Chapter Seven:

Xander was glad to be back home and away from Buffy and Angel. It shoulder be enough that Willow, Cordy, Oz, and Giles accept his vampire self, but it wasn't enough. It was hurtful to Xander that Buffy accepted Angel knowing he had killed more innocents then even the Watcher's Council could keep track of and yet she couldn't accept Xander. Xander never had taken an innocent life human or otherwise and she still treated him like he was beneath her notice. Then again Buffy always treated him that way so maybe it was because he was beneath her notice or she just didn't give a dang about him. Xander sighed and sat at the edge of his bed wishing the month was already over with so they could return to England and he wouldn't have to face Buffy or Angel anymore. Xander was taken from his thoughts when a pair of strong arms wrapped around him pulling him against a strong wide chest. Xander closed his eyes in pleasure and leaned back against his Sire. Usually Xander would be all freaked out about being in the arms of another man. Maybe it was because Xander was a True Vampire now and he had a very strong unbreakable connection to Alucard. Xander felt safe and loved by his Sire and he knew he would never be abandon or left behind.

"You should not allow the Slayer or the soulless one to bother you my Childe." Alucard ran a clawed hand through Xander's thick dark brown hair. "She and her pet are not worthy of our time Alexander." The Slayer would soon see the mistakes she is making by pushing Xander away. Angelus didn't love the Slayer like he believed himself to be. Alucard saw into the creature's dead heart and knew who he really longed for and it wasn't the Slayer.

Xander nodded and looked up at Alucard smiling pleased at what was seeing. Alucard wasn't wearing that old long red coat or hat and he was also glad to see the sunglasses were gone too. Xander liked seeing his Sire like this all relaxed and being able to see his blood red eyes. Some would find the blood red eyes unnerving with the way they could see straight into your soul, but not Xander he loved those eyes and how they could see into one's soul. Xander knew Alucard saw into Buffy's soul, but he still had hoped his friend was still in there somewhere. "Buffy was a good friend Sire and she wasn't always like this its Angel's fault that she changed"

"No my sweet Protector it's not the soulless' fault." Alucard spoke firmly maybe a little harshly to make Xander realize the Slayer was no longer the friend she may have once been. "The Slayer acts on her own there is no one forcing her to treat you or the rest of your friends the way she does."

As much as Xander would have liked to deny Alucard's words he knew his Sire was right. Then again Xander has never seen his Sire wrong before that must drive Sir Hellsing crazy. A small smile crossed Xander's face as he looked up into his Sire's face. Driving Sir Hellsing crazy may be the main reason why Alucard always proved himself right. "You are Sire and I'll take it too heart."

"And now it's time to eat." Alucard said five seconds before there was a knock on the door. Xander frowned he didn't notice Seras on the other side of the door. Alucard only chuckled lightly ruffling his Childe's hair. "Your senses are still growing Alexander soon yours will be caught up with Seras." He turned his attention to the door. "Come in Police Girl."

Seras entered the room a happy grin on her face as she carried a tray holding four blood packets, a wine glass, and a plain black cup. She sat the tray on the night stand closest to the bed. "I brought extra blood Master knowing you and Xander must be very hungry."

"Well done Police Girl." Alucard grabbed a blood packet ripping off the top with his teeth and drank the blood right out of the bag and he did it all in under ten seconds. He reached out grabbed a second bad and did the same.

"Thanks Seras." Xander smiled at his blonde friend considering Seras to be a sister even if she wasn't a Childe of Alucard only a servant. Still smiling he took one of the blood packets opened it and poured the blood into the plain black cup.

Seras smiled and waved on hand before grabbing the tray and leaving the room. Her show was still on and she didn't want to miss the last of it. American television sure was interesting and she enjoyed watching the dramas. Xander sat his empty cup on the night stand after the door shut behind Seras. Xander brushing a hand through his hair turned his attention to Alucard. "Are you really going to stay the month with us Sire?"

"Yes unless I'm called back to England by my Master." Alucard lay down on the bed using his arms as pillows. He watched closely as Xander changed out of his clothes into a pair of red shorts and a white T-shirt with the words 'Bite Me' on it and he just happened to like that little saying.

"Sire there was something I wanted to ask you for awhile now?" Xander crawled under the blanket to Alucard's side.

Alucard raised an eyebrow already knowing what his Childe wanted to ask him. "Why do I serve Hellsing when she has no control over me?"

"I wish you would quit reading my mind Sire, but yes that's what I wanted to know." Xander turned on his side facing Alucard. "I mean you have your full powers back and yet Sire you still do as Sir Hellsing commands."

"The Hellsing family never had me sealed Alexander so I never lost any of my power. I only allowed them to believe they had me under their control because it amused me." Alucard took one arm from under his head and wrapped it around Xander pulling him closer to his body. "Later on I stayed because I respected the Hellsing family and then I made a promise to Sir Hellsing's father to stay and protect her until she dies. We all know the Hellsing line will die with her when she passes on."

It was true Sir Helling wasn't the marrying type and there was also the fact she liked women better than men. "Then what will we do after Sir Hellsing passes on?"

Alucard laughed looking at Xander with a smirk crossing his face. He knew the boy would keep him amused. The No Life King knew he made a great choice making Alexander a Childe instead of a servant. "We'll figure it out when the time comes Childe and hopefully that won't be for a very long time."

"Me too Sire me too." Xander yawned sleepily closing his eyes and falling asleep. It was still too early for a vampire to go to bed, but he had a long day and he didn't think Alucard cared.

Alucard watched as Alexander slept as plans passed through his head. He needed to get the soulless one away from the Slayer. Alucard's smirk turned pure evil as memories from the past flashed through his mind. Angelus despite his Sire getting in his way cared for and trained his grand Childe William since his Childe Drucilla was insane and couldn't even take care of herself. The True Vampire hated the creatures that dared called themselves vampires. Alucard hated them much more than he did freaks, but for this one time he will take one in.
