Friends Reunite

I don't own Hellsing, so don't sue me. Astra is mine though. Reviews happy author, flames s'mores!!!

Hopefully will finish Astra's mission and will see a happy ending. Can't guarantee it though. Evil smirk.

"Wake up Astra!" A rough hand shook her.

"Huh, what?" Astra rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

In front of her was Sir Arthur Hellsing. He looked quite upset and she knew that she was in for a beating.

"What did I do this time?" She asked before he could speak.

"You were supposed to be down at training a half hour ago."

"No I wasn't." Then she looked at the clock. "Shit."

"You're new recruit is waiting for you." He told her as she hurriedly got dressed. "Name is Walter Dorne. Kid from London."

"When you say kid do you mean twenties?"

"He's fourteen."

Astra froze and then slowly turned to face Sir Hellsing.

"You mean to tell me that you're now bringing kids into this war."

"I'm not a kid." A voice from the doorway said.

She turned to see a teenage boy standing in the doorway. He had piercing blue eyes and black hair. His clothes were ragged, suggesting street life. The boy looked as if he'd had a tough life and an attitude to match. Mentally, her eyebrows rose.

"Why are you in my room?" She asked him.

"No one was coming down so I thought I'd find my new teacher myself. I was hoping for a powerful vampire hunter," he began to walk toward her and circle her. "But I guess all I got was a lousy she demon."

"Stand at attention." Astra ordered him sharply.

Walter stood still but not at attention.

"I told you to stand at attention kid." Her voice was icy.

He slowly stood at attention, though the look on his face showed he didn't like it.

"I am your superior officer." She growled, slowly moving forward, allowing her eyes to become a little redder. "And you will listen to me. I have been a part of Hellsing since before you were born. Now get your ass down to the training area and wait for me there."

Walter glared at her and made his way out of the room.

"Well," Sir Hellsing said as Astra laced up her boots. "Now you know why I wanted you to train him. You will get along nicely."

Astra glared at him and then headed down to the training center, unaware of what Walter would put her through.

"When exactly did she disappear?" Sir Hellsing asked the vampire that stood in front of her.

"Ten minutes ago." Alucard replied, not really paying any attention.

"Did you sense anything?"

"Hmm?"

''Are you even listening to me Alucard?" She demanded.

"I do believe," Walter said as he appeared from the shadows. "That he is worried about Astra, I know I am."

"Astra can take care of herself. She's a vampire, related to Alucard."

"Also half human." Walter reminded her. "She is just as venerable as we are if you know where."

"What do you mean?"

"Astra," Alucard began. "Is the daughter of a prostitute, raised in a monastery, so holy objects have no effect on her. But if she goes anywhere near a-"

"A what?" Sir Integra was impatient.

"There was," Walter finished what Alucard started. "A large group during the war that created creatures, vampires and werewolves. When Astra, Alucard, and myself were sent to destroy them, they used a certain gas on us. It only affected Astra, and seemed to remind her of a memory, a past experience, that she would relive. While that happened, the particles of the gas were destroying her body. She almost died. Now, it is possible that the recipe for the gas survived."

"That is her only weakness?"

"Yes."

"Then there can't be anything to worry about. There is such a low chance that whoever captured her-"

"No," Alucard interrupted her. "I sensed him after she was gone. He was thinking about sending all of the demons back to hell, that he was sorry that she had been taken from her life and that he was going to send her to heaven." Tears threatened to fall from the ancient vampire's eyes as he hid himself in the shadows, away from the gaze of the others.

Astra, please my daughter, fight it. Please return to me safe.

"Stand straight!" Astra barked at Walter.

The young man frowned as he fought off different objects that had been thrown at him. He'd been training under her for a week and already he was giving her a headache. He whined, complained and bad mouthed her. She had to contain herself from killing him. Sighing, she watched as he made his way through the next part of the obstacle course.

Walter weaved and dodged at the perfect moments, gracefully. As much as she hated to admit it, he was good, and had great potential, only of course, if he could get his ego out of the way.

"Good," she said as he stood on the other side of the obstacle course, panting. "Now do it again."

"What?" He glared at her.

"Out in the real world you need to be ready to do that course ten times. I'm being nice kid."

"Bitch," She heard him mumble under his breath.

Astra ignored him. She knew his tricks now. He just wanted to see her angry, but she wouldn't let him have that satisfaction. If she did, than it meant that he had won. It was a battle of wills between the two and so far, she was winning. Sighing, she watched him do the course again, just as perfectly as the first time.

There was a knock on the door of Sir Integra's office door. A servant came in and handed her a letter. Alucard and Walter watched anxiously as she opened it and read it. She took a deep breath before looking up at them. Their eyes searched her face, but found no answers. Finally she spoke.

"Someone named Farley. He says that it is his mission to rid the Earth of all demons. Astra is his first victim, or as he puts it, cleansing. From the tone of this letter, he has already killed her or is planning to. We must act now."

''I agree." Walter said.

"Let's go." Alucard walked toward the door and hopefully closer to saving his daughter.

"Almost done my pretty." Farley said to the sleeping Astra.

She had been under the drug for close to twenty hours and it was starting to work. Her breathing was beginning to get labored and her skin was becoming paler. He was extremely glad that his grandfather had given him the recipe to kill vampires, or at least her.

According to him, she was one of the strongest vampires in existence. It was rumored that she defeated the Nazi's strongest monster. Farley didn't know if it were true or not, but was almost jumping in joy for how she was reacting to the drug. She was dying and he knew that when the Nazis finally regained power, he would get a metal.

Sleep sweet demon. You're time on Earth will end soon. I am sorry this creature did this to you. You are such a pretty girl. I would love to make you mine, but it could never happen for I am your prey. All I can do for you pretty one is to send you back to the Prince of Demons, your maker. Farwell my sweet girl.

Author's Note: I love cliffies!!! Next part will be out soon. I hope.
