I do not own Hellsing.

Please review!


Once again she had a peaceful sleep undisturbed by the nightmares. She felt a little groggy when she woke up and had to blink several times to make the fog leave her eyes. Beside her, Alucard chuckled.

"This is why I told you not to make it a habit. If we keep this pattern up, the only way you will be able to sleep is with my help." He whispered.

"I'll keep that in mind."

She made a move to get up, but he pulled her back down. She looked up at him questionably.

"Our couple is in the middle of an argument. I think it would be wise to wait." He said.

She nodded and lay back down. The muffled voices became louder and soon they could hear what the argument was about. Helga was insisting that Gadivia was just a friend and that he was over reacting to her little peck on the cheek. Tripp countered saying that she would rather be with Gadivia than him. They continued to argue and Shayne did her best to ignore it. Suddenly she jerked as Alucards pocket began to buzz.

"Integra will be wanting a report now." He whispered, "You distract them while I find a safe place to talk to her."

Shayne sat up and pushed the lid off the coffin at the same time. The couple abruptly stopped their argument. Smiling sheepishly, she stepped out and Headed to the dresser. Silently, Tripp left the bed room and Helga moved to Shayne. As they talked, Alucard slipped out the door. Both women speculated what they where going to wear to the Frazzle. Apparently, Helga and Tripp had been invited too. Helga finally settled on black dress pants and a Purple and black corset with Black stiletto heels. After taking a shower, Shayne pulled on a long white sleeveless dress that reached just past her knees. Then she put on some dressy looking white sandals and started on her hair. After blow drying it she decided to leave it down. This time, she only used some eye liner and pink lip gloss. She felt that after last night, there was no need to draw attention to her self. Her dress was modest and covered her chest fully and there was nothing flashy about her so she hoped Gadivia would leave her alone.

She opened the bathroom door just as Alucard walked back in the room, putting a cell phone back into his pocket. Before she could say any thing, he pushed her back in to the bathroom and shut the door.

"We need to end this quickly," he began in a whisper, "The Hellsing troops are having trouble with the freaks that are over running England. They need our help. I say we try and end this tonight."

"Tonight? What happened to getting him to trust us? And getting him alone? Tonight that will not be easy." She said.

"I think we can manage it. Tonight he will undoubtedly ask you to dance again. Let his steer you away from me as he did before. He will want to get you alone and away from me. Let him do so. When you two are alone, I will come and we will take him out, leave and no one will be the wiser." He said.

"Helga and Tripp. They will suspect something is up." She said.

"So what? I doubt very much that they will come after us." He sighed at the look she gave him and continued, "Alright, I will let them know via letter that we had to leave because a problem a raised at our home, okay?"

A knock on the door caused both to jump. Regaining his composure, Alucard opened the door and Helga stood there asking them if they where ready to leave. The couples left the room and walked to the cars. Once again, Alucard drove, but this time he just drove fast and not crazy. He seemed preoccupied. Once again, after they parked he opened her door and helped her out. It was at this time he saw what she was wearing.

"Maybe this will be easier than I thought." He said, looking her over.

"What do you mean?"

"You will stand out in this crowd." He said with a wave.

As they entered the building she could see that his statement was true. Every one was wearing black, purple and red. Even Alucard was dressed in all black. Great, just wonderful. She thought. This will work out to our advantage.he said. Some one called to them through the crowd.

"John, Mina, It is wonderful that you two could make it." Gadivia said as he reached them.

"You look stunning my dear." He added when he saw her.

"Thanks." She said swooning.

He really had the charm turned up and it was certain that he was not going to let her get away tonight. This was just fine as it would work well with the plan. As Alucard left to get some drinks, Gadivia asked her to dance. She took his offered hand and he led her past the various people making out and doing other publicly indecent stuff to the dance floor. The song was a slow one, so he pulled her close again.

"I am surprised that John left you alone with me." He said smiling at her.

"He realized that he overreacted the other night and did not want to make you mad." She said.

"Oh really? Not a wise choice." He said, his voice growing deep.

"What?" she asked, hanging on to him so that she did not fall down.

"Follow me." He said seductively.

She did as she was told. In a daze, she followed him up a flight of stairs and around a massive corridor into a private room, high above the club. This must be his room. She thought.

"I am so glad I was able to get you alone." He whispered as he closed the door.

"Why is that?" she asked.

"So I can finally do this." He said stepping closer.

In one swoop he had her in his arms and he was kissing her deeply. She was stunned out of her daze and tried to step back. He held her tightly and forced her mouth open. Pushing against his chest with all her strength, she was able to step back a bit. He laughed at her menacingly.

"Oh don't be like that." He said threateningly.

Once again, he pulled her close and kissed her again, sending shockwaves through her body. It's okay he said in her mind soothingly, relax and enjoy it. John doesn't have to know. We aren't doing anything wrong, just relax. Her body obeyed even though her mind was screaming. Master! She cried, Master! Help me! Please, for the love of God help me! She received no answer.

Out side the door, Alucard was trying in vain to open the door. He heard his fledglings cry for help, but something was blocking him from responding. The same power was keeping him out side the door. He had tried to use his shadows to phase through the wall, but he couldn't. He heard a scream and roared in frustration. Inside the room was a state of chaos. The lap stand next to the bed was over turned and the struggle continued as the mirror over the dresser shattered as Shayne's body was thrown against it.

