KITG: Okay i have re-uploaded this chapter and made a few changes :)

Bullet from hell, shield of Heaven

The smoke curled from her cigar as she took in the ruins that were London. She still found it hard to believe that two years had passed since that day. She stood in her home, or what was left of the old, the rebuilding was almost complete. Hellsing Manor would be whole once again but here and there you could see the old next to the new, and unfortunately the new out weighed the old.

Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing was once again where she should be; she had been used as a scapegoat. Imprisoned in the Tower of London for a year and a half. It had taken them that long to find out it was a set up. Would have been even longer if it hadn't been for Alucard and Seras. Seras in particular, she had gone deep undercover, her police training coming to the fore. She will always remember the moment Eclipse, the Queens personal guard, came to release her.

The large metal door creaked open to admit a figure as tall as Alucard. He had long blonde hair that had a black hair tie half way down his back so it was in a loose ponytail. He was a handsome man; gaunt chiselled face but his eyes were the real enigma about him. They looked like liquid gold. He wasn't a vampire that was for sure. Alucard had confirmed that for her. It seemed that Alucard knew Eclipse though, when Integra had asked all Alucard would say was he wasn't sure. As if there was an echo of someone he knew inside the man, or that the man was hiding his true self.

"Sir Integra, you about ready to get out of this dinghy place?" His voice had such a sweet relaxing tone. He almost purred or sang. It was hard to distinguish but for Integra it reminded her of her father.

"Sir Eclipse, yes I am quite ready to resume my duties" Integra raised her tied wrists which Eclipse quickly released. Then with a small smirk he pulled out a Cuban cigar. Integra couldn't help the small snort being released. "You do realise they are illegal do you not?"

"Well, you were already accused of treachery against the crown….so I thought it couldn't get worse" At this Integra had to laugh as they walked up the stone steps..

A shadow of the same smile crossed her lips, it would seem Eclipse was her most adamant defender to the queen. Standing up for her in front of the round table members. Sir Westworth it would seem had been vying to take control of the Hellsing organisation. Even saying he would Control the Hellsing pet Alucard. Integra gave a small smirk; thinking of what Alucard would have done to the arrogant fop if he had tried.

"I would have dismembered him slowly, relishing his blood. Does the please you master?" came the silky, seducing voice out of the shadows.

"Alucard, report" Integra barked out, walking to sit back behind her desk.

"The target is silenced, limited casualties.

"And Seras?"

"Nothing as of yet" his tone was almost concerned.

"If I didn't know any better Alucard, I'd say you were concerned." Integra watched his face to see for and slip of his demeanour. But he had his amber tinted glasses on; his eyes were the real key to his emotions.

"Heh, no she can handle herself now." Alucard leaned against the wall in the shadows near her desk.

"Yes of course" Integra thought to herself, Seras Victoria was now a full fledged Vampire, she had taken the blood of a living being of her own free will. She had been freed of Alucard, which had caused her a moment's concern. What would Seras do with her new found freedom? Would she start to kill and drink innocents? Integra needn't have worried. Seras stayed loyal to Alucard and whom ever he followed. Plus she liked Sir Integra and the Hellsing organisation. She was often heard saying that she considered them to be her family.

The temperature in the room dropped suddenly, announcing the arrival of Seras. She walked out from a portal just like her master. She nodded to Integra in respect before talking.

"Sir Integra, the mission was a success. The information is here" Seras handed over a folder, inside was notes on what she had seen and a CD that contained surveillance footage she had acquired.

"Well done Seras. That will be all for the both of you tonight. It's almost dawn" Integra turned from her servants. Most people would never turn there back on a Vampire. But then again Integra was not most people.

With a nod on Seras's part and a Smirk on Alucard's, both vampires left her presence via their own portals. Sera's headed straight to her room, she stopped in momentary shock to see Alucard leaning back in her chair with his feet upon her table. He had pushed his coat over the back of the chair. So the chair was between him and his coat, it pooled around the chair like a waterfall of blood.

"Master?"

"Police Girl, I am no longer your master." Alucard replied, he was looking down as he spoke, his hat hiding his face.

"Well, when you stop calling me Police Girl, I'll stop calling you Master" She smiled as she walked past him. Seras went straight to her bed that became her coffin at the touch of a button. She lay upon the soft silk sheets ready to sleep the day away.

