Demmie: You get the first reviewer award,again! Don't know what it is yet, but I'll be happy to give you something sweet and sugary for your imagination:) When you say you're desperate for an update...man that makes me feel awesome! Like I'm doing what I set out to do...getting you guys caught up in the story. Yeah, it sux to be Seras! She's too beautiful for her own good, just like you said! Hope this chap and all future chaps meet your expectations or at least come close. Ttyl girl:)

Lady Draculea: My apologies for keeping you waiting forever for the last update. I thought I'd give Alucard a little of a challenge and make his enemies older than him. Also, you're correct regarding your impression of Alucard and Dracula... As for killing the guys, it might be a four way split on who kills Eres and Aidan. I might even take a poll just to get a feel for who the readers would like to see destroy them. Anyway, enjoy your update and hopefully, you'll like it. :)

aska19: Told ya I was evil! hehe...Happy to hear you thought chapter 10 was kick ass! We'll see if Alucard makes it to Seras in time and keeping one of the brothers from turning her. I promise you that Seras will have her chance to shine and kick some major ass regardless! Btw, thanx for your compliments on my writing and don't worry...I'll keep writing:) Are you relieved yet? ;) God, I love that song, 'Lips Of An Angel'! I might use it in the story, but I'm not sure just yet. I'm pleased that you're pleased on the way I've written Integra, Eres and Aidan, Taylor, Finn and Alucard! Also, I try to come up with original plots or semi original ones anyway and I thought that the twin brothers and the ancient Grecian history would be kinda neat. :)

Ludifer: Ok, first I was evil and now I'm mean. Well, we've gotten almost all the bases covered so you can't stop there! ;) hehe.. If you didn't hate Eres and Aidan then I would feel as if I wasn't doing what I set out to do. I wanted them evil, mean and hated so I tried to bring that across in my plot, characterizations, actions and words. Alucard will get a piece...trust me:)

alucardgal: Well, since you really wanted to know what's next, I'll alleviate your curiosity and put out this chap! ;)

Disclaimer: See chapter one. Also, Eres and Aidan are my own creations brought forth from my sometimes overly active imagination. So if you want to borrow...then just ask!

Chapter 11: Where She Belongs

Night had fallen. Alucard, Taylor and Finn had been summoned to Integra's office through Alucard's link. All three were now standing before the strong willed woman. She gestured for them to sit, but Alucard, as usual, preferred to stand. Integra kicked off the meeting as it were.

"So, Alucard, these two boys here...since, you've given them your blood are they freaks, still, or are they considered vampires?" Her cool blue gaze swept over Taylor and Finn trying to assimilate what they've become.

True to his word, Alucard had become his psychotic persona. No trace of the gentle vampire that exists when Seras is around was left. Smirking, he darkly replied,"They're no longer of the freak ranks, my master, they've become true Nosferatu. They are the same as I. Only they lack my type of maddening personality! Dark denizens of the night ready to go hunt and fight. They will not disappoint you. That I can promise." Chuckling lowly, his laugh slowly built giving Integra and the younger male vampires chills down the spine and goosebumps along their flesh.

Integra knew she had to quickly gain back control of Alucard while he was still in the house. If she didn't, there's no telling what kind of damage he could inflict in his haste to kill the bastards that had Seras. Coldly, she snapped, "Alucard! Get a hold on yourself! Remember we have a goal to accomplish here, so get a grip and get it done!" Relieved when his countenance sobered up, Integra questioned him further. "Alucard, what are your plans for getting her back? Do you have any solid tactics?" She foolishly hoped he had some, but then again, this was Alucard and you never knew what he held up those red sleeves of his. She should've known better anyway.

Red eyes narrowing, Alucard smoothly replied, "Why master, I'll use the only tactics I've ever had." Staring at her as if daring her to object, he asked, "Is that a problem?"

Shaking her head, she muttered, "No." Crossing her arms she fervently wished he wouldn't do anything rash and get them ass deep in more trouble than they could cover.

Curiously gazing back and forth between master and servant, Finn asked Integra about Alucard's tactics. "What tactics are we talking about here? It better be damn good!"

Alucard answered before his master could reply. My tactics, boy, are all we'll need. I do what I always do. Go straight in and destroy, maim and kill. No survivors unless they're human and present no threat to myself, Hellsing or England." Turning to stare out the window at the beautiful night that had since come to life during their meeting, he turned back to them. "It's time now, my master, we must leave and rescue Seras. We can't waste another minute of the night! Every minute we spend and waste, is another moment we're not out there searching for her."

