1. Chapter 1

CHAPTER ONE

A.N. First off, disclaimer. If you think I own this, think again. That's why it is called Fanfiction. It belongs to someone else and like many other authors here on this site I have read, I agree with them on this remark. I'm only playing with these characters for my own personal amusement and anyone who thinks the story is cool too. Otherwise, I do not own them and never will. The only thing I own is the original character I portray in this story and a few others I'll come up with later that make brief scenes. Rating is MATURE, suggestive themes, sexual references, violence, blood, gore, graphic depictions of death, oh and yes, swearing obviously.

This is a Hellsing fanfic after all so anyone who knows what Hellsing is, they know what to expect. Based on more on the Anime and some of the Manga. If you are reading this with no knowledge of Hellsing, then go find the Anime. Not the Ultimate version based on the Manga series, though I recommend it anyway. Also, there is a crossover with the Highlander universe too. And some others later which I will place under the name of the chapter when I get around to explaining the relevance, or not and let you guess which crossover it is, none of which I own.

This story takes place shortly after Seras was changed into a vampire, say a few days or so after she has left working under Peter Ferguson to work for Sir Integra. Seras has already killed one vampire so far, the girl that was with the guy on the bike that were going around and killing people for some blood ritual or something.

Since I know very little about the Hellsing characters and their backgrounds, in depth, other than what I have seen from the Anime that had Seras in a blue uniform, since I thought the yellow one was a very bad choice color, I'm going to make a few things up for them about their past and such. FURTHER, I've been told the Hellsing series takes place somewhere in the later years of the 1990's. For me, I'm saying it takes place towards the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002. You'll find out why later. It is Fanfiction after all.

I sent out this first chapter to a few Hellsing authors for help, betaing and such, but only got back a response from a author called Maria Elena and Eternal Sorrow. If you are reading this now, thanks! The idea later with Integra and her sword practicing is credited to the author EZB.

ADDITIONAL: After receiving one to many responses to this story, flames as I hear they call them, I decided to go back over everything and redo what I could to make it hopefully more appealing to some people out there. Even though I did get some good responses to what I had done, I got enough reviews and emails that, pun intended or not, were as bad or worse than the blitz the Germans did on England many years ago. Point here, I was told I did a very terrible job and more than one person gave up before getting to chapter three and some not even finishing this chapter. So, I am revising and re-editing in hopes it turns out better. If I get the same flaming reports or worse, then oh well. If you don't like it, don't read it. It's also the first couple chapters to basically start the story, so, a lot of fighting and such doesn't take place until a bit later.

OTHER ADDITIONAL: In case no one has noticed, I have wrote three other stories besides this one, one still on going. The other three also have OC characters in them. I don't really know how to do anything otherwise and don't plan on changing it either. I like doing stories where I put myself into the story, and sometimes, that character is a bit Marty Stu. Anyway, no offense to anyone, but serious, you don't like, don't waste your time reading this then, much less, telling me how much it sucks.

And so begins the story of Immortal Hellsing…..

The mission involving the elimination of two teenage Freaks who were killing families of people and leaving heretical marks in the blood of their victims had happened less than a week ago. After only a few days of respite, Integra was informed of another attack by more Freaks yet again. Still a bit unsure of the new vampire, Seras Victoria, Integra sent her along anyway, with Alucard and the troops to the large semi abandoned warehouse district to eliminate the problem. Alucard was dealing with several ghouls and a couple of Freaks, firing off his .454 Cascull as he laughed manically. They were no match for him at all and very petty actually, so petty he could tell they hadn't been turned into Freaks all that long ago, say less than a month. Other Freaks he had fought had been stronger and some had been weaker than the ones he was dealing with right now. Personally, he was just happy to be out of the mansion and killing something. It was his element, his reason for his existence and joy. Had his Control Art system been released further, such as level one, he would have been able to deal with all the enemies in the area very quickly. But, that would only end the fight quicker and leave him more time to be bored around the Hellsing Manor. Even though the ghouls and Freaks had absolutely no chance to win, even if he let them attack him without retaliation, they still couldn't win.

Several other troops were inside the large, multi level warehouse, also fighting the ghouls, while trying to avoid the old crates with scrap metal and other junk, along with hanging chains and a bunch of other stuff that suggested the place was once a metal refinery or sorts. While Alucard had charged in head long and was using his gun to blow the enemy away, his empty hand to rip apart some ghoul or stick his hand into their chest, making them turn to dust, or biting the heads off at the neck, the troops took cover behind various objects and firing from a distance to keep from being eaten alive, killed outright instantly, or turned into ghouls as well. They'd lost three so far and a few others were wounded, but otherwise, they were winning.

Alucard's fledgling, Seras Victoria, was up in a far corner room taking on the other Freak he sent her after. The said room was once a computer and storage room that had damaged file cabinets in various spots, all empty. Seeing as she still wasn't totally accepting herself at being a vampire, even though she chose to become one, he sent her to kill the other Freak in hopes that she would realize she needed to drink in order to be able to survive. Many times he had ordered her to drink, but since he had yet to enforce it upon her, she always tossed it out when he left. He didn't want her dead and was sure she could take the Freak out, but he did hope she got as least enough of an ass kicking that she would drop her ideas about being human still and become the vampire she could be. The draculina he wanted to be proud of.

That other Freak was currently harassing Seras, sexually taunting her with gestures and trying to grope her. So far, she'd been able to avoid getting groped but her uniform was rather damaged in the process. He was wielding a short sword and swinging with good accuracy and speed. The small skirt was cut a few times and started climbing as the tightness around the bottom hem was gone and the rips began to slowly get farther and farther apart. She thought it was bad enough it was extremely short to begin with but now it was about ready to not stay down anymore. With what she usually thought was a unfortunately large chest, mostly because guys looked there than at her face, even before becoming a vampire, she hadn't been able to avoid the sword to that area of her body either. The other problem was she had taken a couple cuts across her left breast, and even though they had healed, it still ripped her uniform even more, taking her Hellsing insignia off. He also got the other insignia on her left arm as well, leaving a nasty cut behind in its place. Her large assault rifle was being used at first to try and shoot him, but he avoided it easily till she ran out of ammo. Then she tried hitting him with it, only to fail, and was currently using it to block the sword. It lasted through about five swings before he managed to cut it in half and that's when her chest got hit the first time. He struck her in anger again there moments later making comments about the hated Hellsing Organization as the insignia flew off. Another cut across the front would end up exposing her breast fully if she wasn't careful. A couple cuts on her arms and legs also made her weak from blood loss, since she was not drinking the blood she was given to begin with. The ten or twelve, she couldn't exactly remember the numbers, ghouls she had to shoot and fight her way through to get to where she was didn't help her already fatigued body by the time she got to the Freak.

She tried calling for Alucard or for any of the other officers to help when he stabbed the sword into her right shoulder pinning her again the wall. Luckily the sword was not made from silver or else it would be hurting much worse. In this case, it was as bad, since she was currently pinned to the wall as he got right in her face, still holding the handle and moving it just enough to aggravate the wound.

"Hello Hellsing bitch." he said with a sneer and Mexican accent. "Calling for help won't work this far up. There's still another twenty ghouls hiding in the hall that leads to this room, which you missed because I had them hiding. None of those soldiers would make it in time to stop me. Even if they did, I'd just turn them into more ghouls to work for me!"

"My Master…." she growled as she tried to pull the sword out.

"Is busy with my two other vampire friends." he said smiling with a leer as he used his free hand to stroke her inner left thigh.

She jerked and cried out while trying to move but he turned the blade slightly, making her reach for it again to try and keep pulling it out. She was pulling it out slowly, but she was getting weaker from blood loss and the fear she wouldn't be rescued in time.

"Alucard won't be showing up." he said slowly reaching higher up the damaged skirt. "I will have so much fun with your body. You can either try to enjoy it and I may let you live or I'll just kill you now and have my fun with you anyway."

She jerked and cried out as he grabbed the front of her panties roughly and started pulling them off after a few seconds of groping.

"That's not a way to treat a lady." a soothing but manly voice laced with a steely tone said. "Tsk, tsk. Obviously you didn't listen or your parents raised you wrong. Where are you manners?"

There was a breeze in the air they both felt just after the man spoke, giving them no time to look where the voice was coming from. The vampire moved to grab a gun from the front of his pants but stopped half way as he gurgled. He didn't see anything and couldn't anymore as his head fell off backwards followed by his body. She looked past where his head was to see some tall man in a black leather coat holding a massively long and big sword away from his body. A strange black material was sewn into the back of the coat, which she figured was where the sword was placed since no sheath was present. Obviously it was made of silver because the vampire turned to dust before her as he turned around spinning the blade a few times before placing it on his shoulder. He was six feet tall, with thick and very blue black hair, more blue than black making her think it might be dyed. The hairstyle rose up kinda like Integra's did, but parted down the middle and was similar to a mullet in the back. The sunglasses had metallic blue circle lenses with metallic blue frames that were bigger than they normally would be. He had a suit of some sort under the large coat, which had a high rise collar that was about three inches high going all the way around the back of his head. Black combat boots with an inch of tread made him over six feet tall. Where ever he came from, neither her or the former Freak heard. He gave her a look over as he lowered his glasses slightly and stuck the massive sword into the floor.

