It was Hellsing.

Hellsing

Nicoleta watched as her husband, Vlad Dracula III- Also known as The Impaler – was bound, sealed, and carted off by the famed Van Hellsing. By what she understood, he was cursed to forever serve The Hellsing's until he truly perished, or set free.

Not that she cared.

This should teach you a lesson dear husband of mine. She thought, hypnotic blue eye's drifting towards the woman the men were reassuring. Her eye's flashed red as they stared coldly down at her person, observing the woman her husband had gone after with fever. Disgusting vermin. She mentally sneered.

Mina Harker. The daughter of a Lord, with long curled brown hair, doe blue eye's, pale skin, and a soft voice. The whore her Vlad wanted to turn to be another of his 'Brides', as the humans have labeled them. This would mark the fourth woman he had turned since they had died and come back.

Nicoleta had been furious the first time he had turned some wench and declared her his 'wife', when, in truth, he was already married.

To her.

Thankfully he had realized that Nicoleta was not amused by his newest toy, and had gotten rid of her, and instead made it up to her by bringing her the hearts of those he defeated.

And yet, he had done it again a few decades later, with some beautiful little tart who had caught his attention with her dark beauty. She lasted longer then the first, but was slaughtered when she had dared to think herself important enough to disrespect Nicoleta within Vlad's hearing range. Her husband had not been pleased with this babe calling his Nicoleta a 'No good wife who's husband sought out a different woman because she was dissatisfying'. He had let Nicoleta kill the fledgling however she wished it, which was destroying her coffin and chaining her to the outside wall to burn.

The third was smarter, which is what led her to be turned, and had respected her station. Unlike the last two, she did not try and disrupt her place besides Vlad. Sadly, she did not agree with the bloodshed, and instead challenged her maker about turning people and such. He had eaten her without hesitation.

It had been so long since then, and she had thought that her darling had stopped doing this.

And then came Mina, who's spitfire personality had piqued his interest at first before it grew to obsession when the girl started to play hard to get. And yet, she had gotten cold feet when the time to be turned drew near, had wanted to run from the man she had lead on.

She would admit to letting her free, Nicoleta was done with how her husband acted with her. She was tired of how he would go out and seek other women when she was right there. She hated seeing him giving his attention to these humans instead of the wife who had remained loyal and died for said loyalty to him. So she had set Mina free, made sure to lead the hunters towards her Husband and discreetly providing them with the spell's and weapons to bind him. Watching as his eye's widened when the spell's started taking effect, the recognition of where he had seen them, and the frantic swirl of red eye's looking everywhere before landing on her smiling face.

It was glorious.

Now then, what to do. She thought. She was currently without a husband, and even then she had no desire to be anywhere near him at the moment. I might as well gather the children and depart these lands. Head tilting, she grinned as her eye's landed back on Mina.

She would not let the impudent girl go unpunished for daring to flirt with her husband.

"...Now...do they know she had been altered, I wonder."

And, while she wasn't turned, she had been fed enough blood by her bored husband to not be concidered human anymore. Vlad had not even offered to turn her for weeks, he was weary with Nicoleta's reaction, but the intent to turn the woman at some point was clear in his eyes.

She grinned sadistically, eye's glowing red as she set out towards her home and planning the girls downfall.

No one took what was her's.

It was the 1920's in New York, America where Nicoleta had decided to stay with her children for a decade or two. She had remembered this time period, and remembered the parties that was held every night. It was perfect for feeding as no one remembered much during these times, she could also train her newest 'child' here.

Most of her children were females. Women who were abused, daughters being forced into marriage, girls in slavery, rape victims, orphans, war victims, etc. There were a couple of son's, ones she had liked when they met, or those in need like the females of the group. And while the technical term was 'Fledgling' she considered them all her children as she had given them a new life.

Over the year's, she had fully turned 4 of her children. Three males and one Female. Lukas, Rhea, Oliver, and Yao.

