When Master Alucard came to get you, he was early. You sensed his presence and anticipated him when he said, "Police girl. Come."
You pushed aside the lid to your coffin and got out. You ran around for a bit, enjoying having your body back, and earned a few worried glances from Master Alucard.
"Did she say sun?" Master Alucard says to your left. You sit up.
"What?" you ask, looking around. You were three days back. "Huh?"
"We were talking, then you started babbling about how pretty the lake was then you passed out. That was about two minutes ago," a voice says over your head. You look up and see Sir Integra.
"Sir Integra! I…" you say, flustered.
"What were you doing all day?" Master Alucard says, in an angry tone. His tone got you angry for some reason and you glare at him.
"Chronic insomnia. Every night! Every night I wake up, and every night it's harder and harder to get back to sleep. Then I wake up from a dream that seemed to last three days, but it was only two minutes, in which I was possessed by some freak who had a crush on you! And now you get angry with me for having problems! Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not perfect!" And with that, you run away. You run and run, ignoring the shouts behind you, when Master Alucard appears in front of you, you push him away and keep going. When he stops you by grabbing your arm, you look away.
"What are you doing!" he asks, angrier than ever. When you don't answer, he shakes you, then shouts, "Answer me!"
You look into his eyes and say, "I hate you." With a wild look in your eyes, you break free your arm and run again. This time, though, Master Alucard runs along with you, easily keeping pace.
"What did you say?" he asks. You try to pull ahead, but to no avail. "What did you say to me?" he asks again.
"Leave me alone!" you shout, and a burst of flame flares around you, narrowly missing Master Alucard.
"What in the world…" he says softly as you leave him behind.
You run and run until you can no longer tell where you are. You slow down, and eventually stop. 'Oh, great,' you think, 'run from safety for who knows how long, then, when day comes, you get fried to a crisp. Brilliant.' You stop your mental self-beration only when you hear a rustling behind you.
"Who's there?" you ask. You dodge away when a woman comes at you with a stake.
"What are you doing!" you ask after you dodge again.
"Killing you. Why?"
"Can't we talk about this, first?"
"Why? Why would we need to talk after what you did?"
"What did I do!" you ask, narrowly avoiding yet another attempt on her life.
"Wasn't it you who turned that whole village into ghouls?" the woman asks.
"What! No! I don't even drink blood!" you yell at her.
She falters, and you take that opportunity to take the stake from her. "Hey!" she yells. She rushes at you, but you bring your huge gun up to face her.
"Okay, now we talk. Who are you?" you ask.
She looks away, then says, "Anilucard. Vampire slayer."
"Okay, now, question number two: why?"
She looks up. "Why what?" she asks you.
"Why do you slay vampires?"
"Because my masters told me to."
"Who are your masters?"
"The Caidoz family."
You start to ask another question, but then it dawns on you. Master Alucard, Dracula. Anilucard, Draculina. "You're… a vampire?" you ask softly.
"Yes. Master of my clan. My masters chose me because I was the best of my clan. They provide me with food, and in return, I provide them service."
"No loyalties in your clan, huh?"
Anilucard lashed out, "Of course there is!"
"Then why would you…"
"Forsake my clan? Because they forsook me. They banished me. No one knows the original reason, but if I ever go back, they will kill me. Anyway, enough about me. What about you?"
"Huh? Oh, well… you see, I was a normal human until about three months ago, until everything went wrong. I was sent to a village that was inhabited by a vampire. My master shot through my lung to hit the vampire and finish it off. Then, he turned me into a vampire. That's how I came to work for Hellsing." You continue to tell her your story, and only stop when you notice the time. "Oh, my gosh! It's almost morning!"
Anilucard starts, then pulls you along toward shelter.
"Where are we going?" you ask her.
"Back to Caidoz headquarters. You'll be safe there." You look at your newfound friend with nothing short of wonder in your eyes. Then you focus on running.