"A…very revealing outfit there lady. More revealing now than before. You might want to pull your underwear back up though." he said keeping his eyes on hers, she noticed, mostly after the last comment.

She quickly pulled her panties back up, one handed, as he had turned around to give her some privacy. It really hurt her other arm, but she ignored it as he continued. "I'm guessing from that look I saw in your eyes, it's not something you chose to wear. The skirt thing I mean."

At first, he had looked her over and she did notice that his mind wandered, not surprising since her blue panties were showing. Not to mention part of her left breast, just not the nipple part thankfully. Now he was keeping complete eye contact and from the way he smelled, thanks to her vampire powers increasing her smelling ability, he wasn't aroused anymore. Unlike the dead vampire who might as well have been walking with a third leg the instant he saw her.

"Let me help you with…." he said calmly walking up with both hands out peacefully.

She quickly pulled the sword from her arm with a cry of pain and held it out as he started forward. Unfortunately she had lost too much blood and was so weak she couldn't hold it and dropped it as she fell forward. He caught her before she hit the floor not caring that blood got on him. She tried to fight him off and even call for help weakly, but ended up passing out in his arms, fear gripping her for a moment before blackness overcame her thoughts.

"Been awhile since a woman has fell into my arms." he said lowering her to the floor slowly. "Unfortunately it wasn't my charm this time. Not that I wasn't trying."

He put his sword on his back and then cut his hand with the other, shorter sword and placed it over her open mouth, then sat back, opened and ate a king sized Hershey bar.

"The day chocolate becomes extinct, is the day I commit suicide." he said kissing the bar once before tearing into it again. "Almost better than sex. Then again, considering my life…"

Though unconscious in her mind, her body awoke and grabbed his hand, sucking harder. After about ten seconds, he waved a garlic clove in her face. She backed off instantly and hissed at him as she got up slowly from her knees.

"Lady, I'm not here to fight you." he said tossing the garlic to the far side of the room and pocketing the rest of the bar. "Didn't think you were going to wake up either. I wanted to finish that. There is always later."

Only then did he notice she was in a blood lust attack as she rushed up and tried to bite his neck. He grabbed her wrist and held her back with some ease since she was still rather weak despite the blood she got from him. He figured a cup or two was what she had gotten from him before she bit his hand. It was enough to help her heal some anyway but not fully. She was looking at his neck and trying for it as he spoke very old words, words that made her jerk away quickly in pain as she grabbed her head.

"Wha…" she began asking when she suddenly realized what she was doing.

It scared her how she was about to suck the life out of a man who had just saved her from getting raped, or worse. Though she had no idea who or what he was. His hand was not bleeding on her or injured anymore she noticed as he placed it on her shoulder in a comforting way. She stepped back holding her arms close to herself as different thoughts ran through her head while he was saying something. It all was a bit too confusing and with what had almost happened, plus still being rather weak, she passed out again not hearing a word he said. He managed to catch her in time, though had to look away quickly as she fell backwards instead of forwards causing the rips to widen and make her left breast to pop free.

"What idiot made her wear such a revealing outfit? And without a bra?" he muttered as he slung her over his shoulder and held her lower thighs. If on the off chance she woke up again, it would be better his hand wasn't holding her ass, not to mention it would be ill mannered and perverted to do so anyway, despite how tempting the thought was. "Now to get out of here before those troops show up. They're blasting everything in sight."

Alucard had felt his fledglings fear and panic as he fought and killed one of the Freaks with his hand, stabbing the guy through the chest. The Freak screamed and then turned to dust as Alucard aimed his gun at the other one and emptied the rest of his clip into him. He ignored her thoughts knowing the troops were nearby and the fact that this would be a learning experience for her as he had hoped. She'd have to drink the blood now in order to keep from having herself left in a compromising position. Though part of him would like to let her go into a blood lust attack, even if it was on the troops, he knew Integra would be thoroughly pissed more at him then at Seras. The other Freak died from several shots and turned to dust as a couple troops entered.

"Control art restriction complete, the targets have been silenced." he said knowing the other Freak that Seras had been fighting was dead. Though he was thinking she had finally managed to kill it and then passed out.

"That's all of them then, good work." one of the men in charge said.

"Yes. The police girl finished off the other one…." he said trailing off as he felt something wrong.

"Is there another Freak Alucard?" the leader asked as he and the men glanced around with their weapons quickly.

"No. The police girl is not headed towards us, but far away. And quickly."

"She's outside already and headed home? She's suppose to report back first…"

"No. The opposite direction." he said confused as he tried to talk to her with his mind, but she was totally unconscious to the point of not even dreaming and not hearing him. "The police girl is completely unconscious however."

"We'll have to go after her then and get her quickly." the leader said.

"I'll go. Tell Sir Integra…."

"The sun will be rising in twenty minutes Alucard."

"Damn." he muttered. "The police girl will be in serious trouble when and if she returns. I shall inform Sir Integra of this development. Someone has taken her. Make sure to check for anything that might give us what we need to find this kidnapper. And when you find them, you only hold those responsible until I arrive to deal with them myself. Am I clear?"

"Yes Alucard. The rest of you spread out and check the place over, just in case. Maybe we'll find a clue of why she was taken." the leader said as Alucard faded away into the darkness using his powers to transport himself home.

Integra was not pleased to hear about Seras being kidnapped and she sent out a different group to look for her. The only consolation they had in knowing if she was dead or going to be soon was if Alucard said she was. According to him, where ever she currently was, seeing as something was inhibiting his ability to locate her, she was still asleep and not in any danger as far as he could tell. He was going to go sleep, being daylight and if she ended up dying or worse, he would awake and tell Integra. Until he knew something else, he couldn't go searching till night time. Integra was kinda surprised to learn about the garlic clove being there on the top floor though no where near the blood or the vampire dust. They found blood on some short ordinary sword that was not from any of the ghouls and boot prints that were not from their men, nor was the blood from any other their men that had been injured or died. Plus, none of the men said they had gotten that far up and killed the ghouls, which was done by some sword, only evident by the deep cuts in the walls plus vampire dust in the cuts. Though Alucard did say Seras's scent was on the blade, the other blood he didn't know. Though the taste was were intriguing, and had the hint of something he hadn't tasted in a long time. So long, he couldn't remember where or when.

Seras awoke a few hours later, feeling much better but still tired. She knew what blood tasted like and it was lingering in her mouth like she drank it recently. But she was avoiding drinking it like the plaque and started thinking that she had been injured rather badly on a mission and that they had to force feed her, or worse, she began thinking she had attacked and drank someone when everything slowly came back to her. Her eyes opened quickly as she sat up and looked around. A quick glance down showed she was wearing a large blue robe, bigger and longer than her, and after quickly yanking it open, she found all her bloody and ripped clothes still on from last night. And her left breast showing since her uniform was ripped badly in that area.

"This isn't my room." she muttered closing the robe quickly.

She was in a large king sized bed, apparently the foam type mattress which felt very comfy despite her predicament. The sheets she was under were also blue along with the pillows and cases with a outer space style comforter she figured was probably glow in the dark on top of that. To her right was a closed door that lead to the bathroom, she learned later. There was a large window, drapes closed tightly and a black sheet covering them. A large oak amore cabinet was next to the window, closed currently. Up from that was another window that was covered. From there it was a small kitchen, which had a smaller window, also closed and covered. Just outside the kitchen on the left side was the door out of the apartment. There was a small table for a couple of people to eat on just outside the kitchen and several feet from the bed. A cup was steaming on the table with a empty but crumb filled plate.

"No, it's not. And unless you have a bed just like that, that one must feel much more comfortable."

She jumped from being startled and looked to her right to find a wall. Covering herself up further, she slowly crawled to the edge of the bed to find the wall met a door that was opening into a walk in closet. The man from last night walked out, in a similar robe, holding a suit in a bag and went to his cup as she sat back quickly, after he laid the reddish suit on the end of the bed.

"I would have took you to your home, but there was a few problems with that." he said taking a drink and sitting down. "Ah, hot chocolate, extra rich. I'd offer you some, but….anyway. First, I guess the most important reason you are here is because the sun was about to rise and I didn't want to see you burn to death. Not pretty and the screams alone sound hellish. Come to think of it, it looks hellish as well. Let's see, two, I don't even know where you live much less have seen that sort of uniform before and other than a quick glance and not seeing any form of insignia, I did not linger and look at your revealing form. Seeing what I did of the damage done to it, I decided not to search you either. However, I am guessing you don't have anything on you anyway. I have to admit you are a very beautiful lady. Like the hair a lot too. That style, other than being very pretty is also very cool. Very unusual and, I have to admit, I think it is a first. Then again, a lot of things now days are turning out as first anyway."

"You, do know what I am then?" she asked after a moment.

It had been awhile since she had been hit on by a guy who wasn't looking to hopefully get lucky. This guy's smell said he wasn't aroused and the tone of his voice didn't seem false or like a pick up line, but of genuine concern.

"I did mention the sun." he said taking another drink. "Didn't want to see you burn to death and scream ring a bell?"

