Fields of Innocence
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
Searching for a face
Is anybody here i know
'Cause nothings going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you

Chapter 1:
A Fateful Meeting
The night was cold and eerily calm. The moon was full and beautiful but seemed to glare down in disgust at the carnage that had been brought down before the town. But the battle was over. All that now stood in the middle of the FREAK and ghoul carnage was a lone man.
Or rather vampire.
With his tall lithe figure he wore a plain grey suit with a crisp white dress shirt underneath that held an ascot that was tied loosely. His Victorian dress was covered by a long billowing trench coat. Alucard looked up around him and smiled slightly at his handiwork. Holstering his two guns inside his pockets he paused for a moment before heading on to look up at the moon.
"Ah…angry with me aren't you?" he asked the glaring moon. "It had to be done. No other way." His voice was simple but a sad tone in his voice was evident. "It wont matter anymore, I am still one of the damned. One of your servants, do not judge me harshly my lady." And with that he turned on his heel and began to walk back through the carnage.
As he walked, just before he left the village he heard a faint rustle. Taking out his Calsull immediately he spun around in a deadly aim.
"Show yourself." He said his voice low, deep, and filled with a flat sadism to it. He was in no mode to be merciful.
"P-p-please…d-don't s-sh-shoot." Came a small soft voice, obviously female. Alucard looked surprised at the voice. He tipped his head and through his glasses he saw a small girl roll out from the carnage.
Blood mixed with sweat and tears could be smelled on her. She was covered in filth but it did almost nothing to mask her tantalizing scent of a sweet floral resembling lilies. She was a small girl with a four foot eleven frame that was petite and frail looking. Her skin looked ultra sensitive in its paleness. A matted mess of black hair that came in waves to her shoulders hung about her face as it was parted down the right of her face and swooped over her left eye in a straight sweep. Big brown puppy dog eyes stared up at the Nosferatu with a look of pure and utter sadness. Such innocence was becoming upon her as they both stared at each other.
"P-p-please…" she stuttered. Her soft British accent was low and pleading. "I…I'm not one of them…p-please don't kill me." she begged as tears flowed down her eyes. He did not lower his weapon. He knew not to trust foes like her, but what if she wasn't one?
"What is your name child?" he said his words slightly harsh.
"Amelia…Amelia Swan, but I go by Mia…most of the time." She muttered and he noticed that she was no more than eight or ten years of age. A face of purity and sweetness. Eyes of Innocence as he searched her mind. Flashes of her past fluttered through his mind, he concluded she was no more than a mere unfortunate mortal.
"Don't worry little one, I'll not harm you I-" he was cut off as many shots began to fire rapidly into him. He heard the little girl scream and hide in her shelter once more. It was official, he was now officially pissed. Satan himself would have cowered in Alucard's fury.
When the bullets had stopped and he was nothing more than Swiss cheese. Alucard turned and saw a band of police ghouls. So that's how they want to play…Getting up quickly. He regenerated faster than normal and turned to face them.
"Did you think you would get away that easily did you?" came the FREAK responsible for all this.
"And did you think you'd get away alive." Said Alucard and with many bangs and explosions from his guns. The ghouls around the scared shitless FREAK lay dead. And Alucard heard the quiet sobbing of the little girl and could feel her distress. It tore through his like knife. He wanted nothing more than to soothe her but he had a more pressing matter at hand.
"W-w-wait…!" cried the FREAK
"Die." Was all Alucard said and with two deafening shots to the head and the heart. The FREAK fell back to form a pile of disgusting grey glop.
Holstering his guns he shook his head in disgust before he turned around. The little girl was gone but he knew that she was merely hiding.
"Come out little one, its all over now." His call was meant with silence. Sighing he crossed the space between him and the little girl's hiding place. Peeling away the wood easily away he came upon the little girl.
She was huddled in a small ball of pure terror as she looked up at him. Her heart was racing and she was the most pathetic human he had ever seen. But a desire rose up within him. The need to protect, the need to hold her close and never let go. He gave her a small reassuring smile and in a soothing voice he spoke.
"Its alright now, your going to be okay." She merely nodded. "Why don't you come out?" she shook her head and he sighed.
"Its alright, I promise I won't hurt you."
"I know you wouldn't." she whispered and he was shocked at her words. "I don't know why, but I just know."
"If you know then why wont you come out?" he asked concern now in his voice.
"There out there, its too scary." She said and he smiled at her pathetic voice.
"There gone now, and they'll never come back. I've killed them. So its all over now child, all's well." and he extended a hand to her. Surprised once more than she did not shrink from it. "So will you come out?" and she looked hesitant before slipping her small hand that could have been wrapped around twice by Alucard's.
Pulling her up and out of her hiding hole as gently as he could. He set her down before him. She really was a runty child he noted. She came up just a little past his waist. Bending down at her level he looked into her eyes.
"Are you alright?" and she nodded and he noted the blood was not her's. But the tears certainly were.
"I'm scared." She whispered, "There not coming back…ever." And she burst into tears and Alucard looked pained.
"Why are you crying young one?" he said as he placed a hand on her shoulder. Not sure what else to do he began to pull her into him. Wrapping her up in his arms her thin little arms snaked up and wrapped themselves around his neck.
"Mama…papa…there never coming b-back." She sobbed into his neck.
"Shh, shh, shh, it will be alright little one. I promise you."
"B-b-but…" she stuttered, "I'm…all...alone, now." She said her voice filled with so much pain it killed Alucard to hear her even speak. He felt her heart beat with fear and terror at what just happened. Her mind was heavy with grief and pain, he could feel her suffocating under her own sobs.
"Its going to be okay little one, I promise you. Your not alone, I'm here. I'll stay with you." And he felt her become appease. Hope flared within her like a newfound candle.
"R-r-really?" she chocked pulling back to look into his crimson orbs.
"Really, really."
"You promise?" she said the hope was now sparking into a dangerous bonfire, Alucard smiled revealing his fangs.
"Promise." And as though the sun itself broke through from all of the clouds of dull grey rain.
She smiled.
To Alucard it was as if the moon herself smiled up at him. With her deep brown eyes filled with so much happiness and love. Her pupils were like stars to him, making his heart flutter if it could still beat. He smiled back at her as he was caught off guard with a massive hug. For the first time in years blood tears streamed down his eyes as he hugged the little girl back.
"Thank you." She whispered to him, so low he almost didn't hear it. He was shocked, this little girl. So insignificant and frail was hugging him so tightly and so close. It made him feel warm and fuzzy all over. He was confused at this. Wiping away his tears slyly he gently pried her from him.
"Don't worry, a promise is a promise." He said to appease her shocked look. It looked as though he were going to leave. Instead he wrapped her up in his long trench coat till she was nothing more than a cute little red bundle with ha head. Picking her up gently she leaned against his muscular chest.
"You never told me your name, sir." She said and he smiled as they began to walk back towards the Hellsing troops.
"You may call me Alucard." He said and he could feel her nod. "Close your eyes child, its time to get some rest."
"Okay." And he began to sing softly to her. A soothing lullaby he had learned as a child himself by his own mother. Instantly her eyes closed and she fell back into a blissful slumber.
"Sweet dreams…Mia." He said whispering her name softly and sweetly. She sighed as she lay in her protector's arms.
"Yes…." And she trailed off with another sigh and the next words out her mouth are what shocked Alucard to the point of speechlessness.
"…Papa Alucard…"
