Angel waited in the training ground, the sun was shinning into the large bush maze behind her. She remembered how she was supposed to do this job in the first place, she was trained to train the Hellsing men and if need be go with them on their missions if they became troubled by their job. Seras watched from behind a sun-proof window, it was put there for Alucard to use when he wanted to watch the grounds during the day. The Hellsing men marched to the seats in front of Angel, they all sat down and waited for her to make her move. She was watching each of them one at a time, they shifted a little as she moved her eyes over them. Then one lost his patience and said out loud

"Well what the hell are we doing today?"

"Speak when you are spoken to, I shall not have men with impatience... sometimes waiting is part of a mission" Angel spoke with brutality at first and the men stopped talking and Seras said hearing every word

"Wow, a new side"

"I am Angelina Sancho, your trainer and until you either retire or are slain by ghouls or vampires your best chance of survival" Angel said out and a man said silently to his friend by him

"I'm starting to miss the vampire"

"In this maze are three innocent civilians and ten ghouls... as you know vampire's are above your talents. So this is what's going to happen, your all going in here to save the civilians before they are harmed. Two are injured, so I'm expecting professional treatment and if you screw it up... well lets hope that does not happen and don't be too worried these are only dollies"

Angel moved to the side, Walter was stood there next to a rail with guns on them and the men all collected their guns. They ran in and went in all directions, Angel walked up to Integra who was watching and Integra said back as Angel looked down

"When I said don't do anything I wouldn't I didn't mean impersonate my voice"

"I thought it was good" Angel said back and Integra said as three of her men found the first doll

"My men saw off Seras because they felt uncomfortable with her"

"Well it's tough with me then" Angel said back and Integra smiled and replied

"There are traps in there, correct"

"Of course, but they don't do they?" Angel grinned back and with a shout and curse two men had fallen into a trap with rubber spikes and Integra said back

"I think they will enjoy your treatment more if you didn't act like me"

"Some of them of real potential, the rest I doubt will live to see their third year" Angel sighed and Walter said as he handed the pair tea

"Well ladies I shall leave you both to train the men, I have to remove a bug from the forest at the far side of the manor"

"A bug" Integra asked turning to face Walter and he replied with a smile

"There's no need to worry Sir Integra, it is a small device planted into a tree"

"Take care while your gone" Integra said back and he said back walking away

"Of course"

Integra didn't like the smell of this one, she waited for a moment and walked away as the last dolly was carried out. She had her radio on her, but she felt as if Walter was freely walking into a trap and as she walked along she spotted him walk into the distant woods. She was quick to follow, she was sure to keep Walter in her sights and the further they went the more it became dark. The trees were very thick in this part of the wood, she felt the cold instantly as a wind found its way around the trees. She finally spotted him on the opposite side of a stream that ran through this part, she didn't want to offend him so she stayed in the same spot. He removed a knife, the bug was easily taken from the tree but then it hit them both...why was it here? There was no way even the vampires would even come to this spot, but then the reason surfaced from the ground. Ghouls came up from the earth, Walter quickly removed his wires and sliced off it's head. More ripped up from the earth, even one came up no more than a foot away from Integra. It looked right at her, another came up and it's hand grabbed her ankle. She pulled away, but they kept pouring out and as it seemed that more were coming out than even Walter could manage shots were fired into the Ghouls. The Hellsing men came rushing out of the trees, Angel at the front with her shotgun ready and instead of firing it she threw it to Integra. Integra aimed it to the ghoul at her heel and blew his head clean off, she then turned and blasted another but the re-coil made the butt of the gun hit her hard in the shoulder. It had been a long time since she fired one of these, but the damage it had caused for her was not bad but for the ghouls it was. The ghouls were dispatched, the men roared in triumph at their victory and Angel said loudly

"Alright lads nice work, just for that I'll see if I can get you all a paint-balling session"

"Angel did you know about this?" Integra asked and Angel said back picking up a triangle from her belt

"I had no idea about this, but when I thought about it it was obviously a trap"

"I could have easily handled this situation" Walter said to Angel as the men walked off and Integra said over

"Walter, I just wanted to make sure it was safe here"

"I understand Sir Integra, but Angel why did you bring the whole group with you?" Walter asked back and Angel shrugged and said back

"I'd much sooner have them and not need them, than to not have them and need them"

That night Angel sat in her dinning room, she had made herself some dinner that consisted of a bacon sandwich and a milk shake. She was never one for really healthy food, she found this stuff gave her more energy than the green stuff. But she did eat it as a rule, but this night she wanted company more than anything. She had eaten the meal and walked out the room toward the living room, when she got there the fire was already burning. She smiled to see Alucard was in the seat he was in the night before, he had removed his hat and shades putting them on the stand. Angel walked to her seat, she sat down and said as she put her ring and bracelet on the table by her side

"Fancied a change in scenery tonight then"

"I do also have a room of my own here as well" Alucard stated and Angel nodded and replied

"You do, so why have you left the Hellsing manor?"