"Right, sorry. And you're not afraid?" she said still holding the robe close.

"I've been around long enough to see that what is really scary, no offense intended here, is not the so called monsters that exist here and there. Vampires, werewolves and a few creatures said to be mythical I mean. And you are a very far cry from being a monster nor do I consider you one. Neither is the aliens who have came and gone from this planet several times. It's humans that are evil. We're worse than animals. We'll even kill our own family for petty revenge sometimes. Besides, obviously you aren't a bad vampire because you're wearing a uniform, meaning you work for someone. That and when I gave you some of my blood, and then when you suddenly realized you were drinking it, you backed off scared, very quickly. I've been around other vampires, though been awhile, who have had trouble….changing over we'll say." he said opening the paper. "I must be the first person you've bit or you did it to someone and hate yourself for it. Thankfully, you were able to drink better totally unconscious when we got here instead of like last time when you attacked me."

"How do I know you didn't do anything to me while I was asleep?" she asked despite the fact she was pretty sure she wasn't raped or molested.

It didn't feel like anything happened down there anyway. And her underwear wasn't bloody or soiled as far as she noticed when she looked before asking. He chuckled lightly as he kept reading.

"I'm guessing you're very new to being a vampire. Otherwise you wouldn't have looked down to check, plus you didn't try reading my mind to see if I had done anything. Which I gather means you were seeing if you lost your virginity. I have no real way of…proving that I didn't other than my word I didn't touch you, sexually. Or otherwise really. I put you in my car, brought you to one of my homes, put one of my robes on you, and put you under the sheets. I will admit I saw your left breast, though it was unintentional. When you passed out the second time, in my arms, you fell backwards and it, caused your outfit to rip further. I have a pretty good idea why you don't wear a bra, but you don't have to tell me a reason. Anyway, I covered the windows, took a shower, got something to eat and now I'm reading the paper. I had a friend bring some pants and a turtle neck sweater in your size. I could have had them get undergarments too, but that I figured that would be more personal that you'd want anyone to go. Plus, technically being dead, you don't really have to wear undergarments."

"How do you know my size?" she asked accusingly. "The only way to…"

"You're wearing my robe. From there, I pretty much guessed. Not that hard really. I'm only a couple inches higher than you are. Turtle neck shirts stretch so it was easy to guess on getting that right, as for your waist, I just touched your sides, after the robe was on and guessed compared to mine. The shower is in the bathroom to your right. The clothes are in there too along with your boots, which I cleaned for you. Use whatever you like."

"What if I decide to just walk out of here and call a cab?" she asked getting out of the bed slowly while holding the robe closed.

"I'd pay for the fare, but you can't go right now." he said getting up and putting his dishes in the dishwasher.

"Why not? Are you going to stop me from leaving? I'm pretty sure I can take you down if you try to stop me."

He walked over and opened the drape just slightly, next to the kitchen. Sunlight beamed in through the small crack he made and then went away as he let go.

"No, won't stop you and doubt I could unless I really tried. Though if you wish to go out and burn in public, I can't stop you…." he said shrugging. "I'd prefer not to see or hear that happen though. That and you'd scare the other people here to death, literally. There is quite a few old people here who can scare easily. Some have bad heart conditions."

"How long have I been asleep?" she asked sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Four hours maybe. I haven't really been keeping track. Now, I haven't had any sleep for, since before the sun went down last night. Fighting ghouls and chasing them around tends to wear me out. Though it was mostly the strange vampire I had to fight a couple hours before I met you that caused me the most trouble. Anyway, I have a very important meeting with a Royal Knight of the Order later this evening. Or was it called the Round Table? Whatever…" he said picking the suit up and hanging it on the closet door hook. "I doubt very much that you'll take the offer, as surprising as it will sound, but I can offer you some more of my blood if you need it."

"What?! You would probably turn into a ghoul…."

"I gave you some more last night." he said with a sigh as he kept back the comment about blondes.

"There's a big difference between me biting you for it and you placing it in my mouth. I can hold out till later."

"And yet you bit me anyway. Look, never mind I brought it up. If it is any consolation, I can't be turned. I'm an Immortal and have been for a very long, long time. I can explain later. I'm really tired." he said turning off the lights and laying on the side of the bed against the closet wall. "I know you can see in the dark as well, though you can turn them back on if you wish. I have no intentions on taking advantage of you either so it is up to you if you wish to sleep on this large bed with me or not after you're done."

"Other than you saying you won't, how can I believe that?"

"What are you?" he asked calmly while not moving to look at her.

"A woman."

He slowly turned and really had to keep from saying something about blondes as he rubbed the bridge of his nose and sighed audibly.

"I meant…okay, look at it this way, you are a vampire. You have super human strength. If I did try something, you could crush me quickly."

"Oh, right."

He laid back down and shook his head.

"I have jogging pants on under this robe so I'll sleep on top of the bed and you can go back to sleeping in it if you wish. Unless something extremely disturbs me, pardon the pun, I sleep like the dead. And I have no phone calls coming in so, you need not worry about it ringing."

"What if I suddenly decide to drink you dry?"

"Wait till I'm asleep first. I won't notice it as much. It will take me a few days, but I'll recover. However, I really doubt you meant that, so…" he said trailing off.

She wasn't sure what to really do, but noticed he had fallen asleep rather quickly. She opened the front door, after unlocking it and glanced outside only to stick her head back in quickly as she noticed a sunbeam close by coming from down the hallway. Had she stepped out, she would have instantly been burning. It was an apartment building of some sort, none she recognized, not that she had been to many places that were apartments anyway. She closed and locked the door, noticing they were in the 25th room. The bathroom window was also covered she noticed as she locked the door. Even though she really didn't need the light all that much, she turned it on anyway to at least let him know, if he woke up that she was in there. Not that she could hide anywhere in the small apartment other than in the closet if she had to. The bed was so close to the floor you could barely slide a book under it so that was out of the question for her. She was rather surprised at the fact the bathroom was really clean and had been done so recently. He didn't mention having a cleaning person come in, but it was possible. The shower did feel nice and her worries about him and just about everything else went away quickly as she bathed. The clothes he got were her size, though the shirt was just a bit bigger instead of really tight across her chest. Whether he did that on purpose or not she didn't know but found out later that was the case since she had no bra. The socks were pretty much the same she had before. It wasn't until she got out that she really remembered where she was.

"I need a cell phone again." she muttered as she glanced around and noticed the portable on the wall next to the kitchen.

She grabbed it off the wall, left her boots next to the bed and went back into the bathroom, doing her hair as she called. Walter picked up and was surprised it was her.

"Are you alright Miss Victoria? Where are you? What are you doing?" he asked with genuine concern.

"Yes Walter. I'm, currently fixing my hair. I took a shower a few moments ago." she said and then recounted what happened during the fight.

She left out the part about almost being raped and what the vampire said though. She told him everything the unknown man said since her waking up and then going back to sleep. She intentionally left out that her uniform was damaged and his comments about her looks.

"Do you know where you are?"

"No, I don't. I can't look around since the suns out. He doesn't seem to care about what I am and said he'd bring me home later when the sun went down. I would have fought him off, but……I passed out."

"Sir Integra will be happy to hear you were not running off or was taken against your will intentionally."

"God no, I'd never run off Walter. Where would I go?"

"Understood. Wait a moment and I can get a fix on your location from a phone trace." he said typing at keys.

"Wouldn't do much good Walter. I can't leave without the sun being down."

"We do have some items that will allow you to go out in the sun for a short period of time Miss Victoria."

"I didn't know that." she said surprised.

"Ah, here we are. Oh, you are very far away from the mansion my dear. If we came and got you, you'd have to come back in a coffin."

"Where am I?"

"Near the ocean. At least a good hour's drive from here, depending on the traffic. Plus we'd have to cross the London Bridge."

"I….what does Sir Integra want to do?"

"I will inform her you are on the line." he said.

"Miss Victoria." a female voice said over the line a minute or so later.

"Sir Integra. I'm sorry…."

"Walter has explained the situation. You did not leave willingly with this man, right?"

"I was unconscious when he took me, yes."

"Very well. This was not your fault entirely. Alucard has informed me of your reluctance to drink. Had you done so before this mission, this situation might have been avoided."

"Yes sir." she said knowing she was in trouble.

"What is his name?"

"Ah….I don't know. Despite the small talk sir, we never exchanged those pleasantries. He did tell me he is going to see a Royal Knight of the Order later this evening, but he didn't give a name. I assume it is some man at the Palace sir."

"Hmm." Integra said as Seras heard her exhale, probably smoke from her cigars. "I will make inquires and hopefully find out who this person could be. Can you describe the sword he was carrying?"

"I remember it was very big sir. And very long. Taller than I am and almost as wide. And made of silver."

"That was obvious already from your story. Anything else you can describe about him?"

"Other than he means me no harm in any way, and the fact he offered me his blood. While I was unconscious, he gave me some though." she said with some disgust. "Beyond that, nothing apart from what I told Walter sir."

