Chapter 7: Skills

Samantha could feel his presence... She looked around the room, but couldn't see him... "Who are you?" His voice asked. He appeared right behind her. Samantha jumped and turned around... "My...name...is Samantha." She replied with a shaky voice. "I know your name...who are you?" He asked again, not taking his eyes off of her.

"I dont...what do you mean?" Samantha asked confused. "You are intriguing for a human...you are strong, and yet you act like you don't know your left foot from your right...Why?" Alucard told her plainly. "I don't..." Was all Samantha could offer him for a response. She felt the familiar helplessness that she was unaccustomed to, but felt every time he was in her presence.

"You obviously think that your rouse is helping you...Your mask makes you weak...Come with me..." Alucard stated, still not taking his eyes off of her. Samantha was speechless, she was not used to someone analyzing her...especially one who didn't know her. "Where are we...going?" She asked in a small voice. "You'll see..." He replied chuckling. Alucard moved and began to walk towards the door. He held it open for her, and walked down the hall.

Samantha wondered where they were going, but kept her mouth shut. This man was an enigma to her, and she couldn't make sense out of him. They reached the front door to the Hellsing house. He walked out and handed her a set of keys. "What...?" Was all she could say. "This is where you need to go...Integra gave me an assignment...I will meet you there." Alucard disappeared and she was left alone.

She saw a particularly fast looking car in front of her... "I wonder..." she said to herself and walked to the car. She found the door open, and climbed in... She inserted the key into the ignition and turned it. The car roared to life, and all she could do was laugh. "Oh my god...I can't believe this..." Samantha took a hold of the stick and put it in first gear. She gunned it and sped away from the mansion...

'An Hour ago'

"I hope you're right, Alucard..." Integra whispered to herself. Ealiershe had given him the location of some ghouls that did not require the troops, and told him to take care of it. He had asked her if he could bring Samantha. He had known that she would be able to handle it.

'Present'

Samantha could feel raw power and speed in the car, and couldn't help herself. She looked down at the sheet of paper and knew where the address was. It was an old abandoned warehouse. She sped all the way to her destination. When she pulled into the dirt parking lot she looked around and didn't see anyone.

She parked and walked around. "Where is he?" She asked herself. "Over here, Samantha." She followed Alucards voice and found him a second later. "What is this...?" Samantha asked him. "In this warehouse are ghouls... We are going to get rid of them..." Alucard told her, handing her the biggest handgun she had ever seen. On the side of the barrel there were the words Desert Eagle. "Arent there better people who could be handling this...?" She asked him honestly.

Her heart had dropped into her feet. He wanted her to do this with him...It didnt make sense. "We'll see what you can do..." Alucard chuckled coldly. "Shoot for the head or heart..." He added smiling a devilish smile.

'Head or heart...' Samantha repeated to herself. She wasn't about to let him down. He obviously saw something in her...potential maybe. She didn't want to die either, so having made up her mind...she cocked the gun. It was all Alucard needed to hear...She looked into his face...his glasses blocking her view of his eyes. He gave her a smile and opened the warehouse door...
