Disclaimer:

Much as I wish I did I do not own Hellsing, Digimon, Okami or any of the characters I've used in this fanfiction and have not been paid a penny. But I do own my little doggy character Keon the Corgi, please don't steal him from me, he would he happy to make cameos in other works so long as he is asked!

All credit for the opening scene and my thanks to Rayne of Fire for letting me recycle the first part of her fanfic's opening chapter from Contemplating Suicide, reading your fanfic inspired me to write mine, thank you!

'Jericha Takatenshi' is my semi-OC version of Jeri Kato, (because her family history is my own idea but I took some liberties which I will disclaimer as they appear) everything in Tamers happened but she is the daughter of her mother Sora (nothing to do with 01 just liked the name) and a White Leomon which kinda explains why she has a crush on Leomon. Her family comes from an ancient line of healers called Summoners (nothing to do with Final Fantasy I just like the word) descended from the First Dragon and as the strongest of her bloodline must learn how to command all the elements including darkness, and who better to teach her about darkness than the big bad ass vampire himself? She makes a brief appearance in the first few chapters to help Seras but other than that Seras and Alucard are the mains in this story.

The main difference in mine is Seras wants to be able to die a human, and someone very close to her will help her accomplish it. I am in the process of writing several fanfictions detailing my favourite semi-original character Jeri Takatenshi journey to mastering her powers. Set after my Digimon/Hellsing fanfic which I am also still writing but wanted to get this idea down first. Very pccasionally the story will be from a particular character's POV but will overall be in general POV.

P.S The events of Millennium have happened and passed, but in my version many characters survived and some events changed: the evil Walter was a clone made while the true Walter was held captive, the Wild Geese all survived, Father Anderson, Heinkel and Yumie are all alive and well in this too but the latter two won't be seen until MUCH later. "Speech" is yelling, 'speech' is mental speak or takes place in the mind and '-' in a scene change. And rated as it is for occasional swearing, violence and adult scenes in later chapters.

Phew! Now on with the madness-I mean story!

Her Light To His Darkness

Seras' POV

Everyone has a breaking limit, and I knew that I had reached mine. Here I am sitting in my coffin, all alone as usual. The events earlier on have forced me into this, how could the people who pretended to be my friends be so cruel to me. I finished writing the final letter; it was for Alucard, my master, the man I had fallen in love with. I had written three letters in total, one to Sir Integra, one to Walter and one to Alucard.

I just hope that they will understand why I am doing this. Well if they bother to read the letters then they will understand.

I place them in a line across the table, god how did I get like this. A single lonely tear rolls down my face and lands softly on the polished wood of the table. I look back to my coffin and there I see my choice of weapon, it's ironic really, the weapon that took my life as a human will be what kills me as a vampire, my masters Casull.

My master, how the hell did I fall in love with him? It was just a hopeless crush, at least that's what I thought it was at first. You could say that it was borderline obsession now, but he never cared about me. He would never care about me in any way, shape or form. He didn't even like me. He no doubt regretted turning me into a vampire; he always looked at me with disgust.

I slowly walk to my coffin. I have to do this, I don't have a choice any more, no one cares. I sit down and pick up the gun to examine it. It's such a beautifully crafted thing, shame that it will be the last thing I see though. I think yet again of why I am doing this…god why can't they just treat me as if I have some feelings?

Flashback

"Police girl what the fuck were you doing out there, you nearly got those men killed." All I could do was cower as my master released his rage on me. It was an accident, plus what the hell was I supposed to do? I could either take the chance and get the freak or I could have got killed, everyone probably would have. I had to take the chance, and anyway everyone came out alive.

"If you ever, EVER do something like that again and you will be the one that dies, I assure you." Next thing I knew Sir Integra was marching up with Walter at her side…and she wasn't happy. What happened next I never saw coming, she slapped me, as hard as she could across the face.

"You stupid, stupid girl. What kind of stunt was it you were trying to pull?" Tears fell silently down my cheeks, why was this happening?

"Answer her question, you worthless creature!" Alucard roared at me.

I winced at his words, but didn't answer, big mistake. Before I knew what was going on my master had punched me as hard as he could in the ribs, he broke seven in total. I crumbled to my knees, god it hurt. I wrapped my arms around my middle as to comfort myself, but the pull on my hair quickly stopped my self comfort. Alucard dragged me to my feet and held me up by my hair.

"You will do as I say you useless thing or else that punch in the ribs will be nothing in comparison to what I will do to you." I was now suspended off the ground by my hair, tears streaming down my face.