"Very well. We have the phone number for your location and if something arises, we'll call you or come there personally. In the meantime, learn what you can once he awakes and do not tell him anything about us. Only the address. I want to meet this man for myself when he brings you back. If he knows what you are and offered you his blood, there is something strange about this situation."

"Yes sir."

"Be careful Miss Victoria. This mans supposed gentleman like attitude could be a ruse."

"Yes sir. As strange as this may sound, he seems genuinely concerned about my welfare and expressed he wouldn't do anything to me. I feel he is telling the truth."

"It could be a subconscious effort of your vampiric powers feeling around in his head. Be careful anyway and we'll see you later."

She hung up after Integra did and looked in the mirror as she turned around only to not see anything but the floating phone.

"Right, only the Hellsing mirrors allow that. I gotta ask Walter how that works later." she said leaving quietly.

Whoever the mysterious man was, was still asleep and hadn't moved, nor was snoring. Seeing as she really didn't want to sleep on the floor, after putting the phone back, she got into the bed and turned away from him to go back to sleep. The robe and her clothes she set by the bathroom door with her boots. Sleep came to her rather easily and she slept soundly. She did hear a alarm go off sometime later and felt the bed move. She then heard the bathroom door close and him moving around in there, obviously taking a shower. Then the door opened and he came out speaking several minutes later.

"I hope you're awake like I think you are. It's been a extremely long time since I've been next to a sleeping vampire. There is only one other way to wake you up, well the only way I have available here right at the moment. Using old archaic words would just cause pain and I'd rather avoid hurting you. So, there's only one other choice…"

"And that is?" she mumbled as she sat up and yawned.

"Waving garlic under your nose. You'll smell it rather well from the kitchen probably…."

"Like last night." she said.

She saw him in a red three piece suit, no tie and a white button up shirt that had shiny buttons. There was even some watch in the vest pocket though he was wearing some fancy techno one on his right hand. Despite everything that had happened lately, she found him attractive at that moment.

"Well that was to keep you from drinking to much. I noticed you went into a blood lust attack and wasn't going to stop. Forgive me for saying this…" he said pouring himself a cup of coffee from the fridge. "As to if you find it offensive or to forward. Though I find you very attractive, I'm not trying to hit on you here. Well, I am in some ways, I admit. But when you hissed at me, and your eyes turned even redder, I found that very attractive."

She blinked and dropped her boots, wondering if she did something to gain his attention other then by her looks, but he didn't really notice her stop and what she dropped.

"Probably because I saw that look on Katerina a few times. That brings back some fond memories." he said with a mixture of sadness and delight.

"I'm sorry?"

"My wife at one time." he said drinking down the cold coffee quickly. "I was once married to a vampire. You kinda remind me of her in some ways."

She wasn't sure how to take that as she quickly put her boots on. He walked over to the large cabinet and pulled out one of those large trench like coats he had on last night. There was a couple of them in there and one in a bag that looked damaged and bloody, and probably her blood she figured. He also picked up two holsters that had two long magnums in them and a large thick case, she also figured carried the large sword she saw since it wasn't under the bed nor anywhere in the room. He put the two holsters on either side of his hips and then put the large coat on. She then noticed a large sew in patch that was a sheath for the huge sword.

"Anything you need to do or anything before we go? Drink perhaps?"

"No. I hate doing that anyway. Is it safe for, me to leave just yet?" she asked looking at the curtains.

"By the time we get to my car it will be. The sun isn't shining in the hallways anymore so we can take the elevator down the garage. I can tint the windows for you just in case." he said grabbing a granola bar from a box.

"You have a bag for my other clothes?"

"Oh yeah. Sure." he said grabbing a bag from under the counter. "Sorry I don't have anything better."

"Walter can fix them." she said as she put them in and followed him out.

"I used to know a Walter and somewhat recently." he said as they left. "Nice guy too. As far as I know, he's still working as a butler."

It was rather dark in the hallways and no one was around thankfully. He waved her into the elevator and then got in hitting the button. The trip down the five floors was in silence as was getting out and walking past several other cars. She quickly realized which car was his because it wasn't British and neither was his accent. It was a 1969 Dodge Charger, solid black, like a void black. There was a 01 on either side of the doors and a Confederate flag on top. Plus the words General Lee on either side of the flag above the doors. However, she was sure the car was much bigger than it was suppose to be because it was longer than the parking spot and as wide as one. Plus it was about two feet off the ground with large tires that it sported, which would normally be found on a big truck.

"Yes, the doors do open, though I can lock them in place if I have to." he said opening the driver door. "But I won't do that to you."

"What?" she asked going to the drivers side.

"It's the Dukes of Hazzard car. The General Lee, just in black and custom made. Cost me quite a bit to get personalized plates in this country though."

"Dukes of what?"

"You don't watch TV much do you?"

"Not really." she said getting in slowly and seeing a computerized dash.

It wasn't the normal type of dash in cars, or trucks. There was buttons in different areas and a small monitor screen. Different lights and other lighted bars were behind the steering wheel. Instead of gauges, there was a digital system. The car was a manual with a octagonal shifter head and a metallic blue G stamped into the top. The seats were red and the floors were black. The dash was a metallic blue. The rest of the interior was reds and blacks, though the roof was blue and as were the foam pads on the roll bar.

"Never mind then." he said closing his door and starting the engine. "Okay, we tint the windows, turn on the lights."

The windows darkened considerably, though she could see out them just fine and noticed blue beams of light hitting the wall and it made her flinch.

"No they are not ultra violet beams, just normal blue headlights." he said noticing her tense for a moment. "Now, before we leave, there's a couple things I need to know first."

"What?" she asked almost with a whisper.

He noticed the slight fear in her voice and ignored it as he stuck out his hand slowly as she looked at it.

"I'm the General. And you are?"

"Seras Victoria." she said seeing little harm in him knowing her name as she shook it.

"Now, the next thing I need to know, where am I going?"

"I thought you had a Royal Knight to see…"

"I do, but I still have just over an hour or so before the appointment. I admit I'd like to see more of you, as to get to know you better, but that will have to be another time and place. I'll drop you off and leave my phone number in case you ever want to talk or see me again."

She rattled off the address and he kinda stiffed up. That brought some fear back until he started laughing. His hands were covering his face as he laughed hard with the seat back.

"What's so funny? You know that address already and what's there?"

"Yeah, I do." he said still chuckling as they took off in a burst of extreme speed leaving a trail of burnt rubber. "Don't worry about the speed. An anti-tank round is not going to get through this thing. One of the reasons I'm in this country was because of an, illegal download from a special government agency in America. There's, what we'll call a special shield on the car, just about every metal part, making it almost completely indestructible. I've rolled the car before and other than the paint needing some work, no dents or bangs. And since the seat belts are race car type, we're really safe and not likely to be thrown around. However, on the off chance any accident does happen, we'll both walk away just fine."

"Wait a minute, you're name is General?"

"Yep." he said going around a car and getting honked at.

"I saw a report on you once. You've got a long list of traffic violations. Mostly speeding."

"How'd you see that?" he asked keeping his eyes on the road. "You don't look like a cop. Though the outfit last night seemed like one."

"I used to be a cop. Wait, you never answered why you know the address."

"That's where I am meeting the Royal Knight. It's been a lot of years since I've seen Sir Hellsing. All things considered, I should have realized you were with them. No one else in England that I know of would be able to supply blood in transfusion packets for any vampires that didn't want to be evil, or I should say a typical vampire. There is a few vampires out there that buy blood from the blood bank as part of a ongoing deal so they don't hunt anyone down, but you're way to young, as both a vampire and as a former human. You obviously don't want to die so you work for them. Not a bad trade off. And I know the few vampires in this area that are good vampires who get blood from the banks, and you aren't one of them. How old are you?"

"That's not a polite question to ask a lady." she said offended as she crossed her arms. "How old are you?"

"I've forgotten really." he said unsure while scratching the side of his fface with one finger. "I met a guy named Methos who's probably as old or maybe even older. Somewhere near 5000 years though."

"Assuming this is true, which I don't believe, even the Immortal crack, why would you tell me this?"

"Why not? Telling anyone else would probably make them think I was nuts or something. Telling a vampire, someone who can live that long and longer, well, that's different. There are a few vampires out there that I think are still alive that know me, the ones that have lived for a few hundred years I mean. They could tell you I'm telling the truth. I once sat down and talked to Dracula a long time ago. Very long time ago. He was still a Count in Transylvania back then. I've often wondered where he ended up or if he was killed. Arthur talked about him once, but I really wasn't paying a lot of attention at the time. All the different movies and books, kinda figure Hollywood might know something but I've never bothered to make any calls." he said as he made more swerves around other vehicles and not noticing her flinch. "Besides, Arthur can vouch for me. I worked for him before."

"That, sounds possible." she muttered.

"I'm not the only Immortal out there though. Most of them tend to stay away from vampires as much as possible though. Since we can be used as a endless feeding supply, well as to we can't be turned and given time, we fully recover. I'm one of the very few that deal with vampires, or did. Now I've noticed very few others out there lately so I've cut back on my garlic intake."

"Ah, I get it now. If you were captured, they wouldn't drink you. Back then you mean."

