Igne Natura Renovator Integra

Chapter Two

The Police Girl sat on her coffin, a sigh of exasperation escaping her lips. It had been three weeks since Seras first saw that vampire. She couldn't stop think about him; all other vampires died after being shot by her master, but not this one. He regenerated his form and finished their job for them. Strangely enough, before that even occurred, the man tried to help them. It was just so...odd to her.

Naturally, she and Alucard reported to Sir Integra about the vampire. Sure enough, she wasn't happy to hear he got away, but she didn't curse at them for it once she heard Seras's end of the tale and recalling the bat that spoke to her, as well as mentioning his words prior. "Stay on guard," she ordered, "We don't know much about this vampire, nor do we know why he's making contact. I don't want any brash decisions made without direct orders from me. Once we know more, then I'll decide what to do about him."

Seras didn't know whether or not to be relieved about Integra's orders. That night...she wanted to talk to him more; to know more on what he meant. He had been hunting the vampire that created those ghouls for a little while before Hellsing showed up, and even waited for the night they would. He knew that she and Alucard would be there, but what followed wasn't a strike, but a phrase of compliance. " 'Beggers can't be choosers?' " She quoted in wonder. The man had more than enough power to be able to handle the vampire himself, so it wasn't like he needed Hellsing's help to manage it. "Then why did he wait for us?" She questioned herself.

The door to her room opened with a bang, Captain Pip Bernadotte standing in the doorway. "My apologies for barging in, Mon Chere, but the boss wants to brief us on our latest assignment." Seras nodded, standing up before heading upstairs with the man.

Integra had everyone gathered in the study of her home. Alucard had his seat by the window patiently awaiting the arrival of the captain of the mercenaries in the room as well as his fledgling. Walter had set up a screen and projector set up by Integra's orders, which was a bit odd. Whatever was going on, it must have been big if she had to build a presentation just to organize everyone.

The pair walked in, and once they were seen, Integra ordered everyone to quiet down and pay attention before turning the lights off and the projector on. The first thing they saw was a dead woman; drained of half her blood supply by a vampire, if the bite marks were any indicator. Whether or not it was an attack or a consensual draining didn't matter, for she died before turning into anything, as evident by the wound in the center of her forehead. "We have a new pig to deal with." Integra announced, disgusted that she found a creature she thought more revolting than the man who ran Iscariot.

Everyone perked up at the tone; something about this case made her pissed off and that called for the guilty party's blood. "In a small town in Southern Wales, six girls were found dead in a back alley near their homes. They were all sexually penetrated; four of them willing, the other two raped. As this vampire violated them, he began to drink their blood and seemed inclined to drain them fully. However, coroner reports reveal that he was interrupted."

Alucard couldn't help but perk up in interest. Interrupting a vampire feeding was dangerous, it didn't matter how good you were as a hunter. The only people walking the Earth who could do such a thing without getting killed was the No-Life King himself, as well as the Judas Priest of Iscariot. "According to their reports," Integra continued, changing the slide to show them the diagram made by the law offices, "a thin blade entered the girl's skulls from behind, before exiting through the center of the forehead. It was quickly removed, and then, judging by the damage to each crime scene," she paused, changing the slide to show what remained of on of the scenes, "this person continued swinging the blade in an attempt to kill the freak."

The projector was turned off. Walter turned the lights back on so everyone could see their employer. She was frowning deeply, and her eyes listed hell in the future. "You have two objectives," she informed them. "The first, as per always, is to search and destroy this creep. The second is to locate the person hunting him; I want to know how he knows where this person is striking and why he hasn't been able to kill the bloody thing."

Everyone nodded, a strict expression on their faces, minus Alucard, who was smiling the same as always. "Now, get going before he finds his next victim!"


I wonder if you guys can put together what's going on...maybe next chapter?