"But where would the fun be in that Police Girl?" Alucard's voice dripping with promise and full of self-confidence only a true immortal could produce.

"Exactly Master" she drew out the last word like a caress. She then pressed the button to lower the top of the coffin. Darkness surrounded her as she made herself comfortable. The Coffin was the size of a double bed…, which was a good thing as Seras turned over to find herself cuddled against Alucard. "Master!"

"What's wrong Police Girl?" you could practically see the smirk in his voice.

"Master, what are you doing in my coffin? Get out!" Seras started to push him to the side of the coffin, knowing he would phase through.

"What's wrong Police Girl?" this time the tone was different, concern being paramount. She looked into his eyes; obviously he must have left his hat and sunglasses outside. She stilled a moment, no longer trying to push him from the coffin.

"What do you mean? Nothing is wrong" Seras was confused, one for the fact that Alucard was showing concern. And two as to what he thought that something was wrong.

"Do not lie to me Seras. You have not been resting during the day" she could see his red eyes looking at her in the darkness of her coffin.

"I'm in my coffin master, I am resting"

"You maybe in your coffin but you have not been resting. You seem distracted, it took you longer than normal to get the information our master asked you to gather." His eyes narrowed as he looked deeply into hers.

"It's nothing Alucard" Seras turned over, her back now to her sire. So she did not see Alucard's right eyebrow rise at Seras using his name. He lay there a moment just looking at her back. He could feel the unrest in her; true the connection of Master and fledgling was broken. But he was still her sire so there was a connection there that would never die.

He just felt, letting her feelings wash over him. Loss, fear, anger, guilt. All these tore through her like a knife. Unfortunately, because she was now a full vampire, it made it harder for him to look inside her mind. He could not see what plagued her so. Alucard chose the only option for him to address this issue.

"I'm sure I could find ways to tire you out Police Girl" his voice slick and seducing as he wrapped his arms around the sleek body, she stiffened a moment as on hand came to rest on her left breast, while his left hand rested on her stomach.

This all lasted a couple of seconds before Seras elbowed him in his stomach; he gave an "Oof" before Seras creating a portal pushed him out of the coffin. He landed on the floor hard, looking up he saw the shocked face of Walter whom had just walked in with Seras's donated blood ration.

"If I'm not going to let Garner do that, what makes you think I'll let you Master?" Came Sera's muffled voice from within the coffin "After all, he's handsome, kind, brings me flowers….he's not a sick, twisted, ancient corpse"

Alucard glared at the coffin before turning to glare at Walter whom was trying to hold in his laughter. Then Alucard got the smirk that sent those that knew him running, he exercised his will on her mind he pictured Garner walking up to her flowers in his hand. His hat hid his face, he came closer razing his head…to have the face of a warthog.

"MASTER!"

Alucard's laughter rang through the manor as he went to his own coffin.

"Seras! Seras sweet heart, where are you?" A voice so sweet that it could only be one who loves you.

"I'm here mommy" a young child, no older than 6 comes running into the room. Her hair in pigtails as her bright blue eyes shone in the sunlight. So full of life and promise.

"Come on sweet heart, time for breakfast" the beautiful woman spoke again, her blonde hair catching the sunlight making it look like her hair was aflame. She guided the small child to her seat at the table, the young one leaning over to kiss the other person in the room.

"Morning daddy"

"Good morning poppet. How's my little police girl?" The large man ruffled the young ones hair. He was a strong handsome man, his dark brown hair in a short police haircut

"Silly daddy, I'm not a police girl"

"Not yet, but you will be" a father laughed.

The happy picture was broken by hard pounding on the front door, followed by the sound of splintering wood as the door gave way. Police intermixing with the fathers will to protect his family as he directed his wife and child upstairs. The child runs before the mother as colours fade to black and white.

The sound of arguing as a father tries to stop those who have trespassed on his home, the quick repeat of gunfire accompanied by a cry of pain as a loving father falls. Slatted darkness as a child looks out from a closet, the phone clutched tightly in her hands at her mothers orders. The voice on the other end, asking what emergency services you requires.

The view forever slatted as the women who bore you into this world tries to keep you there, you watch as she is thrown to the floor he cries echoing the around the one place you always felt safe. But that illusion will be forever shattered.