"Precisely. Last guy that did, somewhere over a hundred years ago, died rather horribly. I did warn him though and tried to speak civilly with him. I used to ingest small amounts of silver as well. Which I found out later is actually healthy, but I forget why. That vampire burned from the inside out. Wasn't pretty. But I don't do it anymore, the silver I mean. Which is why you are just fine."

"Thank you, I think. But you gave me your blood anyway…"

"You were essentially dying. And I didn't want to see that happen. I figured those troops were with you, but I didn't want to take the chance. It wouldn't have been the first time vampires had fought amongst themselves with an army in the crossfire." he said turning down the long road to the mansion. "I saw the innocent look in your eyes that Katerina used to have."

"Used to? But you said she was a vampire as well."

"Burned at the stake." he said quietly. "I couldn't save her. The only real bright side, she didn't want to be one."

"I'm sorry." she said as they pulled up the gate and a guard walked up.

"Long, long time ago. I'm gotten over it and she wouldn't want me to fret on it, much less cry anymore. Hello, I'm here to see Sir Hellsing. I have an appointment." he said pulling some papers from his pocket along with the passport.

"Miss Victoria?" the man asked confused as he saw her.

"Hi. Um, Sir Integra can explain it Donald."

"Yes Miss Victoria." he said going up the front gate to call ahead.

"Wait, Sir Integra? When did she get Knighted? Where's her father? I came to see him."

"Her father died years ago. Her uncle tried to kill her and she killed him. She took over at the age of fourteen. At least that's what Walter mentioned."

"Walter? He's still around? I would have thought he'd have retired. Whoa, then I have an appointment to see Integra?! I knew that uncle of hers seemed suspicious. He never did really like me. This is going to be hard now." he said driving in as they were given permission.

Though it had been awhile, the place still seemed to look like he remembered it. The mansion itself was four or more stories high with a block like structure, high windows accompanied that which looked out over a very spacious lawn, and areas in the back were reserved for training of troops that took place daily. The entrance was two simple doors that had a small walkway of four steps that lead to the entrance. Thin curtains on either side of the plain glass windows kept the interior hidden from being viewed. The lawn was well kept and simple, no fancy shrubbery, ponds, statues or fountains. Just a simple paved driveway leading to a large metal gate that was attached to stone walls that went around the entire property. Trees surrounded the enclosed walls of the grounds except near the entrance where there was a guard station. A simple sidewalk outside the main gate followed the walls going both directions with street lamps lighting the way along the two lane road.

"Why?" she asked as he drove on the well kept paved driveway to the front entrance.

"I knew her father and worked with him before and after he had Integra. Up till she was about, 4, or was it 5? No, just four. Anyway, I had to go away on some business and wasn't able to get back until now. I actually spaced a lot for awhile and got lost in Asia for several years. How old is she, and you?" he asked looking at her seriously.

"I'm 19 if you must know." she said crossing her arms. "She's twenty three, I think. I'm not sure."

"Thank you. I won't say anything to anyone."

"Why did you want to know my age?" she asked as he parked near the front that she pointed out.

"Truthfully, I find you a very attractive, interesting and intriguing lady. Despite the fact we've only just met. Whether anything happens is up to you. Since we'll probably be working together for quite some time, I would like to get you know you more. No offense, but I didn't want to feel like I was…robbing the cradle. You look much younger."

"I can't tell what's more weird, the fact that I believe you told me the truth or the fact everything is in my hands and that I'm considering it."

"Has any other guys you've been with, been that considerate?"

"No."

"Again, no offense, but truthfully, in this day and age, you could find someone despite what you are. There are actually humans who drink blood because they want to be vampires and have occults in American and other countries. Kinda freaky really. But when I was with Katerina, I told her point blank, what other choice did she have? Sure she could get a male vampire, but then it would be a bad idea because she didn't want to drink blood at all. Other than because of what happened to the victim, even when it was animals she drained in blood lust. With me, there was no worries. Took her a couple weeks to get used to drinking from me, but she got over it. Anyway, I'm not saying you can't find anyone to ever have a life with, but I'm a better choice and not many men would probably have been as nice and gentlemen like with you like I've been."

"Not to mention extremely blunt and truthful." she said realizing everything he meant.

"See." he said with a smile as he got out.

"The only reasons I can tell you're serious and not fooling around, I was a cop. As was my father who taught me many things." she said grabbing her bag as he pulled his large case out of the trunk and some white gift bag. "That and I can smell and sense you're not lying."

"I'm guessing the offering of blood helped a lot."

"I don't know anyone who'd offer it like that. Considering that thought, it would make sense of you being Immortal then." she said as the door opened. "Your hand has no cuts or scars."

"Then I'll leave you to think on it and you can let me know when you want company or more. I have all the time in the world."

"Cute, not." she said with a grunt. "Hello Walter."

"Miss Victoria." he said with a small bow as he let them in. "And your name sir?"

"The General. I'm actually here for an appointment to see Sir Hellsing."

Walter was surprised.

"The General?" he said cocking his head slightly in thought. "Is it really you? My, my, you haven't changed."

The two kinda looked each other over a moment.

"Oh my god. A'od!" he exclaimed giving Walter a hug that surprised the old man momentarily. "I really thought you would have retired by now! Looks like age has been kind to you."

"I hated that nickname." Walter grumbled as he hugged him back and then stepped back looking formal once again. "The years have been much kinder to you, old man."

"Yes, well. Immortality does that to a person. I didn't like that nickname either."

"You two do know each other?" Seras asked pointing.

"Indeed Miss Victoria." Walter said with a smile of warmth. "Though this, old man, who I haven't seen nor heard of in many, many years, was once a very good friend. Well, is a very good friend."

"I knew Walter when he was a teenager. And we kinda worked together some years ago along with Arthur. Still got all that speed Walter?"

"Yes, though time and less activity have shorten my capabilities, but not by much."

"We'll have to get together and talk again sometime. Swap stories."

"Yes, I look forward to it. Miss Victoria, if you would join us, Sir Integra wishes to see you."

"Yes. What do I do with this?"

"Ah, that explains the missing uniform I see." Walter said seeing the uniform in the bag. "And the ripped insignias we found at on the fifth floor. Plus your destroyed weapon."

"I would have gotten to her sooner, but there was quite a few ghouls in the way. By the time I got there…."

"My uniform was ripped and rather bloody Walter. I need sword training classes. Please don't tell Sir Integra how badly." Seras said with a tone that the General got quickly.

"Is there anything I need to know Miss Victoria?"

"No Walter. It's…..not important."

"Very well." he said setting the bag aside. "Did you do something…"

"Walter?!" the General exclaimed. "I did not take advantage of her! You know me…"

Walter laughed and then turned away walking as Seras blushed a moment.

"Very funny." the General grumbled as he crossed his arms.

"Follow me please." Walter said with a humorous smile.

The two followed him up the stairs, turned on a small section and followed up the stairs further. Down the hallway on the second floor he stopped and knocked on a door. Seconds later, he opened the door as Integra called them in.

"Miss Victoria has returned. And your appointment is here Sir Integra."

"Thank you Walter." she said standing up from behind her desk. "Wait. The man who took Seras is also my appointment?"

"I believe the best response for this situation would be, small world Sir Integra."

"I'm just a decade or so late though, right Walter."

"Yes. I do often wonder how things would have turned out if you had been here all this time."

"Walter, do you know this man?" she said seeing a smile on Walters face.

"Back in my days of youth I did Sir Integra. And for a short while with your father. In fact, you once knew him as well. Though I would be surprised if you actually remembered him."

She looked at his face intently from behind the desk as he set down his large case.

"You haven't changed much Integra. Sorry, Sir Integra." he said seeing her eyes narrow. "Last time I saw you, you were four years old. But, I do remember something about you very few people may actually know about."

He set the white gift bag on the desk in front of her and stood by the chair. Seras was standing by the other chair next to his waiting.

"What is this?" she asked only glancing at the bag.

"I'm actually here for a job. I can work for free seeing as I have plenty of money."

"That was not the question." she said crossing her arms.

"Sorry. I actually came back here to work for your father. I used to know him, before and after you were born. I'm sorry he is gone. I did not know I was coming to see you for the job. As for the bag, it is something I knew you liked as a child and that your father used to get you. I still have good connections, even like back then."

She raised an eyebrow as she peeked into the bag. Seras and Walter wondered what was in it, especially after her eyes widened. But she didn't pull what was in it out.

"Very few people know…" she said stopping suddenly and closing the bag. "The particulars in this bag. Much less some of my favorite foods."

Walter coughed lightly.

"Besides Walter of course. But he doesn't even know about this." she said seeing him raise an eyebrow.

"Not my favorite, but I did remember yours despite the many years." he said as she placed the bag in some desk drawer.

"Walter, explain how you could know him in your teenage years if he was around when I was younger."

"Forgive me Sir Integra. But that is a secret very few people know about and one that your father apparently never shared with you. It is not up to me to inform you."

"Walter…." she growled.

"He's protecting me Sir Integra. I only tell people I trust my greatest secret. Seras knows it, other than because I trust her, but because I gave her some of my blood, she bit my hand and I didn't turn. There is a, unknown amount of people out there in the world, that are Immortal. Actual Immortals. Help me here Walter." he said as Integra was giving him the crazy look.

