you this gift so you can wish him goodbye...
Sincerely Sir Integra Fairbrooks Wingates HellSing

Integra who's that?

Taking the box indoors and walking to the bathroom,I decide to clean myself of filth or grim I've collected in some months.I turn the warm knob,nothing then I turn the cold water as it squirts to life.Better than nothing I suppose.Under the sink my tooth brush and other hair items.An some hair dye.I take a cold shower and decide to dye my blonde shoulder length hair to a black.My hair a blonde unlike my family who all have black hair,I was the odd man out.My grey eyes were odd to,they had greens and blues.
After I finish dying my hair I open the box from Integra and see a dress that stops under my knees.The sleeves are long and make a V at my wrists.A V neck dress and nylon hosiery.A pair of flats.Miia would wear a collar in the box,with her name Engraved into the metal plate.
I would go to the graveyard tomorrow.So I wish this day good night.
