Summary: 'The world of the supernatural is hidden by those who run the churches. Unfortunately, the world that most people think is normal and the supernatural world often collide right under people's noses. This is my unfortunate story...'

I looked over at Jackal and sighed, "You know you're supposed to be asleep..." I said. Jackal glared at me tiredly.
"Like hell...It's only..." He glanced at his watch, "5:43 pm..." He grumbled.
I sighed, "Your a vampire now...Your not a human no more..." I grumbled. He barked out a laugh.
"And I'm supposed to change my sleepin' habits because of dat?" He growled. I nodded slightly, "Yes, it does." I wonder if he's going to get it through his thick skull of his that he isn't human anymore.
"I don' care...I sleep when it's time..." He spat, obviously pissed off.
"And what is that time?" I said to him in a really annoyed manner. He snorted, "Whenever I feel like it!!"
"Your a vampire!! Vampires are supposed to sleep at night!!" I said standing up. If he doesn't want to listen to me then fine, he can deal with it from Alucard.
"And, if I may ask, what will you drink? Tea?!? Water?!?" I said in a sardonic manner. He glared at me.
"Your a vampire!! You need to sleep at night and drink blood!!" I said glaring at the idiot.
"My, my...Doesn't this sound familiar...?"Came Alucard's voice in the room. We glanced around expecting to see him.
"Sir Alucard? Where are you?" Jackal asked standing up from his spot on the sofa.
"Right behind you, Jackal..." He said as Jackal whirled to look behind himself.
"Ah!! Sir Alucard!! What brings you here?" Jackal asked, giving Alucard a nervous grin.
"I over heard your's and Alex's conversation...So...You refuse to sleep during the day? And you haven't drunken any blood since you have arrived?" He said curtly. Jackal gave a nervous laugh, "Yes, Sir...That is true..."
"You are a No-Life-King now, Jackal...Act like one..." Jackal gave a nod. "Yes, Sir," Jackal said nodding and walked out the room. Alucard smirked.
"He and the Police Girl would make a cute couple, would they not?" He said regarding me.
"Heh...Yes, they would." I said, smiling faintly.
"Even though they're to stubborn to admit it..."
"Indeed, that is true..." Alucard said sitting on the sofa Jackal was sitting on not to long ago.
"Ah...Where do I find the blood...?" A voice said. We turned and saw Jackal poking his head through the side of the door.
"Ask Walter. He will tell you where to find it." Alucard said.
"Thank you, Sir!!" Jackal said closing the door. I smiled a little more and shook my head, "Idiot..."
"Yes...But apparently the Police Girl likes him...Hmhm..." Alucard chuckled suddenly.
"The Police Girl might have chosen a mate...Now all she has to do is become a No-Life-King..." Alucard murmured. I cocked an eyebrow.
"Mate?" OK this was way over my head, and I'm a guy that slept at libraries and had Vatican training.
"Yes...But she must become a No-Life-King to claim him..." He said, propping his head on his hand. I cocked an eyebrow.
"Who are you?" A voice said behind Jacqueline. She turned to regard the young man standing there.
Hm... He is quit handsome...Not to cute or 'manly'...Lean and slightly built... But zhen again, guys like these had a bad personality to begin with…She thought faintly.
"Are you Dimitri, Sir?" She asked.
"No, I am sorry. My name is Bastien D'Arintin, Ma'am...And may I inquire what yours is?" He asked Jacqueline politely and even gave her a small smile.
"My name ist Jacqueline, Monsieur" She said.
Bastien nodded, "So...What is it you need of Dimitri?" He asked. Jacqueline smiled...
Alucard and me ended up talking for about an hour before Alucard turned his head slightly as if he was listening to something I could not. He sighed and nodded.
"It seems we have a mission..." He said standing. I nodded and stood also, putting out my pseudo-cigarette. It was a mere six minutes before we arrived at Sir Integra's office.
"I have another mission for you all." I nodded as Alucard leaned against the wall listening. It doesn't really look like it, but I think he is...
"Sir?"
"Yes, Alex?"
"Is the mission just for me and Alucard?"
"Yes, The Wild Geese and the Temp Silhouette are your backup should you need it."
I nodded. "Good...They would only hold us back. Will the Police Girl be joining us?" Alucard asked, eyes glancing over his glasses.
"I have yet to decide. I will send her when I deem it necessary" She said puffing at her cigar.
"What is our mission, Sir Integra?"
"We have a large breakout of vampire activity 39 miles east from Read. You are being sent to deal with the problem."
"When will we leave, My Master...?" Alucard said, amusement apparent in his voice.
"In approximately two hours. Get ready." She said turning the back of her chair to us.
"You are dismissed."
"Yes, Sir!" I said walking out, Alucard apparently decided to stay behind.
ONE HOUR AND 46 MINUTES LATER
We stood outside a ghost town.