"Is it true Sir Integra. They are able to survive being drained and cannot be turned. Plus the added benefit of surviving any injuries. Even most fatal ones."

"Vat's of acid or dropping into a lava river wouldn't qualify. Things of that nature will kill us. Saw a vampire die that way once when he got stuck on Hawaii. But the main way, is to take our heads off. It's unfortunately some stupid game that I still to this day don't understand. There is a nice light show when our heads come off, but only if another Immortal is around and you don't want to be around for it. Though I have noticed over the last couple of years not many Immortals are living in England." he said rubbing his chin in thought. "Probably the vampire troubles I've been hearing about lately."

"Father once mentioned something about Immortals existing to me, but we were interrupted and unfortunately, he never was able to finish that particular study. A vampire could feed off your kind indefinitely then?" she asked sitting down and pulling a cigar out as the other two sat down.

"Depends on how much is taken. Katerina never drained me and I usually took about two days at most to recover enough to feel normal again when she got really hungry.."

"Why does that name sound familiar Walter?"

"I am unsure Sir Integra. Perhaps she is in the history books of our library."

"She is, I forget which book has the story though. She was my wife." he said getting a reaction from Integra. "I'll just tell the whole story now so I don't have to repeat it later. The story in the book is rather vague and misconstrued, though Arthur said he wrote down everything I said about this story. Katerina was turned against her will. I was in the right place but not in the right amount of time. I quickly and rather easily killed the vampire while he was attempting to rape her. But she had already fully turned by then. Though she hated what happened and wanted me to kill her, I couldn't do it. I had seen her in that village many times and had talked to her many times as well, but we were only casual friends then. We both moved to a small cottage many miles from the village. Since she had no parents anymore or any other real family, there was no problems with the move. She refused to drink blood to the point she drove herself in a blood lust she managed to control somehow. Only drinking it from animals made her feel less of a monster. Did rather well in the meat business at that time too. I told her what I was and that I had been attacked by a vampire before. It took her a few days to finally not worry about me and to be able to drink from me when she felt the need. We had about a decade of peace together. Was even able to go to town and get what we needed without any problems. Though the food was always for me. Oh, I should mention this, Immortal blood gives a vampire immunity from the sunlight for, sometime. The hours seem to vary. For her it was six at most and she always knew when it was about to wear off. Which was an unfortunate problem on one day. Also seems to increase their healing ability quite a bit. I don't know if it helped to aid in any other powers because she barely learned any."

They said nothing as he took a deep breath.

"Some, vampire slayer came to the village once and noticed her having to take a drink from me. I think he didn't attack right away because after we left the shadows of a tall building, we were both walking in the sunlight. The towns people came the next night, took her back to the town and….burned her at the stake. I tried to save her, but she made me promise not the hurt or kill anyone." he said blinking several times before continuing. "She was…..she died happy and peacefully. I knew that by the look on her face before the flames got her. As much as I wanted to kill the villagers, I didn't. I packed my stuff and left, only to be attacked by the vampire hunter a couple hours later. Guy was a total wuss and I was glad to put his ass down. The saddest part of this story, we both went to church, sat in the back mostly. Though she avoided silver like the plague and for all those years, those people never noticed. Kinda found it strange she could drink wine, at the time anyway. Anyway, that's the story and I'd rather not repeat it. Took place….hundreds of years ago. I forget the date, sadly. Look up the book Arthur wrote for more details."

Integra took a few more puffs off the cigar before putting it out. It was very obvious on Seras's face that she felt very sorry for him. His eyes were holding back a lot of pain and tears.

"Though I was not looking for that tidbit of your life, I thank you for your candor. I must ask this though, did she have any children?"

"The unfortunate side effect of being Immortal, you can't have children. Though I've often wondered about how true that really is because new Immortals have been showing up from time to time, so someone is obviously getting…well. No reported cases so far. In case you are wondering, there is both male and female Immortals out there."

"How old are you?"

"I had heard the things Jesus was doing for the people, but I never actually met the man. Beyond that, I'm not really sure how old exactly since I lost count. I know Death, or he was one of the 4 Horsemen riding around back then. But I didn't meet the man until years later when he had grew a conscious and hated what he had done. Where this man is currently, I haven't a clue. Other than feeling when one of our kind is around, and that only happens when we are within….oh, like twenty feet, there is no way to locate our kind otherwise."

She blinked several times.

"Do you know when vampires came around or why?"

"No. Same answer if you ask about werewolves." he said shaking his head. "Arthur asked me the same thing once. Forgive my bluntness, but can we move on?"

"To what?"

"The interview for joining Hellsing. I had originally planned to join back when your father was here, officially on the books I mean, but I had to go do something in Asia for a friend and got lost for a number of years. I've only been back in England for…a couple of years now."

"I must admit your talents must be vast and great. Plus the fact you are friends with Walter, which means he must trust you. Right Walter?"

"Impeccably so Sir Integra. We even trained together at one time."

"I see no reason why you shouldn't be allowed to join our Organization. But I do have one question I must know the answer to right now. You are not Catholic are you?"

"Hell no." he said with distain. "If the next question is what do I believe in, it's more Christian based and always has been. I've done many things in my life that aren't good. Killed a lot of people, mostly because I've been in various wars. Though I have to say I've never raped anyone or plan on it. Basically, I believe he is up there and always has been and always will be."

"Then we shall not have any problem there then." she said opening her desk. "I do have some forms I need filled out first."

"Not the first time. Doubt it will be the last." he said taking them.

"Where you ever Knighted…" she said stopping as he kept writing. "I'm sorry, but I never did get your name."

"General." he said as he kept writing. "Well, I died my first death at 25, so we'll say 25 on that line. Born…I have no idea. What little I gather, it was somewhere in May. Location, not sure about that one either, but I think it was Japan. Always have liked that country a lot. Knighted, ah yeah. Been a long time since but I served under Pendragon for several years. Once he died I left and then heard later, his son Arthur took over and even was with him for awhile. To this day they still haven't gotten a replica of the Excalibur sword right. And there was no Sir Lancelot."

"Your name is General?"

"I once rose to the rank of General….um what army was that again? Wasn't Alexander. Avoid him as much as possible. He's, an Immortal, and I think he's still around too. Was it the Romans?" he asked himself as he kept writing. "No, it was the Spartans! Those people knew how to kick some serious ass. Some of the finest warriors you'd ever find. Sort of like the Klingons. Anyway, the king found out what I was during a fight, I was on their side as a secondary army and figured I was a blessing from the gods. I was made into an honorary Spartan and about ten years later, part of which I had to endure hard training to see if I was worthy of being called a honorary Spartan, I was made General over a large group. I still to this day hate being called sir…."

"Ah, yes. That was what you hated." Walter said nodding.

"Yes. You don't call me that Walter and I won't call you your nickname. Old man I can live with. Anyway, since I hated it even then, I told everyone to just call me General. It happened so often and for so long, I eventually forgot my real name. The King always called me General too, never by my first name anymore. I don't even remember what it started with. But I've grown rather attached to General. Works well with the car I have too."

"Very well. Is there any people I should know about that might try to find you?"

"If you mean any sort of family, no. Last time I adopted, was many years ago. I haven't even tried to have that luxury in, oh my." he said as he realized he'd been living alone for a couple hundred years. "We'll just say a very long time. I do have friends in many countries, but nothing to worry about."

"Are you absolutely sure?" she said looking over the papers.

"Basically they are people I know, like the book store employees I see in town when I go in a couple times or more a month. I have a much bigger collection of books than even you do Sir Integra."

"I don't doubt it. Now, seeing as you state you've been around for many years, and most likely have a more than sizable bank account, or something close, we will forgo the payment issues as you said and move on. I would prefer it if you stayed here for however long the length of your employment is. Be that a few years to the rest of my life or if something comes up, a week. Are you willing to do that?"

"Sure. I have no problem with that. I do request that no one tampers with my car."

"You will be able to park it with my private collection to ensure its safety. I happen to have a few American Muscle cars as well. Now, can you tell me what that is?"

"My primary weapon of choice. It used to be a different sword until I watched a very nice DVD based on a, game made and sold in Japan." he said lifting the thick case onto his lap. "Took quite a bit of money and help to have this made and then I had it silver plated because of the different vampire attacks I started hearing about. I have a few of these actually."

(A.N. Yes, I know the movie I am going to refer to in a moment didn't come out till years later, but because I really wish I had this sword in real life and can't, my OC has it and it being a Fanfic and alternate universe story anyway, I'm saying the movie came out early. Considering a few crossovers I am putting into this, those graphics would be possible at the year this take place. Just go with it.)

He opened the top and it showed a very large dagger. Big kinda gear like looking hilt and a long handle. He flipped it up and another longer sword was under that. He flipped it until seven swords were shown. And then explained they all combined into one large sword, which he could demonstrate. She shook her head and asked him to go on saying Seras had already reported on what it looked like.

(A.N. AGAIN. The sword he carries is the sword Cloud Strife used in the Final Fantasy Advent Children DVD. WATCH it if you haven't. Seriously!)

