Dark Intentions

Chapter 2



A day had passed since the end of World War III, and almost immediately the remaining citizens of London started to clean up the city that had been brought down to it\'s knees. The Queen had addressed the people with a strong speech initially telling them that London would stand tall once again. The day before had been a completely different scene. Not a soul was walking the streets except for the emergency personal rescuing civilians from trapped places. Many averted their eyes as soon as they came upon the bodies of innocent people, and those impaled. Soon enough when the man power was available the bodies were gathered up. Some commented on how they were surprised that there was not a single drop of blood left. Back at the mansion Seras, and the Wild Geese started to board up the broken windows. Meanwhile Integra looked inside her desk to make sure that all of her notes were still intact. She looked inside the library on the second floor to make sure all the family books were safe. There was a good number of them knocked off onto the carpet floor from their oak shelves, but they were generally unharmed. Eventually she made her way down to the family archives in the sublevels, and found that everything was in it\'s proper place. It was a sleepless night as everyone at the Hellsing Mansion was on guard, and cleaned up.



However, today had a bit of a less morbid feeling to it as things started to get back to what was normal at the Hellsing Mansion. Outside the Wild Geese were back to their usual training while Seras had to pull double duty as their trainer, and as Integra\'s butler after she had rested. As soon as she woke up from her sleep Seras went about her regular routine as if nothing had happened. She got prepared for work, and went outside to meet with the remaining troops. Everything was running smoothly, and when a comment was made it was in her head. It was then that it occurred to her that things would be different from now on in a way. No longer would she be arguing with the Captain in front of her, but instead he was inside her mind. Which was even worse for her when he started singing his Eskimo song.



I don\'t know what I\'ve been told Eskimo,...Seras cut him off before he could finish the rest though.



Ah!! Pip stop singing that perverted song! I really don\'t want to hear it right now, or any other time.



Pip then started to pout. Aw, but it\'s a good song I like it. So he continued. Tastes so good! Mighty good!



If you continue singing that song Pip then I\'ll shoot myself in the head to make you stop.



Awww you\'re no fun Mignonette, he said as he continued to pout. I\'ll stop singing mon cher.



Thank you. With that Seras sighed in relief, and started to go inside the house to check up on Integra. After only about 2 minutes of silence Captain Bernadotte started to hum the rest of the song. Gah! I said stop singing that depraved song already!



The leader herself was in her office standing at the window looking over at where the men were practicing their maneuvers. She wasn\'t sure if she was hearing things, but she could have sword she hear a loud slap. However, as quickly as the thought came it was dismissed for a new one. There was one thing out of place that was beginning to bother Integra.



Damn it where is Walter with my tea? It is nearly eight o\'clock at night, and I have yet to receive my tea for the day. After a few moments she corrected herself. No that\'s not right Integra. Walter can no longer bring tea, or give advice when I need it anymore. He\'s gone. It\'s up to Seras now to do his job.



As if on cue Seras Victoria knocked on the door bringing Integra back into the present world.



“You may Enter.”



One of the doors opened up with Seras pushing it with her back as she came into the office with a tray of tea, and letters in hand. When Integra had heard the tray being set down she turned away from the window, and went towards her desk. Then she sat down in her high back leather chair with her legs crossed as she reached for the tea. Immediately Integra could tell from the color, and the smell that it was Yerba mate herbal tea.



“Good evening Seras. What is your report?” Integra asked before taking a sip of her tea.



Seras stood at attention, and saluted her master. “Sir Integra the troops are doing well as always. Their aim on far away targets is improving.”



“Excellent.” She set the cup back on the plate. “I want them to be prepared for their first mission when we start receiving them. How have the men been dealing with what happened with Millennium?”



“Better than I thought Sir. Some are a bit still shaken from Zorin\'s attack, but the others assured me it\'s normal after a war. If it\'s not to bold of me to ask, how is your eye Sir Integra?”



“I may lose it completely Seras.” Silence filled the room for what seemed like hours when Integra spoke again. “Who are the letters from?”



The Draculina blinked a couple of times before picking them up to set before Integra. “Oh right. One is from Sir Islands, and the other is from Her Majesty.” It\'s good to see she\'s still the same as always.



“I see. You\'re dismissed Seras. That will be all for tonight.”



“Yes Sir Integra.” Seras turned on her heels, and went out the door after giving another quick salute.



Integra picked up both letters, and decided to read The Queen\'s first. So she made herself comfortable, graped the cup of mate tea, and started to read. She just skimmed the entire letter looking for keypoints in it. The Queen had expressed her appreciation for what Integra, and the Hellsing Organization had done. They were to be treated as heroes, and some objects from the war were to be placed in a new display at the Imperial War Museum. One such object that caught her interest was Elena\'s Nail. She smirked at how Iscariot would be fighting to get it back. Then Integra moved onto Sir Islands letter which basically told her her father would be proud. After she was done Integra started to feel drowsy, and set the tea cup down a bit loudly.



Have I really been here reading that long? She thought as she looked towards the clock on her desk with heavy lidded eyes. It\'s still early it\'s only nine o\'clock. So then why do I feel so tired? Maybe all the stress, and sleepless nights from Alucard interrupting my dreams have finally caught up to me.



After some more persuasion on her part Integra pushed herself up, and started to head for the door when she collapsed to her knees in front of her desk. Her body was beginning to feel heavy just like her eyelids as she attempted to raise herself up. Out of the corner of her right eye she noticed a shadowed figure moving towards her.



“Al...Alucard?” The drowsiness was beginning to affect everything in her body as the figure stopped in front of her. Shock washed over her as she saw who it was in the moonlight. “It\'s you.”



“Good Evening Sir Integra. I dare say I\'m only gone for one day, and you are already losing your manners. Honestly is that anyway to greet your old faithful butler? Anyways, I\'m afraid Alucard shan\'t be appearing to save you this time thanks to that rather annoying catboy. Not to worry though I\'ll make sure to take good care of you. Now then Sir Integra I insist you go to sleep this instant.” Before he could say the last sentence he smirked. “You\'ll need your energy for tomorrow.”



A thought came to Integra as to why she was feeling so drained of energy as her body fell onto the floor onto her left side. “Damn you Walter.” Then her vision went black as her eyelids fell, and she slipped into unconsciousness.
