Sands of Time (Hellsing•AU)

Bit of a Circus (25)

•Bad Humor

Lilly got up at nine and made some breakfast, good ol' American Steak and eggs, with a twist, Scottish pancakes. She left the door open for Moddey to come and go. He just seemed satisfied, to lay on the couch, with his head hanging off the couch slightly.

Alucard would have to leave soon but he stayed as long as he could. He did have similar disillusions, with the late David's, see -through windows. If Lilly stayed here, Alucard was going to make sure there was something, other than an 8 foot privacy wall.

After breakfast, dishes and a shower, Lilly was dressed for the meeting. She had a turquoise green cotton top that was open in the back. It was like a halter top but went just down past, the top of her hips. The broomstick skirt was southwestern in pattern and topped off with boots that would go with the outfit.

She went and grabbed her Indy Jones bag and started emptying it out. Moddey Dhoo lifted his head  and then tilted it. There simply wasn't enough space for the bag, to contain so much 'stuff'. At this point, what seemed to be a baby rabbit, came crawling out of the bag.

Alucard, got off the couch and over to the table. What the hell was a rabbit doing in the bag?

He shoved his head on the table and thought about eating it. He was a vampire in disguise and it was just a predator thing. His tongue lolled out of his mouth, to scoop the little harmless thing, when he heard a growl.  The now, bouncing puff of fur latched onto his tongue. The rabbit had bit him!

Oh it was so dead now!

He snapped at it only to discover it had faery wings. It flew up and on to the light in the kitchen and then stared menacingly at Alucard/Moddey Dhoo. It made another growl and turned to show only its butt. 

Flying rabbits?

What else is in that bag?

He put his front paws on the glass dining table. 'Yep, I think Lily had an item that shouldn't exist' Alucard thought.  Alchemists called them dimensional pockets. In a bag that opened into a dimensional room and depending on the size, depended how much 'stuff' could be stored.   His attention went from the bag to some old, very old letters. He recognized them right away. They were addressed to a Ylva from him. They were love letters, for when he was gone for short periods of time, at war.

'I now remember you Ylva Viken…' Alucard thought.

He pushed the letters around and found something else. It was a letter from his first bride and Gregory the vizier.  His eyes glowed an angry red!

How had he forgotten she was a traitor!

Ylva had murdered his first bride and though a slimy sort, Gregory was functional at his post.

'Just wait until you get to Hellsing, I will show you what the treatment traitors deserve!' the Vampire King angrily mused in his mind.

" Moddey get out of that stuff! Bad dog!" Lilly yelled and as if to chime in, the flying rabbit chirped a squeaky noise, and then flew to land on the young woman's shoulder. It scratched and crawled down and finally into her top.

"And Torstein! You are a bad wolpertinger! I will take you back to that Bavarian forest in which I found you! Come out of my shirt!"  Lilly shouts with great irritation.   Torstein has sharp toe nails.

(Author's notes: A wolpertinger is a flying rabbit with antlers and can be caught by large bosomed young women on full moons by lakes. Can we say a story for horny Germans,Peeping Toms, and breasts).

The flying circus was ended with a knock on the front door. Lilly looked at her watch and figured it was Walter, from Hellsing, to pick her up. He was early for some reason.  She yelled she would open the door in a minute. Lillia shoved all the "stuff" back into the bag and ran to the door. Torstein crawled down her shoulder and went back in the bag too. Lilly opened the door to a handsome older gentleman. He had greying hair pulled back and dressed as a butler.

"Miss Steiger, Sir Integra Hellsing would like you to come a little early today. Perhaps have lunch with her?" Walter bows now.

"Yes of course Walter, let me grab a coat and I am ready."  Lilly responded politely.

She pulled a brown suede jacket from a hook. At that moment, Moddey Dhoo decided to investigate Walter. The signature "woof" could be heard and Walter, usually steady hands, did jump a little. Moddey then did a maniacal grin which is really creepy, on a dog.

"Shouldn't you be back at Hellsing, by now Moddey?"  Walter asked with a raised eyebrow over the monocle.

The dog just shook itself and went out the door.

Lilly locked the back door and closed the front. She followed Walter to a stretch limo. He opened the door and Lilly stepped in. The drive was pretty, the sun was shining and the all smells that go with that kind of day.  Lilly shifted seats,  so she could ride next to the butlerspeak with Walter.

"Walter does Sir Hellsing have horses?"

"Why yes she does Miss Steiger," Walter smiled.  "I'm sure some time can be put aside, if you wish to ride, one of the horses."

"Thank you, it has been awhile since I rode a horse. They help me to relax," as Lilly's voice trailed off.

"If I may say, the Hellsing household is sorry to hear about your friend, David's death."

"Thank you again Walter…"

"Chaos does not mean total disorder. Chaos means a multiplicity of possibilities. Chaos is from the ancient Greek words that means a thing that is birthed from the void. And it was about that which is possible, not about disorder."
