Heart of a Solider(Completed)

Chapter 21

-Past- -Ghost-
I was turning 16 in a few weeks.I didn't think it was necessary to tell Sir that.After all I've only been here for three months.

It was around midnight when Walter asked me to class.Sir Integra insisted that I have some formalities and knowledge as a Captain.

It was a three day schedule.

Monday was Fine Arts and Math

Tuesday was History and Paranormal Studies

Friday was Foreign Language and English

Alucard was a mentor as well.

He only had me on Wednesdays and Sunday

Wednesday was combat and weaponry training

Saturday was when he helped with homework.

The Great Vlad the Impaler helping a measly human with homework.

I was working on Roman language and I could perfect the accent,I sound British not Roman.

For some reason I felt I was being watched.

I turn around and see the Man Cloaked in Red.He was smiling to me.

"Oh hi."I say looking back to the books.

"I was in my stealth yet you could feel me,very good.Your skills are certainly improving."He said sitting down beside me.

I only move my eyes to face him."I see."I sigh trying to pronounce the Roman pro-verb.

"Balti-moré."I try pronouncing.A yea at the end.

Alucard used his long slender fingers and pushed my chin up,then he put a hand over my stomach.

"Use more of your stomach."He said.

'That's right,he was born in Rome.'

"Alright."I say.

We continued on my speech and then I had to finish my math homework.

"If you eat 13 pieces of pizza in three minutes,how many in 12?"I say

"Math must be so difficult."He said.

I nod."It is,especially when Calculus gets involved."

He leans over and try's to read the problem.He blinked at it confused.

"You don't know how to work it do you?"I ask him.

"Of course I do."He said crossing his arms and slightly turning his body.His chin up high.

-Walter-

It was about 11:30 and I was going to check on Ghost.To see if she needed help with her homework.

"Okay if let's just say you kill 13 ghouls in 3 minutes how many in 12?What you do is,"I look into the room and see Ghost teaching Alucard,the blood thirsty vampire Math.

I didn't listen to the conversation but I did however watch them converse and help each other out.

It was rather different however it was a sight to say the least.

-Integra-

I read through Ghost's file,her 16 birthday in a few weeks.

Five foster homes.

Psychologist's have written that she believes a Demon named Saber watched over her as a young infant,an she was asked by Demons to be their wife.

Her foster families always seemed to abandon her once the third day passes.

I look to my desk clock.5:56am.

My office door was opened and Walter stepped in.

"Walter your still up?"I question

"Look at this I think you'll find it rather enjoyable."He whispered just enough for me to her.

I nod and follow him to the library.

An what I saw was the most unusual thing.Alucard was carrying Ghost in his arms,an he was walking towards us.

She was asleep and smiling a pleasant smile.

He looked to me and looked to her."I wasn't aware that,"I rose my hand and silenced him.

"She is content and you are her mentor,I don't mind the occasional sleep mornings.Get her to bed,she's had a long night."

He nodded his head once.

Walter and I stepped into the Library.All of her homework that was due in three weeks was completed.

-Alucard-

Ghost was a truly interesting human.Her ways of teaching and the way she could somehow make me enjoy something like Math is quite dumbfounding.

I really believe we could be closer than this but yet she's still to young.

After I tuck her into bed I look to her sleeping figure.

So calm and at peace almost.I lean down and smell her hair.Then I kiss her forehead.

Why I did not a clue.However it felt so natural.

"Night."
