Alucard leads Artemis out of her house; they walk over the dew covered grass "Did you not say I wasn't from your world?" Alucard leads Artemis over to an odd looking tear in the middle of the air that opens up when they walk closer to it "Y-yes I guess I did, so you did use this to get to get to my world?" Alucard stops and looks at her "Hold on to my coat sleeve, we're about to pass through the space and time stitching of your world" Artemis does as she is told and takes hold of the back of Alucard's coat as she walks behind him "I left all of my weapons back at my house…I'll need some more if Sir Integra wants me to help." Alucard smirks slightly but Artemis doesn't see it "you will get new one's Walter already should have gotten those for you" Artemis looks little shocked "Really? Cool, I know Walter gets the best kinds of weapons." Alucard smiles "yes he does just a few more feet and we will be back home" they come out of the void and they appear in front of the Hellsing mansion and Artemis's eyes widen "I never knew how big this place was" she follows Alucard inside as he leads her to the second floor and into Sir Integra's office and when Integra spots her she smiles "ahh, so this child is the one called the shadow assassin?" Artemis smiles shyly and looks at the floor "yes…I am the one called the shadow assassin…my name is Artemis Brooks but I like to just be called Artemis" Sir Integra nods understandingly "alright then, did Alucard fill you in on everything?" Artemis nods "yes he told me some stuff, um since I forgot my weapons-" Integra cuts her off "Walter bring them in here" Walter brings in a cart with different knives and other weapons and Artemis walks over to it with slightly wide eyes and Walter smiles "pick as many as you like Miss Brooks" Artemis grabs a knife with a crystal blade "wow, I didn't know there was anything even like this" she grabs a few more different knifes and spots an imperial gold knife "isn't this from like the Greek/roman age?" Walter smiles and nods "how much do you know about that era?" Artemis is quiet "not much, I've missed a lot of school" Integra narrows her eyes "so you're not up grade level for your studies?" Artemis looks away with her hair covering her face as she whispers, "no…I'm not" her voice gets soft "well then we will have to fix that, along with your daily training you will also be tutored by me or Walter" Artemis looks up at her as she looks at the weapon cart then to Walter who seemed to know what she was thinking "I'll take this to your room miss" Walter smiled at Artemis as he wheeled the cart out of the office. Artemis nods at Integra "alright we have a deal, an hour of tutoring every night after he leaves" she points at Alucard and he grumbles at her and she steps away from him and Sir Integra nods "alright then" she stands and walks over to Artemis and holds out her hand and Artemis shakes it "welcome to the Hellsing organization Artemis Brooks" Artemis smiles up at her then steps away as Walter walks back into the room "miss Brooks your room is ready shall I take you to it?" Artemis nods "yes, thank you Walter" she turns back to Sir Integra and Alucard "good night to you both" Alucard chuckles "its just a little past 9 pm now miss Brooks" Artemis turns on him "whatever, I really don't care" she walks away and follows Walter out of the room and down the hall and to the room he has made ready for her "Sir Integra will want to see you tomorrow night. You will be sent out on a job along with the other officers." Artemis nods "Yes sir"
The following night Artemis walks out of her room and down the hall to the door and as she walks outside she spots the rest of the other officers. She's supposed to work with "All the other officers I'm supposed to work with are all men. Great" she sighs and walks over to them with the crystal bladed knife she has in a holster on her leg and the captain sees her and walks over to meet her "Are you the new recruit? A woman?" she pulls her knife faster than he can see and its held to his throat and Artemis whispers in his ear "I'm no mere female sir, I'm called the shadow assassin for a reason, my name is Artemis Brooks I expect to be respected here by all of your men" he nods slowly and she pulls the knife away from his throat and all of the other men watch with interest as the captain straightens up and faces his men "men this is Artemis Brooks, she will be joining us tonight." The other men nod not one of them saying a word as they get into the truck and head to the sight. When they get there Alucard is already there to meet them and he tilts his head motioning for Artemis to come over to him. She walks over to him. Alucard in his gruff voice gives Artemis orders "you go in first and clear the first 2 floors, I will take out the target vampire" Artemis looks around and spots the Vatican's dog, Anderson, "hey Alucard, what is he doing here?" she points over at Anderson. He's watching them both with narrowed eyes. Alucard growls a little and Artemis walks over towards Anderson and she glares at him "what are you doing here Anderson?" he looks at her "and ye are?" Artemis reaches slowly for her knife but Anderson spots her movement and he holds up his finger "don't do it girly, ye won't win a fight with me. So answer my question who are ye?" Artemis slides her hand into her coat pocket "my name is Artemis Brooks just joined the Hellsing force, I want no problems with the Vatican." Anderson smiles "ye are a smart one aren't ye?" Alucard walks over and puts his hand on Artemis's shoulder "time to get to work" Artemis push's his hand off her shoulder "Alucard don't touch me, I'm just talking to him I think I can handle myself" she nods respectfully to Anderson. "Let's go Alucard, goodbye father Anderson" she walks away and Anderson watch's her leave and Alucard looks at Anderson "ye got a strong girl there, maybe there's a chance I could fight her, might be fun" Artemis whistles