Hellsing: Fated Meeting Integral and Alucard

Chapter: 3

Integral jumped up and faced them resolutely. She would go down fighting.

"Don't hurt her," an icy voice snapped. Out of the light walked in Robert Hellsing.

"You've caused me much trouble, Integral," he growled.

"Uncle Robert! How dare you disobey Father this way? What of your morals?" she challenged.

Something snapped in Robert's eyes. Integral knew she had made a grave mistake. He grabbed a gun from his henchmen and fired.

Integral whimpered in terror, raising her arms to protect herself from Robert's wrath. She heard the shot and felt the searing fire of metal burying into her flesh. She screamed in pain. Her blood splattered everywhere. She fell to the ground, gasping with pain.

"I've waited forever for Hellsing! I'm not going to let it go to a mere child! You've caused me endless trouble. Don't think you are going to die easy!" howled Robert, foaming at his mouth like a rabid dog.

He raised the gun again. His eyes were bright with a glint of madness. Integral closed her eyes waiting for the sound that would herald her death.

A sudden rustling pierced the tense silence. Everyone jumped around in surprise. The sound came from the dried corpse. They all watched stunned, as the corpse slowly bent forward until its head was inches away from a puddle of Integral's blood on the floor. It slowly opened its wizened mouth and a long tongue protruded from the gaping hole, and dipped itself in a puddle Integral's blood on the floor.

The corpse slowly stood. Its long hair covered its entire face. Suddenly it broke free, shredding its bonds as if it were paper. Integral gasped in surprise as she caught a glimpse of the revealed face. It had been a dried corpse, its skin brown and dry and wrinkly. But now a complete change had had occurred. The corpse had become human. It had pale white skin a startling contrast to full, blood red lips. The hair was no longer dried straw but full of luster. Its pointed teeth showed barely hidden by its lips. Its handsome clean-cut features were filled with blood lust.

"Vampire? Hellsing has a vampire?" Integral thought, confused

Time returned to the room in a flurry of action. Cries of 'Shoot it" and 'Kill it' rang across the room. Everyone fired, desperately trying to his the creature. The creature moved like lightning. It was incredible. Not a single shot connected with it.

The creature gave an evil laugh as his assailants fired off a new round of shots. It disappeared before integral's eyes only to appear at the other side of the room. It held the two heads of his assailants in his hands. Blood gushed like a fountain from the two headless corpses that only moments ago had been alive. The creature chuckled cruelly. It lifted one of the heads and let the blood drip into its mouth. Integral could tell he was really enjoying it.

His remaining attackers could only watch in horror. Robert's voice broke though the gruesome spell.

"Shoot it! Kill it" Robert screamed.

His henchmen were shocked back into life. They tried desperately to hit the creature, but it was just a waste of time. It moved through them, effortlessly dodging their shots, taking off their heads as it went. It was raining blood in that small, cold room.

Finally only Robert was left.

"What are you?" he stammered, quaking in terror. He fired rapidly at the advancing figure.

The vampire merely raised his hand caught the bullets.