Lukas had been a viking who was betrayed by one of his brother's, as he was suppose to be the leader of their people next. He had been drowning in the raging sea after being stabbed then tossed overboard, his armor, furs, and weapons weighing him down when he saw a mass of inky black hair swimming towards him. Nicoleta had taken a swim after traveling the world with her husband for so long. She had offered him a choice, to die as a human, or to be transformed into a beast of the night and 'live'.

Rhea had come after Nicoleta had punished her husband, she had been captured by slavers and sold to a sickening rich old man. She was starved, beaten, whipped, and raped because the man had been bored. Rhea was sent out to buy food for the evening when she had bumped into Nicoleta. Green had met blue, and she was offered freedom in exchange for being one of the Vampire's 'children'. (Which was also where she gained quite a few more children, as- unlike Vlad- she didn't have restrictions on who she could turn.)

Oliver had been framed for a crime he didn't commit, sentenced to death. He may have been a street rat, but he was an honest one- in his opinion at least. The only reason they were framing him was because the money he stole went towards an orphanage he had friends staying at, and the nobleman that was trying to buy the land was getting frustrated by his interference. He was just about to hang when everything froze in place, and there he saw the most beautiful woman heading towards him. Lukas had been trailing behind her, keeping an eye out for enemy's, as she offered him to be her child.

Yao had been a starving child when he had met her. His family had been murdered, for what reason he didn't know, only that his parents and little sister were gone. He had been taking shelter under the trees when Nicoleta had seen him, she had smiled kindly, picking him up before cradling him to her un-beating heart. She had raised him as her own son, and once he turned 22 he asked to be turned so he could protected her for eternity.

Over the years Lukas and Yao had stayed by her side, helping to care for their brother's and sister's, they loved Nicoleta too much to stray far from her. They snarled at any male that had an ounce of interest in her, Lukas being the eldest of the four remembered Vlad, and he knew that Nicoleta still loved her husband despite his infidelity. Thus, he had resolved to make sure that everyone knew she was off the market. Yao had heard tales of Vlad- and while he wasn't impressed by the vampire- he understood his mother's longing for him. He could hear the love in her voice when she spoke of him, along with the heartache, so he stayed to keep her company, to make her smile.

Rhea and Oliver had gone out to travel, and make their own family's, but still kept in constant contact with Nicoleta.

Currently the two males were with Nicoleta and their newest sibling, Alexis. She was found in a mental hospital being shocked, her dreamy persona was not favored by the girl parent's, and thus brought it upon themselves to have her 'fixed' before presenting her to the man she was suppose to marry.

The brothers had decided to liberate Alexis from there and brought her before Nicoleta. Their mother had frowned at what she was told, and offered Alexis a place in the family. The girl had smiled softly and accepted. It turned out the girl had a gift of 'seeing' things, be it a decade into the future/past, the true nature of someone, or even seeing where someone currently was. She had actually remembered seeing Nicoleta's face when she was little, which was why she had no problem agreeing to become one of her children. After a few night's to adjust to her new un-life, she had requested for her first kill to be her parent's and her bastard of a fiance.

She had a dreamy expression on her bloodied face the whole time.

"...Say that again Rhea?" The ancient said, slowly bringing her glass of blood down on the table.

Rhea, her beautiful greek daughter, scratched the back of her head. "Well...Thats what I heard from Oliver." she shrugged.

Lukas cocked his head, "Do you have a picture?"

A nod before digging into her purse and pulling out it out and handing it to her elder brother. "He doesn't look completely like the portrait, but he looks enough like him, so Ollie thought he was a descendant of Lord Vlad and yourself." she explained, gesturing towards the giant portrait Nicoleta made sure to have within every house she owned. It was before they had died and come back, she was sitting in a chair, smiling, and in her favorite dress he had bought for her. Vlad was behind her standing proud in his armor and wild hair loose, his blue eye's sparkled with life and face scruffy.

Nicoleta, who had been staring fondly at the portrait, took the picture from Lukas and frowned at it. "That is impossible. I was still a virgin when we had perished, we left after the we had wed and then he had to leave within the hour after arriving at the castle for war, so we didn't consummate the marriage. He had no need for an heir at the time, and I was in no hurry to have children so we waited. Vlad was the only one left of his family, as his brother's and father had perished some time ago. And my own parents were killed by him not long after we had wed, and I doubt he would have slept with any of my sister's. He may have been a cheating bastard, but he would never stoop so low as to sleep with anyone from my family."

