Chapter X: Forever Knight
.
Sir Integra Hellsing looked at setting sun from her office as she digested the words of the vampire. Perhaps there was some truth in his words however unlikely it was. But now she had other things in her mind.
Alucard was smiling not because he found Helios amusing but because of something else.
It was like the time Incognito came and created havoc.
There was something evil lurking in the darkness and when Alucard was smiling, it meant that it was pure evil. An evil stronger than HE was.
An evil the world has never seen.
"Twilight has been a symbol of those you despise deeply yet you marvel it like it is God's gift to man," a deep voice said and Hellsing immediately whipped around and pointed her gun into the shadows of her office. "Ironically, it is."
"Who are you?" she asked gruffly. She mentally chided herself for being so careless. Even she could tell when Alucard phased into the room. But her visitor was as quiet as the calm night.
But there was no reply. Strangely, Integra didn't feel threatened. But she still kept her gun leveled, although she couldn't see her target.
"Get the hell out of my office," Integra said as she cocked her gun, but she realized that something was wrong. Glaring at the shadows, Sir Integra Hellsing lowered her weapon and placed it on her desk. Standing straight, Integra held put her palm and waited.
A moment later, a gleaming object came flying towards her and she caught it with ease. Looking at the object, she smirked and looked at it. It was the bullet clip from her gun. She then tossed it on her table beside her pistol.
She sat down behind her desk and rested her elbows on it. She had her fingers interlaced and her eyes still on the shadows.
"Who are you?" she asked in a less harsh voice.
"I have left my name when I left my life all those years ago," he said. There was something familiar about his voice that Integra cannot place. "But I assure you, I am a friend of Van Hellsing."
"I do not know you and I have no friends," she said calmly.
"I don't recall your name being Van Hellsing," the voice said tonelessly. "And I didn't say that I was your friend." There was a certain chill that emanates from his voice that Integra did not like.
For it was beginning to scare her.
The last time she was truly afraid was when she had found Alucard in the dungeons. And she swore she would not be afraid ever again.
"And what business do you have with me?" she asked. She could easily had reloaded her gun and fired but she didn't know who she was up against. If she attacked, he would kill her. But he gave her back her bullets showing her that he trusted her. Or that he was too cocky that he believed that he could take her.
And she believed that he could.
"He would be displeased that his great granddaughter was the woman I see now," he said with out any remorse. It was like he was stating a fact. He was beginning to irritate her. She wished that Alucard were here to take care of him. Before her train of thought could go on further, he spoke.
"The night has come and darkness reaches out for its victims," he said in a deadly tone. "The hunt is on." And then, silence.
Sir Integra Hellsing fumed as she turned on the lights from the switch on her desk and illuminated the whole room. But the room was empty, as she knew it would be.
Growling, she reloaded her gun and holstered it in her jacket.
She somehow knew that he would return.

"HELP!" a young woman screamed as she was being pursued by two men. And these two men had only one thing in their minds.
And that is to feed.
The woman turned into a blind alley and instantly regretted it.
A lone figure was standing in the middle of the alley with eyes that were hidden by the shadows of the dark.
Fear had overcome her as she dropped onto her knees. She then cried in vain as she looked at the night sky.
"Help me," she whispered. "Please." The stranger suddenly walked towards her and she knew that this was her end. She closed her eyes to await her doom. But opened them when a comforting hand touched her shoulder. Looking up, he saw the same stranger looking kindly at her and smiled. He then proceeded to stand behind her and patiently waited for her attackers.
They didn't have to wait long.
The two men barred their fangs as they saw the woman and the stranger.
"Two for the price of one," one of them said. But the stranger smiled, making the men flinch.
"The thrill of the hunt ends when the hunters became the hunted," the stranger said.
"You speak nonsense," the other man said. "Vampires are the top of the food chain. And obviously we are it."
"Obviously you are mistaken," he said as leaned and whispered on the woman's ear.
"You'd better close your eyes," he said politely. "This is going to be... unpleasant." Nodding, the woman closed her eyes. "Better close your ears as well." She did as she was told. Looking at the vampires, the stranger's violet eyes glared and his pupils had slit. The vampires froze when they saw his eyes.
"It's not possible," one of the vampires shook. "You're a myth."
"Myths have truths," the stranger smile and suddenly vanished. One of the vampires suddenly heard his companion gave a gargled scream. The stranger had his fangs on the vampire's neck as he sucked the blood out of him. Then, the stranger stabbed the vampire with his bare hand through the heart and the vampire turned into dust.
The other vampire didn't have a chance to move.
Drained, he gasped his last breath and turned into dust. Sighing, the stranger wiped the blood from his lips and turned, only to find the woman looking at him in astonishment. Smiling, the stranger took out a pack of gum and ate the whole pack.
"What are you?" she asked. The stranger only smiled and offered his arm.
"Shall I escort you home?" he said. The woman smiled and shyly took his arm.
"Thank you. But I'm looking for my sister," she said. Looking at the woman, the stranger smiled as he watched her.
Long blond hair and shapely body, she reminded him of someone special in his heart.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"Andrea," she smiled. "Andrea Victoria. I'm looking for my sister Celes."