I looked at Integra who just shook her head and sighed.

"Get in the van with the soldiers and when we get back to the Hellsing mansion I don't want to see you for the rest of the night, understood?"

Integra's words frightened me, she had control of Alucard and I didn't want another beating, so I nodded weakly. He released me and I quickly got moving. Despite the pain and got into the van and closed the doors behind me. They wouldn't have to worry about seeing me again tonight; they would never see me again, I would end this. That was my final thought before the van began to move.

That was my final thought before the van began to move. To engross in the utter agony I was in I never heard my masters voice in my head 'What are going to end, Seras?' If I had listened then I would have heard something in his voice that I had never heard before, something akin to fear.

End of flashback

I rubbed at my ribs, they still hurt. That memory was only four hours old and the past four hours had been hell. I choked back my tears, looking at the gun. I couldn't believe that I just walked into his room and got it, he had been upstairs talking with his master and I just took it. No doubt they were talking about ways to punish me.

With trembling hands I raised the weapon to my chest and closed my eyes, laying my finger over the trigger-

'Is this honestly what you want your end to be like?'

I froze … of course she would know, my Vampiric self whom Master made that night been with me since my death in Cheddar, and I'd been fighting with her ever since that night. In the beginning she goaded me and I fought with her constantly, I wasn't ready to give up my humanity yet lately she'd become less brazen and hostile … more sisterly? I couldn't think of a word, I just knew this wasn't like my vampiric side at all.

'Why do you care?'

…

After a moment she laughed quietly and I felt her give an unseen shrug, "Must be the Police Girl in me."

"Bloody smart ass," I mumbled, turning my attention back to Master's Casull.

'You know how furious he will be if he finds out about this … stumble?'

Tears stung my eyes but I fiercely wiped them away.

'It isn't a stumble and you know it isn't, and anyway you can't stop me!'

This time she sighed deeply, 'No I can't … but I can give you another option.'

I raised one eyebrow at her words, what possible options were open to me now? Become an eternal monster or end it as quick as a bullet, no pun intended.

'You've wanted rid of me since you came along,' I scowled openly, of course she wouldn't, she wanted me to submit so she could be free to be as wild and violent as her Master.

'You called him my Master just then, didn't you?'

I blinked a few times … that was probably the first time I'd ever thought of Alucard as being her Master, not mine.

'Because you are still human, a human heart living in the body of a Vampiress. That which makes me strong makes you weaker … eventually if we do not do something you will just wither and die not unlike a malnourished flower. Unless we take steps, I know you're not ready to die yet … you still want to do good in your parents' memory don't you?'

That stung, but she was right, I became a police officer to catch filth like the men who killed my family, so no other little girl would have to suffer as I did. I thought I could still do this at Hellsing, but instead I felt my sanity and will to live slipping away with every mission.

It was exactly as Alucard had said, 'only man can kill a monster', I was just a monster killing monsters now … what would my mother and father say?

'What can you do?'

'You want to do good in your parents' name," she repeated, "And as arrogant and loathsome as he is, I wish to serve my Master without reservation. Perhaps … there is a way we can both have what we want … although I'm really not sure if this will work.'

I couldn't believe I was entertaining her rambles; there was no cure for being a Vampire, yet she sounded as though she knew a way.

'Let me take control, I fight my way to dominance when you drink, if you let me 'take the driver seat', you can rest, you need never see those people again. I'll gain strength until I'm certain I can accomplish your freedom-'

'And then?'

'And then we will part ways, you begin anew, forget this place and the madness that dwells within its walls. He need never know if I am able to fulfil this plan without error. What is your answer, Seras Victoria?'

The hair on the back of my neck stood up; in the distance I heard a heavy iron door opening then familiar heavy boot steps …

'Oh God he's coming!'

'Your answer, I need it now!'

"Yes!" I whispered harshly, and instantly I was no longer in my room in the Hellsing basement, as though I had been pulled off the centre stage and placed safely backstage out of danger … this often happened whenever my Vampire self took control in battle or in bloodlust.

She didn't fight me for control this time … I let her, and as instantly as I conceded to her, my mind grew foggy … and I slipped into a dreamless sleep.

Normal POV

The blonde Vampiress stood up with inhuman speed, as quickly she phased through the walls into her Master's room, replaced his beloved Casull exactly as it was when her human counterpart had taken it with the intention of ending her life.

With the same speed instantly she phased back into her room and took her seat at the table, letting her face show no emotion whatsoever … the Vampire King wanted her to be a heartless monster and from that moment onwards that was what he would have … never again would it be at the expense of her 'sister' however.