Rhea blinked in surprise, "He killed your parents?"

"That is what I said, yes."

"...And...you're okay with that...?"

Nicoleta cocked a brow, "Of course. My parents were not fit to raise children. My father was a greedy man, and when he learned that Vlad, royalty, had taken an interest in me he had all but shoved me towards the man. He threatened violence if I didn't marry him, he had kept plotting and planning ways to gain all of my husband's riches and such. He was not a smart man, as once I was married I was loyal to my husband, not my family, and I told my lord about the plot. My mother- on the other hand- never liked me, 'too outspoken and violent to be a lady' she said. She tried to get Vlad's attention towards my much more younger sister, Tatia, who was always her favorite daughter and practically praised the ground she walked on." she snorted here, "Turned the girl into a right menace when she didn't get her way, bitch even tried to pour boiling water on me when she gained nothing but an annoyed sneer from him. Mother had even tried to scar me with a knife to raise Tatia's chances. It didn't work of course, but still, once their deed's were learned their fates were sealed."

"...you sound pleased." Yao noted with a wry smile.

"Their head's were a marvelous gift, they looked rather fetching above the fireplace mantle. A shame I forgot to bring them."

"Wait, thats who those skulls belonged to?" the viking said, shocked.

"Hmm."

"Huh." Rhea blinked, before shaking her head. "Back on topic. Then this vampire isn't related to you, and isn't Lord Vlad...so then, who is it?"

"Now, that is the question." Nicoleta mumbled thoughtfully, before turning to her youngest, "Alexis, do you mind sweetheart?"

Alexis, who had been feeding from a man, lifted her head with a thoughtful frown as she looked towards the picture held out to her. She concentrated, the image of the vampire traveling through the halls and into an office came to mind. Tilting her head, she watched as he stopped in front of a desk with a human occupying it, she lowered her eye's and saw a family crest on it before flickering them up towards the vampire who was staring right at her. She gasped, this was the first time Alexis had been noticed during one of her visions.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here? A little fledgling snooping where she doesn't belong." he gave a wide grin filled with teeth.

"Alucard, who are you speaking to?" the human questioned with a raised brow.

"We seem to have an invisible guest." he chuckled reaching his arm out towards her. "What should I do?"

The mortal frowned, "Alucard-"

And before he could finish, she pulled out and gasped.

"Whats wrong?" Yao questioned as he quickly went to her side.

"I found the vampire. He is working for a human, in England by the accent, and a noble from the crest on the desk."

"And what crest did you see?" Nicoleta asked curiously.

Alexis drew it quickly onto a napkin and handed it over before continuing, "His name was Alucard."

Nicoleta froze in examining the familiar crest. "...'Alucard'...?" She whispered, eyes narrowing in anger. "How dare he." She snarled.

"Mother?" Yao questioned hesitantly.

"That FILTH! Alucard?! IT IS DRACULA SPELLED BACKWARDS!" she slammed her fist into the table, splitting it. "HOW DARE THAT VERMIN USE MY HUSBANDS FAMILY NAME!" she stood up and marched towards the wall, an inky black portal opening for her.

"Mother? Where are you going?" Alexis questioned.

"To rid the world of that heathen! Boy's stay here with your sister, inform the rest of the children that I shall be back within the week!" and with that, she disappeared.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...Poor bastard."

When Nicoleta went to shred the vampire to piece she expected begging, terror, the usual when youngsters bit off more then they could chew.

What she was not expecting to find the vampire at the Hellsing manor (once she remembered where she had seen that crest before) and hear the voice of her husband in the younger version of said male. She had arrived in the office, distantly noting the male behind the desk, through her portal with a malicious aura. Yet there was no mistaking that aura of his.

