A Kiss as Cold as Death
Chapter 3
To Rescue the Fair Damsel
Brittney opened her eyes and blinked at the brightness in her room. One addition to Alek's design was definitely going to be curtains. She was almost excited. Today was the day when the Happy Trio, as she had termed her new roommates, were going to show her London. She felt as if she had seen it already; Brendan had described it so well.
“And then around Christmas time, we have to take her to Ireland so she can meet my family and naturally she'll love France in the spring. Oh, I'm so glad she's here with... Oh you're awake and I was so looking forward to a glomp.” Sharon paused when she noticed that Brittney was awake.
“What's a glomp?” Brittney looked up at Sharon and Alek who were standing over her prostrate form. Sharon was as usual dressed in a bright array of abundant cloth and color. Today's assortment happened to be a bright orange ankle length skirt with the odd pairing of a long sleeved fitted yellow shirt and a sheer lime green shirt over it. There was a matching green scarf around her waist and a neon orange scarf kept her bright hair away from her face. She looked like a mix between a fairy and a gypsy.
“Alek made some American flapjacks and scrambled eggs and a pot of coffee.” Sharon's exuberance was almost contagious. Brittney sat up quickly and reached for her bathrobe. Alex was as stylish as usual. He wore a red pant suit and a black blazer He plucked an imaginary piece of lint from his shoulder.
Brittney grinned. “Wow thanks, but I don't like coffee. The pancakes sound wonderful if you used half as much skill as you did the other night with the pasta. Where's Jade?”
“Sho wer.” Alek said, “Come on we'll feed you first.” Brittney grinned and followed the pair from her room. Living here was going to be great.

A full moon glowed pale in the deep of the dark night. Alucard smiled as he saw the quartet bounce down the street. So they were off to the night club. Ah the joy of youth. “Seras, head in to that night club and keep an eye on them. And no matter how tempting it may be, you are not to taste that girl.”
“But Master, I only eat medical blood, you know that.” Seras said with a frown for her master who simply gave her an odd look before wafting away.
“Remember my words, police girl,” His warning seemed to hang in her mind as Seras made her way to the Hot Spot, as the club was named. Inside it seemed as if the place was filled from corner to corner with bodies packed in, some trying to yell over the music, others trying not to spill drinks and still others attempting to dance in the crowded space. Seras found her quarry trying to find her way to the bathroom. It was not difficult to keep an eye on her, the guy clinging to her arm was wearing a red suit. But something more caught Seras' attention: the girl smelled delicious. Seras' canines grew of their own provocation as she took an involuntary step towards the girl.
“I wonder how Alucard will appreciate insubordination, or you weren't going to disobey orders.”
“S ir Integral, sorry, I couldn't seem to help myself.” Seras said as she pulled herself together and backed away from the unsuspecting American. “Did he send you here to watch her too?”
Sir Integral's eyes were red slits as she turned to glare at Seras, “What fool do you know who would have the nerve to send me any where? I am here of my own volition to see if he was right about her affect on other vampires. She does smell good. Unlike you, I am not a servant of Alucard. I drank from him and gladly received my freedom.” With those last disparaging words Sir Integral was gone.

The dance floor was very difficult to traverse, but somehow Sharon managed to wiggle the four of them into a great spot in the middle near the speakers that were perched on stands near the ceiling. Brittney was silently glad that Sharon had gone home to change, she would have been highly conspicuous in her brightly colored getup of earlier. Not that the lilac and black pantsuit was any better, but it was still less conspicuous. `And what are you hiding from?' a nagging voice asked in the back of her mind. With grim determination to enjoy herself, Brittney ignored it.

&n bsp;“I'm so exhausted,” Brittney said as she draped her arm around Alek's shoulder to support her weight. “Sheesh Jade, did you have to park so far away?” Brittney complained.
“Told you I smelled it,” came a rough voice from behind them.
“Aye and you were right. An ancient for sure. Hey girlie, who's your sire?” A large hand grabbed Brittney away from Alek and leered into her face.
“Let me go... I don't know what you are talking about.” Brittney tried to shove away from the cold fingers biting into her arms.
“Who do you think you are? Get your crummy fingers off of her.” Alek stepped forward and was held back by the attacker's partner.
“Well, now isn't this an interesting bit of enjoyment,” came a calm deep voice that seemed to float through yards of red cloth that made it's way slowly into view. “Scum like you are usually in hiding this close to dawn. Dare I inquire about your reasons for absconding this delicate flower?” Brittney and Alek were released as the two backed away from their rescuer. Jade and Sharon immediately pulled them to the car and sped away.
“Who do you think you are?” The bolder of the two pulled his coat aside and pulled out an automatic weapon. He emptied the machine into him.
“Now really,” Alucard smiled as he replaced his head. “You knew something was up, that's why you backed away. An original such as I could never be killed by such foul toys,” Alucard pulled out is Silver gun and fired two shots. “Humph.” He frowned and drifted away as the sun rose.
