Chapter 39: Already Checked Out





It took a while, but Anderson finally got the Vampire to let him take Candy to see a doctor. They had come to an agreement that he could take her so long as Walter went as well to make sure nothing happend. He would have gone with them, but he had to check on Maxwell and try to get more information from him.

Candy was a bit upset that she wasn't able to celebrate Christmas like she usually did. Things were just too hectic. She glanced over at the old buttler and her friend with a sigh. Joy. That's all she needed right now, someone else to watch her get poked and proded at. She rolled her eyes at the thought before huffing in annoyance as a nurse called her in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alucard opend the cell door to find Maxwell sitting in a small room, just big enough for him to lay down. He was filthy, naked, dehydrated and starved. He jumped as the door opend and shut his eyes against the bright light from the hallway as the Vampire grabbed him up and hauled him off to another room. The hall was lit only by a few torches hung on the walls, but Maxwell had been locked in that room, with absolutely no light for what seemed like weeks. He thought he would go insaine if left in there any longer.The screams from the other prisoners was deffining as he was used to the complete silence of the other room. Even the Monster's foot steps sounded like thunder echoing off the ancient stone.

He set the man down in a chair and tied his arms and legs to it before leaving him with the horrid sounds and smells from the Monster's other victums. It wasn't long before he returned with a plate of food, a wine bottle and glass. He set the food down on a small table next to Maxwell and pulled over a chair to sit in before pouring a glass of wine.

Maxwell was staring at the steak as though he hadn't seen food in years, then watched as the wine was poured, his mouth watering as it sloshed into the glass. He watched with fasination as the Vampire cut into the steak, blood oosing out, showing just how rare it was, but he didn't care, he would eat it even if it was still mooing, he was so hungry. He watched as the fork was stuck into the meat and lifted teasingly close to his mouth, just out of reach.

Alucard chuckled as he watched the pathetic excuse for a priest try to stretch to get the food, reaching his toung out to try and just get a small taste, but it was just a few milimeters too far. "Tell me what I want to know and I'll give you some." He said before poping the piece into his own mouth, taking his time to chew it and savor the taste.

His eyes were huge as his gaze was fixated on the Vampire's mouth, wanting that piece of food so badly. He didn't care that it had already been in the Monster's mouth, he wanted it.

Alucard swallowed it down before taking a sip of wine and posed his first question; "What were you planning on doing with her once the experiments were over?" He was already cutting the next piece of steak.

"Same as Anderson..." He managed to croak out of his dry throat. Alucard nodded in understanding of what he meant and gave him a small drink of wine so he could speak and answer his questions better.

"What do you know of her Grandfather, Damien?" The priest's mouth shut tight, refusing to speak on the man. Alucard just shrugged it off and ate another piece of steak and drank his wine. If he wouldn't answer, he would watch him eat and enjoy the food he so desperately needed.

It was an effective technique, the priest quickly gave up and offered information. "Abraham used him in some experiments! He worked for a construction company that was run by the Queen's brother!" He gratfully took the small piece of meat and savored it as long as he could and did the same with the wine.

"What kind of experiments?" "Don't know." Alucard shook his head, showing that he knew the man was lieing. "He was a Damphere.. Half Vampire!" Alucard's eyebrow raised in disbelief. He had heard rumors of Damphere, but they were just that; rumors. Weren't they? "It's true! He was! How else would you explain Anderson being a Regenerator? We tried for centuries to make a Human into something like him, but all the experiments failed until we got a hold of him, it just took a bit of testing and some drugs and he became our first success!" He said quickly, staring at the food expectantly. "We tried to use his blood to turn Humans into regenerators, but it just turned them into Gouls.."

It did make sense. That would mean that Candy was already part Vampire to begin with, their experiments only brought out more of that part of her. That's why she didn't turn when she drank his blood. Why she was never really sick. He gave the man another small piece of food and sip of wine.

"Why would Anderson be so concerned with taking her to see a doctor?" He received an odd look from the prisoner. He didn't want to say that he didn't know or he might not get fed, so he tried to come up with some answer. "Because he's over protective?" He looked hopefull that the answer might apease the Monster and was rewarded with another bite and drink.

