Heart of a Solider(Completed)

Chapter Twelve

What really defines death is when one heart stops beating,when the soul is gone.I opened my eyes to see I was in a at home hospital.Fluids being pumped into my blood stream.I try to sit up but my chest was on fire and I felt like a beaten man.I cough slightly trying to get some air."Your up."Said a cool and even tone.Integra,Sir Integra.

"How do you feel?"She asked."Sore,my chest is burning other than that.Alone."I say truthfully.She smiled."Your not alone,anymore at least."I smile back."I know."I reply."So what is your name,my servant never specified."She then asked."Gabby,but my friends call me Ghost."I reply."Ghost any particular reason your named that?"She asks."Well I have five names from being in the foster system the first letter in each name spells Ghost."I state.She thinks for a few moments."You want to know what I am don't you?"I ask.She looked to me interested."How'd you know?"She asked.I smile to her."Lets just say I seem to read you facials."I reply knowing when this Sir has a question to ask.She nods as in for me to continue."Well were to start,I'm a spiritualist one who purifies the underworlds,and rider to the Red Mare."I state."The Red Mare,one to be ridden by only one soul correct?"She asks.I nod and continue the explanation.

At about 9:00 Integra had to leave for work."Integra?"I call out."Yes?"She replies."I wish to speak Alucard,and if he agrees warn him if he wakes me up.Back a few feet."I say.She smiles lightly."I'll try,but no promises."She said.I close my eyes and sleep.

I felt someone watching me.

I open my eyes and see the No Life King siting in a chair on the other side of the room.

"You came."I state out loud with a smile in place.

"Yes well,if someone besides you kicked a maggots ass you'd wonder why to."He replied.

I chuckle and nod."True."

He smiled to me."So why did you want to see me?"He asked.

I blush lightly,to faint for him to see."Well I,uh,figured seeing as how I'm going to ask your master if I can stay,I'd figure getting to know you better would helps."I reply.

He smiles at me again,stands up.Walks to the hospital bed,removes his glasses and hat,then sits."20 questions?"He asks.

"20q."I reply sitting up as much as I could without it hurting.

"You first."I state.

"What's the deal with the mark on your chest?"He asks.

"Someone said,that if the Red Mare loves her rider so much that when she passes she merges her soul into her master.So the rider can continue assisting the spirits and other creatures who need help."I reply holding my hand over the blood red horse shoe tattoo.

I think of a question.One I've always wanted to ask."What's your favorite punch line."I ask.

He then laughs and cackles."That's what you've always wanted to ask me?"He asks.

"You were reading my mind you jerk!"I exclaim playfully.

He nodded."Don't have one."I mentally growl.

"What's your real eye color?"He then asks.

I look away from him."You won't approve."I state quietly.

He put a hand over mine."Try me."

I take out my contacts and throw them away,closing my eyes and facing him."Ready?"I ask.

"Go for it."He said.

I open and I could see the admiration in his eyes.

"A omen,not very many around know a days."He said.

"Yes,sadly."I mutter.

"Why do you trust me?"He then asks.

I take of my necklace with the guitar picks and hand it to him.He spots himself easy."Why even ask any questions if you already know the answers?"He asks.

"The ones I'm asking help me build a more stable friendship with you."I then reply.

His smile feel."Get some rest you have training tomorrow."He said standing awkwardly and leaving.

"GoodNight Alucard."
