Integra Hellsing entered the home broken in by vampires. There have been a streak of vampire attacks for the last month and they have been tracking them, trying to find anything to be ahead of the vampires. One thing seemed to tie all the murders and break in; the company Grunnings. All those who died were board members. The recent attack and last one on the list were one Vernon Dursley of 4, Privet Drive of Surrey, Little Whinging.
They had interfered but it was almost too late. The husband was mangled beyond recognition, the wife raped and murdered right before her only son. The boy's hair had gone completely white and was shaking when they brought the boy in. They obviously couldn't get anything from the traumatised child who was barely six years in age. Seras Victoria had been the operator who busted in while they were in action. They had wanted to contact the Dursley anonymously and moved them under their protection but Seras had come when the vampires were already inside and one had answered the door to shoo her off.
She had shot the bastard on the spot and had tried to stop the raping monster upstairs but the beast had shot the women, emptying his leads into her as she stared into her son's eyes, just as Seras finish dealings with the grunts downstairs.
Integra found her vampire staring at the dead bodies lined up in the lounge room in the body bags. Her nose was hard at work as she sniffed the air and Integra found it strange, "What is it?"
Seras turned to her, "There was something in the air around this place. It smelt like blood but it was…pure…?"
Integra frowned, knowing that it can only mean one thing; magic had been involved. Not the kind that had her moving her men but the kind that usually surrounds the home of a magical family. She never been to one but she know of one man who knew this things deeper than she; The Thirteenth Knight of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table or simply known that the Conglomerates, otherwise known as Merlin. It was a title earned by a magical member who had done and earned the royal families' trust and elected by the ruling monarch to be their Magical Advisor. Only certain members in the elites of Britain's monarchy and nobility knew of the Merlin's true identity as well as his existence. Integra were introduced due to the fact that vampire cases sometimes were related wizards.
Her work were closely related to the Magical Britain's community that it was important that she was kept updated of recent events of the world that she had never stepped in or of society she had never been in contact with. Only the Unspeakable of the Ministry of Magic work closely with them but not even their Minister or her side's Minister knew of their connection.
Integra wondered if she should write to Merlin when a call bring her out of her reverie, "Integra speaking,"
"Sir, we have a…complicated case here…" The soldier on the other end sounded very unsure and she wondered what vampire can make it complicated for her trained men. Unfortunately she can't send Alucard who had just returned to her as he was still recovering his immense loss of strength from thirty years ago. Luckily she didn't need to send her aces every time there was a case.
"What is it?"
"It's a boy…he lives with a vampire…one that rival…Lord Alucard…" Even the soldier sound unbelieving of his own words.
Integra spine straightened, "What?!" A vampire that rivalled Alucard who was considered the King of Vampires?! There weren't many that can rival him. A fact that, unfortunately, drives said vampire to tears with bore…which was dangerous for everyone in the immediate vicinity. Integra growled, "Philip!" Her driver looked at her through the rear mirror and nodded, turning a sharp corner to change destination.
They soon arrives the poorer side of Surrey and Integra watch with interest as Seras landed next to her, her men had surrounded a tiny hut and were all ready for serious battle as a bleeding man stood before them; his shirts were half off and littered with holes and barely held together. But what was more interesting were the defensive stance he had before small shivering figure behind him and this figure can be seen only because there were a large hole through the man's body.
Integra asked the commander in charge who had ran to her upon her arrival, "Sir!"
Integra nodded to the small bundle, "Is that the child you spoke of?"
He nodded, "Yes. A resident saw the man assaulting another and, well, drink his blood. He knew who the man was and had run to the nearest police box. They local authority was on high alert due to the recent vampire attacks and they had immediately notify us. We hadn't wanted to interfere until they mentioned that a child has been seen with said vampire and we had wanted to lure the boy away but he had alerted the man when we had grabbed him to separate him,"
Integra frowned, "Had you not suspect that the boy might be a vampire himself?" It won't be the first case where a vampire had turned a child. But vampire will avoid turning a child because of the responsibility coming with them and the damage control.
The commander shook his head, "We found the boy scavenging late evening. The sun was still high and the day was clear. The police that alerted us recognise him,"
Integra frowned, "Where did the civilian saw the vampire attacking his victim?"
"She saw him in a dark alley, sir. It was dawn and it rained last night,"
Understandable and not impossible, vampires sometimes hunted before going back to their den, it won't be the first report of vampire sighting so early in the morning. Integra looked up just as another bazooka fly at the vampire, hitting his head this time. There were silver stakes sticking to his body and his left leg was completely pulverized.
Integra watched as they brought more blessed silver stakes, an idea she had after her encounter with Paladin Alexander Anderson. It helped a lot with the lack of Alucard by her side and Seras own shortcoming having still being a newly made vampire.
It has been decades since the last time they this kind of problem with a vampire. She felt the familiar presence of Alucard prodding her mind, "Master, would you like me to settle it?"
Integra huffed, "Oh, you would love that won't you?" But no, there were no need to call her ace of aces. She could see the vampire weakening. Certainly he must be old, but couldn't possibly rival Alucard. She doesn't blame her men for making the mistake of comparing this vampire with her Alucard. They have only heard tales of him since coming into her army.
Seras come up next to her, "Master?"
Integra shook her head as the vampire soon fell before the might of modern technology. She sighed as the soldiers tensed, as if waiting for that thing to come back up. After few minutes pass, the child stood up and looked at the mess before him. He then started to cry silently as he knelt down and shook at whatever was left of the vampire. Integra stepped up, "Regardless of him taking care of you, a vampire is a vampire. They cannot change their nature," She looked down at the boy who had his right eye covered by an eye-patch, "One day he will slip and you will be his next meal,"
She looked at the commander and with a silent order told him to take the child. The boy struggled, "Abel! Abel!" He gave quite the fight but his stick thin arms couldn't possible pry the muscled arms of her commander. Seras grimaced, "What did he do to the boy? He's obviously malnourished,"
Integra frowned, wondering if the boy was stolen at the mere whim of a vampire or was he taken away from a different hell. The way child behaved was like a child who had been taken from his parents. He sat stiffly in the limousine all the way back to the estate where they have an orphanage of sort for children whose parents were victims of vampire attacks. Most these children will end up being part of Hellsing Organisation. She left him with the Dame in charge of the orphanage while she goes on the phone with the chief police officer who had to clean up Surrey.
Seras went back to her room to feed and rest as dawn was close. It had been a long night. Integra looked as the large child from Privet Drive sat at the chair before the Dame's office as she put down the receiver. If she recalled correctly, his name was Dudley Dursley and a nurse was trying to make him at least drink. Dame Wendy sighed, "He woke up with a scream and won't come up from under the bed, took us the whole night calming him down. Candice somehow broke through,"
Integra recalled how Petunia Dursley had looked and compared her to Nurse Candice, "Perhaps because she reminds him of his mother," Candice does resembled Petunia a little; bony frame, a rather long face and blond hair. The only difference was the eye; Petunia looked a little mean while Candice had that softness needed for this sort of job.
A sound brought her attention away and she looked as her most recent case appeared in the arm of the male nurse dressed in the orphanage uniform, clean and clawing at his charge. Thomas grunted as the boy nearly clawed his eyes out, "Whoa there, calm down!"
Wendy gasped, "What is wrong with him?"
Thomas shrugged, "I cleaned him up since he's so dirty and he when stone-like when I undressed him, won't even make a sound when I put him in the tub. But right after I dressed him, off he try to run for the door. Had to wrestle him here," At that moment, Dudley saw the other boy and gasped, "Harry?"
The boy, Harry, froze and looked at the larger child, "Dudley?"