"Why is there no mention of this Damien in any of Abraham's journals?" "The journal with that information is at the Vatican. In the library - top shelf, second floor, in the very back." Alucard hummed in thought before untieing the man and draging him back to his cell. He left the slit in the door open so some light could get in and left, returning shortly with the remainder of the steak. "Good boy." He smiled evily at the priest and tossed the steak to the dirty floor, locked the cell door and left. He had to visit the Vatican's library and check out a book.

Maxwell pounced on the piece of meat the moment it hit the ground. He tried to catch it, but was too slow. He didn't want it to touch the floor that was covered in his own bodily waste. Oh well, at least it wasn't someone elses.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alucard arived at the Vatican within minutes and stopped the first person he saw, a nun, to ask how to get to the library. She was a very kind old woman and showed him the way, not suspecting for a moment that he wasn't Human. He thanked her once the library was in sight and let her go on her way. She was more than happy to help such a handsome young man and left with a "God bless, Son." His sweet smile turned to a look of disgust the moment her back was turned. The only thing God had ever blessed him with was pain and misery.

He went straight up the ornate staircase and to the back of the library where Maxwell had said the book was. He stopped. There were very few books and scrolls left on the bookcases back here. It looked as though someone had raided it, looking for information. He went ahead and checked the few books left just incase the journal happend to be there, but as his luck would have it, there was no sign of it. "Goddamn it!" He cursed aloud, causing the few people in the library to gasp and stare at him. He didn't pay them any mind and opend a portal back home leaving the Humans at the ancient church to run screaming.

When he returned to the mansion, he found Candy making her way down the halls of the basement, humming a tune as she ate some chocolate. Anderson and Walter must have taken her by the candy store. She smiled brightly when she saw him step out of the portal and bounced over to give him a hug. "Perfect timeing! I was just coming to see you!"

He smiled down at her, she was so cute. "Any particular reason you wanted to see me?" She shook her head, "Do I need a reason to see the man I love?" He chuckled softly and gave her a kiss, stealing the piece of chocolate from her mouth in the prosess. "Love you too." He said around the piece of candy and went to open the door to Maxwell's cell before she even noticed her candy was gone.

"Jerk." She grumbled as she crossed her arms and leaned against the wall in mock anger.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maxwell jumped as he heard voices in the hall. It was the Monster and his Bitch. He moved back against the wall as the door opend to reveal an angry Vampire. What did he want now?

"It wasn't there." His eyes grew huge in shock and fear. "It was there last time I visited the library, I swear!"

Candy poked her head around the Vampire to see the priest before asking, "What wasn't where?" She wrinkled her nose at the smell and backed up back into the hallway. "A book with information in it on Vampires." He didn't want her to know he was looking into her family history, she seemed pretty sensitive about it and didn't want to upset her any.

"Maybe it's here? Father Anderson borrowed a bunch of old books and scrolls from the Vatican's library a couple of days ago." She offered before poping another piece of chocolate into her mouth. "What?" She asked as both Alucard and Maxwell gave her a funny look.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anderson jumped as the library doors flew open and Alucard started looking through the books he'd gotten from the Vatican. "Wat are ye lookin' for?" "A book." He gave the Vampire a funny look at the cliped answer.

"Wat book are ye lookin' for? Maybe I can help?" He offered, a bit unsure as the other man dug almost frantically through a stack of books. "A journal."

He sighed, getting a bit annoyed at the answers he was getting. "Who's journal? There's several." "Abraham's."

"Well, why didn't ye say so? I was just about to start readin' it." He held the book up and Alucard snatched it from his hand with a small "Thanks." and ploped himself down on the couch to start reading.

The priest sighed and shook his head, picking up another book to read. "Let me know if there's anythin' interestin' in there when yer done." He received a small, disinterested grunt in reply and started to read his own book.








AN: Well, Questions are being answered and tings are starting to fall in place. It will be a while until the next chapter because we have to update Abraham Von Hellsing's Journals. No, the missing book will not be there! We will skip Book 3 and only show it here! Hah! You get to read the books in the same order as our characters!

Alucard: "I think you've given away too many clues about what is going to happen."
Cat: "I know.. But I couldn't think of anything else to write!"
Alucard: "More torture?" looks hopeful
Cat: "I think our readers are tired of that."
Alucard: "Damn it."