CRRRREEEEAAAAKKKK!

The heavy wooden door of her room opened, and in stepped the devil himself. Even in the dreamless slumber her human self was now in with their shared mind Seras cowered, her Vampiress self silently soothed her back to sleep and continued watching her Master.

"Police Girl," he stated in his seemingly permanently monotone voice, his tone let his fledgling know he was still irked at her earlier screw up.

The Vampiress stood up straight before her Sire, bowed her head to him then straightened her back to meet his gaze again.

"Master," she said evenly.

Alucard raised one eyebrow slightly, when he'd seen her earlier she had been in tears then she'd heard her thoughts about 'ending things tonight'. She'd seemed broken, now however … he couldn't sense any fear from her anymore, not outwardly at least.

Never leaving her gaze he searched her thoughts-

A whimper of fear then nothing more.

Outwardly he saw her blink as though surprised by his searching her mind before regaining her composure, awaiting her Master's next words.

"Come with me," he said while he turned away and she complied without question, following him into his room where his shadows closed the door behind him while he continued to sit at his throne chair.

Watching her with puzzlement when she remained while she stood, Alucard raised a hand and conjured a chair for her to sit on next to the small table beside his throne.

"Take a seat, Police Girl," Alucard gestured to the chair.

"Thank you Master," she bowed then silently seated herself beside him.

"So, Police Girl …" he repeated her nickname, trying to gauge her reaction to his nickname for her.

"Yes Master?"

Nothing, now Alucard felt genuine confusion even though he didn't show it outwardly.

"Perhaps … the punishment I gave was too severe earlier," he began, sensing her body was still healing albeit not as quickly as it should have been.

"No Master, I reacted without thinking, the men under Sir Integra's command could have been killed. I was reckless and deserved the punishment you chose to give, you have my sincere regrets for the shame I must have brought on you."

Alucard's blood-red eyes narrowed, she was trying her best to become what he wanted and she was doing extremely well … But just how far would she pursue this charade?

"So if I decided you hadn't learned your lesson, you would not fear another punishment?"

"That would be lying Master," her reply was even, "I would never say I don't fear you, however if you deem it fit to do so then I will accept any and all punishments you choose to mead out."

"There's no need for that Police Girl," he waved her submission to further penalties away yet wasn't quite convinced. "Do I take this as an admission of your mistake?"

"I lost my sense of reason and made a nearly fatal mistake, on the part of the human soldiers anyway. I won't make the same mistake again, as your servant I swear it."

A small smile graced his lips for a brief moment, he liked her new attitude, perhaps he should discipline her more often? But that smile was soon gone, he'd nearly forgotten.

"What exactly were you going to end tonight, Police Girl?"

"My disgrace Master, you've given me more patience than I deserve; tonight I promise to end my disgrace and become a Vampiress worthy to follow you into battle. I won't waste me energies on the past anymore, only the eternity before me if I am still worthy to be your fledgling."

"So formal, not like you at all?"

"I had a moment of clarity Master, just because I will be 19 for the rest of eternity it does not mean I have to act like it."

This time the small smile stayed on his lips, "You've impressed me, my Police Girl."

"Thank you, Sir."

Now this was truly odd, normally Seras would be ecstatic to receive his praise … this wasn't going to be much fun if he couldn't at least get a small rise out of her.

With the hand closest to her he gestured to the bottle of blood wine, "Care to join me for drink, Seras?"

Again he sensed an inward flinch, oh yes drinking blood was one thing she could never bring herself to do without his threats of punishment.

"This is yours Sir; I should get my own blood-"

Out of one of his pockets he pulled a blood pack and offered it to her, smirking at his quick thinking of cutting off her excuse.

Looking at the blood pack without her usual look of distaste, she looked to him, "Might I borrow the other glass, Master?"

With a nod as his reply she took his spare glass, with one quick motion tore corner of the blood pack with her fangs then poured it into the glass slowly so as not to waste a drop before taking the glass in her hand.

"A toast is in order, I believe," Alucard stopped her from drinking, raising his own glass.

She repeated the gesture with her own glass, "What are we drinking to, Master?"

"A new you," he smirked openly, "one who doesn't shy from bloodshed and will massacre her enemies without remorse or hesitation. And perhaps one day … will even be worthy of becoming a No-Life Queen?"

"To a new … me?" the Vampiress looked puzzled at her chosen words.

Alucard chuckled, "To my new and improved, Draculina!"

