'Royal Protestant Knight's Pet Show: Integra's Version'

"And the winner of the Royal Protestant Knight's Pet Show for 2002 is…Ms. Integra Wingates Hellsing and her psychotic vampyre Alucard!!!"

After the judge called out the victor and after the applause died away, the audience and the rest of the contestants looked on with amusement as a young girl, no more than 13 years of age, prepared to put her lanky 'pet' through his 'victory' paces. The 'pet' in question, who up to this point had been obediently trotting a step behind Integra, looked at his master with eagerness etched on his face. Whining, he had the look of an enthusiastic puppy impatiently wanting to show his master what he can do. Integra began her commands.

"Alucard, come! Sit! Lie down! Good, roll over!! Stand! Now follow me. No, behind me--ALUCARD HEEL!! THAT'S A BAD VAMPYRE!!!"

A resounding smack could be heard followed by a whimper. Integra had produced a rolled up piece of newspaper and deftly *thwacked* her naughty, but very keen, vampyre on the rump. Alucard (after whimpering) promptly fell back behind her, having learnt his lesson. The crowd cheered on the young mistress, who seemed not to take any notice of the words of encouragement being yelled at her. By the expression on her face, which was deadly serious, the real show was yet to be performed. After making Alucard sit, she fished a medical blood pack from her coat pocket (Alucard gave her a very attentive look) and placed it about 5 yards away from him.

"Stay!" The girl commanded sternly. Which Alucard did with great effort, his crimson eyes never straying from the blood pack. Several times he looked as if he would bolt for the pack, but one hard glare from his Master dissuaded him and Alucard stayed put. Satisfied, Integra threw him the medical pack, which Alucard happily (and noisily) slurped away. As she patted his shaggy black hair in an approving manner, he purred and rubbed his head against her in adoration while the crowd went wild…

                                                                                                                …and a grown up Integra Wingates Hellsing woke up. 'A completely obedient Alucard?! What a weird dream.' she thought with disbelief. She promptly turned over and tried to go back to sleep, but not before vowing never to smoke a whole box of her Dutch imported cigars before bed.