"I also have these, which use a variety of bullets. Plus are DNA encoded handles so only I can use them." he said pulling the two extra long barreled 45 caliber designed, 50 caliber pistols from his hips and setting them on the desk. "They are currently unloaded and hand built by me personally. I've had them for many years."

"Very nice craftsman ship General. What are they made from?" Walter asked looking one over.

"Titanium. With silver plating. That was because I wanted them to look shiny on purpose. Though I could probably use them to beat a ghoul or vampire to death, I don't plan on it. They don't work well when clogged with junk."

"Walter will provide you with the ammo needed. I am quite sure you do not use blessed silver ammo."

"Silver, I have before. Blessed, no. But my sword was made by a holy man and blessed silver was used and it was all cooled in holy water if that helps any. I had it done at the time because there was a werewolf after me and shooting a gun would have attracted unwanted attention."

"It does immensely. Fortunately, we have no missions for tonight and no Freaks have been sighted thankfully. So you have the night off. Walter will show you around…right." she said seeing him give a certain look. "You've been here before. In that case, Walter will show you to your room and help you with any questions you may have. Miss Victoria and I need to have a private talk."

"Thank you Sir Integra." the General said bowing. "I'll see you later Seras."

She nodded and then he followed Walter out with his case as he asked what a Freak was. Integra watched him leave with a raised eyebrow.

"Miss Victoria. Is there anything I need to know about this man that wasn't said? Anything you feel you need to add?"

"Not that I can think of Sir Integra. He was very kind. A perfect gentleman actually, despite my condition. He didn't even know he was coming to see you. I mean I told him the address to where to drop me off and that's when he told me he was headed here. From there, he learned at the front gate that you were in charge and that your father wasn't."

"I see. Though it is very vague, I do have a few memories that have since resurfaced with his arrival. Nothing I can describe very well, nor plan on. But he was a good friend to me then from what little I remember. Anything else?"

"There is one thing, though I'm not sure if it is important. Back when I was still just a copper, I once came across a file with his name on it. Though the file was big, I mean really thick, none of the crimes were serious. In fact, he only had one."

"What sort of crime are we talking about here?"

"Mass speeding violations. At the time, there was a couple hundred. He said the reason he was still driving was because of his donations to the police and the fact there was little if any crashes or accidents. He still gets the tickets when caught and pays them. I'm actually surprised we didn't get pulled over on the way here."

"Hmm. I will have to ask him about that later. A background check will reveal more details." she said setting the paperwork aside.

Seras waited as she knew Integra was thinking from behind the intertwined hands in front of her mouth. She counted slowly in her head as she wondered if she was about to punished and was caught off guard at the question that came since it was totally unexpected. She and Integra really hadn't gotten off on the right foot to begin with since Integra didn't like her because of her choice even though she wasn't drinking people or trying.

"Miss Victoria. Contrary to what people may say, or think, even though I never got the chance to flirt or date, much less care to, I do know enough about men to notice when they are flirting or show interest in a woman. Be it lustful in nature or true attraction. He showed much interest in that small statement before he left."

"Yes sir. I know."

"You do?" Integra asked not moving but kinda surprised.

Seras's background check showed she had a father for a cop and a very loving mother. They were a good surviving family and then tragedy struck. Despite the violence that Seras witness as a child and the trauma she got from being shot, she grew up well and even joined the police force with no problems. Trained rather well and was good with weapons, though kinda a coward in some ways. Hence her old group calling her 'Kitten'. Despite being the only woman in that group, they treated her with respect, probably because she not only earned it, but because of her father being a cop. The only reason that Integra even pointed out the fact that this General showed interest was because Seras's back ground checks also involved her personal life. She had one, not much in some ways, but she did. But no boyfriends. Usually working and hanging with her team mates was about the only time she hung out with any guys. Obviously the poor girl was a virgin because she was turned, but Integra wondered if Seras knew anything about being, hit on. The background check didn't delve very deep, but deep enough she felt the need to ask.

"Yes sir. He told me the story about his wife much earlier today. Though not as graphic as now. He…how can I put this without it sounding bad? He expressed his interest in pursuing a relationship if and only if I wanted one with him. Otherwise it would stay as two friends."

"There's something else isn't there?" she asked noticing a strange tone, kinda sad and happy at the same time.

Along with something else she couldn't understand, that was until Alucard entered the room through one of the walls. It was then that she realized something was up because a small voice was telling her Seras was holding back.

"Alucard. This is a private conversation."

"She is my fledging Master. Very little about her life is private to me now." he said making Seras fidget. "But she is holding back part of their conversation. The General does make a very, logical argument about the subject."

"You know him as well Alucard?"

"It has been many years Master. But he visited my castle a long time ago when I was know as, a Count." he said with a small smile and chuckle.

"Is there anyone else here who knows him?" she asked sitting back.

"I do not believe so Master."

"Miss Victoria. Care to elaborate on what Alucard means?"

"He….did not mean it to be hurtful, despite how much it did. But it is the truth and I have to accept that fact. Being what I am, I have very few if any choices if I ever wish to have any close relationship with anyone. Most people will run away or try to kill me. With him, he will do neither and even will offer his blood."

"It has been many years since I have met any other Immortal Master. Even before I was imprisoned in the dungeon. They are very private except amongst their own kind. Where they killed each other as part of some, game. I still do not understand what this game is. Though I once was able to feed off a Immortal, I wasn't able to drink enough to learn as much as I wished."

"Is there a point to this Alucard?"

"There was things he didn't say you should know. Mostly because you did not ask them, but I read his mind the entire time. Medical research has been done on the few that have been captured but there is no way to duplicate whatever it is that makes them Immortal. Most Immortals fear vampires, even more are reluctant to offer their blood for research or otherwise. For him to do this, would be as if you offered yours to me on a daily basis. Though not in a turning you to a vampire sense."

"I see. And his intentions are?"

"Towards my fledgling? Purer than snow. Though he hopes for more even if it takes years. I doubt he wanted this information known, but it has been even longer for him than me with a woman. And it had been many years for me even before your father locked me away."

That caught both woman off guard. Alucard was captured before she was born so that had to mean he was off somewhere being an unrestricted monster. Which meant things she quickly shook from her mind.

"Or did you mean that question to have a different answer Master?" he asked with a sly smile.

"Does he have hidden intentions here? And if not, are you going to interfere with him wanting to have a relationship with, your fledging?"

"None that I could find. He is, bored. He did promise to help the Hellsing family at some point, though he was lost in Asia. Hmm, I forgotten about that hidden tribe. You humans survive even in the harshest and most treacherous climates. I had also thought all the dragons were gone too. Though he should be asking my permission, like a gentlemen of his stature normally would, he doesn't even know I am here. I do not plan on interfering."

"Do not plan?"

"Unless he started doing something to her that I would not like and she didn't stop him, however, I can't think of anything that he could or would do in that way. Despite everything he has done over his many years, he is more at peace with his past than some of the soldiers we have employed."

"Interesting. And the promise to my father? Took him awhile to get back even though he's been in this country for a couple years."

"His promise was to Abraham, not your father. Not specifically."

That startled her.

"You are dismissed Miss Victoria."

"Sir." she said getting up and heading for the door.

"Welcome back police girl."

"Yes Master. Thank you for not interfering with that aspect of my life as well."

"Miss Victoria.."

"Yes sir?" she asked halfway out the door.

"Glad to see you made it back home and fine."

"Thank you sir." she said feeling more at peace than before as she walked out.

"Are you really going to leave them alone?"

"I may bug and irritate the General, as I do you sometimes Master, otherwise, I have no interest in my fledglings love life."

"You're not going to kill him at some point either because he'll just come back are you?"

Alucard grinned wildly as he laughed and faded away.

"Days like this I wish I could read minds." she muttered.

"So Walter, how's life been?"

"Very interesting. Sir Integra has been a very gracious and good leader."

"Don't tell her I said this, but she kinda looks, um….what's a polite word I can use.." he muttered as they traveled further into the mansion.

"I have heard the term, tight assed more than once. Plus Iron Maiden and Miss Scary Face."

"Rather rude, but I don't know her very well." he said with a frown. "I was going for, uptight and stressed out. I think Seras told me when she took over, but I don't recall."

"Her father died leaving the Organization to her at 14. Unfortunately, I was away at the time and her uncle tried to kill her. Alucard saved her and she killed her uncle. From that day forward, she had to grow up way too early."

"Damn, that sucks. If only I had stayed, I could have been a better help. She used to trust me more. Now she doesn't even remember me."

"A consequence of age."

"I'm probably not reaching, but I'm guessing she's never…um…"

"Unfortunately, unless she suddenly, falls in love at first sight, the Hellsing Organization will end with her. Though the Queen has been, bugging her for years about finding a man to ensure there is an heir."

"Ah. Something tells me she probably doesn't even know what romance is. I knew she loved her father a lot and that he loved her more than the world. Does she wear the same clothes her father wears because of that? I know she used to like dresses, as least it seemed that way back then."

"It is personal."

"I won't ask anymore." he said as they stopped outside a room that wasn't all that far from the front door, even though on the second level. "Wait, this is the room I had before."