"To the new Draculina," she repeated, and without hesitation drunk the glass of blood in three quiet gulps taking care not to waste a drop.

The No-Life King watched her with no small amount of pride; she finally was becoming what he had always known she was capable of.

"Master, if I might be so bold?"

"Might you?" and when she paused looking perplexed, "Continue."

"With you permission, I'd like to give my apologies to Sir Integra also, it was after all her men I endangered."

"One moment," Alucard closed his eyes and called out to his Master through their blood link, 'Master?'

'What the bloody hell do you want?' Integra's annoyed tone answered.

Alucard chuckled outwardly at the unintended pun, making his fledgling tilt her head.

'My fledgling wishes to see you.'

'What the hell for!'

'She wishes to convey her apologies for tonight's escapade.'

'This isn't one of your damn mind games is it? Because it's late and I'm not in the mood!'

'No my master, Police Girl made the request all on her own after sharing a night cap with me.'

In her private bedroom Integra sat up, feeling confused, a few short hours ago the Police Girl had been in tears, what had Alucard done now?

Sighing deeply Integra nodded needlessly, 'Tell her to come to my office immediately, alone.'

'As you wish, my master.'

Closing the mental link Alucard looked to his Police Girl, "She will see you, go to her office immediately."

"Thank you, Master."

With a weary sigh Integra placed her robe over her nightwear and exited her room to enter the large office across the hallway.

No sooner had she taken her seat at her desk there was a knock at her door.

"Enter," she called.

And as she'd expected, the fledgling Vampiress entered the office and closed the door behind her to stand before the Hellsing Master's desk.

"Well, spit it out Police Girl, it's late and I'm not in the best of moods."

"I wish to give my sincere apologies for tonight Sir Integra, I have explained to my Master and now I will to you: I was reckless and did not consider the consequences if I failed. It does not matter that I was able to complete my task, the manner in which I did so was inexcusable. I offer my sincere apologies for the shame I brought to my Master and to you, Sir Hellsing."

The Hellsing Heiress appeared shocked by the former police girl's apology; this wasn't like her at all.

"I accept your apology, let's put it down to learning experience and say no more about it. Seras?"

"Yes Sir Integra?"

Exactly as Alucard had a few minutes earlier Sit Integra gave the same apology, albeit Integra meant it more than Alucard had.

"Perhaps I was too harsh earlier, Vampire though you are I forget you're not a monster like your Master."

"That was the penalty you chose to give and I accept it, Sir Integra."

"Are you alright? Honestly, Seras?"

For a brief moment the Vampiress' eyes changed from blood red to deep blue but as quickly changed back, unseen by the older woman.

"I will live Sir, metaphorically speaking," the light joke made both women laugh lightly before the blonde went on, "Both you and my Master accepted my apologies so I won't waste any more of your time."

"You know I'm here if you wish to speak Seras?"

"Thank you Sir Integra, goodnight."

"Goodnight Seras," the platinum blonde watched the younger female leave the room, her whole demeanour had changed over the space of a few hours … perhaps fear of Alucard?

Whatever the reason, Integra really wasn't sure what to make of the 'new police girl', pondering this while returning to her bed chambers she made a mental note to discuss this with Alucard tomorrow.

The female fledgling returned to her chambers and without another wasted movement lay down in her coffin then closed the lid.

Closing her eyes the blonde female entered her mind, seeking out her human self … the darkness formed into images, into what humans call the 'happy place', the part of the mind one retreats to in times of distress and extreme fear.

Inside Seras' Happy Place

Seras Victoria's happy place not surprisingly looked nothing like Hellsing, it was a small house made of plywood, a tiled roof and a small trail of smoke snaked its way out of the chimney and it was sunny … bright sunlight yet not hot.

A small cottage in the countryside, the fledgling had to muse on how humble her sister's dream was: a small home to call her own, in peaceful solitude by choice.

Stepping up to the door it opened instantly and allowed the female entry, she wasn't a threat to the woman who had created this small haven.

Inside the living room it was as modest as the outside, wooden walls on the inside of the outer stone layer, a table full of pictures the Vampiress guessed to be her sister's parents. At one end of the room was a large wooden staircase to the upstairs rooms and at the other end a large fireplace with a large faux fur rug.

Her human counterpart sat silently on the rug, watching the flames flickering lay on her side while holding her knees to her chest, her eyes closed and oblivious to the presence of the stronger persona.

"A nice place, after living in Hellsing I expected you to have dreams of a mansion of your own!" the stronger of the two tried to make conversation.