The pale blond stood slowly. "Alucard, you have my full permission to access all levels of power in rescuing Seras, should you find her, and should you need my approval for the Cromwell Effect, then call and I'll answer. You have my support for it all. No go and bring her home! That's an order, Alucard!" Spearing the younger two vampires with her icy gaze, she stated, "That goes for you two as well. All of you are dismissed!"

The minute her dismissal was given all three vampires vanished beneath her watchful eyes. Blinking at the trio's one- minute- they're- there- and- the- next -they're -gone act, she blew out a frustrated breath and picked up her pen to attempt to knock out some painful paperwork.

Seras had been lying quietly, still attached to the cold concrete. Not wanting to open her eyes, the blond felt as though she was being watched, very intently, and she just wanted them to leave. Despair welling in her soul, trying to fight off the feeling of abandonment, which the evil duo had placed within her, Seras kept repeating to herself, 'Alucard will come for me. He will come.' Those words gave her a little strength and it seemed with each passing hour of saying this mantra that she grew stronger.

A sarcastic voice wormed it's way through the darkness to crawl over her skin. "Seras, my dear, just give e up. It's so painful to watch you struggle. But it also makes it even more fun to play with you when you do fight." Aidan walked from the darkness which had hidden his form. His eyes couldn't hide the lust that emanated from them. Malicious intentions shining from his evil orbs infuriated her and also made her afraid. A vampiric lunatic, like the one coming towards her, had nothing to lose and would do everything to accomplish his goals.

Grinding out between her teeth, she snarled, "Get away from me, you bastard!" Fighting the chains that held her down, Seras violently swung at him and missed, but it wouldn't stop her from trying.

"Seras, you have no idea what a marvel you are!" Caressing the side of her face, he softly, arousingly said, "You're are savior! Eres and I both love you, Seras, our goddess." Moving towards her neck, his eyes lit in response to her challenge when she flinched and cut off his access to that part of her body.

"I'll tell you one last time to get off me!" The grim determination in her face and eyes should've been a warning, but he blatantly ignored it.

Teasingly, he asked her, "What are you going to do? Scream? I'd love to hear you scream and know you're screaming for me!" Shadows left his side and roamed up her form. They teased and taunted each and every place they touched. Aidan, pleased in his tormenting ministrations, watched as his victim fought internally with herself to fight against the pleasure he was inflicting. It was her own special punishment. To find pleasure in torture, only the kind the vampire at her side could bring.

Tears ran down her face. Seras felt extremely sickened at the feelings he was awakening in her. She'd tried her hardest to protect them. They belonged solely to Alucard and this son of a bitch had no right to touch them or her!

Something vibrated at the back of her brain and it frightened her a little. This was something she couldn't recall experiencing before. Was it something that Aidan was doing to her? Was it someone else?

Revulsion creeped from her stomach to her throat. The repeated violations she'd been through were tiresome and she was tired of being the damn victim. Something inside snapped and she began to fight back harder. Kneeing her capture where it counted, she then used her head to bang the hell out of this. "Torment this, asshole!" Using her teeth, she bit down hard, breaking the skin and taking the bite down to the muscle. Coldly, she asked in a low, psychotic voice, "Hurts doesn't it? Pain's a bitch! Hurts even worse when a girl gives it to you, doesn't it?" Laughing at his pain, Seras didn't have long to enjoy her minute victory. But she heard a voice in the back of her mind whispering to her, "Seras, hold on. We're coming for you. Hear me, Seras. I'm coming!"

Whispering back, she anxiously sent back her words on swift mental wings. "I'm waiting." That's all she said. That's all that was needed and he'd understand. In the background she heard Aidan muttering expletives that used to would've made her blush, but while being around her cousins, she'd adapted to them and even used the majority of them. Her head snapped back with the blow brought on by Aidan. She was now to face his fury at her impudence. Struggling to raise her head, she finally lifted it enough to see him. And what she saw made her afraid. Seeing him come for her, she ripped out a loud, terrified scream.

The Hellsing trio were flying over London, when Alucard suddenly growled, "We've got to hurry! Seras is in danger!" Just in case they were separated or he needed to go ahead of them, Alucard sent the information of her whereabouts to her cousins. All three put on speed and furiously flew threw the air rivaling the wind itself.

Alucard was tormented by her screams in his head. Her fear, so palpable, and her terror washing over him, threatening to overwhelm him if he allowed it to do so. Black rage echoed from him to her cousins. They felt the same as their master, only for different reasons. To Alucard, Seras was his lover and the center of his world. To Taylor and Finn, she was their cousin, obviously, but she was also the little sister they'd never had. Though she'd been younger, she'd always tried to protect them and keep them arms length away from trouble, but it seldom worked anymore.

