Chapter 4: Betrayal

HELLSING HQ:

"This cannot be..." Integra Hellsing was flabbergasted at Seras sudden intrusion yet again. She had been spying on Alucard for almost the entire day and she had reason to believe he had performed the ultimate act of treachery to the Hellsing organisation.

"I'm sorry Miss Hellsing but it is very much the truth." She said with a neat posture.

"No...Even though Alucard has changed he would never join those Sparkling Vampires...I mean I hope that he wouldn't."

"But he was there talking to them. The leader said they found their 'tenth member'"

"Dammit...I was a fool to let him go...I should have held him in isolation but now we are doomed."

"I'm sorry Miss Hellsing..."

"You may be dismissed Seras."

After Seras closed the door Integra was left to ponder with her loyal butler.

"Milady."

"Yes Walter."

"I've been reading some more of the Archives about these so called Sparkling Vampires."

"And what have you found?"

"Well for one it is only a new phenomenon – in fact the first cases were reported only five years ago."

"So it must be some sort of cult then?"

"Well in a way it is...but it goes further than that."

"Go on..."

"You see the origins of this phenomenon was a result of a dispute between vampire elders about wether they should drink the blood of humans or that of animals – a lifestyle which they call vegetarianism."

"So because of a bunch of lowlife vampires we have these freaks roaming around?"

"Alas if only it were for that reason."

"What do you mean?"

"Well the most famous of the Sparkling Vampires: Edward is a Catholic."

Integra dropped her cigar again. "No..."

"I'm afraid so according to the records. All of the Cullen's or Edwardians as I like to call them are born again Christians of the Catholic order."

"That would explain why they love sticking their cocks up other men's arses then."

"But if this is the case then we may see Iscariot XII in cahoots with these followers of Edward."

"But to face Father Anderson without Alucard would mean the crumbling of our organisation."

"I'm afraid so."

Integra gazed outside the evening sky. The sun was descending the meadows and gave the fields an orange haze. "Dammit Alucard...you better snap out of this soon..."

EDWARDIAN HQ:

Alice yelled to the rest of the group with enthusiasm. "Hey guy's I got ourselves some fine dinner!"

Emmet salivated like a hungry dog and Jasper was rubbing his hands with anticipation. "Ooh yes I can't wait to dig in."

Alucard whispered over to Bella who was nearby. "What's with them? They're acting so unsavoury."

Bella smirked. "Oh they always act like that when we find our next victim."

Victim?

Edward beamed. "Come Alucard there's plenty for you as well."

Alucard looked in disgust at the 'victim' he was about to drink from. "What on earth is that?"

"Have you never seen a pig before? I thought you were English?" Carlisle made a smart comment.

Esme hushed her husband. "Hey the boy's probably used to other game."

"Yeah maybe he prefers fox or deer." Rosalie hypothesized.

"Well I've never consumed the blood of an animal before." Alucard said scratching his head.

"I knew it." Emmet stood up making himself look as intimidating as possible. "He's not really one of us!" He went over to shove him but Edward grabbed his sleeve and intervened.

"Now stop making a scene Emmet." He whispered as Emmet panted with rage. "I told you already that I trust him." He let go of the brute. "Besides he is only recently been this way."

"Well he can go hungry then." Emmet grunted as he returned to his feast.

"You sure you don't want to try some Alucard?" Edward asked as he whirled a glass of red liquid.

"Um I'll be right tonight...I just need to...uh...get used to you guys a bit."

"He doesn't know what he's missing." Jasper commented whilst slurping more pig's blood.

Even Bella was getting right into the beast. Everyone here was a vegetarian vampire – except Alucard.

"Oh my word you know what we forgot to do?" Carlisle said like a disgruntled parent. "We forgot to say grace."

Edward laughed. "Oh my we really have gotten caught up in our meal." He curved his finger for Alucard to join. "Come on Alucard. Would you like to take some time to make a little prayer with us?"

Alucard wasn't sure but decided he needed to do his best to fit in. "Okay then."

