The Crimson Stain

It had been a very calm month for the Hellsing Organization until it happened. The missions as of late had been calming down thanks to both Alucard and Seras' diminishing of the FREAKS, and although it was boring for the two mentioned vampires it was a relief that the threat of the chipped vampires was finally disappearing. Sir Integra had finally listened to the Queen's advice and began seeking for a compatible man that could produce the best Heir for the Hellsing Organization. The loss of Walter had been a huge blow, and on top of that the only men left to serve were the Wild Geese, without their leader Pip to encourage them though, they were pretty useless. It was also a relief that Iscariot XIII had thoroughly been embarrassed during the Nazi invasion of London and was now no longer as big a threat as they once were. Things seemed to be going pretty well for Hellsing...until…

"Oh bloody hell! You have got to be freaking kidding me!"

The petite blond Draculina was stunned. It was just there; right there. Something so innocent and normal, she shouldn't have been shocked. But she was. Right there; right dab in the middle of her pink sheets was a crimson stain so dark that it couldn't have been anything but her period. She was flabbergasted. How on earth do you explain that a vampire is on her period?! She was terrified to even think about what her Master would say. He'd probably laugh at her and then torment her to death with it. She was also afraid to tell Sir Integra. Who would believe that a vampire can have a menstruation cycle too?

So she gathered her sheets and her toilettes and rushed to the bathroom. There, she desperately scrubbed at her sheets in the sink as well as prepare herself for the possible missions for that night hoping the entire time that her Master wouldn't find out about her little secret. When her sheets were clean, she looked through her toilette bag and was relieved to find that she had both pads and tampons in there from when she had been human. She grabbed a tampon and finished getting ready.

When she was positive that her Master wasn't anywhere nearby, she created a portal that led straight back to her room. From there, she quickly remade her coffin, and put her toilette bag back in her wardrobe. What she hadn't noticed was the pair of crimson eyes that had been watching her in the shadows the entire time. Alucard was insane, but he was no idiot. He had been awake since the moment he had sensed Seras' "issue."

Vampires could not reproduce, but he knew what this time was. It was a sign that his Police Girl was ready to be mated. He had been aware that one day she would "bleed" and he would have to let her go, but he didn't want to. She was his by right, and had been since he stumbled upon her in Cheddar. She had been loyal through everything and she had no desire to leave no matter how many times he offered her. He didn't care about her so much in the beginning, he would not deny that but his naïve Police Girl had grown on him through the time they had spent together. Letting loose his trademark Cheshire grin, he opened a portal that would take him back to his dark room without the notice of his fledgling.

Seras continued to prepare herself for any mission that could possibly take place later that night. She could feel the cramps now, and she wondered how she could have possibly slept through it. She also stuffed some extra tampons in her pocket in case she had any emergencies. Hopefully it wouldn't be that extreme, but a girl never knows. Once finished, she opened a mini refrigerator that had been a gift from Walter, and pulled out a blood pack. She plopped down on the chair in front of her table and slurped down the pack. She missed Walter. He had been so sweet to her unlike her Master. He always had a smile on for her, and not the psychotic one her Master owned. He also would listen to her complain about her Master's harshness towards her.

She also missed Pip. She had never found him to be nearly as attractive as her Master, but his company, although more perverted than anyone she had ever known, was dearly missed. He had been a good friend even if he had harbored romantic feelings towards her. But she knew that he was always with her now that she had drank his blood, and his memories would always be with her until the day something finally managed to kill her.

Letting out a frustrated sigh, Seras grabbed another blood pack and downed it like an alcoholic does to liquor. She noticed that the more blood she drank, the less her stomach pains bothered her. She was glad that there was at least one way to ease her discomfort. Human medicine like Midol or Pamprin would refuse to work for her body now, and she had worried that she would be stuck with the discomfort of cramps until it had finally ended.

She wondered if she should really tell her Master. She had never heard of a vampire having a period. But the thought of his torment, and his disgust bothered her and she decided to not ask him after all. Maybe she would one day, but at the moment the thought of even attempting to do so terrified her. She knew she was in love with him. She had known the moment he proposed to turn her into a vampire when she was dying in his arms in Cheddar. But the man still scared her. He was like a loose cannon. One never knew what he would do one moment to the next. So the thought of any contempt from him was horrifying to the poor Draculina.

Suddenly, she felt a jolt go through the mental line that connects her to her Master. As she opened up the mental link, his deep voice filled her mind blocking all other thoughts.

"Police Girl, we have another Mission. Be in Master's Office before the clock strikes 10."

"Yes, my Master."

Seras didn't have to check at the clock to know what time it was, but old habits die hard. She had less than two minutes to arrive at Sir Integra's Office. She hurriedly grabbed her stuff and opened a portal to her meeting place.

To be continued.

Author's Note: I am so sorry for the long delay! I got caught up in my second semester of college that I haven't really been able to concentrate on any plot bunnies. But now that I am out until August, I have plenty of time to set them loose and concentrate. The title will most likely change, but I couldn't think of anything awesome at the time. I also promise that this will be an Alucard x Seras fic, and I'm still not sure if I want to make it steamy or not. But to be on the safe side I'm going to rate it as T for now. This will also be my first chapter story for Hellsing, and to be honest I'm not sure where this idea came from other than it hit me one minute and the next thing I know it's already 1 am and had 3 missed calls from my fiancé. I swear to you I will write more to this asap. Cause we all hate those little cliffhangers.