They try to have their way with the mother you love as her clothes are torn from her, one passes so close to you in your hiding place you're sure your heart stops. The something inside you snaps, the need to protect a loved one. You run out, grabbing anything that comes to hand, a fork. You run at those kneeling beside your mother, arm raised with the weapon as it swings down in a child's arch. Metal meets jelly as it plunges into the mans eye. He screams, firing blindly as you feel searing pain in your stomach…maybe you ate too much ice cream.

The welcoming call of sirens that always heralds your father. Daddy was coming he would save mommy. The gun screams again silencing the screams and begging of another for the final time.

They flee past you, the painting on the men's arms glimpsed in a second. You stumble to your feet to look at your mother, the black and white tainted with crimson red as it pools beneath a body. "Find daddy" your mind screams "Daddy can fix anything"

So you run and fall from the room across the hall, to the top of the stairs. And there is daddy sat on the stairs you run to him, call him, shake him.

To find daddy is just as broken as mommy and all your screaming cannot bring them back…

"Nooo!" Seras shot up in her coffin her head hitting the lid with such force the thud reverberated around the room. "Bloody hell!"

"Are you okay Miss Victoria?" Came Walters voice outside the coffin, Seras just laid back looking at the lid of the coffin then with a heavy sigh she pressed the remote to raise it. The candlelight flickered as she rose smoothly as if she was lighter than air.

"I'm fine Walter" She walked over to her wardrobe, the sight of it causing a small shiver to pass down her spine. No longer did Seras wear that ill-fitting Hellsing uniform. She still wore a tight shirt, but now it was black, as was her tight black leather trousers. Black Doc Martins were upon her feet, but what completed the ensemble was the ankle length black leather coat.

She pulled this over her shoulders. With her back to Walter the Hellsing sealing symbol was clear on the back, it looked as though it was painted in blood, the bright crimson red catching the candlelight. This symbol unlike her master did not seal her; she wore it to show she was loyal.

"Police girl, our master calls us" Alucard called Seras in her mind. She turned to Walter with a shadow of her bright smile she usually wore for him.

"Miss Victoria…" Walter indicated her eyes, like all vampires Seras now gave no reflection in a mirror. Seras raised her black-gloved hand to her eyes, seeing it come away with blood. She looked to Walter as her defences crumbled a moment. "Oh Miss Victoria"

Walter folded the slim vampire to his form in a fathers embrace, an embrace she had missed for so long. Walter gently stroked her hair as she cried just nestled close to him, she did not cry as her vampiric pride would not allow it she just enjoyed the moment before withdrawing she looked at Walter, he gave her the old butler smile before pulling out a handkerchief to dab at her eyes. The White fabric now stained with her bloody tears.

"There, like an angel"

"Thank you Walter" Seras leaned forward and gave him a kiss on his cheek before taking her ration of blood before passing through a portal to Sir Integra's office.

Integra looked up as Seras walked from her portal to stand beside Alucard. She was drinking her blood like it was some child's Capri-sun. Alucard looked at her with proud eyes that she had actually come to the meeting drinking blood in front of Integra, and some jealousy that he hadn't thought of it first.

"Seras Victoria!"

"Sorry sir, I guess master is rubbing off on me" Seras stored the empty blood pouch in her pocket.

"Great that's just what I need, two psychopathic vampires."

"You're orders my master?"

"There have been some deaths at the dockside of the Thames. All have had their blood drained. This is another pest control. Seek and destroy all FREAKS you find"

"Yes my master" Alucard and Seras bowed as they phased through the floor.

Integra looked back to the surveillance Sera's had gained of the drug ring. One picture showed a man in a very expensive tailored black suit, he had a walking Cain, though it was clearly just for show. Pinned upon the breast of his jacket as a gold cross, it was upside-down with a snake curling up it, the snake was obviously diamond encrusted.

That was his symbol; it was on everything he peddled, Coke, cocaine, blood. It was his calling card. But more notably he had been stamping his mark on FREAK chips he was selling. But unfortunately he was well connected, don't get Integra wrong. Normally she didn't give a rats ass how well connected they were. But to get to the root of this, discretion would be the better part of valour.

No first she would have Alucard and Seras clean up this little mess before sending them after the big boys.
