It turns out they didn't have the next lesson together, and she turned up late again for her own. The register recorded her punctuality to each class, and as she was repeatedly late, this resulted in a detention.

.

The rest of the day went by slowly, Integra managing to avoid both Jan and Alucard. Detention came and went, twenty minutes of her life she would never get back, all down to Alucard. She growled quietly when remembering him.

She spent lunch with Seras but rejected her offers of dinner. Whilst Seras was growing on her, she wasn't use to being around this many people and so instead went straight to the library. On the school laptops she ran through her father's lesson and by the time she'd finished it was ten o'clock and the library was already closing. It was growing dark outside already and the majority of students had already filed into their dorms to start on homework. She sighed, heaving her shoulder bag further up and starting across the playground. So far school was not growing on her.

.

It went on like this for some time, Integra muttering to herself about how on earth she would survive the week let alone a full year here. She was so engrossed in these thoughts in fact, she hardly noticed the footsteps quickening behind her.

That is until the last second. She spun on her heel, bringing her fist around with her and lunging forwards. Her hips and shoulders twisted, using her full body's momentum, as she'd been taught, until her fist connected with a satisfying crack, right into Jan Valentines face.

His head reeled back and Integra could see the faint blood trickle down into his mouth. He seemed to freeze in that position with his head bent backwards oddly, then, ever so slowly, he brought his head back up. Integra bought her fist back again, but stopped when she saw him. He was staring at her with eyes wide, his pupils like black pits the way they bore into her and his mouth twitching like a feral dog, angry, almost…hungry? His head swung forwards, millimetres from her own making her jerk back.

"The bitch don't need a bodyguard then."

She tried to stifle her surprise but still stuttered. "I Is t that honestly the only word you…" She stopped dead as she watched the transformation. His dark brown eyes were swimming, the colour seemed to convulse, once, twice, and then it were as if someone had cut them from behind. A crimson red colour seeped into them, like scarlet ink it dominated his pupil and she looked in horror at the vampire before her.

.

She grunted as suddenly her hair was being pulled back roughly, his hand wrapped around her platinum locks as he spun her around, clamping her to his body. She was acutely aware of the sudden hardness pressing into her back.

"So." He grinned. "You're Hellsing hu?"

She wriggled, panicked thoughts fighting for dominance over her trying to remember past training. Silver. She had none. Gun. She had none.

She grimaced in pain as he tugged harder on her hair. "Answer me." He snarled.

Again she said nothing.

He laughed. "Playing hard. Alright. I'll join that game."

.

He turned towards the school gates, dragging the young Hellsing by her hair. She clawed at his hand but when he wouldn't let go, focused on trying to lessen the pain by hoisting herself up by his arm.

"We're going to meet someone veeery dear to me Hellsing." She could hear the grin in his voice. "Someone who I just know you've pissed off."

She thought of calling for help. No. The teacher's couldn't help her, it would just hurt them.

"V, vile." She managed to hiss. "Parasite."

He laughed softly, grabbing her round the waist and jumping clean over the school gates. He landed, grabbing her by the arm and dragging Integra Wingate's Hellsing off into the night.

.

…

.

They walked for another twenty or so minutes at a pace fast enough to make Integra's legs ach, and she was reasonably fit.

"…And I tore her freaking head of right there!" He let out a cackle so sharp and loud it made Integra cringe into herself. "I mean blood, everywhere here! I swear, if you can't satisfy a customer, da'fuck does she expect!"
As usual she didn't reply, having grown bored of his stories from the front gate and instead focusing on the pain in her arm where he was holding too tightly. He took a sharp right into an alleyway- cliché yes-and stopped.

Integra followed suit and stopped as well, staring at the boy who now stood in front of her.

.

He was definitely taller and older than Jan. Blond hair much like her own, hung down into a bow. He wore a white suit and white coat draped over broad shoulders and of course, much like his brother, his eyes were crimson.

.

"Oh Luuuuke!" Jan grinned next to her. "Hellsing's number one bitch bro!"
His brother didn't seem too impressed, instead taking a long sideways glance at her. She refused to back down, instead staring back as his eyes raked her form.

"That, is Arthur's daughter?"

Fire burned through her and she wrenched her arm away from Jan, marching forwards. "That, is the future heir of Hellsing, and the future exterminator of your sorry arse." She stood a meter away from him now. "Now pray tell why have you brought me here to an ally?"

There was a laughing sound from behind. "Got a mouth on her ain't she!"

It was Integra's turn to whip round, fists clenched.

"Ya'know, I don't really know what your problem is but I bet it's bloody hard to pronounce!"

He stopped dead and she turned back to Luke who was chuckling away.

"Whilst my brother may have an impertinent mouth."

"Hey!"

"He still has a point." He leaned forwards. "We are the ones in charge here Miss Hellsing." She reframed from shuddering.

"However I see no reason in keeping things from you. You are our information, and our bargaining tool."

.

Integra reframed from turning on the spot and running away, despite every fibre of her body telling her to do so. "Let me guess, we're going to some creepy ware house, I'll be tied to a chair and you vermin will demand shed loads of money from my farther, right?"