"Nicoleta." the vampire, her Vlad, uttered in surprise. He relaxed out of his stance, taking in his wife who he hadn't seen since he had been bound and imprisoned. She still had the same blue eye's that he remembered shining through the darkness, the unblemished soft seeming skin, the inky black hair that seemed to float around her as if she was in the water.

"Husband." She stated, lips pursed as she cocked an eyebrow. "Alucard?" she questioned dryly.

He grinned, "It seemed appropriate."'

She didn't stick around for very long, especially since the man didn't seem even a bit sorry about that whore Mina.

She did leave him with a photo that contained the image of all of their 'new' children after Lukas, and then commented on visiting him in a decade or two before leaving.

Nicoleta was smirking at the newspaper, "Hmmm, looks like World War 2 has started." She commented, folding the paper back up and tossing it onto the coffee table.

"Mother?" Lukas questioned when he saw the smile spreading across her face.

Yao, who had been listening to the radio, turned it down to pay attention to what ever his mother was about to say.

"Gather the children," She stated, getting up from the couch and making her way to her room. "We're going to Europe to kill some Nazi's. Maybe Vlad needs some help cleaning up."

"I'll get the children." Yao stated.

"And I'll see if Oliver and Rhea want to join in the fun." Lukas mused, "I think they have some new fledglings that are still in their feeding stage, this could be like a picnic for the family."

"I want him." Nicoleta stated.

"No." Vlad- who is going by Alucard for some god awful reason- denied immediately.

"But he is so adorable!" She cooed towards the young butler, Walter, who was blushing.

"'m not adorable!" Walter protested.

"Wife of mine, we have plenty of new children already, you do not need another." Vlad said dryly. He had met all of his children, all 100+ of them (Not even including his many 'Grandchildren'), and out of them all only a handful were fully turned by his wife. He had to say she had good judgment on who should become true vampires. Lukas was a given, remembering the child before he was captured, and Rhea made a good draculina from what he had seen. He had reservations about Oliver, but the boy was a charmer and had a sly mind for combat. He reminded Vlad of one of the rare friends he had as a human. Yao...well he did not know what to think of Yao, a boy that was raised from childhood by his wife. He was strong, and a good tactician, but a bit of a pacifist, none of that bloodlust for a good battle that he and the other children had. He let it go, however, because Nicoleta seem especially fond of this child.

There were three other's, but he hadn't gotten the chance to really observe Alice, David, or Rose.

Said vampiress pouted at him, "we can never have too many children." She grumbled.

"I would appreciate it if you didn't turn one of my butler's." Arthur van Hellsing sighed as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Again."

"Hello sir Arthur." a twenty-five-year old looking Gabriel, said ex-Hellsing-butler, waved from behind Nicoleta.

Arthur groaned.

"I want it."

"Miss Nicoleta, I really don't think-" Walter started, only to be shushed by the vampire.

"Nope. Alucard isn't here to say no, and there aren't very many werewolves around anymore." She stated, staring straight at the german werewolf.

"...Mother-" Lukas started, only to be shushed as well.

Yao opened his mouth, saw the look she was sending him, "Go for it mother." and decided to change what he was about to say.

Hans twitched at the preditory look he was sent by the woman. His instincts were telling him to run, but his mind was saying he wouldn't escape even if he tried. Instead he got into a ready stance, vaguly wondering if he should just turn to smoke and escape.

The pitying looks the only human in the room was sending him was very telling.

Alucard stared.

Nicoleta stared defiently back.

Hans blinked.

"Nicoleta-" Alucard started with narrowed eye's towards the wolf.

"No." She denied instantly.

He growled, taking a few steps forward. "Wife of mine, that is a mangy mongrol."

"He has a name." She scowled.

"I will not allow-"

"Oh! You will not allow?!" She hissed back, moving towards him in anger. "What say do you have on who it is that I deem as my own?!"

"I HAVE EVERY RIGHT AS YOU ARE MY WIFE!"

"OH SO NOW I AM YOUR WIFE?!"

The two vampires were face to face, eye's glowing red as teeth were bared in silent snarls.

"YOU STILL HOLD ON TO SUCH A PETTY GRUDGE!" he questioned in irritation.