"Hellsing belongs to Sir Integra … I lived in the basement alongside a twisted gun-wielding vampire. If this works … I never want to see that place again."

"About that …"

"Hmm?"

"You're not going to like it, but if you want your own freedom it must be done. I'm asking you to be strong for a while longer, after living under the rule of the Nosferatu I know you're strong enough."

Seras raised her head to look over her shoulder at her counterpart, her expression asking what she wouldn't like.

"I need to become stronger, much stronger than before … once that happens I'll be able to live apart from you."

A moment of silence passed before the realisation hit the blue-eyed blonde, there was only one way to make a vampire stronger: taking the blood of a living victim.

"You won't see anything I promise, I'll keep you sheltered and safe until the time comes."

" … If you're just going to kill me, I'd rather you just did it now."

The Vampiress' crimson eyes widened, her better half honestly believed that the solution she had been promised was death.

"I meant what I promised; in the end neither Hellsing nor Alucard will hold any power over you again."

"You're his fledgling … how do I know you're not just doing this to be his new and improved Draculina?" Seras practically spat the words Alucard had used earlier.

"He is my Master and my Sire, his orders are my law, it doesn't mean I like him."

Seras looked at the fledgling Vampiress with wide eyes, "But, I thought that you-"

"Alucard made me when he killed you; the man is a monster, more savage and brutal than all of the Millennium filth put together when the mood takes him. He plays with his victims like some demonic hellcat, humiliating and brutalising them before giving them as gruesome an end as his mind can imagine. And that was before he even became the accursed Nosferatu!"

Seras shrank back from the words, knowing them to be true … the man she had sometimes admired … and even felt attracted to briefly was a monster born and bred.

"How the hell did I ever become obsessed with making him proud?" she asked, tears forming in her eyes.

"He's easy on the eyes, there's no denying that … if you're the type to go for blood-drinking sadists. He sneers at kindness, always has and always will. Do you know the story of Wilhamina Harker, she was his first fledgling?"

Seras shook her head.

"Apparently Count Dracula, as his name was at the time, slaughtered a young man by the name of Jonathan Harker. On the poor soul's person he found a picture of the man's beloved, feeling the most unadulterated lust he sought her for his own and succeeded in biting her. Only the interference of Van Helsing, Integra's ancestor, stopped him from taking her as his bride. What happened next no one alive knows but she was eventually captured by Millennium and died in captivity, this is what happens to the poor souls who capture the monster's attentions be it good or bad. But you know that already, don't you Seras?"

Seras herself had seen Alucard's ruthless nature and bloodlust, his sadistic persona frightened the human woman more now that she was truly separate from her vampiric side albeit only in their shared mind.

"You need not worry; remain here in your happy place, he cannot touch you here. I won't let anything more happen to you, just try to be silent … he heard you when he searched our mind but thankfully he thought it was me."

"Thank you … um, what do I call you?" Seras asked.

"I have no name."

"I have to call you something; I can't call you Seras that would be too strange!"

After a moment the red-eyed female replied, "Draculina suits me fine, it's what I am after all."

"It's not too creative is it, are you really okay being called Draculina, by me anyway?"

"We are what we are, you are Seras Victoria and I am the Draculina fledgling of the dreaded Alucard."

"Alright … thank you."

Draculina smiled lightly, "No need, rest and be well little sister, I'll try not to take too long," and with that final statement she left the blonde human to rest and to dream her own dreams.

Back in the Hellsing Mansion

Alucard sat upon his tall throne in his private chamber, swirling the same glass of blood wine he'd shared with his fledgling. The trademark smirk reserved for both the start when he'd caught the scent of whatever unfortunate pretender unlucky enough to cross his path and the end when he felt their hearts beat for the final time after his signature impalement.

He was still surprised at how sudden the change had occurred, yet he was immensely pleased. The former police girl was truly dead now, her humanity anyway, now the chance, the potential for the future!

Events were unfolding exactly as he had envisioned the first time he had seen the petite blonde in Cheddar 6 years ago … all alone faced with the reanimated corpses of the villagers, her own comrades and the vile creature that dared call itself a vampire ready to rape then kill her so she would be a shambling, undead slave for the rest of eternity.

The No-Life King would never admit it, but he had fallen for the young woman as surely as he had for his first fledgling: Mina. The difference was; there was no vampire hunter to intervene. Van Helsing had interfered with his plans for Mina but this was a new chance.