Again he chuckled, leaning even closer. The hairs on her arm stood up as his cool breath brushed her face. Blood. She thought, He reeks of blood. For the first time it dawned that she was trapped, genuinely trapped with no means of escape between two animals. Hungry animals.

"We want something a little more than money Miss Hellsing. We also don't waste time."

Her breathing hitched. "And what does that mean?"

"It means." He grinned. "The questioning will be taking place right now."

.

It was quick. Quicker than her eyes could see. A flash and her legs had been swept from beneath her, the impact to her leg as if a baseball bat had hit it. Falling, hands clasping empty air, BANG. She cried out as her head smacked the concrete ground and the hazy figure of Luke swam above her.

He said something, but all she heard were muffled sounds. This was bad, her heart was beating fast and she knew they could hear it. She blinked furiously trying to ignore the pain and bring back her eyesight.

She saw him lean down on one knee and a hand came down and patted the side of her check. She groaned and he repeated the question.

"Where are the Hellsing grounds, and what is Hellsing's secret weapon?"

She gritted her teeth. Secret weapon? She had no idea what he was on about, but she'd be damned if she let him know that.

Her vision swam again as he pinched her cheeks together and lifted her head up.

"Where are the Hellsing grounds." He slammed her head back into the concrete. Blinding white flashed behind her eyes as pain ricocheted through her head.

He waited a moment for her to regain her senses before repeating himself. For the third time Integra remained silent.

"You know." He groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I am going extremely easy on you here. If you truly want I can call in my brother."

He smirked down at her. "And trust me when I say he is far less polite in these situations."

.

Despite the fear that pulsed through her she managed to grin back. She didn't doubt how obviously empty and ridiculous her grin was, but she did so none the less.

"I." She breathed. "Am Integra Wingate's Hellsing." She swallowed. "I work, for my queen." A pause, she licked her lips. "I work, work for my country. And I." She paused, forcing herself to breath slowly. Her head was still swimming, being slammed against the ground by a vampire had that affect.

"And I, will, will hunt you down." Luke stared back dead pan. "You don't need to worry about finding Hellsing." She continued grinning. "Because we, we will sure as hell find you."

With a large amount of effort she forced out a hollow laugh. "Better start running Valentines."

"ENOUGH!" BANG another flash and pain rippled through the side of her cheek, again as if a baseball bat had swung and hit her. She clutched her face with trembling hands, mouth opening and shutting like a goldfish, stunned.

.

This time is was Jan whose face was leering at her. "The bitch wants to play? Let's go!"

He grabbed her wrists, wrenching them away from her face and above her head. She grit her teeth as his hand slid swiftly beneath her shirt and gasped, biting her lip to stop from crying as he squeezed her firmly.

"Jan." Came his brother's voice.

Jan rolled his eyes then hovered just below her bra. He grinned. Confusion. Then she screamed as knife sharp nails raked her skin, splitting her pale flesh. Blood poured, crimson flowers blooming on her white blouse and soon soaking it.

"Jan take it easy." Luke sighed, preening his finger nails. "She's losing too much blood."

It was as if her stomach were on fire, her skin burned as it split open. Pain radiated through her body and into her very fingertips, the sharp stinging sensation never leaving, the dull throbbing of her head echoing like war drums in her skull.

"Where is Hellsing bitch." Integra barely registered his words, instead focusing on the pain. The notion of being Hellsing's leader was slowly becoming smaller and smaller, instead replaced by a little girl crying, scared, alone.

She screamed again as Jan slowly played his fingers over her flesh, digging into the cuts and once more dragging his fingers down inside them. She bucked, screamed: tried to remove him, but he simply laughed.

"The moment you decide to tell, the game ends."

"Am I to assume anyone can join this game?" Jan froze. Integra's head lolled to the side to see a hazy figure standing at the opening of the alleyway.

"Who the fu…!"

A gunshot sounded. A scream of rage and pain. The weight of Jan suddenly lifted from Integra and her head lolled to the other side to see him clutching his profusely bleeding side. Had she not been in so much pain she would have smiled.

.

The events that followed where hazy, and Integra wasn't too sure about what was said because the pounding in her head had become so bad. She heard numerous growls, the sound of angry talking. A hand was on her shoulder and wrenching her to her feet, then a gunshot and the hand was lost once again. Gravity soon took hold and the young Hellsing felt rather than saw herself falling. She waited for the smack of concrete against her body once more, but instead stopped. An arm had snagged around her midriff and she cried out as it pressed against her wounds. Another gunshot, closer this time, whilst the arm relocated swiftly lower around her hips so as not to press against her sliced skin.

.

The world was spinning, voices hazy and tears continued to stream down her face.

Still not sure whether it was Luke, Jan or the newcomer holding her she made a decision. Ignoring the pounding of her head she bent down, and then with all her strength smashed her skull back into the face of her kidnapper. A blaze of hot pain blinded her and she sobbed, a cry of shock from behind and the arm released: she fell to her knees, grazing them on the ally floor.

.

Warm. Something warm was on her knees and fingertips. Raising them closer to her face there was no denying the crimson puddle she had fallen into.

The smell, her throbbing head and stinging stomach. Without her permission bile rose in her and joined the scarlet puddle beneath her. Then, even more so without her permission, her eyes closed, her body slumped and darkness clouded her vision.
