Howdy! Four is finaly done. Didn't really had much time to make it (I blame school), but here it is anyway. Enjoy.

'You know him?' Longs said, who had apparently snapped out of his bloodlust.

'Yeah, he used to visit me sometimes in the orphanage.'

Alexander looked at me with a mixture of disappointment and pity. 'Ye would have made such a fine paladin, lad. Too bad those protestant dogs sealed away ye divine powers. And now they've taken from you your humanity as well.'

He crossed his two bayonets. 'The least I could do for ye is give you a quick and painless dead.'

'Wait, what 'divine' powers?'

Before he could give me an answer, five gunshots where heard through the air and the bullets buried themselves in Alexander's body. He didn't seemed to care, as the wounds slowly disappeared.

Him too?

Alexander and I looked at the woman who had, though she was still nailed to the wall, shot him.

'You, my draculina, won't be getting any special treatment.'

Alexander slowly walked towards them woman. She trashed about, but couldn't get loose of the blades firmly stuck in the wall and her shoulders.

'Yo, Jack, this is our chance to escape,' Longs said.

Indeed it was, Alexander was busy with that woman at the moment. We could make a run for it.

'But what about her?' Attempt to kill me or not, I couldn't just let her die.

'Dude, she's screwed, and we're too if we stay here.'

I toughed about that for a moment. I don't know why I did what I did, but it seemed to be the right thing at the moment.

Curse me and my sympathy.

I took out my gun and aimed it at the priest. 'Alexander, please stop. Or I'll…'

'Or what?' He turned away from the woman and looked at me. 'You'll shoot me?'

The gun was shaking in my hand, no, my hands where shaking.

Longs looked at me. 'We must go now! Forget her!'

He turned back at the woman and crossed his blades like a pair of scissors, ready to decapitate the woman. 'May the lord take pity upon your soul.'

I kept firing until I heard a 'click,' the sign that my gun was empty.

Again, Alexander was unaffected by the bullets. He turned himself to me. 'How dare ye, favouring this demon above me?! I've bloody always looked out for ye!'

He stormed at me. 'Say your prayers!'

I closed my eyes and awaited my dead. But it didn't came. Instead, I heard steel clash on steel. I looked to see what was happening: Longs had jumped between us and blocked the attack with his sword. 'Listen carefully, Jack, cause I ain't telling twice: run. Run as far away as possible and live.'

'Longs, I can help! Together, we might…'

'No discussion. This is too much, for the both of us. Now go.'

He pushed me away as he and Alexander battled it out in a swordfight. Longs could scratch him a few times, but the wounds of Alexander immediately disappeared.

I looked around for a way to help him, then I saw the scalpel from before laying on the ground. I picked it op and ran at Alexander, but Longs pushed me away again. 'Dammit Jack! I told you to…'

But he couldn't finish his sentence, as a bayonet buried itself in his chest.

He fell to the ground, where I caught him. He looked at me with his red eyes, blood coming out of his mouth. 'I messed up good, didn't I? And now… I'm finished.'

'N-no you're not, it-it barely hit you.'

Who was I kidding? The bayonet went right trough his heart.

He took a piece of cloth out of his pocket and gave it to me, it was a map.

'This is the exact location of the… Hellsing manor.'

'Longs, I don't understand what your asking from me.'

He smiled at me. 'How I'm supposed to now what I'm asking? I'm freaking dying, man.'

A few tears where welling up. But I wasn't going to cry, not now. Not in front of him.

'Can I ask you a favour… Jack?'

'Sure, man, anything.'

I came closer to him to hear him better. 'Become a true vampire, and live.'

He then vanished, only leaving a pile of ash and his silver cross. I held it firmly in my hand. The silver was burning a hole trough my hand, but I didn't care.

I'll avenge you, Longs. That, I swear.

Alexander, who was watching in quietness the whole time, now did a few steps closer and looked at the cross in my hand. 'Don't ye worry, you'll soon be reunited with him.'

I picked up Longs sword and attacked Alexander in a berserk rage. I wanted him dead, obliterated, crushed. But most importantly of all, I wanted to eat him. Hear him scream as I devoured him.

I blocked on of his bayonets and gave him such a powerful punch, that he was launched trough a wall.

The woman was looking at me, shocked by my bloodlust. I could see my red eyes in the reflection of her blues. When I was finished with the priest, she would be my prize. I inhaled her blood: pure virgin blood, what an excellent dessert.

That thought made me flinch, this wasn't me, but my vampiric side.

Alexander made use of my daze, as he threw so many bayonets at me, that I couldn't count them all.

I managed to dodge most of them, but was still hit. Two flew in my left leg, one went trough my chest and another one got stuck in my arm.

I fell to the ground, in shock by the pain. The bayonets where burning in my flesh.

I removed most of them, but when I tried to remove the one in my chest, the priest stomped it even deeper with his foot.

I made a pathetic attempt to stab him with Long's sword, but he just kicked it out of my hand.

'Did ye really think some inexperienced vampire can kill a paladin?'

'Well, fate favours the brave,' I said while I threw my useless gun at his face. He, of course, easily dodged it.

He now took out another bayonet and raised it up, aiming at my head. 'Don't ye worry, ye will be seeing your friend again sooner then ye think, now die!'

Was this the end of me? I saw the lethal blade moving forward.

I closed my eyes.

Stop!!!

I awaited a sharp pain in my forehead, but no pain came. I hesitated, then opened one of my eyes. The bayonet was right in front of my forehead, but Alexander didn't moved an inch.