Seras's fear hit all three of them and it only made their anger and fury that much worse. Taylor muttered, "Someone's gonna die for her pain!"

"Damn right!, Finn added.

Listening to their words and feeling their emotions, Alucard was proud of his new fledglings. They would do well. All the years of violence they'd lived would pay off tonight or sometime soon. He felt it.

Another terrified bout of screams bursting forth from Seras sent Alucard into a murderous rage. Killing intent filled the air as they crossed the final distance to her prison and tormentors.

Seras screamed again as Aidan sliced across her breast with the knife he'd summoned. The violent vampire bent down to lick and suck at the cut he'd created. Pleasure radiated in his body as her blood slid down his throat. But he didn't stop regardless of her protests and she was growing weak once again. The numerous cuts and welts he'd inflicted were taking their toll on her. They, along with Aidan, attacked her soul; made her weaker and she couldn't stand to be weak. Not like this. She already missed the fire inside. Something she'd always taken for granted.

Feeling herself growing weaker and feeling the triumph rising off Aidan, Seras gave one last attempt to save herself. Deep inside, intuitively, she already figured it wouldn't be enough, but maybe, just maybe it would buy her enough time.

Using the chains that held her prisoner, she brought her arms up together and placed them on either side of his gorgeous face. His howls of pain brought a smirk to her face. "How's that, Aidan? I'm not done yet!" Weakly, she sank back down to her hard bed. Victory, this time, so hollow because it wouldn't last.

Enraged, Aidan flew at her sinking his fangs into her breast hard. Screaming at the top of her lungs, Seras abruptly stopped the screams . The weakness was just now making it's final claim on her. Tears slid languidly down her pale cheeks. 'Alucard, where are you?', she thought. She wondered if she was dying. That was more painful than what she was suffering and enduring through because she wouldn't get to bid Alucard farewell. Seras hoped he would understand. She'd held on to this world as long as she could and it would soon be over.

Without warning, the concrete wall behind Aidan exploded; sending debris and dust in all directions. A cold voice spoke lowly, the blackened intent accenting each word. "Get away from her now! Prepare yourself to meet your gods and goddesses, you low, vampiric piece of shit trash!"

Alucard stepped from the shadows trailed by Taylor and Finn. All three had menace flowing off them in droves. Their hate filled the room and surrounded them all.

Aidan withdrew his fangs from Seras' breast. And just to piss off the trio facing him, he lingeringly lapped at the blood still welling from the wound he'd made. Licking it, he drug his tongue over it to close the twin puncture marks from his attack.

Alucard icily gave his fledglings his orders. "Taylor, Finn, I want the two of you to take Seras, get her back to Hellsing immediately and get her medical attention. Let nothing stop you or get in your way! I'll take care of things here." Blazing crimson eyes punctuated his words. "Do not fail me. Do not fail Seras. Go!"

The boys moved to grab Seras, but Aidan stepped in front of her blocking them effectively from reaching her.

Unexpectedly, Alucard attacked. He'd stepped into his shadows and then reappeared slamming him into one of the remaining walls. Barking at Taylor and Finn, Grab her and go! Now, while you have the chance!"

Taylor swiftly, but gently, picked up his cousin. He, Finn and Seras hastily retreated to Hellsing Manor to get the rest of their mission accomplished. They reappeared in the mansion holding an unconscious Seras. Yelling out orders, Taylor shouted for a doctor. Finn left to go after Integra. She'd want to know about Seras' return. And knowing Integra for the short amount of time that he'd been subjected to her, he knew she'd dismember him if she wasn't made aware of his cousin's return. Integra would want to speak with her. Who wouldn't? It would be a way for her to learn about their enemies from a firsthand account.

All the hustle and bustle surrounding Seras was just settling in as Integra walked in the room. Patiently she waited for the doctors to examine her and give her a report. There were many things she wanted to ask. But most of all, she wanted to make sure the petite girl was going to be alright.

Back at the evil brother's hideout, Aidan had overcome his initial surprise at Alucard's arrival and attack. Summoning the necessary energy, he shoved the other ancient vampire off of him and forcing him to take a couple of steps back, Aidan mentally sent a call to his brother. He'd need him to help face this ancient. Even though Eres and Aidan were older, Alucard had a unnatural power about him. His hate and viciousness, when aroused, gave rise to his alter ego who'd crush anyone and anything in his way.

