AN: Dracula's Daughter is the name of a vampire bar in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicle's I used it because I couldn't figure out away to bring Marius into the Hellsing universe, There are other Vampire bars in the books but come on I couldn't resist
His Master was beyond furious, a thing that Alucard found quiet amusing. The Demonic Angel had attacked and completely destroyed a vampire bar, Dracula's Daughter. This happened just scant hours after the Demonic Angel let her men destroy their first target of the evening unhindered. In fact, when the agents had been debriefed they said it seemed to them as though the creature was watching and waiting, almost like it was ready to offer back up if they needed it. To add to his Master's ire, two of her deep cover operatives had been blinded by the very same creature, based on the description.
He couldn't blame the creature for wanting to hunt tonight. It was a beautiful night, the kind that made him actually feel his little fledgling's absence.
He rarely felt her absence at all, just the rage that someone or something had dared to carry out a design against one under his protection. That they succeeded, heightened the rage and the insult to him. Beyond that, he was also furious with the Police-Girl for letting herself get to trouble. If she had been as a real Vampire who accepted the night, this would never have happened.
He shook his head at his angry thoughts, in spite of her weakness and being a never ending source of frustration to him, the little Fledgling had been more faithful to him then all his other children combined.
His thoughts shifted back to the new challenge, 'This Demonic Angel seems like a pleasing opponent' Seven FREAKS destroyed and not one human fatality, his master had been impressed. On some levels so was he, after all to kill with such precision, simply demanded respect. Especially since there were always Human's in those pathetic Vampire bars, either foolish humans fancying themselves to be creatures of the night or simply livestock. The primary attack of this creature, seemed to lethally effect vampires only. After the attack, described as an intense golden light, the humans had been stuck blind and the vampires were dust.
Initially, Alucard believed that the bar the creature had chosen, Dracula's Daughter, might have been a message from the person, who had taken his Police-girl. This however seemed not to be the case, the creature seemed to be out to get as many undead kills possible in a short amount of time. 'Why so desperate?' Alucard questioned himself.
Freezing in his ruminations and searching in the remains of the bar, Alucard felt a very powerful mind brush his. The brush was the telepathic equivalent of a knock. He concentrated on pinpointing the source of the gesture, but found it a harder task then he had anticipated.
"Their eyes will heal in time" One of the soldiers standing nearby Alucard said tonelessly. He watched the soldier closely for a moment realizing, the man didn't even realize he'd spoken. Alucard probed his mind but found nothing out of the ordinary. 'Ah ha…I know what you're up to now.' Alucard thought as he realized why he could not locate the creature. 'No, not creature but her.' In the brief mental touch, he had a definite sense that the creature was indeed female and she was now hopping from mind to mind to evade detection.
"Why do you hide Demonic Angel?" Alucard asked speaking both aloud and telepathically. Sir Integra heard his words walked over trying to make out more of what the Vampire was hearing that she was not
"For reasons of my own Old One," The soldier that had followed behind Sir Integra replied.
Alucard exchanged a look with his master. She nodded encouraging him to keep up the contact, even as she signaled several soldiers to leave partly as a gesture of good will, but also to reduce the numbers of soldiers available so the creature might show itself. They both thought, this hunter whoever or whatever she was might be was a valuable ally. But only if it bowed to Sir Hellsing's will.
"You have nothing to fear from us." Alucard said holding his arms open in a display.
"I do not fear you or yours, old and powerful though you may be. It is my lord's wraith that keeps me aloft." A passing police officer stopped to say, then continued on as though nothing had happened.
'Aloft' Alucard thought and looked up. Just in time to see a white blur move out of his sight. It had been as though the Angel had known just at what range the vampire would need a moment to focus his eyes, and stayed just past it.
"Too slow Old One, far too slow" the original Soldier teased, with barely restrained laughter.
"Your master keeps you hidden?" Alucard asked.
"He is my lord not my master!" Sir Integra turned toward him a snapped with pure venom in her tone and face. Alucard could tell the exact second the presence left Integra's mind, her eyes fluttered on release. Integra then raised her hand to her head as though it hurt. She seemed more affected by the contact then the others had been.
"Not Her" Alucard's tone dropped deep and low, and set gooseflesh across the arms of all who herd it. It was as though the very wind of hell had blown up out of the earth to swell his words
"My apologies to both, I lost my temper." A soldier, one of the one's Integra had instructed to leave, said as he stepped towards them. "I hope that I have caused you no pain milady" the solider gave a small bow.
Without waiting for a reply from them the same soldier continued pointing up through the broken skylight, "Look." Alucard and Integra both looked up but instead of getting a glimpse of the potential ally again, they saw three shooting stars blazing across the sky. "Someone once told me that a shooting star was only glorious in its moment of destruction. When we met face to face Old One, we will be glorious. Wont we?" The soldiers voice had an almost child-like gleeful quality in his tone from the question she asked.
"Yes, truly glorious" Alucard replied with a cold grin, recognizing that for the challenge it was and realizing, this hunter would be no ally.