During his lifetime as Vlad Dracula III, many a woman had offered themselves to the Prince of Wallachia. Purely for the sake of physical pleasure he'd taken what they offered and thought no more of them afterwards until he met his wife … his beloved Lydia.

She was special enough to capture his heart with just a glance, in return he courted her and made her into his queen, they were happy together … But then she became aware of her love's dark side, criminals both petty and malicious met the most horrific of ends all at his hands and he took an almost child-like delight in their pain. It had horrified his wife and it drove them apart, until finally during a raid by the Persians in which he had been unable to return in time she threw herself to her death from atop their castle.

For years afterwards he had wondered if she had done so from fear of being captured or to escape him, their last spoken words were over the death of a criminal who had committed atrocities against the children of the town immediately before their castle.

He had heard the villager's yells for punishment and he gave them what they wanted, in the end impaling the sick bastard's head on a pike outside the village as a warning aside the rest of the criminals.

Lydia had been appalled, claiming he had forsaken God and forgotten how it felt to be human … oh how right those words would prove to be. For shortly after his wife's death, Vlad Dracula led his forces against the Persians one last time but was defeated and beheaded … not before committing the sin of drinking blood from his scorched homeland and thus he survived while all around him withered and died.

Looking back on it he would have chosen differently if given the chance, be it in his treatment of criminals that drove him apart from his wife or that final choice of drinking blood from the last battlefield he stood on. Eternity was lonely, and the more he watched the humans he preyed upon from the shadows the more he felt it.

Finally right around the early 1800s he reached a conclusion, after taking the life of a man named Jonathan Harker; he felt that same spark again. After draining the man's blood, Dracula had found a picture on the dead man's person … she had the same bright smile, even her hair the colour of sun-ripened wheat was the same. And they were newlyweds, so new that the young woman was still a virgin.

It was fated, it had to be! He was meant to claim this woman as his own, and he would no longer walk the night alone!

But as the humans so often said, 'life is a bitch'. To give him the chance to make a new bride, only to have that damned man interfere, Van Helsing had bested him in battle as the sun rose and Hellsing's last act before staking him through the heart was to let him know Mina had fled the place never to return even after he had turned her … she fled from him and never looked back.

Of course during his time in captivity Alucard, as Hellsing had named him after the fated duel, the Vampire King had time to reflect. Mina had already given her heart to the man he'd killed; it just wasn't done to kill a man then turn up with the intentions he had.

That was when he decided the next female he chose would be an unspoiled virgin, a woman who would only ever want to give her heart to him and never be disloyal.

That night in Cheddar he found all those things in Seras Victoria: his Police Girl. While the weaker vampire had stammered about Alucard looking the other way in regards to his crimes, the Nosferatu had time to look inside the young woman's mind.

Witnessing the horrific deaths of her parents, neglected by those entrusted with her care in the orphanage and shunned by her fellow children … still she was not a bitter soul. Still she dreamed of being a police officer to honour both her father and mother, so no other little girl would suffer as she had.

Despite the doubters and despite her hardships her dream had been made reality, Alucard had felt a touch of remorse for cutting the girl's life short … but it had to be. Even enduring crude comments from those not in her own squad about her ample curves did not deter her, in return she gained the respect and even love of her team, they looked at her as a little sister and even nicknamed her 'Kitten'.

(Alucard had to admit it was fitting, Police Girl even sneezed like a kitten, it was one of her quirks that he was most fond of)

She would have died that night if he not intervened, the talent and raw will to live were much too alluring to waste. By the grace of the same God who'd forsaken him so long ago the little female was a virgin too! And thus he set his plan into motion, the first step was simple make her his fledgling.

The sight of him being riddled with bullets then regenerating in a swarm of bats and blood had terrified her; she would never be willing if just asked after saving her so … he took steps.

First was the gain control of the weaker vampire's mind, second to give him the idea to use the girl as a shield then finally shoot through the living shield to kill the target and turn her as she lay dying unable to resist.

Things went slower than he would've wanted, firstly there was her reluctance to drink blood, but after tonight that wasn't a major concern but he would still watch to make sure she would drink.

The second problem was all the 'distractions' that had happened since that night, the increase in Freak attacks for a start, then the sudden appearance of a Half-Breed girl from another dimension.

During his service to Sir Integra's father, Alucard had happened across a white wolf … well it looked like a wolf anyway: stunning white with silver eyes and a strange, glowing ethereal symbol on its back.

