Okay, in the last chapter I used some words in a different language. I used the translator from so if it's wrong, I'm sorry and please ignore it. Thanks. Oh and if any of you do know which word is correct I don't mind if you tell me. It would be quite helpful!

Chapter 2: Lurking Disaster
Rushing down the steps of Grandpa Harker's huge mansion home, I kept a close eye on my watch which read 8:58 AM. I should have known better than to ask for seconds of Elaine's cooking at breakfast. As my watch hit 9 I had just set foot in the Rose Garden.
The moment my teacher Mr. Adrian spotted me he rushed over and put me in place for the graduation ceremony which the main part of passed by fairly quickly. Once the diplomas were handed out, the party part of the whole thing was able to begin with dancing and refreshments.
Looking around the party, it took me a few minutes before I could spot Grandpa Harker. Walking over I watched as he slowly stood up. He was indeed an old man yet he could still move around like that with no problems. It was odd, but I let it stand as good health on his part.
"Juliann, I hope you are enjoying yourself." He said giving me a small kiss on the cheek.
"As much as I can Grandpa Harker, I can see why Mr. Adrian loves to borrow the Rose Garden for such events. It's a very beautiful place." I said, looking all around at the roses. I really love roses, especially the dark red ones. They were just so beautiful and smelled so sweat.
"It was your great grandmother's favorite garden among them all. Up until the day she got sick she cared for every single rose." Grandpa said his eyes saddening for a moment before turning happy again.
"Ah, no need to dampen the moment. You graduate today, best you be happy, my dear Julie."
Smiling up at him, I gave him a quick kiss on his cheek before heading off to my favorite part of the rose garden that held a beautiful fountain.
Sitting along the edge of the fountain, I studied the images of wolves that had been carved into the stone. Whoever had done it was truly brilliant as an artist.
I was so lost in the art work that I failed to notice someone had snuck up on me. The only clue I had to their presence was a shift in the warm temperature to cold.
"Miss Juliann Harker I presume?" asked a voice that sounded like it had a thick German accent.
Turning around I spotted a blonde man in a pure white suite standing a few feet away looking in my direction. The vibe I got from this man really made my skin crawl, but instead of telling him to go mess with someone else's head I decided to go with politeness seeing as Grandpa Harker would have a fit if I didn't.
"Yes… Who might you be? That is if it doesn't offend you that I ask." I said through a fake yet polite smile.
The short man only laughed before raising his right hand.
"I'm someone you're going to help out." He said as he snapped his fingers and the screaming around me began.
…
Looking all around me I could see blood and carnage everywhere. My thoughts immediately turned to my grandfather. I really hope that he is alright. Turning my gaze back at the sadistic man before me I could see the sick gleam in his eyes.
"What the hell is going on here? What are you after?" I questioned him. I didn't' know what he was trying to pull, but I sure didn't want him pulling anything with me.
"Why I'm here to collect you Miss. Harker so that I can have you made into samples to create my undead army to go to war with my true nemesis. As it is, there is nothing left of the corpse of your great grandmother Mina Harker." He said laughing as if it were a joke.
This man was a sick bastard. How could he call himself human and violate the corpses of others and threaten to make samples out of those who haven't even really lived yet.
"I'm sorry, but I can't help you. I don't want to die for small whims like that. So the best thing you can do is get the hell out of here!" I said raising my voice.
The blond man only tsked at me a couple of times before pulling out a gun from his suit jacket and pointing it at me.
"You see Miss. Harker, I wasn't asking for your help. It actually doesn't matter if I bring you in dead or alive. However, I would prefer you to enter the lab alive so that we can analyze what that vampire's blood has done to you." He said, smirking at me.
Prefer you to enter the lab alive so that we can analyze what that vampire's blood has doe to you… Those words keep running through my head making my brain stop then try to work in over drive. Here I stood with a psycho homicidal idiot who was willing to kill me on the belief that a vampire who doesn't exist has affected me.
I was about to try and talk my way out of this when I heard a gunshot go off and hit the man in the white suit. Jumping in shock I turned and looked in the direction it came from to see Grandpa Harker holding a gun.
"Juliann, come here child." He ordered.
Scared and confused I did as I was told. I didn't know what was going on, but by the look on Grandpa Harker's face I could tell that he knew.
"Come on, we have to get out of here." He said grabbing my hand and heading for the front of the house where a car waited. Without hesitating, Grandpa Harker pushed me inside it before getting in himself and shutting the door as the car sped away.
Finally catching my breath I noticed that there was someone else in the back of the car with us. It looked to be a woman in a business suit with blond hair and piercing blue eyes.
"This is your great granddaughter then, Mr. Harker." The woman said looking at my grandfather.
"Yes…" Grandpa Harker said, sounding like he was confirming something.
"Wait a minute! What the hell is going on here? Who was that blonde guy you shot Grandpa Harker?" I asked frantic. I wanted answers as to why my world was not only turned upside down but shaken up as well.
Grandpa Harker placed a hand on my shoulder to try and calm me down. It helped really, seeing as more chaos was added to my life.
"It's alright Juliann. " He began as I cut him off.
"Alright, how the hell can everything be alright? All of those people back there were being killed!" I nearly shrieked.
"Miss. Harker now is not the time to freak out. I understand that this is all sudden, however we are not out of the fire as of yet." The blond woman said looking at me with the understanding she spoke of.
"My apologies Sir Hellsing, Juliann is just scared and confused." Grandpa Harker apologized on my behalf making me blush and look out the window. That was all he ever did whenever he thought I was freaking out when I had every right to. Then again, I wasn't really freaking out like he thought; I just wanted to know what the fuck was going on.
"She has every right to freak out, yet I don't think she is. It would seem that she is just looking for answers. As for being scared, she would be a fool if she wasn't, but then again, she wouldn't be asking for answers if she really were." Sir Hellsing I believe she was called said, looking over at me in my eyes. I could only look back at her in shock.
"Juliann I won't know what is happening back at your home until a report is brought forth. Other than that I can tell you that those men and that man you saw were in fact vampire scum. And Sir Integra is fine to call me by." She explained.
"Vampires; But they don't exist! I mean I get the reference of Bram Stoker's Dracula to my family, but that's just fairy tales." I said alarmed.
"Where did you find that book?" Grandpa Harker demanded as I caught my tongue too late.
"At the library in town…" I said innocently.
"Juliann I told you to not read that damned book for a good reason." He said sighing heavily.
"Then again, it's probably good that you went against what I told you. I assume that you are taking us under protective custody, Sir Integra Hellsing?" Grandpa Harker asked.
"Yes sir. The enemy found you after taking every measure to remain hidden. It seems best that I take you back with me to Hellsing headquarters as soon as possible." Sir Integra confirmed.
"Very well, just keep your pet under control." Grandpa Harker said looking out the window in defeat.
Pet. What could be so wrong about Sir Integra's pet. Grandpa Harker says it as if her pet were a monster I thought confused.
Sighing I looked out the window of the car as well as I wondered what the next luring disaster of my life would hold.
…
As you already know by now, my name is Juliann Harker and little did I know that the pet Grandpa Harker spoke of isn't really a pet at all! Whatever is waiting at Hellsing headquarters is going to turn my life in a whole other direction, I can feel it. See you in the next chapter!
