Hello, my lovlies apologies for the delay in my update, I didn't have access to my work for a while and well life got in the way I suppose, I know you must be wondering when Harry makes an appearance and its not for another couple of chapters I'm trying to let Mina find her feet in a new and unfamiliar world but don't worry I will update three times this week to catch you all up. Remember to leave a review and tell me what you think of my portrayal of the characters and how they interact. Also I am a collosal idiot as I thought that my chapters were posting but they werent please forgive me. As always read and reveiw.

"I know you are there, I have been ordered not to kill you or harm you, so there's no point in hiding." He muttered mulishly. Mina scowled from the shadows,

"Who says I'm hiding? Perhaps I do not wish to see you?" She retorted coolly, staying hidden in the shadows, watching warily, every muscle tensed and waiting for him to move.

"Please Mina, the years have been long and lonely, I am merely requesting your company, I wish to see how you have changed since I last saw you. Seeing you in my master's office was a shock to say the least, I have believed you to be dead for three hundred years. When you walked in to that office I was surprised to say the least." His voice sounded tired, against her instincts Mina stepped slowly out of the shadows, her eyes wary and distrusting, she remained silent and still as Alucard walked around her, delicately sniffing her every so often, Mina stayed silent as he tugged on her hair gently and ran his fingers across her lips.

"What are you doing?" She asked eventually, batting his hands away with irritation. He grinned at her.

"I was wondering if I was so desperate for company that I had dreamed you up. But you smell and feel real. So perhaps I have not imagined you?" He mused, stepping back, his eyes never leaving her.

Mina merely raised a brow and sighed. "Very well, conduct your experiments, I shall allow them." She muttered, closing her eyes as his fingers gently traced her features; he was almost hesitant in his tentative touches. Mina's eyes opened when she felt his hands shake as he cupped her face, he was gazing at her as though she were the most profound being he had ever seen. Feeling distinctly uncomfortable, Mina gently lowered his hands.

"See, I'm real and here. For a while at any rate. Now tell me about this new world, where women are in charge. It is so different to the world I once knew." She mused quietly, a gleeful smile on her lips.

"I thought you were gone from me forever, Mina." He rumbled, grasping her arms and dragging her closer to him and enfolding her in his arms tightly. Mina was stiff and unyielding in his grasp, shock paralysing the woman into immobility.

"Alucard, you misunderstand my intentions, I did not come here for you. I am bound in servitude to another, I currently find myself at a bit of a loose end. The Hellsing family owed me a debt and I merely came here to make good on it. That is all." She explained gently. Instead of looking relieved or even pleased Alucard looked furious, Mina sighed.

"Look I had no idea you were here, I thought you were locked away somewhere or dead. I had hoped it would be the latter but unfortunately I have to work with you now. So we must at least be civil to each other, no?" She reasoned, desperation tinging her voice as she backed away from the raging vampire, who surged forward and grabbed her arms in a vice like grip, Mina growled low in her throat, warning him.

"You expect me to be civil? How dare you! I gave you everything your selfish little heart desired, you ungrateful bitch! How dare you speak to me in such a manner, I am your master! You will obey me; you are my toy to do with as I please! If I want to fuck you, I shall! You are mine, I gave you life and I shall take it away if I so desire it! You are nothing without me!" He roared, punctuating every word by shaking her violently. Mina was seeing double by the end of his rant, shoving him away from her she staggered backwards colliding with a wall.

"Don't you dare, try and dictate to me what I can and cannot do! I drank your blood, Dracula! I am a true vampire; I am bound to no master! I am not a toy nor am I here for your amusement! If you so much as look at me the wrong way I will leave this place and never return! I will sleep until this earth turns it's last and as the earth burns I will still sleep, you will never have me, you monster! I will never Love you!" she shrieked, her crimson gaze burning into his, whirling around, she opened the door and stalked through it bristling with fury.

Reviews are a balm to my aching fingers. until next time my lovlies.
