Chapter 1
Seras' P.O.V
It was a little after dusk when Sir Integra sent us out on a routine mission. It was supposed to be a standard one vampire and a small army of ghouls. Oh how our informants were wrong. It was a whole bloody nest of vampires, or as my master says "A nest of coach roaches waiting to be stepped on". I moved quickly to kill any ghouls that I could, while avoiding the other vampires. I knew I was too weak to deal with even the lowest level FREAK. I sighed heavily at my own stubbornness and shot another five ghouls through the head. Shame be on me when I was grabbed from behind. "Put your weapons down and I won't drain your precious childe dry" said a male voice which I can only assume was the head vampire of the nest. Captain Bernadette quickly put is gun down, master Alucard was less than pleased. "Police girl, you wouldn't be in this situation if you just drank your blood" he scolded harshly. I sighed in defeat. The vampire that held me grew tired of being ignored and moved in closer to my throat, close to taking a bite.
Suddenly I was covered in blood and ashes. I turned around to see a young girl, around 19 to 20 from her looks. Her skin was tan and I mean like sun kissed and beautiful her hair was black and hung down in a braid. What was strange about her was her eyes. They were completely black, no white at all. She wore black cargo pants and black combat boots. The girl was covered in tattoos, even I couldn't discern where they started and where they ended. She didn't wear a shirt, instead she had her chest and abdomen wrapped with some black material. Upon further inspection, the girl was armed. She had some sort of gauntlet with a spring loaded blade and twin tomahawks. The weapons were expertly decorated with feathers and black, red, white, and yellow beads. As she moved you could catch a glimpse of the recurve bow she had on her back, decorated in a similar fashion. She then proceeded to kill the other vampires and ghouls surrounding us, stuffing some sort of herb down the ghouls' throat as she went. This seemed to have killed them painlessly and without blood and guts going everywhere. Master was too entranced with her fighting to do anything. As the last of the infernal beasts were defeated, a soft howling was heard in the distance. The girl was quick to snap her head in the direction of the noise before whooping a few times. The sound reminded me of something but my mind was blank at the moment. Within seconds she was out the window and gone into the night. Master Alucard looked displeased, or at least he was masking his underlying anger. "Come on Police girl, we're going home, and you're going to drink your blood. Tonight was just the beginning of your weakness". I sighed in defeat and walked back to the car with Captain Bernadette.
"So mignonette, do you know who that girl was. She was skilled with those weapons of hers no?" stated the Captain. I shook my head and proceeded to look out the window, contemplating my earlier weakness. 'You can't drink the blood. You are not a monster' said my inner self. I bit my lip and glared at the ground. This always happened when I contemplated giving in, my inner self would remind me of my lingering humanity. We arrived back at the mansion only to be sent to Sir Integra's office.
"Report" stated Sir Integra. Considering my master was absent from the room I began my explanation. "Sir, our informant was extremely inaccurate. There was a whole nest of FREAKS. I was detained by the head vampire and used as a hostage. A young girl came to my rescue and killed off the rest of them before leaping out the window after a howling noise in the distance. She made this strange noise in response to it, I know what it's from but I can't seem to remember it". Integra looked angry about my detainment, but the anger turned to fascination when I mentioned my rescuer. "What did the noise she made sound like" she asked. By that point, Walter had walked into the room with Integra's tea and cigar. I blushed before imitating the sound, though I'm pretty sure I butchered it. Integra raised an eyebrow before Walter responded to her unspoken question. "Sir, I believe that that is a victory cry used by the natives of America. What did she look like Miss Victoria?" My blush had died down as I gave the description. "She had long black hair in a braid, really tan skin, almost red like copper. Her eyes were completely black. She carried two tomahawks, a bow, and some weird gauntlet type weapon". Walter seemed to ponder this for a moment before answering. "That mostly confirms my suspicions. Native Americans tend to have copper colored skin, black or brown hair, and black or brown eyes. It is also custom to keep their hair long. The question is, what is a Native American girl doing in London, and killing FREAKS no less". Integra smoked her cigar and thought "What indeed" she stated.
"Go to your room Police girl, make sure you drink your blood, or I'll have Alucard force it down your throat again". I bowed slightly and walked down to the basement level reaching my room. I laid down in my coffin bed and just thought back on today's event. 'Things are about to get interesting' stated the looming voice of my master. I sighed at the thought and closed my eyes, waiting for sleep to take me.
Girl's P.O.V
After I leapt out the window, I ran towards the howls of my companion. I finally found him and hugged him around the neck. He was a large black wolf was bright yellow eyes. His head stood at my shoulder which puts him at 5'4" on all fours. He licked my face, cleaning off the ashes and blood. "Nimino-ayaa Miskwaa Dibikad" (I am well, Red Night) I said with a chuckle. Red Night let out a bark and motioned his head back towards our rented apartment. I only nodded as we made our way back home. I was sent here by my tribe's medicine man. He had a vision of my help being needed here and sent me on my way. I've been in England for over a year now and the Hellsing organization has only seen me this one time. I'll admit I was expecting them to see me and or find me sooner than that, but that time of peace was appreciated. There was no doubt in my mind that I'd have to deal with them eventually.
