Beginning or End?

The little girl began to stir on Integra's bed. Seres and the others were by her side as soon as they saw movement.

"Kathy, are you ok?"

"Why is everyone here?" Kathy rubbed her eyes.

Seres kneeled down beside Kathy. "You wondered off from my room and my master found you by his room. You have been asleep for a week now."

"Really? Wow."

Half the people in the room sighed in relief, the others smiled or laughed at her innocence. Everyone began to leave and return to their duties. Alucard was the only one who remained.

"Alucard?"

"Yes?" His hat sat on the bed and he looked over his glasses at her.

"The dream I had......."

"Is only a dream." He walked over to the bed and grabbed his hat, putting it on and smiled a toothy grin at her.

Kathy sat in bed and watched him leave, holding onto Alice tight. "It was so real."

"You scared all of us young lady. "Seres came in with a tray of food and milk.

"Thank you." Kathy eyed the food as Seres sat the tray down in front of her. Kathy grabbed the sandwhich and ate it like she had not eaten for days, which she had not.

"So was it a nice dream?" Seres smiled at her.

Kathy paused in her eating and looked at her doll, Alice. "I don't know. It seemed nice in the beginning but ended up turning into a nightmare after I killed two people I thought was my friend and lover.

"Lover?" Seres said surprised. "Was he cute.?"

Kathy only blushed at the question as she drank her milk and finished her sandwich.

Seres picked up Alice and looked at the doll carefully. "This is a nice doll. I've only seen one like this one in an antique shop. Did your parents get her for you?"

"My great grandmother." Kathy paused before asking her next question. "Seres?"

"Yeah?"

"What happened to me in the hallway? I know I was following Alice down the hallway and then......"

Hands the doll back to Kathy. "Not sure. Master didn't say much about it. He was wondering about your doll though. Do you know why it is alive?"

"My great grandmother and I was playing up in the attic one day and I found a book. I asked her what it was and she didn't know till she looked at it. It was some old spell book, so for fun, she said one and casted it on Alice. But nothing happened and then I found out a month later she died of cancer. That's when Alice started talking to me."

"Oh, well, anyway....your scream is what woke me up." Seres looked at Kathy, who seemed very far away in thought at the moment, and frowned a little. "Hey, don't worry on that dream. It was probably only a dream." Pat's Kathy on the leg and gets up off the bed with the tray. "I'll see you later, ok? I have some things to do. If you or Alice need anything, you know where we are. At least I.." Seres stressed the word I. "don't have to keep you clean anymore." She winked at Kathy.

"Hey!"

Seres laughed. "When you are ready, come outside."

Kathy nodded as Seres left. She turned and looked at the doll for the longest time. "What happened to me? Why did I have that dream?" She put the doll down on the bed and slid down. Alice watched as she left the room.

"I will always be with you my young on." The doll leaned against the pillow and closed her eyes. "Always will be here to protect you."

Kathy's parents came to get her and thanked Integra. They yelled back at their daughter to tell her they were leaving.

Alucard looked at Kathy with a smirk then removed his glasses and placed them on her face. "See ya later little one."

As Alucard was leaving, Seres handed Alice to Kathy. "We will see you soon. Take care of yourself and Alice." Seres gave her a hug and stood up as Kathy turned to run after her parents.

Ten years had passed since her visit with Hellsing and the dream. She sat in her bedroom, at a desk doing schoolwork when the phone started to ring. Kathy answered it and after about five minutes of listening to the other person on the phone, it dropped to the ground.

A few hours passed. She had finally stopped crying when she sat up in bed, wiped her face dry from the falling tears and began to get dressed. She put on an off shoulder shirt and blue jeans. She grabbed Alice off the bed and a black trench coat off the back of the chair. Walking downstairs, Alice started flipping off all the lights when she stopped at the foot of the stairs and noticed Kathy concealing a gun in her coat.

"Alice, we won't be coming back."

"I understand. I will follow....always."

It was starting to rain as the doll hid in the coat. The moon's light shined within each droplet. They both walked through the neighbor hood and kept walking, not knowing where they were going. Finally, she came to a stop and looked up to she the hellsing mansion in front of her and also Jeremy and Karen."

"Kathy?"

"Huh?"

"What are you doing out here and in this weather?" Sara stood at the gates alongside Jeremy.

"I got a call.....my parents were in a wreck. I needed to take a walk. I guess I wasn't watching where I was going."

"Kathy, I'm so sorry but....you should leave. It's dangerous here." Jeremy started to walk towards her.

"You are wrong." The gun she had concealed now pointed at Jeremy. "This is my only home now. It's you two that shouldn't be here."

"Kathy?" Jeremy's eyes showed confusion and shock.

"I know about you two. I know about the great grandchild you would of had one day. I can't allow that. I can't allow him to hurt me." Kathy shot both legs on Jeremy and Karen.

A shadow came up behind Kathy as Alice came out of the coat and floated near her. Kathy removed her coat off her shoulders but not off her arms. She stared at Jeremy and Karen as she tilted her head to the side, removing her hair off her neck and shoulder. "The name is Siren. There is no more Kathy." The teenage girl now called Siren put on her glasses as her neck was pierced by a pair of fangs.

Both Karen and Jeremy looked on in horror as Siren allowed this vampire to defile her body. The vampire licked his lips after he was done. He also licked the last drops of blood from her neck. "Are you ready little one?"

"I just need to finish something and I'll be ready." Siren started walking towards her two friends. Screams surfaced in the night as she knelt down beside them.

Alucard laughed maniacally as Alice just sat on his shoulders and watched the night's events.

(Should this be the end? I'll let the readers say yay or nay. If confused on Jeremy and Karen, they are Jeremy's great grandparents. The guy who cheated on Siren with Sara. If you followed the story closely, shouldn't be any confusion, I hope. Anyway, this was my first fic. Hope you guys enjoyed it, the ones who have been keeping up with it. laterz)
