A Kiss as Cold as Death
Chapter 4
For love of a Broken Heart
Alucard looked over at Sir Integral and grinned his maddening grin. The one that always made her want to either slap him or laugh. “So,” She said slowly, hoping he would give her a straight answer this time. “Who is this girl? I saw you dispatch those two freaks that tried to abscond her. Sorry they were not as fun as Incognito for you. Perhaps the next bunch will be more amusing.”
“ Something needs to be done to make sure this stops. One day I may not be bored.” Alucard strolled from the room and headed out for the night.
“Humph, 221; Integral pricked up her dinner and swirled it around in it's etched crystal goblet. “So you were out that night, because you were bored, or were you watching that girl?” Sir integral brought the goblet to her lips as she smirked at Alucard's fading figure.

&nb sp;Brittney had been in her room writing when Alek entered carrying a large tray with food. “You know,” he said as he sat the tray down. “You can't hide in here forever. I'm sure it was just some freak testing some new way to mug people. Although the cop in the red coat was something to look at.” That last comment captured Brittney's attention. She knew there was something that reminded her of James. Oh how she missed him.
“I'm not hiding really, I'm writing a letter to my friends in the states. James has sent me twenty emails saying I'm a bad friend for abandoning them and not keeping in touch.” Brittany grinned. “Although when he did a semester abroad, it took me forever to get a hold of him.”
“When do you start work?” Alek asked, “you are so lucky to have a job at the newspaper, I wish my school had connections like that when I graduated.”
Britt ney added the finishing touches on the letter and picked up her fork “Next Monday, what is this?”
“My version of an Italian perogi,” Alex slipped his finger into her plate and licked the sauce. “How about we take this downstairs?” Brittney grinned and followed Alex from the room, carrying the tray of French done over Italian pasta. ********
Alucard materialized in the room and picked up the letter and began to read.
: " It feels like I am stuck in a bad dream. I know the guy in the red coat was one of them. I know you said that my reasons for coming here were to find Brendan. It's not true. Brendan contacted me again after the episode into the woods, he said he felt like his skin was stretching in too many different directions and that he was going to sleep for a while. So I know that I will not be seeing him again for awhile. If ever again in my life time.
James I don't understand what is going on. I feel so lost. Why do I seem to be targeted from every different angle? I wish you were here with me. I know it may seem cowardly, but I had to leave. Running from Thomas may not have been a well thought out plan, but it was the only way. I could not stand to be so near him. You would love my roomates. They are hilarious. Jade is kind and has a great sense of humour. Sharon's style would cause you to go blind but she is fun. Now Alek, well you may be interested to know more about him on a one on one basis.
Perhaps one day I will be happy, until then... I don't know. After all I have been through, I wonder, Is it the fault of the men, or something in me? I love you. Britt.
Alucard replaced the letter and sat down on the bed. He looked at the little knick knacks that she had added to Alek's design. Two porcelain kittens caught his eye. They were ordinary as porcelain goes with jewel bright green eyes. But her scent was strong upon them as if she must have stroked their cold heads many times before. He picked up one of the kittens studied it closer. With a smile he replaced the figure and picked up a book that had been lying on the bed.
“A large tome for bedside reading.” He said as he flipped the book over and frowned. The new testament, and it was all in ancient Greek. “Hmmm, quite a learned little lady.” Alucard placed the book on the table beside the bed. *******
Seras watched Alucard as he watched the girl. Lately he seemed to be doing more than baby sitting. He seemed to be studying the girl. Seras moved over to the tree branch Alucard usually satin when he watched the girl. He even watched her sleep. She saw him as he went about the room touching bits of this and that. Picking up and sniffing some items and laughing as he looked at a pair of socks that had bright pink kittens on them.
She did not recall ever seeing him so interested in anything, nor had she seen him laugh so openly. Why was this girl able to enchant him so? Who was her family that they could so easily ask The Hellsing Organization for a favor. “I'm sure that Alucard can handle this mission on his own,” Seras looked up to find Sir Integral beside her in the tree.
“Why are you here then?” Seras asked as Sir Integral stood in the tree and jumped nimbly down to the ground. Seras quickly followed suit.
“Feeling impertinant tonight?” Sir Integral arched a well sculpted brow. “I came here, unlike you, to find my own answers about this girl, not to spy on Alucard.” Sir integral looked at the house one more time before vanishing into the night. “Since her room is already occupied....” Seras was alone on the street. *****
Brittney was laughing as she entered her room. Alek was insane she was sure. He kept showing her odd pictures on his computer and making the little creatures dance. Brittney's smile vanished as she got a good look at her room. Someone had been there. Boots, her porcelain Kitten had been turned nearly all the way around. And her bible was on the night table, she was positive that she had left it on the bed. Brittney ran to the window and threw it open. “Brendan,” She said as she searched the tree for anyone or anything that could possibly move. Seeing nothing she shivered and closed the window before getting ready for bed. She blew out her ever burning candles and snuggled beneath the covers feeling colder now than she had in years. ********
“Ja mes and Brendan and Thomas. Who are these men that you seem to care so much about? And fear? And despise.?” Alucard lifted a lock of her hair and ran it though his white gloved hand. “Well, I will definitely protect you. Saint Germaine sure has a funny way of talking to an old friend.”
“ Something needs to be done to make sure this stops. One day I may not be bored.” Alucard strolled from the room and headed out for the night.