By now the one called Walter should have realized my decent but not which tribe I'm from. I come from a relatively peaceful tribe, the Ojibwe. We are called Anishinaabe by our people. I unbraided my hair and removed my dirty clothes. The clothes were carelessly tossed on the floor on the way to the bathroom. I then proceeded to take a nice hot shower to let my eyes adjust. In the glass, I could see my pitch black eyes recede to show the whites, though if you looked closely you could see a red and yellow ring on the outside. After washing my hair, I dried it as best I could with a towel before braiding it again. Red Night stood by the door and waited for me, my night clothes sitting lightly in his mouth. When I exited the bathroom, I grabbed my clothes from him and gave him a good scratch. He gave me the wolf equivalent of a purr. All that was left to do now was to check my emails for any other possible jobs. Seeing as I had none, I curled up in our makeshift den and fell asleep with Red Night as a blanket.
My eyes shot open when I heard my partner growl. The whites of my eyes flooded with black as I searched the room. It didn't take long to spot a tall figure. From the scent, the figure was not human, in fact it was none other than Alucard, the no life king. Now to fuck with him "Nindanweb" (I am resting). With that, I curled back up in my den. Red Night stood over me protectively. "You're coming with me" stated Alucard. I looked up at him and said "Gaawiin" (No). His red eyes turned to a hard glare "Can you speak any English?" I grinned exposing sharpened teeth "I can speak this foul language fluently, hell if it were not for my strong elders my true language would be lost to me." His eyes glowed red with irritation "So you don't like speaking English, but you're in London. Why?" My only response was to yawn and stretch. Alucard growled lowly when I didn't answer. "My master wishes to see you, you will come with me willingly or not. Make your choice". I groaned and slowly got up from my comfy den. Red Night followed behind me ever cautious of the vampire that followed too. "Give me five minutes to get dressed Gichi-mookomaan (European)". He scowled, not knowing what I said. Getting dressed wasn't an issue, as I was very confident in my body. Modesty was not a virtue of mine. I wrapped up my abdomen and chest in black cloth, threw on a black vest, and put on a pair of black cargo pants. I also equipped my weapons before finding the No Life King sitting at the bar in the kitchen. "Alright Gichi-mookomaan, we walking or are you going to give us a lift". The scowl on his face was replaced with a smirk as he gripped me around the waist and melded into the shadows. He of course thought he left Red Night behind. How wrong he was.
We appeared in an office, a blonde haired woman sat at the desk smoking a cigar. This woman was none other than Sir Integra. "So you're the mysterious girl that saved one of my vampires. Tell me why you're on British soil" she said in a very no funny business attitude. 'Damn Englishmen' I thought before I responded "Over a year ago, the medicine man of my tribe sent me here. He only told me I was needed here. Before you ask, yes I'm well aware of vampires and their existence. I've been taking the jobs you reject or miss, waiting for your organization to discover my being here". "What's your name" she asked. I could on smirk as I replied "I very much doubt you could pronounce it on your English tongue. So you may call me Wolf". Sir Integra seemed to think on this before leaning back in her chair. "We were recently under attack. We've hired mercenaries to replace a small percentage of the men we've lost, but we are still severely lacking in manpower. Would you be willing to work for me in exchange for living space, food and pay?" I remained silent for a while before whistling. In an instant Red Night came bounding into the room out of the shadows. "My answer will depend on you also accommodating my partner. He is tame enough to know who not to attack and is house trained". Now it was Integra's turn for silence as she took in my words. "Very well. You will be staying on the ground level floor with the rest of the soldiers. For now Walter will take you to get your belongings and then show you your room. During that time you will tell him what food your...wolf will require. Are we clear?" I only nodded and followed Walter from the room.
It did not take long to move my things into my new room. Walter helped in putting away most of it. "Now Miss Wolf, what will you be needing in terms of food for your companion" he asked. "Just Wolf is fine Walter. As for food we will be needing raw meat, preferably red. I say we as we share the same diet. Should it be too expensive to obtain, we can always lower the deer population in the woods." Walter nodded at this and left the room. When I judged him to be out of ear shot I set to work on making the room my home. The bed was moved out of the room and into another spare and it was replaced with a pile of furs and the windows were covered with sun blocking curtains. "Think we can make it out here" I asked Red Night. He barked and wagged his tail happily. I smirked and stroked his head. When the sun began to rise, I yawned before curling up in our fur pile. Sleep came easy that evening.