"Stop resisting!" Gadivia roared, lunging at her.

He had already managed to rip the top of her dress off and was attempting to do the same with the bottom. Out of frustration, he hiked the skirt up as he threw her on the bed. He was making quick work of his pants when a loud rumble rocked the room. Alucard had shot the door repeatedly with the Jackal to disrupt the pattern that held the spell on the room in place. He finally made it through and growled as he sprang forward to grab Gadivia off of Shayne. Faster than the eye can see, they where in a full out duel. She pulled the sheets up to her chest and watched the battle unfold. Gadivia was faster than she could ever imagine and Alucard was barely keeping up. He shot round after round of the gun. In a fit of pure rage, he threw the gun at the bed and unleashed his full power. As he unlocked the levels of the control art restriction, both Gadivia's and Shaynes eyes widened in terror. Now Alucard was laughing.

"Did you really think I would let you live after attempting to rape my fledgling and producing mass amounts of freaks? I hate scum like you! May the hounds of hell have fun ripping your sorry ass to pieces!"

He unleashed his own hell hounds on his prey, laughing the entire time. They ripped him apart slowly, making sure that he was in pain but also making sure that he could not scream. The dogs first punched out his voice box so he could not make a sound. They continued ripping him apart and Alucard took pleasure in his unheard screams. Shayne could take it no more and begged Alucard to just end it. Unwillingly, he finished his prey off and the room stopped rumbling.

"We have to leave." He said quickly.

She did not respond so he gathered her up in the blanket and transported them to the hotel room. He pulled a letter out of his pocket and set it on the night stand. He let Helga and Tripp know that they had to leave and asked them to check them out; the room was already paid for. Shayne was still staring off into space and would not respond to him. He pulled her clothes out of the closet and packed them quickly. Yanking out some jeans and a white t shirt he grabbed her up and changed her. She still did not move. They where packed and ready to go so he slung his coffin over his shoulder and roughly shook her.

"Snap out of it! We need to leave now." He looked down at her, his expression softened. "I know it is hard, but you need to stand up. I can't carry all our stuff and you. I need you to hold on to my arm while I transport us. Can you do that?" he asked.

She nodded numbly and grabbed his arm. He moved them through the shadows and they landed right in front of a startled Integra.

"What happened?" Integra asked, taking in Shaynes appearance.

He told her the events that had taken place and by the time he had finished telling the story, Integra was looking at Shayne with pity. Blood red tears started to slide down her face as the reality of what had almost happened set in. Alucard left her side for a moment to put their stuff up and Integra patted her on the shoulder.

"Go to bed. Seras and Alucard can handle the mission tonight. Do you need anything?" she asked kindly.

"No. I just want to be alone."

"I understand." She said.

Shayne made it to her room and walked past the table that held the blood and collapsed onto the bed. Almost as soon as she closed her eyes, she had drifted off into an uneasy sleep.

Alucard and Seras returned from the mission successful but a little tired. There had been over twenty different freaks to deal with along with at least fifty ghouls per vampire. This was the biggest mission they had had in a long time. According to Integra, there would be bigger and messier ones to come. Alucard left Seras to do the report while he checked up on the girl. He found her in a fitful sleep, with tears in her eyes. He watched her for a few minutes before leaving to make his own bed, as it was getting rather early. Once in his room, he sat down in his chair and poured himself a glass of whine. As he sat there lost in thought, a pitter patter of feet neared his room. He listened in amusement as Shayne raised one of her tiny fists to the door and knocked. It had been a long time since some one had had the courtesy to knock; most of the time they just let themselves in.

"Enter." He said.

She opened the door slowly and peered in. He glanced up at her and motioned her to come forward. Head hanging, she walked to him and stopped about a foot in front of him.

"Can't sleep?" he asked.

"Not well any way. I didn't think you would still be up." She muttered.

"I had a feeling that you would be here. Come here." He said abruptly, interrupting himself.

As soon as she was close enough, he pulled her on to his lap. She did not resist and laid her head on his shoulder, wrapping her arms around him. They sat in silence for a while before he spoke.

"I know that this will be…difficult for you, but you need to get over it," he said gently, "There is still so much work left to do and we will need your help for it. Are you listening?" he asked.

She looked up at him, bleary eyed. "I am listening. I don't mean to sound rude, but you don't know what I am going through." She said.

"Yes I do." This revelation startled Shayne and she looked up at him questionably.

So he told her a bit of his past. He started with the fact that he was born a Romanian prince and was taken captive at an early age by the Turks. The Sultan and leader of the Turks had brutally rapped him. His voice trailed off when he looked down at her. Was she crying for him?

"Don't pity me. I don't deserve that." He said bitterly.

"Yes you do. But I'll try to contain my self." She smiled a little.

"Time to go to bed little one, unless you are sleeping with me?" he arched a brow suggestively.

When she pouted at him, he laughed.

"Your facial expressions are hilarious! But seriously, are you going to your room or are you staying here?" he asked.

She ducked her head shyly. "Can I stay with you? Just for tonight."

"I don't see why not." He smiled.

As soon as her head was against his chest, she was drifting off into sleep. Alucard placed one hand under his head and soon he too was sleeping peacefully.