and Alucard looks away then turns and walks towards were Artemis is, and she looks at him "I'm going inside, would you meet me on the top floor? There's a crap ton of ghouls in there and one really annoying vampire up there to kill" Alucard looks at her for a second then nods "I have a feeling Anderson is going to be inside somewhere as well, keep your ears and eyes open, now go" Artemis nods and turns and runs towards the building and walks inside. After Artemis clears the first floor she walks up the stairs slowly holding her crystal bladed knife at the ready in case a ghoul attacks her "damn I thought there would be more ghouls then this is? And where the hell is that Anderson...he just might be right, I know I'm not strong enough to even withstand one of his attacks." she mutters to herself as she steps up the last step and long sword like thing flies past her head getting stuck in the wall next to her "aye, seems like I found the little Hellsing girly...what do you say how about we play a game?" Artemis stops dead in her tracks and looks towards the end of the hallway "Alexander Anderson, if it is you then shows yourself! Come out and fight me!" Anderson walks out of the shadows holding up his blessed swords so there in the shape of a cross "Are ye scared girly?" Artemis scoffs at him "Scared of a man like you? No I'm not, I know all about you...Alexander Anderson, and I know you're a regenerator...but your blessed swords might hurt me but wont kill me." she smirks at him and the blades in the heels of her boots pop out "You wanted to play a game? Well fine then, let's play the game, let's see if you can hit me at least once?" Anderson chuckles "Do ye have a death wish girly?" Artemis runs at Anderson and slashes at him but misses because he sidestepped out of range of her attack "ye are fast aren't ye?" Anderson slashes his sword and it cuts Artemis on the cheek and she stumbles backwards and falls on to her butt "ALUCARD!" Artemis screams placard's name and he appears in front of her and he chuckles "so you did need help?" Artemis glares at him " I told Sir integral that I was only in training still in my world, being called the shadow assassin was just a name I picked up so people wouldn't screw with me, yes I can fight, no I can't fight a damn regenerator…could you handle him? I'll go ahead and clear the next floors and I'll take care of the target vampire as well" Alucard nods "fine then, I do have a few things to settle with him anyways" Artemis stands as she walks over and picks up her knife from the floor "hey Anderson let me run past and you and Alucard can go all out in a fight if you want ok?" Anderson smiles and nods then steps to the side "aye if ye want, fair warning there are a lot of ghouls up there, don't think just a few small knives will stop them" Alucard glances back at her "hey girl, take this" he tosses back one of his guns and Artemis catch's it "your giving me one of your guns?" Alucard smiles "now go before I change my mind and I better get it back got it? Artemis nods and runs past him then past Anderson who smirks but lets her past and she runs up there stairs and when she gets up there are a lot of ghouls and Artemis face palms "great, wonder how many bullets Alucard gave me?" she sighs and aims and starts firing the gun at the ghouls and every time she shoots one, two more appear in the spot of the last one "why. Wont. You. Die." She keeps firing at them but they just keep coming and Alucard's voice whispers into her ear "kill the target vampire girl then all of the ghouls will be easier to kill, think of them as the vampire's minions." Artemis rolls her eyes "got it, find the leader of these things then they will fall like flies in a gas storm" she laughs softly to herself then put the gun away then pulls out the imperial gold bladed knife along with her crystal bladed knife and she just hacks down the ghouls fast as she clears that floor then she runs up the stairs to the next floor which is some way oddly free of ghouls but there is a single door and Artemis walks over to it then she kicks it in holding the gun aimed at the vampire standing looking out the window "so you are the girl that the Hellsing Organization hired eh? But are you up to killing me?" Artemis growls softly then smirks and whispers "shut up and stop talking" she pulls the trigger but the bullet doesn't hit the target vampire instead it hits the window and breaks the glass and some yelling is heard outside but the target vampire is only inches from Artemis and she keeps firing " !" Artemis screams as she keeps firing but the vampire gets faster as he dodges the bullets and then he grabs Artemis by the throat and pins her to the wall and smiles "ah, you're a human girl" he leans close to her neck and Artemis starts to squirm in his grip "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!" Artemis slides out the solid silver knife form her coat sleeve as she stabs the vampire in the stomach and the vampires eyes widen as he turns to ash and Artemis falls to the floor holding her neck trying to calm herself down and Alucard walks into the room and looks over at Artemis "seems you finished the job" Artemis glares up at him and she stand up and walks over to him and hands the gun to him then walks away without a word. Artemis walks out of the building and over to Sir Integra "The target vampire has been silenced" Sir Integra nods and she wipes some blood off of Artemis's neck "Are you hurt?" Artemis touch's her neck then looks at her fingers "I didn't know I got hurt…I'll go to the medics right now" Alucard appears next to her and Integra "you've been bitten" Artemis looks at him "your nuts, I killed the damn vampire be for he even got close to my neck, it's probably Andersons blood" Alucard touch's the blood on her neck and tastes it and Artemis glares and uses her coat sleeve to wipe the blood off "I'm going for a walk" Artemis walks away down the road.