Edward grabbed both his hands firstly complimenting how smooth they felt and asking for the lotion he uses; he formed his hands into the traditional praying position as the group circled around their meal."

Edward instructed everyone to close their eyes as he spoke the prayer."

~"Our Lord and our Saviour...we humbly thank you for this meal we have been blessed with...your generosity for providing us with such sustenance is indebted into our very soul...we thank you and your son Jesus for continuing to feed us and guiding us vampires on the path of good..."~

"AMEN."

Alucard suddenly vomited after the prayer finished which didn't go down well with the others.

"What the hell brought that up?" Emmet yelled as he wiped red chunks of bile from his jacket.

Jasper grew suspicious. "Isn't it strange timing for him to do that just after we said grace..."

"I'm terribly sorry." Alucard tried to help clean the mess he created.

Carlisle also became suspicious of the Nosferatu. "I reckon the reason he did that...is because he is not pure of heart."

"Sure I am." Alucard tried to defend his name. "I twinkle in the sunlight just like the rest of you."

"That means nothing if you're a non-believer." Emmet responded.

"OKAY that's about enough!" Edward had to play peacekeeping role yet again. "I think me and Alucard will excuse ourselves from the meal a little early tonight."

"Fine Edward go play with your new pet!" Emmet yelled from the distance. "I knew you weren't fit to be our leader."

"What's up his bum?" Alucard whispered to Edward as they walked close together.

"What isn't?" Edward laughed. "Say do you want to see your new bed?"

"Okay."

Edward guided the Nosferatu to a makeshift bed which looked anything but a typical vampire's bed. It was a few laid pieces of wood with a tattered mattress on top.

"I know it's not five stars but for vamps like us we can sleep easy on this stuff."

"So no coffin?" Alucard asked surprised.

"Coffins are out of fashion." Edward claimed. "Dracula sleep in a coffin, we sleep on old beds."

"Interesting."

"Come lie down with me Alucard, I want to find out more about you."

"Um...okay." Alucard bounced onto the bed which creaked against the wooden frame underneath. "So what do you want to know?"

"How did one of the strongest vampires end up working for an organisation whose sole purpose is to exterminate us?"

"Well I was indebted to Lady Hellsing for awakening me after my long slumber." Alucard was trying to reflect but the amnesia must have made things difficult.

"But it seems very ironic don't you think." Edward pushed Alucard back so he was lying on the mattress. "I mean you could be out there killing and feasting as you please but chose to live a life of deprivation under her rule."

"Yeah I miss her."

Edward jumped position so he was on top of Alucard. "How can you say that? She banished you for being different don't you remember?"

"Yeah but I do remember some of the good times I had fighting freaks."

Edward fused his lips with Alucard's which made Alucard blush and eyes widen. Edward released his grasp. "Do you think I'm a freak Alucard?"

"N-n-no I don't"

The odd couple remained together in bed for the duration of the evening talking about their previous lives whilst fondling with each other in various places.

It was soon disrupted when a female voice entered the room. "How could you do this to me Edward? I thought you loved me."

Edward zipped up his pants and tried in vain to excuse himself. "Come on now Bella I was helping Alucard get acquainted with his new home."

Bella slapped his face leaving a distinct red patch in his pure white skin. "I should have known you were bi-curious, ever since you sodomised him."

"That was part of the ritual. Now everyone had to go through it even you my love." Edward brushed at her hair but she pulled back.

"No! Don't tell me that! I never had that done to me and you know it."

Edward had a cold look on his face. "Well I remember. Maybe you're just trying to repress it but it happened. Your anus bled as I tenderised it for you."

"NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Alucard was startled and wanted to run but Bella entered a fit of rage and stormed off. Edward sighed with disappointment. "Tch, women eh?"

"Yeah my fledgling Seras used to sound as irrational as that – especially when it came to drinking blood."

"Well drinking human's blood is wrong but maybe if she tried something a little contemporary..."

"But wouldn't that mean?"

"Exactly...We should make her sparkle as well..."

What could Edward possibly mean by that last statement? Let's hope Seras doesn't get caught up with all these nutjob excuses for vampires as we continue with the next chapter