"PETTY?!" She yelled, offended, "IF THE BREECH OF THE SANCTITY OF OUR MARRIAGE IS SUCH A PETTY THING, THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM IF I TAKE THIS WOLF AS MY LOVER!"

Alucard gave a ground breaking roared of anger, throwing himself at the wolf, before Nicoleta rammed into him from the side. The two were hurdeled out of the mansion, hissing, screeching, snarling and the sound of flesh being torn could be heard.

In the room the children sighed.

"We should leave them be, it will take a while before they calmn down." Lukas stated, taking Hans by the arm and leading them all to their own rooms. "Rhea, can you tell Hellsing what is going on?"

"Sure thing brother." the woman agreed, disappearing in a smoke of red.

It took a week before the anger turned to lust, the couple quickly making way to Vlad's chambers and reconnecting after years apart.

Nicoleta stretched, letting out a satisfyed groan, before snuggling back up to her naked husband. "It seems you've missed me as much as I've missed you." she muttered, kissing Vlad's neck lightly. The arm around her waist tightened, a lazy hum being her answer.

"Still the little vixen I remember." He muttered, a hand coming up to play with a strand of hair. "You've not changed."

She leaned up on her arms, blue eye's running over his features, as she reach up and moved a stray hair from his face. "Hn. I cannot say the same, as you've changed quite a bit...in apperance that is." she crawled up his body until she was face to face with him, "A little girl? Really?"

He grinned at her, "It seemed like an amusing idea at the time." he admitted, "The faces of the enemy when they saw me slaughtering them all was glorious."

"Must have been quite the sight." she mumbled leaning down to kiss him. She nipped his bottom lip before slipping her tongue into his mouth. She moaned when his hands skimmed down her sides, before he turned them over so he was covering her, their lower body's lazily rutting against one another.

Nicoleta was the one who broke the kiss, gently cupping her husbands cheeks and staring into his eye's. "Darling, will you grant me a boon?"

"Oh? And what boon would you ask of me?" he questioned curiously.

Her gently touch suddenly became harsh as she gripped his face stared coldly up at him, making Vlad halt in his movements as he paid attention to what she wanted to say. "Never. And I mean NEVER try and make one of your whore brides again." she hissed, eues flashing red at the thought of him doing this to her again. "I cannot, and will not, be able to stand you doing such a thing to me again Vlad. You have driven me to the brink of insanity with that Harker cunt." Her nails cut into his flesh, small trickles of blood running down his face. "I will break if you do this again."

Alucard stared down at the vampiress he had married before they were turned. As a Lord it was not uncommon in that time to have more then one wife, while it was common he had only eye's for Nicoleta and promised her that she would be his only wife. He had no idea what drove him to turn that first woman, only that his instinct's were telling him to, so when he had felt that small pull towards the girl he had thought his instinct's were telling him that the woman was meant to be another wife of his.

He remembered seeing the heartbreak in his wifes eye's, remembered that was the first time he had ever seen her shed a tear.

He had hated it.

Hated that he had caused her pain, and he had tried to fix it, yet she had wanted nothing to do with him. It took him far longer then what he's like to admit that it was the precense of the woman that had her so upset. He had beheaded the girl and givin it to Nicoleta.

Two more times his instinct's had taken over and had him turn women.

Two more times he had witnessed the depression settle into Nicoleta's lovely eye's, each making her become more distant with him.

It wasn't until Harker that he realized his instinct's were trying to make him turn women not for wives, but as a companion for his mate.

Sadly by that time anyone he would turn would be labled another one of his wives by the mortals, and his true wife retreated to focusing all of her attention into taking care of the 'children' and barely glanced his way.

And as he stared down at the woman below him, seeing the madness creeping into her eye's, he silently resolved to try and get his instinct's under control. He leaned down and lightly kissed her, "If that is your wish." he whispered.

Years later had Alucard staring down at the newest 'Child' he created.

Nicoleta had become quite depressed lately, and he figured having a new child to dot on would cheer her up.

Thus, the police girl.

He hope's that he could explain why he had turned another female before his wife did something... drastic.