"Damn...Looks like someone's been having a bit too much fun..." I murmured. I glanced around. There was blood covering the road. There were bloody handprints on the vacant shop windows. The smell of death clung thickly to the air.
"Hmhmhm...Pathetic... Truly pathetic. Wasting so much blood..." Alucard sighed, "I will handle the head FREAK vampire. Keep the Ghouls off my back." He said walking, faintly I could hear 'Situation A. The Cromwell Approval Is Now In Effect. Hold Release Until Target Is Silenced...' and then a chilling, insane laughter was heard though the empty streets.
Out of all things, he know that I have limits, I thought while shivering, as I lost sight of Alucard I could hear faint moans that were getting louder with each passing second. I drew Mâhnire and Fericire and took my fighting stance as the first wave of Ghouls came into my line of sight...
"WHAT?!? The hell do you mean 'I have sent him on a mission!'" Jackal yelled.
"It is as I said, Jackal...I have sent Alucard and Alex on a mission." Integra said, puffing out a long stream of smoke from her cigar, "And I advise you to control you language while around me..." She said, glaring at the newly born No-Life-King. Jackal scowled.
"Yes, Sir Integra" He said, collecting a business like tone, all trace of his accent gone.
"I would have sent you but Alucard said you still had need to control your newfound abilities."
"That is correct, Sir Integra." Integra nodded. She looked back at Jackal, "Would you really like to go...?" She said, a small smirk appearing on her fair, cold features.
The waves of ghouls seemed endless! I slice down three, four more appeared!! My arms started to tire...I don't know how long I can last. If I phased all the ghouls through the floor, it would have really tired me out, but I didn't. It felt like hours...But it had only been a about forty minutes...I recalled something Sir Integra told us 'The population of the town of Holded is approximately 146.' I growled out in partial anger backup would've bee—
"Die!! Damn zombies!!" I heard, amongst the flurry of battle. I turned to my left to see, none other then that idiot swinging his zweihander at the Ghouls, slicing him or her to shreds.
"Oi!!! Ghosty!! Heard ya needed back up!!" He said, his back to mine.
I gave a chuckle, "You must have telepathy now, huh?"
"Ja!! I guess I do!! Or it could be my unnatural ability to come at perfectly random times!!" He said jokingly.
I sliced a Ghoul's head off as he swiped his sword into the army, lopping a good ten heads and shredding torsos. One off the Ghouls to my right lunged and grabbed my arm while another grabbed my leg.
"JACK!!" I yelled as they drug me down. A two shot unison rang out, blowing the two Ghoul's heads off. I sliced another Ghoul, and I heard insane giggling from a rooftop.
"You alright, Ghosty?" Jackal's voice rang out as he tossed his zweihander into the Ghouls and whipped out his shotgun.
"ZOMBIE REPLELENT!!" I heard him sing out happily, as he pumped the shotgun again and blew away some more Ghouls. I sighed as I danced the dance of blades. Blood splattered upon the walls, moans and growls rang out. Shots felled the damned Ghouls, flesh was shredded and torn, and all the while I never noticed my companion losing his control...
"PATHETIC!! IGNORANT THINGS OF HELL!!" Jackal yelled out. He through his shotgun into the mist of Ghouls, and began slicing them with his bare hands.
"HAHAHAH!! COME AT ME!! FIGHT ME!!" He yelled and he round house kicked a Ghoul and crushed its head beneath his boot. He tore the small army of 146 Ghouls into nothing more then torn flesh and puddles of congealed blood. He turned to me, an insane smile played on his blood-covered face. He glared at me and I shuddered at the look he gave me as we continued to kill the Ghouls. It was another 23 minutes later before the Ghouls were dispatched.
That's when I realized that that something was really wrong...
"Jack!! Are you alright?" Vick asked running over to us.
"Don't!!" I yelled to her. She slowed down, only a few feet from where Jackal and me stood.
"Jackal, Are you alright?" I asked. His smiled widened as he stepped forward, blood dripping from his hands. I took a small step back. I had a really bad feeling about this…
"What ist wrong, Alex...? Is somethin'..."? He chuckled, "Amiss...?" He whispered tilting his head to the side.
"Jackal...? Snap out of it!!" I yelled at him. He merely chuckled and shook his head slightly.
"Poor, poor lil' Alex...Scared...?" He sneered, His Southern accent thickening.
"Jack...? What's wrong with you...?" Vick said from behind Jackal. He chuckled again and turned to face her.
"Why!! Nothin' ist wrong, Chere!! Nothin' ist wrong wit me!!" He said sweetly to her.
"But then...Why are you trying to hurt Alex? He's our friend!!" She said, quietly.
"Jack...?" Vick said, reaching her hand out to hold his shoulder. He grabbed her hand and tugged her to him.
He grinned, "I'm so hungry, Chere...I want somezhin' WARM..." He said, as he tilted Vick's head to the side to expose her neck.