"Yes. She may not remember you staying here, but I do. You left very few items here, which were put into storage. We can get them later if you wish. Otherwise, the room is already furnished."

"Hmm. Most of my important stuff is in a mansion back near Colorado Springs. Several well paid people keep watch on it. Been, a few years since I've been back. Though I make calls at least once a month."

"If I remember correctly, you had several mansions around the world and a castle or two up north." he said as the General placed the sword case on the top of a table at the end of the king sized bed.

"I did. Sold a lot off. Got tired of burglars and them dying to get priceless items and treasures. Plus, easier to avoid trouble and people looking for you if you only have one place to live. I do have places around the globe I can go to stay, if I need to hide, but mostly it is with people I know or under another name. Hey, I can keep my guns on me right?"

"Of course General." he said as they left. "I see you got a new leather coat. Even back when we first met, you had one."

"I've always liked leather, even back in the medieval era. Though this coat is lined with a thin metal that I sprayed with a special coating that protects me from most attacks. I had it made when I was doing mercenary work for some people back in the early eighties. Getting shot sucks."

"Isn't the high neck collar illegal in those fights with your kind?"

"It would be, but I avoid the fights as much as possible. The game is completely stupid and this idea of something called the Source is probably just as dumb. I usually knock my opponent out after I tell them to leave me alone. Depending on how bad they come back after me depends on if I have to kill them. With the invention of the video game system, I love Immortality. So many games coming out and a normal life, I wouldn't have enough time to even get through half of them. Not to mention all the Star Trek books I want to read. Plus other books I'm also reading."

"Yes, I tend to read them myself sometimes."

"Walter, are you a closet Trekky?"

"No. Sir Integra knows I am a fan as do some of the troops."

"Hmm. Oh, where is Seras's room?"

He told him the directions and then after a few moments of pausing, which the General knew Walter was thinking about asking him some question, possibly about his past, he was surprised when it was actually a favor Walter wanted. And he was happy to grant it.

A few hours later, the men were off training. Walter was back helping Integra after giving the General different ammos and giving him free use of the armory, as long as he didn't destroy it. He did to a different place many, many years ago with Walter. The General complained about that only being an accident, but assured the worried butler he wouldn't mix anything without him being there. The General walked around looking at odd things, checking the place out noticing some things the same from what he remembered and others that weren't. He had went out and looked at the troops, but didn't stay long, felling he might be more of a distraction or end up having to go through training before he even had a chance to get used to the place. Seras wasn't in her room at the time he looked so he was exploring more. The only problem he was having was there was a very nagging feeling he was being watched and more than once, could swear that someone was breathing down his neck. The cameras were watching, he noticed, but not specifically him. He had the actual feeling someone was there, but he didn't see anyone and every time he got that feeling on his neck, he spun around to find no one there. He did ask a guard he came across if there was other guards walking around, like one shadowing him. The man laughed and told him good day before walking off while still laughing, realizing quickly that something was up, probably something Walter was doing, or having someone do. Seeing his watch said it was a good hour or so later since he checked her room, he decided to go back. The feeling of being followed continued and more than once he used his small mirror to look behind him discreetly, but didn't notice anything. Though he did hear another guard off down some other hall laughing. The feeling continued until he got into the dungeon area slash basement. He figured on asking Walter or Integra later why it was that Seras had to sleep down here since Katerina never slept underground. They slept together in bed in a room that had one window, always closed during the night so she wouldn't be burned in the morning. Maybe it was because Seras was so young, in both ways, or because she wasn't drinking Immortal blood. He chalked it up to his blood being what made his former wife very different, but decided to ask later anyway as he knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me. The General. Can I come in?"

"Sure." she said after a moment.

Seras was sitting on her bed, that was also like a very large coffin. The lid came down during the day to allow her to sleep in peace and for protection. There was a dresser by the bed, a small table for two with one chair only. She was wearing another uniform and leaning against the bed post.

"Nice bed. Everything ok?"

"Just thinking."

"I'm not bothering you am I? I just came to see if you wanted to do anything or talk."

"No. I could use the company." she said waving at the chair. "I don't have any friends much less anyone to talk to around here that wants to just talk. Captain Ferguson is always busy and training. Walter is either with Sir Integra or doing some order of hers. Considering my real age, I'm actually alone. Master tends to avoid me too."

"Wait, say that again." he said leaning on the table.

"Which part?"

"The last part. I didn't really catch that."

"The Master tends to avoid me part?"

"I….I thought, you were like…"

"Your former wife." she said sadly.

"Not like that." he said seeing the pain cross her face. "That's not why I'm interested in you. Though the vampire part is part of it. If you weren't, I'd still be interested. One way of looking at it is we'd never have to worry about either of us growing old. That was the plan for…." he said trailing off. "Anyway, I had thought that you were saved like I did for her. Or something close to that. How did you….."

"What's wrong?" she asked as he looked behind him sharply.

"No wonder those guards laughed at me and I kept feeling like someone was breathing down my neck." he growled. "I have been being shadowed!"

A dark laugh made the General get up quickly and pull his guns.

"No wait!" she said grabbing for the guns, which he quickly held in the air.

"You can't touch these." he said seeing her flinch and then look at the wall. "They have silver on them."

"I forgot." she said looking at her hands a moment. "Thanks for the warning."

"My, my. She hasn't even said yes and already you're being overprotective."

"Master." she muttered embarrassed as Alucard entered the room through the wall.

"Your name?" he asked pointing one weapon at his head and the other at his heart. "Walter gave me new ammo which is loaded right now. And I can move like Walter. Plus, these are explosive tips."

"My, my General. Has it been that long that you don't even remember me? Must be my new outfit." he said smiling as he looked at the General over his rims.

"Not coming up with anything. Whoever you are, you must be okay since you didn't kill her." he said putting his guns away after a few twirls. "That and you have sealed gloves on that very few people in the world know how to do. I heard mutterings about a powerful pet vampire belonging to Hellsing. But I dismissed it as rumor."

"Hey!"

"I saved you remember." he said sitting down slowly. "And you don't seem anything like a pet Seras. And no offense again Seras, but you really don't have a lot of power."

She gave him a glare but it went away quickly.

"Yes, he did police girl. If you don't drink, you will get even weaker and not have the power you should be in control of already. Integra will not be happy if you attack one of her men or some innocent out of blood lust." he said scolding her. "Drink."

"Yes Master." she said sitting on the bed again and looking at the floor.

"Going to give a name?"

"But that would spoil all the fun." he said with a smile that suddenly went away. "Hmm, Master is calling. So much for my fun. Better keep a watch out General, I may end up behind you at any time."

He laughed lightly and backed out of the room through the wall.

"Glad he's restrained."

"I heard that." a voice said.

"You were suppose to!" he yelled back. "Is there anyone here that is normal? Integra doesn't count."

"Other than the troops then, not bloody likely." she muttered.

"Sounds like something from a comic book. Horror style obviously." he said getting a smile. "Are you ok?"

"Master….is not much of a, teacher."

"Who is he?"

"Master Alucard? I don't know much about his past. Other than some stories." she said looking up to see him turning pale. "General…."

"Dracula. Great." he said closing his eyes and rubbing his face. "Oh Seras. Of all the vampires….you had to get him. The No Life King himself. Wow."

"A…." she began.

"On the bright side, you don't have to worry in a decade or so. By then, you'll understand your abilities better and have very few equals. Other than, Alucard. I need to talk to Integra later about this. Something tells me that he's going to harass me every so often."

"Probably."

"Well, that scare is out of the way. Want to stay here and talk for awhile or go watch a movie or something? I'd take you out to dinner, but technically, it's already here."

She laughed catching the joking tone in his voice. The smile also was a dead give away at what he was meaning.

"If you can't laugh at your own condition, then why laugh at all huh?" she said sitting more at the end of the bed near the table. "So, what should we talk about?"

"What do you want to talk about?"

"How about some place you wish you could take me to. If we could go out on a date. Integra does trust me somewhat, but I doubt she'd let us go anywhere, even if there was somewhere to go that I could go to."

"We could go many places, around this area anyway. That is if you had a drink or so off me."

"I'm not ready." she said slowly as she looked away. "And I'd rather not talk about it."

"Alright, let's see then. There's so many places. How about a place you would like to see and could see, provided we was able to ever go there sometime. Though considering vampires and traveling on water, it would be difficult. Unless you start drinking from me at some point. There's this island that you can get to by plane or by boat. Beach's are long and sandy. Ocean stretches as far as the eye can see. Farther for you of course which would be perfect if we was there. If you're there at the right time of night, better if the moon is as close to the Earth as possible for the year, you can watch the moon come up slowly, so bright and looking so close you could sail out and touch it."

"That sounds so romantic." she said with slightly dreamy eyes. "Maybe it is because I am a vampire, but the moon seems so much more prettier than before."

"Considering how long we both are capable of living, I'll try to get us there sometime. Anyway, there is a story behind how I found this place. Um…oh, ah….no, longer than that. Just over a hundred years ago, or was it two hundred, whatever, is when this story takes place. But I have been there several times before. Pictures can't do it justice, but I will try to remember to bring them. So, those many years ago….."