It had claimed its name was Silverbolt; his father was a 'Saiyan Warrior named Goku' (the way the young male had said it was as if it should have meant something to Alucard even though both knew it didn't) from beyond the stars of the Earth he called his home and his mother was human (even though this was proved partly false as his mother's ancestors were entrusted with 'the secret of the Second Dragon')

The younger male was exceptionally strong, repelling Alucard's attempts to drain his blood and power. It was then Silverbolt revealed he had seen a terrible future unveil in the Earth on which Alucard made his home, and sought to prevent it.

The sheer absurdity of the statement stayed with the Elder Vampire for years afterwards even in his hibernation, having a vision of the death of someone you had never even met was one thing, but in another dimension!

Oh the younger Half-Breed had made a small speech about 'never leaving a call for help unanswered', but the reason became clear when he mentioned it was a pregnant woman who was in danger … it was shortly after this meeting that it was revealed it was the life of Arthur Hellsing's wife, and soon-to-be mother of their daughter.

Alucard hadn't cared much at the time, seeing this Silverbolt made a deal with the Nosferatu: aid him in saving Lady Hellsing and Silverbolt would tell him his future. The way in which the silver-eyed man had said this made Alucard curious, so they joined forces and saved the life of Lady Hellsing who then promptly gave birth to the current Sir Integra.

True to his word Silverbolt foretold Alucard's destiny … he would face the greatest battles of his life, become the most powerful warrior in his world. All these things Alucard already knew, until the young man foretold he would forever have the love and loyalty of his bride: a promising young woman scarred by tragedy 'with eyes bluer than the sunniest skies'.

In return for this however, the Half-Breed asked a favour of Alucard, the future of his own world was unfolding too and he foretold that his goddaughter would meet Alucard in future and that he would help her 'control the darkness'.

Alucard promised to help the young female if the prophecy about his having a bride came to pass, (this worked out fine of course because said goddaughter had not even been born yet) which it did and Silverbolt paid Alucard a visit to remind him, in secret of course.

That was when life proved to be an even great bitch because twenty three years after saving Lady Hellsing it threw a 13 year old girl into his life, this one was a Half-Breed also though again her mother's bloodline came from 'the First Dragon'. Her blood while still rich with the aroma of virgin innocence, held something far more potent, Alucard himself had even stated she was 'too sweet even for him'.

Thus began the longest month of his life, his old debt meant he had to teach the young Half-Breed how to wield darkness as a weapon. Having been scarred by it at such a young age with the death of both her parents and a manner of other misfortunes caused by the darkness of others she defied his teachings at first and nearly killed herself trying to return home by force of will before her teaching was complete. One way of her defiance showing was giving him the nickname 'undead baka', he in turn took to calling her 'the Little Dragon', it was accurate enough but apparently she didn't care for his tone when he said it.

Truly the child had been an enigma, scarred by darkness yet not tainted by it despite the anger he knew she still felt inside.

Eventually after a brief run-in with a squad of the Nazi vampires of Millennium, she did finally learn to wield her darkness which surprised even Alucard though he would never admit this. Her mother had died of grief after her father had been killed trying to change his daughter's fate, the latter of which she never saw while Seras saw her family slain in such a barbarous way that it was shocking for such a young girl to have such deep darkness.

Towards the end he even learned to enjoy her presence, especially her darkness … oh how he remember the luscious beauty of her darkness given physical form. A tall, striking female with crimson eyes and a wicked cruel streak, the two had flirted playfully at least until Alucard made a joke about what he wanted to do to her … this resulted in her breaking all his ribs and bluntly stating that her virtue was not hers to give away but her 'host's to give'. And it just got more confusing from there, a brief flirtation nothing more. Although said dark Dragoness had warned Seras to 'run away screaming from the bloody masochist' after he'd flirted with her.

It had been nearly 6 weeks since he had last seen the young female at that point, more than once they had a gathering for all the 'friends from beyond their own world' at her godfather's castle. He'd had fun terrorising a red-haired young male who'd blurted out his history to a tall, red demon with blue horns while he thought Alucard had not been listening; it was funny to see a young male so terrified by him for his past deeds instead of his more recent ones.

Since their first meeting Alucard had laid waste to the Millennium group, slaughtering them in spectacular fashion, and destroying much of London in the process but who would dare take it up with him?

He had seen Seras after her transformation into a true Draculina, having drunk the perverted Frenchman Pip's blood … yet she still grieved, and that same annoying little dragon interfered.

Being descended from a benevolent deity she gave life back to the Frenchman and his flock of Wild Geese, all of whom now resided permanently at Hellsing as extra security and Seras still had an affection for the men as they did for her, and Alucard hated it.

