Chapter one: Seras's going solo Pontefract: A small town in North YorkshireThursday 19th October
Police chief Richard Tarrick leaned over the map of the remote town, it had prospered back in the nineteenth centaury but it had fallen into a slump in recent years. Despite this crime rate hadn't risen and it was still fairly peaceful place to live, albeit with poorer inhabitants. Which was why the recent spate of abductions and brutal murders were so shocking and baffling to both the towns and the district police. A few hours before they'd gotten a rushed call from one of the police officers stationed in the town. Tarrick reached for the cassette player and played it back one more time.
"Officer Jahred requesting additional officer. We need reinforcements ASAP!"
"Calm down, what's happened. Is it another murder?"
"More like half the bloody town turning on the other half. We've holed ourselves up in the police station. The ones who haven't been torn to pieces are just shuffling around aimlessly. It's like a zombie movie."
"Are there any survivors?"
"Not that I can see but there's a light on in the old church. Maybe someone's still…What the hell?"
"What's happened?"
"Hey look George it's that new school teacher, how come she's just standing there. Those thins will tear her to shreds. Wait what're they doing."
"Officer Jahred you need to…"
"Look those things are gathering around her, she's looking right at us she…"
"Officer Jahred, listen to me, you need to…
"OH GOD, NOO. OH GOD DON'T' I…" there wasn't any further sounds apart from a crunching sound and then a slurping sound as though someone were drinking rather messily near the receiver.
"What in gods name is happening in the village?" he said to himself, unaware that he wasn't alone in the tent.
"Ahem" he turned around quickly to see a richly dressed woman flanked by two bodyguards, men in black suits, all had guns holstered at their sides.
"Who in the devils name are you?" he asked them, angry at being interrupted.
"I am Sir Integra, head of the order of Royal Protestant Knights" the woman said curtly.
"Never heard of you," the police sergeant replied.
"We usually go by our other name. The Hellsing agency. You can stand down now sergeant. The command of this operation is now in our more than capable hands."
"So, how exactly do your people plan on entering that village and coming back out in one piece? All but two of the officers I sent in didn't come back and the ones who did were badly injured. They almost bled to death." The sounds of gunfire echoed in the night from the medical tent.
"What the hell was that?" the sergeant called out. Integra didn't even seem to notice.
"Just my people taking care of your injured ones"
"What do you mean, taking care of them?"
"My dear sergeant, when someone says they've taken care of someone what does it usually mean?" the police sergeant strode over to Integra, angry at her arrogance.
"Now look here Sir Integra. I don't mind you coming here and taking over, I know for a fact you're far higher up than me but I won't allow you to go around murdering my men just because you feel like it."
"Believe me, we did them a favour" she said, not seeming the least bit concerned. This was the final straw and he lost his temper, made his hand into fist and drew it back. He was about to hit her when someone behind him grabbed his wrist, trapping him in an iron grip.
"I'm sorry but I cannot allow you to harm my master" a voice said from behind the sergeant.
"Alucard, what kept you?" Integra said. The iron grip was released and Sergeant Tarrick turned around to see a man dressed in red, his eyes hidden by glasses and a wide brimmed hat.
"You wish to know why we have killed your men. Police girl bring in the other ghoul" the tent flap opened and a young blond woman, looking to be in her early twenties came in with one of his injured men in a headlock. The mans eyes were misted over and he kept snapping and snarling like an animal. There was dried blood around a wound on his neck and his teeth were bared like a dogs.
"What in gods name have you done to him?" Sergeant Tarrick said, horrified at the sight in front of him.
"We have done nothing. That wretched creature in front of you is a ghoul, the result when vampires feed on non-virgins" Integra said solemnly. No matter how many ghouls she saw it never seemed to get any easier.
"Vampires? You've got to be kidding"
"We are deadly serious, there is a vampire in that village and this abomination front of you is the left over from one of its meals."
"This…this is why you were called in isn't it?"
"Yes. Hellsing's expertise is unrivalled when dealing with this kind of situation"
"My men and I are at you disposal Sir Integra, just make sure no-one else here suffers this fate" he said gesturing towards the ghoul. Allucard drew his Callas and shot the ghoul clean through the head.
"You and your men would be of no use, you would all be slaughtered the moment you went in. We will be sending our top operatives." Integra said as her two bodyguards picked up the body and carried it out of the tent.
"Who?" Allucard and Seras stepped forward
"You're looking at us. Don't worry me and my master can handle anything inside that village" Seras said, confident of success.
"Then it seems like I'm not needed here anymore, I pray you will make that monster pay for what its done to my men" the sergeant said as he left the tent, on his way to notify the families of his murdered officers.
"Come one master, we need to get going" Allucard and Integra looked at each other.
"What's going on"
"I think it is time to see how you work on your own Seras" Integra said.
"What are you saying Sir?" Seras asked her.
"You've worked in Allucards shadow far too long. You deserve a chance to work on your own, to see how well you will do without Allucard on hand to bail you out"
"Really?"
"Indeed. Now go, your weapon has been modified and is waiting for you outside. Good luck Seras." The young servant vampire saluted and quickly left, excited about her first mission, leaving the head of Hellsing and her best operative alone in the tent.
"I am still unsure weather this was a wise idea Allucard" Integra said, apprehensive about her decision.
"Don't worry, the little police girl will be able to handle herself fine. Besides" he grinned manically.
"Now she's finally started drinking blood she's far stronger than before".
Just past the perimeter Hellsing had established Seras unslung her 13.7mm Baerlks and looked down the road leading into the town. There was a group of ghouls waiting to greet her, the vampire had sent out a welcoming party. She loaded a clip into her rifle and began waking slowly forwards, intent on making her first solo mission a success.