"Jack...? Don't...!! Please!! I don't want to hurt you...!!" Vick pleaded, as he neared her neck. Dammit!! I had to act fast. I lunged at him; He turned his head slightly as he dodged my attack.
"Pitiful..." He whispered chuckling.
"Jack!! Stop!!" Vick pleaded again, shaking slightly in Jackal's arms. He chuckled.
"But why...? This is so much fun!!" He laughed and looked over at me. He grinned, showing me a very fangy grin.
"Let her go, Jackal...Don't make me hurt you!!" I yelled at him. I could really hurt him badly, but I don't want to deal with the wrath of Vick.
He shook his head, "Make me, Alex..." He growled out. I had no choice. I lunged at him as he dodged my attacks again and again.
I was already weakened by the battle before and the bastard took advantage of that. He grabbed my shoulder and kneed me in the stomach. I coughed and clutched my stomach, trying to regain my breath. He chuckled as he kicked me into the ground, his boot rubbing my face into the dirt.
I grunted in pain as I felt my head screaming at me in agony. He placed his foot on my throat. I couldn't breath and even worse, my supernatural talents wouldn't do well currently. My line of vision started to black out. When the blackness started to take me into blissful, painless sleep. I heard a loud thunk and the pressure on my neck disappear. I gasped for breath.
I opened my eyes and saw Jackal clutching his head. I instantly looked for Vick. I found her holding her sniper rifle like a club. I blinked and quickly stood up and turned to face Jackal.
"Bastard..." I gasped out. He turned to me, eyes dazed and confused.
"What...What happened...??" He mumbled.
"And why the hell did you call me a 'Bastard'? You prick!!" He growled out rubbing his head still. Vick stepped forward and looked at him.
"Jack!!" She said hugging him tightly.
"Eh? Why the hell are ya huggin' me?" He said scoffing.
"Jack...What happened to you? You...Freaked me and Alex out and..." She stopped and drew in a shuddering breath and smiled.
"Are you alright?" She asked. I nodded and we turned to Jackal.
He shuddered. "I don' know... But...My head hurts like a bitch!!" He said, putting his hands down by his sides. He gave his head a vigorous shake and looked back towards me.
"I'm sorry if I scared you guys!!" He said, rubbing the back of his neck. I sighed in relief. I thought for a moment there I was going to fight him.
"Where is Sir Alucard?" He asked, seemingly back to normal. I made a mental note to myself, 'When Jackal starts speaking in a thick Southern accent again and also has a insane look on his face...KEEP THE HELL BACK.' I nodded to the mental note satisfied.
Just as I nodded we heard a crash of glass and a figure running away from a building in the distance.
"The livin' hell...?" Jackal said. "That must be the target...Oi, Vick?"
"Yeah, Jack?"
"Can you take the FREAK out from here?"
"Hehehe!! Hai!!" She said lifting her sniper rifle. Dual shots rang out blowing the FREAK's head and torso into a mass of bone and flesh. Jackal and I whistled in unison.
"That was a helluva shot, Vic!! Best one yet!!" Jackal said smirking.
"Damn straight!!" I said, nodding. Vick laughed, "I could've done better..." She giggled as we walked to the FREAK's body.
Blood was still gushing from the severed neck in small gouts.
"Who shot the FREAK?" Alucard asked, as he pushed himself of the wall he was leaning against. Vick smiled and nodded (in a sheepish way), "I did, Sir!!" Alucard looked at her.
"With glasses on? Not to bad for a human." He chuckled, "Our job is done. Let us report back to Integra." He said vanishing into the shadows. We sighed.
"I hope you two brought a car..."
"Well...All I got is a bike...Me and Vick doubled up."
"Bike?"
"Ja, you know a motorcycle? A Harley to be exact" He said proudly.
"So...Where the hell am I supposed to sit?"
"Hell if I know!!" He snorted walking off with Vick behind him.
"HEY!! GET BACK HERE, I DON'T HAVE A RIDE TO GET BACK!" I screamed running after them.
In the end, I had to hitch a ride on an 18-wheeler. Although this was the way I travelled before getting stuck here. Usually that was a peaceful ride, but riding with a bunch of frilly dresses really cramped my vagabond-type style. That's it, I'm going to steal one of these and put Jackal into it and… Goddamit! I keep forgetting that vampires cannot have their pictures taken. Looks like I'll have to take my revenge in another way. I just hope that I don't fall asleep and end up somewhere halfway around the world.
I woke up when the driver stopped finally. I got out and noticed that I in the back of a department store in London. I got out before he realized that I was there. Now all I have to do is to find my way back to Hellsing without being arrested for weapons possession.
But something caught my eye: The jewelry store that I was trying to steal the necklace from a few months ago. Well, I had practice with going through things and I phased my hand through the outlet box. The power went out of the place.
Perfect, I thought as I phased through the wall…
