Disclaimer: I do not own Hellsing. But I sure as bloody hell wish I did! sorry! Just trying to be British like them in the show.
A/N: okay, first off, I am very new to Hellsing. I am so new, I've only seen three and a half Anime episodes and I just finished reading the first Manga of the series. So that's how new I am. But I loved it sooooooo much that I'm going to purchase DVD episodes. So if I make any mistakes or you want to fill me in on any other characters, please do tell me. thanks! And at the beginning of every chapter, I try to put a song. So it's kind of like a songfic! This chapter's song is 'Lucky' by Hoobastank. And the song is in italics. Also, thoughts are in italics as well. Please enjoy
Chapter 1
Vampire at my Doorstep
I knew how it felt to be another one in need of someone to show the way
Until you saw a part of me that nobody else could see and my life hasn't been the same…
You make me feel lucky as I can be…
Integra Wingates Hellsing sat calmly at her desk overlooking the courtyard of the Hellsing National headquarters. She tapped her pen annoyingly as she let out a sigh. Lately, there had been no excitement. No reports of vampires had been sent in, so her team was sent off on a diminutive break for the time being. Meanwhile, she was still stuck inside her spacious yet stuffy office to finish barrels of paperwork. Paperwork that she had no intentions of finishing. She was too lost in her own thoughts.
These thoughts…they were something she never bothered to ponder. Something she didn't favor to think about nor had the time to. She was usually so busy, but today, and the previous days, she was not. So it continued to cross her mind. And it concerned Alucard.
Integra had made a vow to herself that she would let nothing stop her in her quest to keep her country (and surrounding countries) safe from all harm of any form of ghouls. And she was almost positive that this very feeling would interfere with that vow.
It was almost one in a million that something like this would ever happen to a very well trained professional such as herself. But somehow, in that one in a million chance, it did.
Integra believed that she herself, had fallen in love with Alucard. Her own 'employee' so to speak, of her own inherited business. She realized this had happened when firstly, she noticed her constant anxiety over his safe return. Not for her business, but for her own sake. And when he did go out to fight, she missed him terribly. Secondly, he always made her feel confident and strong. And that she didn't know what she would do if anything were to ever happen to him.
These feelings had slowly developed over the ten years that they had been working together. And now, they felt stronger than ever. Like they had a striving life of their own. And her being around him, fed those feelings, making them powerful. Ever since he saved her from her evil uncle's bullet that almost ended her life, she felt that the night in shining armor she hoped for, had come. And that someday, she would tell him how she truly felt.
That day was approaching.
Her reflections were soon interrupted by the ringing of her phone.
"H-hello?" she said shakily as she grabbed the receiver of her Victorian telephone and jammed it in her ear.
"Good evening, my lady" replied a man's voice. It was Walter. "How are those papers coming along?".
'Arg! Those bloody papers…' she mentally protested as she ruffled the parchments around so her piles looked organized again.
"Uh, coming along just fine, Walter" she finally replied.
"I'm sorry about all of this. I know how much you probably wish you could take a break as well" the man apologized.
"Oh nonsense, Walter. My job is more important than any folly I could take care of at home" Integra replied 'although my flat could use some tidying up…' she thought.
"No, no, my lady! You are the one speaking nonsense! Even the head of the Hellsing family business deserves a day off. So why don't you gather your things and take off for now. I'll take over for you and call you if your needed" Walter offered.
Integra thought deeply about this decision. She was a bit exhausted, after all. She could really use the rest.
"Okay, Walter. You win. I'll see you back in a few hours" the woman replied as she hung up her phone and headed out the door.
Just as she had left, Alucard swooped down from the ceiling.
"Integra? Helloooooo…? Anybody home?" he called, "Hmph! That's a bit queer, she was here a second ago…".
He searched all around her office and still found nothing.
"Where the blazes could she have gone? It's not like she went home…". Alucard considered that last thought. "Ah! Well bloody Hell! Maybe she did go home! Whatdaya know…"
And with that, Alucard sank down into the floor below him.
Integra Hellsing's house was quaint and untidy. Even the yard was in need of better care. She would hire a gardener, but she was almost never home anyway, so she figured it useless. Save the expenses for something more significant. Distracted by her frustrating car door lock, she hadn't noticed the 'visitor' shall we say, at her door.
Fiddling with her house keys, and letting a few curses slip underneath her breath, she accidentally tripped over something.
"Goddamn it! What the hell…?" she looked down and saw the most peculiar and quite vile sight.
A young girl, no older than twelve, lay battered and torn on her doorstep. A scar on the side of her neck that had blood still gushing down her blouse, and a note pinned to her dress that read: 'FEAR ME HELLSING'.
Integra was so shocked and disgusted, she could hardly breath. She felt like screaming. She began to tremble as she knelt down to prop up the bleeding girl.
"Oh…oh my god…". She studied the bloody mark on the girl's neck and could not believe her eyes. The 'mark' was a bite. Not just any bite. This was the work of a vampire.
She normally would not be so surprised and sickened, but this was just a twelve year old girl. She would never have a chance in life. Now, she was just a beast that would be feared by all.
Integra reached a quivering hand over to the girl's face and pulled her lip down, revealing two pearly white rows of sharp blade-like teeth. Exactly like Alucard. She was indeed a vampire.
Integra suddenly felt dizzy. Her mind felt blank and foggy and her vision blurred. The last thing she saw before passing out was the silhouette of a tall man in a funny looking hat…
To Be Continued in chapter 2…
Yo! Wazzup!? Did you like my story? It's my first Hellsing fanfic so please have mercy! just kidding! Okay, I know it's kind of weird to picture Integra with Alucard. Actually, it's hard to picture her with anyone. I thought she was a man when I first saw her. It wasn't until I read the Manga when I realized she was a woman. Isn't that sad? Sorry to all you Integra fans but they kept calling her sir! Well, now I'm a big fan of her and Alucard and I would love to see them together. But, that's just my opinion . Please review and tell me what you thought!!!