The Frenchman and his flock didn't demand she be the perfect Draculina as he did, she became more defiant albeit silently after spending more time with them. After the events of the now previous night that seemed to no longer be an obstacle, finally his plan was coming to fruition.

He had waited nearly 200 years since losing Mina to find another suitable candidate for his eternal bride and another 6 after of breaking down her resistance but it was worth it, soon she would really be perfect. Soon she would no longer seek out the humans for company, he would be her one and only and she would be his in turn forevermore.

Hellsing could only last so long, it was the Hellsing bloodline that kept him bound and as Sir Integra's own standards forbade her the freedom to seek a man of her own then this would indeed be the last of the Hellsing bloodline. Another few decades then after old age claimed his master he would be free to rebuild his old kingdom, and Seras would stand by his side tall and proud as his queen (or as tall as a five foot even blonde could be) and then … well not even he dared to imagine what would happen then, his impatience for said future would torment him if he did.

"Oh the possibilities …" he smirked before supping from his glass again, his desire for his fledgling radiating outwards like an ominous storm cloud before he regained control of his emotions.

There was no need to ruin the surprise that was sure to come when he offered her the chance to be his dark bride, she would be glorious, strong and have no memories of the doubt and fear that had hindered her so long.

Oh yes, they would rule over his reborn kingdom for the rest of eternity, there would be those who would challenge his right as King and he would leave them begging for death. There would also be those who would challenge her right to be his Queen and she would eviscerate them for their impudence and to please her King, to please him … more importantly they would do so together.

Then he would take her as many times as was needed to make her with his child, only then would be content to share her love, his dreams would be made real and he would never walk the night alone again.

As the White Wolf foretold, he would forever have the love and loyalty of his bride.

At the same moment across the hallway, the young Draculina's eyes snapped open, a shiver going through her form … what was it?

Before the darkness faded she honed in on its origin, her Master's room, what the hell was it? It wasn't his familiar: Baskerville, the demonic dog always made its presence known with deep rumbling growls.

No, it was the Vampire King's aura which only became visible if he truly felt one of two powerful emotions, rage as was clear from the events of Millennium or a most basic emotion felt by both vampires and humans: lust-

Stopping her own thoughts the Vampiress let her mouth gape, a look of stunned and horrified realisation crossing her features.

So that was it, the true reason he had turned the Police Girl into a vampire, why he had been trying so fiercely to get her to let go of her human side.

Exactly the same as the first fledgling Mina Harker, the stories while starkly different in major parts were eerily similar in others: while Dracula had lusted for Mina after only seeing a photo of her, Alucard lusted for Seras after only setting eyes on her once. Dracula killed Jonathan to claim his wife for his own, Alucard had killed Seras outright to claim her.

The former plotline ended when Van Helsing staked Dracula through the heart, ending his hold on Mina. Now though, there wasn't a cunning vampire hunter to save the doomed young woman … she would have to do it herself.

It was then Draculina became even more set in her course, she was already damned as the Nosferatu's servant, it did not mean the human in her, the innocent that Alucard shot down both literally that night and metaphorically ever since, had to suffer under his rule.

Because Draculina would not allow it, one way or another, even if death was the only way to do it, she would protect Seras from the dangerous monster.

The irony of it wasn't lost on the Vampiress: Alucard's own fledgling conspiring to save his intended bride from him, and the fact it was her innocent human side she would be saving made it all the more ironic.

Deep inside their shared mind the young former policewoman slept on, oblivious to the danger she was in and of the resolve her fiercer half had to protect her, to make sure she would not be the next Mina. She would be the lion protecting the lamb, the latter being the true Seras Victoria.

The reference although made silently made Seras herself think about the young Half-Breed she'd befriended those short years ago, and Seras had to wonder how Jeri had changed … and what she was doing now?

So Seras is taking a back seat and letting Draculina take the lead! Will Draculina be able to fool Alucard and the rest of Hellsing, and will she be able to keep Seras safe from Alucard's plans? What do you think?

To those of you who read all the way to the bottom without getting bored, thank you you're the reason I'm writing! I ask you all to be aware this is mainly about Alucard wanting Seras but Seras is just too afraid to return his emotions, not that Draculina would let him try, so there will be no romance in this fanfic! There may be a possible friendship between them towards the end but until then, plenty of angst!

Please leave a review to let me know how you like my version of a Seras/Alucard story, constructive flames are welcome as they will help me write better in future, but overall I did this for fun and out of love for the Hellsing OVA. Thank you for reading my first chapter, hope you will read the next!