Aidan had looked away just for a moment, but as his gaze returned to his enemy, once more surprise knocked on his door. His adversary was adorned in red leather that wrapped tightly around his tall, lean form. Alucard's midnight black hair grew in length to hang a little below his waist. His eyes seemed to contain the fires of hell, summoned by the vampire's hate and strong will.

Smirking, the Hellsing hunter glared at the ancient Grecian vampire. Alucard wanted to dig his fangs into Aidan's neck in repayment for Seras' torture. He wanted to drain him dry, stake him and watch the ashes blow in the wind. There were harsher payments, but, this time, he wanted to keep it simple and short. Calling upon the strength of his mind, Alucard sent a mental wave, blasting, racing towards his enemy. Nailing him, it sent him flying. Apparently, Aidan was shocked at the unexpected frontal assault.

He was on the verge on continuing his actions when he felt the familiar tingling at the back of his neck. This was the ultimate summons that he couldn't ignore, even if he tried, it wasn't allowed. He had to answer. Sending the other vampire a cocky grin, Alucard disappointedly teased, "We'll dance and bleed another time." Opening a void, the hunter quickly stepped into it and let it carry him to the familiar confines of the Hellsing infirmary. He entered the room where Seras lay. She was so pale, so quiet. Her vitals were being measured by the equipment at her side and according to the steady beeps, he assumed she was okay.

Integra sadly glanced at her servant for a moment before her iron mask came back up to hide it all again. "Alucard, I must speak with you. Alone. My office, now, please."

Torn between her command and wanting to stay at Seras' side, his decision was made by Integra.

"It won't take but a few minutes. She'll be alright in the meantime. Trust me, Alucard." She went to walk out the door, but yelped when Alucard grabbed her elbow and drug her into his infamous void.

He snapped, "If we're going to your office then we're going to do it my way."

The two of them exited the portal and into her spacious study. "Next time, give me more warning. Better yet, don't do it again. Ever!" Going to sit behind her desk, the heiress picked up a small cigar and lit it, blowing the smoke with precision into circles rising slowly to the ceiling. "I wanted to speak with you about Seras' condition. It's not too extremely serious at this moment, but what the hell happened out there, Alucard? She's lost a lot of blood. There were fang marks on each side of her neck and on her breasts. There were slice marks on her stomach and abdomen. Just what the hell did they do to her?"

At the revelation that those two had fed off her and purposely kept her weak made his blood boil. The next time they met again, they'd discover why the Hellsing hunter was so feared and why no vampire in their right mind crossed him. Ever. Any who did make the mistake didn't live to tell the tale. In reply to Integra's question, he answered thoughtfully, "I don't know what all they subjected her to, but at least she's back where she belongs. Here, with us."

Nodding her head, the blond removed her glasses. "You're right about that. When she wakes, we need to find out everything that occurred during her abduction. It won't be pretty, but we have to know. Will you be up to it?" What Integra was really asking is that with Seras being his future queen and all, could he handle her being questioned? Or would the beast inside that insisted on protecting her rage up and prevent any of them from getting to her and learning anything helpful.

His pained gaze narrowed and nailed her to her chair. "Master, have you any reason to doubt me? Have I ever given you reason? Even with Seras?"

"No, but I have to ensure that you won't interfere no matter how much duress feels and exhibits. If you try, I'll have you removed to the basement until it's over. I just had to make sure that you and I were clear on that." Integra felt sorry for him, but she knew he'd stoically take it until he couldn't. Feeling sorry for someone never changed the circumstances nor did it help them.

"Master, if her interrogation becomes to uncomfortable or angers me, then I'll willingly leave until it's done." Pain struck at his still hardened heart, from the beginning of the battle with Aidan, and the thought of leaving her alone to go through what was ahead was reprehensible. But it was that or he'd go berserk and kill those responsible for her pain and stress.

Integra's phone rang interrupting both of their train of thoughts. She listened intently and then said, "Okay, we'll be right there." Setting the phone back into it's cradle, she thinly smiled. "Seras is awake and requesting your presence. Just don't forget what we've discussed,Alucard."

"I won't. Don't worry about me. You better consider and worry about those two vampire bastards. They'll learn the significant meaning of torture that is synonymous with my name." With that, he turned and vanished from her study.

Tiredly she rubbed her temples. God help them all when he would be unleashed. Those two brothers had no idea the violence and pain that Alucard would give them in retribution. God help them all. Suffering would abound and she only hoped the destruction would be limited to the brothers' deaths. She could only hope.