"Something new never hurts the mind, I also know who lonely it can get in big places on your own" Alucard said back as the orange of the fire lit up half his face and Angel replied

"Your right, being on the road for so long I do remember the nights where I wished to have someone there"

The pair could remember nights when they were alone and wanting the warmth of another, they looked at the fire for a moment and Angel carried on the conversation

"I must admit to see you in action the other day was rather interesting, I can easily see why the vampire out there fear you so"

"Your strength come from your lion soul, so much like Integra but you really went easy against her on the cliffs" Alucard replied and Angel smiled and said back

"I have gotten stronger since I last stayed in England (rises) but now I must have a bath, so you can either wait in here till I'm done or wash up yourself in the bathroom across the hall"

Angel walked out, she walked into her bedroom and through into the joining bathroom. She turned on the hot tap in the bath, steam started to rise from the bath and she added the cold water tap and bubble bath to the water. She un-dressed and entered the bath, her hair was up in a scruffy bun but she had no problem as she relaxed completely into the water. She relaxed in the water, but then as she felt a little bit tired the water suddenly became cold and harsh. She opened her eyes, the werewolf from the cliff's she had fought stood tall. Blood was pouring down her chest, slashes were up her leg and the full moon was the only source of light. She was so weak here, the wolf's blood was pouring from it's fur and the pair leaped at each other. A drop of the werewolves blood hit into a cut in her shoulder, she rolled forward and grabbed her sword that a local church had given her. The hilt held a lion and a werewolf fighting, a ruby was sealed into the sword and swirls were coming from it. She swung the silver sword around and removed the werewolf's head, the head bounced into the shade of a mountain of rocks. The body dropped forward, but Angel was not quick enough to move out of it way and its claws caught her coat and pulled her into the cold rapids at the bottom of the cliff.

She trashed in the bath, but a hand pulled her up from under the water and she realized it was the memory. Alucard was stood holding her up from the water, she snapped a towel around herself and another around her now soaked hair. She walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom, she took the pin from her hair and let her hair drop after she removed the towel. Alucard stood by the bed, Angel paced the room and she said turning to him finally calmed by the fact she was not alone in the manor

"Thank you Alucard, I don't know what happened there"

"A vision, I saw it because it was so strong. So the fight with the werewolf is what has made you so strong" Alucard replied looking at Angel and she replied walking up to him

"I said it as my vow, I would fight and win against a werewolf or be destroyed doing it"

Angel was very close to Alucard, his red eyes glowed slightly as he felt her passion for the hunt was burning through her veins. She saw his gaze as being something else, it was the old vampire she had heard of and not the experimented vampire. They broke the moment as Alucard pulled her forward into a small yet passion filled kiss, Angel didn't know how to react at first. She held her hands back, but then they found their way to his shoulders and then into his long black hair. The kiss deepened, his eyes glowed as she made him feel alive and he held the small of her back and broke the kiss. Angel was in a slight daze at the moment, Alucard brought his mouth to her neck and his fang came out slowly. He suddenly snapped his eye's open, he pulled away and Angel suddenly came back to the real world as quickly as he did. He walked around Angel to leave, he could not believe that he had almost bitten Angel... it was almost like bitting Integra herself. Angel said as Alucard got halfway across the room

"Wait"

"I must leave" Alucard said back not looking in her direction and Angel said back

"Stay, even if it is just for tonight... I will sleep better knowing the manor is protected by you"

She turned, Alucard also turned at the same time and they met eyes once again. He did not want to tempt fate, he wanted to stay but his mind was telling him to leave. Angel knew he almost committed her to him, but she was starting to feel for him like no other. He finally gave in and replied

"I'll sit in your seat"

"Thank you Alucard" Angel replied

She moved into the bathroom and dried herself, once she was in her nightgown she went back in and found him in the seat by her bed. Whether or not he was asleep she did not know, but she got into her bed and soon feel into a dream of far off countries and their beauty. As she did Alucard watched, he saw that the light of the moon was coming through the curtains. It slightly landed on her from a small parting, it made her look more like the lady her title made her to be. He finally slept himself, but his dreams were not of his past but of that moment with Angel.