Was he toying with me?

I waved my hand in front of his face, no response. I slapped him, nothing.

I made use of his strange situation to remove the bayonet stuck in my chest and move under him. I inspected the damage, it had gone right between my heart and left lung, only slightly damaging the lung.

Lucky me.

Alexander was still motionless, and so was the police girl, who was stuck in an eternal stare at the priest. It was also strangely quite, there was an absolute absent of sound, save from my movement. I looked at my watch, it stopped at 12 past 12. What the hell was going on?

My brain quickly toughed up one answer. I stopped the flow of time.

Pff, that's absurd, how is that even possible?

Well, it was just as absurd as vampires being actually real.

Anyways, I could use this extra time. I walked to the woman and removed the two bayonets from her. Of course, there flowed no blood out of her wounds, not until time started moving again.

I searched the room for medical equipment. Ah, here we go, a wire and a needle.

I structured here two wounds as best as I could, having no real expertise, save for watching 'House,' on surgery.

I picked up Long's sword once more and looked at the defenceless priest. 'So, ye wa going to kill me aye mate?' I said while trying to duplicate his Irish accent.

'Well, I don't think so.'

I stabbed him in the chest, then again, and again, and before I knew it I was hacking in on him like a mad man. When I calmed down, he still looked unharmed. That is, until time starts flowing again.

Not feeling quite done, I gave him a kick in the crotch to finish it. 'That's for stabbing me, ass.'

A sudden pain in my chest took me by surprise. It wasn't from the wound, but from something else. I removed my shirt to see that my tattoo was glowing red, together with a few words that weren't on it the last time.

"Hell's Gate Arrested / Gott Mit Uns / And Shine Heaven Now"

Before I could ask myself what this was all about, the pain suddenly became more intense. I needed to stop using this power or it'll kill me. I concentrated real hard and closed my eyes again.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the effect of my attack on Alexander. He grabbed his crotch yelling 'aargggh!' but his two arms fell off before he could reach his damaged manhood.

Try to regenerated those.

'H-how?! Ye powers should have been sealed!' he uttered.

I smiled, I had no idea how I've pulled it off, but that wasn't important. What was important that he was defenseless, and I had a sword.

The woman was just as surprised as Alexander, having just witnessed that Alexander's arms just fell of out of their own will.

'Very impressive, Jack. I've never seen a vampire that was able to move so fast, that even I couldn't see it. You might yet be a challenge.'

I looked at the man who had just entered the room. To my displeasure, it was Alucard.

'Master!' the police girl said cheerfully.

The vampire seemed to ignore her and looked at the priest with an arrogant smile. 'It seems we have the advantage, judas priest.'

The priest stood up. 'Ha! This battle might be yours, but I'll be back!' He looked angry at me. 'And next time, ye won't be so lucky.'

He disappeared in a flurry of bible pages.
'That's right, you better run!' I yelled at him. 'We sure showed hi…' I came to the conclusion that I was looking in the barrel of Alucard's gun.

Wonderfull, I've been fighting for my life no-stop and now he was just going to shoot me, like a dog.

'Hey, don't shoot me,' I said in an attempt to extend my lifespan. 'I did save your fledgling.'

He seemed to doubt, but that could just be his sick mind choosing how to kill me. 'Police girl, is this true?'

She looked at her structured wounds, trying to figure out when I structured them. 'Yes, he did.'

Thank god.

Alucard smiled, but still didn't removed his gun from my face. 'Now, my master wants you dead as fast as possible, but for saving my fledgling, I think I can give you a head-start.'

'Head-start?'

'Yes, I'll give you 5 hours. Run, hide and entertain me, boy.'

Unbelievable. 'So you're just going to hunt me? For your own fun?' I said angry. I did a step towards him and pressed the gun firmly to my forehead. 'Well, then I rather have that you shoot me now.'

'And I will,' he said with that sadistic smirk of his. 'In five hours.'

I growled and step out the room. But went back in just to take a few bloodbags. It would need those later on.

I gave the most angry glare in my arcenale at the police girl. 'How can you live with yourself? I mean, bloody hell, I didn't even hurt anybody and you two are still going to kill me?!'

I immeadedly regretted saying that, as I saw a deep sadness in her eyes. 'That's just the way it is.'

Call me weak hearted, but I pitied her more than myself on that moment.

I sighted and ran out of the building running as far away as I could from those two. If I would meet them again, I would die. I was sure of it.

I took out the piece of paper Long's gave me. However, I had a secret weapon.

Seras pov

Jack got me confused, he wasn't like all the other vampires. If what he said was true, then he still hadn't killed someone and disliked blood. Like me. He even helped me, even though I shot him.

'Having second thoughts?' my master said.

Darn right I'm having second thoughts. 'Master,' I said. 'Can't we leave him alone? I mean, he did only drink medical blood, maybe he's…'

'No,' he said self-assured. 'Sooner or later, he will give in to drinking real blood.' His trademark smirk appeared again. 'Just like you will, police girl.'

I sighted. Jack might be innocent, but I wasn't going to disobey my master.

Even if it meant killing him myself.

Alucard's pov

This turned out quite differently than I expected.

I was watching his fight from the beginning. The boys powers where pitiful compared to a true vampire. But that all changed very fast. He had beaten Alexander in less than a second. A pretty impressive feat. He changed from a mere drink into a interesting opponent. Could he give me the fight I so longed to?

I grinned. Jack, I hope you don't disappoint.
