Chapter Two: Pets

Alucard POV

Well I was right. It turns out it was a lovely night for a bite to drink. I chuckle to myself as walk back to the police tents. Looking down I remember I am carrying the young police girl. Looking down at her I could get a better look at her; she was a small girl quite childlike if she was not as well endowed as she was. I had to admit she was courageous even in death and now she has chosen to become a child of the night and I am curious to see how my new fledgling will cope. That is of course if my Master agrees to adopt her into the Hellsing Organization. If not I guess I will just have to end this child's afterlife before it has even started.

As I walked up to the police tent I am greeted by a familiar scent. My master has arrived; it took her long enough I had to say I expected her earlier. She must have spent longer than she would have liked with those police officer imbeciles. I wonder if Miss Avery drained them…I wouldn't put it past her if they had been impertinent. Even though I knew that my Master would never allow myself or Avery to feed openly in or around Hellsing Manor without special circumstances however it was an amusing mental image none the less.

Speak of the demon. I think to myself as Avery's golden eyes appear in front of me followed by a large flaming figure which faded into one annoyed and confused looking she-demon. I chuckle loudly at the young demon as she looks confused and a little irritated. Oh this will be fucking fantastic! I think to myself as I watch the demons expressions change from confusion to anger back to confusion again.

"What is that?!" She asked dryly poking at the fledgling in my arms. She looked confused and furrowed her brows staring at the young woman asleep in my arms.

"I offered her the chance to become a child of the night and she accepted. She was going to be raped and ripped apart by a cockroach vampire, so I shot her in the chest and offered her the choice."

"Woah wait…you shot her in the chest?" Avery exclaimed. Looking round to make sure no humans were within earshot.

"Well yes it was the only way to pierce the vampire." I explained as I started walking on towards the camp. "I'm sure she will thank you for that later" Avery snapped as she followed behind me mumbling under her breath.

"She made the choice herself Avery she will tell you herself when she wakes after the change is complete." I growled at the she demon as she glared back at me from her position. Crossing her arms over her chest and sighing she walked towards us and stopped so she could get a good look at the new girl. Her golden eyes flashed as she looked deep into the mind of the sleeping woman.

"She is like a little sleeping kitten. A completely fucked up and traumatized kitten but a kitten none the less." Avery mused out loud as she bit her bottom lip in deep thought and then took a few steps back pulling herself out of Sera's mind.

"Well Alucard, I can't wait to see the Master's face when you show her this little souvenir" Avery snorted as she ran her finger up and down the young woman's sleeping figure. Giggling sadistically to herself she burned back into flames and disappeared.

Avery POV

I had regenerated myself close to the tents and decided to take a slow walk back to where my Mistress was waiting with the head of the Cheddar police force. I was not expecting Alucard to bring back a new pet. He kept to himself and the idea that now all of a sudden one little girl will make him surrender all of that has shocked me a little. I wonder if Madam will allow her to stay with us. I mean she will have nowhere else to go so it is either work for the Mistress or we get to kill her… If Alucard got to change her does that mean technically I can drain her and kill her?

Walking through the groups of police offers I made my way into the main tent. Integra was standing outside smoking a cigar waiting patiently with Walter stood beside her also smoking a cigarette. I furrowed my brow in annoyance. I was never much of a fan of smoking I didn't understand the human impulse to slowly kill oneself with small flaming sticks. I knew that it was not my place to comment on my Mistress' pastimes. Walter however was a different story, he knew I hated people smoking over the last thirty years I am sure I never let him finish a cigarette in front of me and I wasn't about to start now. I smiled to myself as I strode over to the smoking pair.

Walter POV

It was getting colder outside as the night turned to morning. Sir Integra and I stood outside waiting for the two demons to return from the attack site. It was taking a little bit longer than we would have liked and I could see that Sir Integra was starting to get a little bit agitated. She took another long drag of her cigar and turned to me.

"Walter, they are taking their time. I told Avery to go and fetch Alucard that was over an hour ago. Do demons enjoy being insubordinate shits?" She grumbled through her cigar. I smiled slightly as I expelled the rest of the smoke from my own cigarette.

"I believe time for the undead is a little different than how we see it. They have both been around for centuries an hour for them would be nothing to us. That is what I have been led to believe over the years working with demons. Ma'am." I chuckle to myself as I recall how Avery went for a nap and woke up a month later like nothing was wrong. We were quite lucky that we had not been under attack; I woke the Fury once before during an emergency and…well, I would never ever volunteer for that job again. I am pretty sure that if it had not been me she would have ripped the offending person apart. Alucard on the other hand will stay in his room for months at a time during quiet seasons, it is not uncommon at all. Demons do get bored quickly that is one thing I have learned over the years.

I looked over into the distance and noticed Miss Avery walking towards us. She had a strange look on her face, as if she was trying to figure something out in her head but forgot a word or a direction. As she strode over to our area her golden eyes raised and locked onto my own as a sly smirk began to creep onto her mouth…she did not take her eyes off of me until she was directly in front of Sir Integra whom she bowed to and then in a flash plucked the half finished cigarette from my lips and set it alight in her hands.

"You know my thoughts on smoking Walter, Madam is Madam and may do as she pleases. You however do not need to give death anymore reason to take you early." She commented dryly as she went to stand next to me. A small traitorous smile crossed my lips as she placed herself next to me. I do not think she has any idea that her words are affectionate in human terms.

"Mistress I have found the demon Alucard, he will be arriving shortly and he has brought a souvenir that I think you will enjoy" Said Avery as she crossed her arms and looked into the general direction of the male demon who had decided to make an appearance.

Avery was right, he was carrying a young woman in his arms barely a teenager with bright yellow hair. She seemed quite peaceful asleep in his arms. Integra stiffened up and walked towards the vampire.

"You took too long. I ordered you to destroy the vampire not for you to have tea with them!" Integra growled through her cigar, blowing the smoke out angrily. As she caught sight of the young girl her gaze softened ever so slightly.

"I will get someone to take care of her" Integra commented as she turned her back to walk to the chopper.

"No, I want you to transfer her onto Hellsing Headquarters." Alucard commented as he followed her onto the chopper.

Oh this shall be interesting.

Avery POV

I stood watching the standoff between Master and servant. It was funny, like watching a small child beg his mother to keep their ugly stray kitten….no actually that's exactly what was happening. Watching this conversation unfold was strangely amusing it looks as if Alucard may actually be allowed to keep his new pet.

"You do not make decisions in this organization vampire" Master snapped as she walked to the chopper. "But this time we shall test her and you may keep her." Integra said as she sat down in the chopper preparing for takeoff.

I followed behind placing myself next to Mistress in the chopper as the vampire and his new pet placed themselves in the seats opposite us. Walter took the controls and we began to set course for Hellsing Manor. Leaning over and lighting Sir Integra's cigar I leaned up against the window looking down at the humans below. They were so tiny, like little baby ants and they had no idea what happens behind the big black doors. As the flight continues I begin to lose myself in my thoughts.

I must not lie that I am slightly jealous of the vampire's new pet. The last time I even mentioned the idea of taking a pet I was shot down by Sir Integra within seconds. Apparently it is alright and dandy for a four-hundred year old vampire to turn people into his servants but if I want to go out a hunt a couple of men and women, keep them as a pets that is seen as morally wrong apparently….I will never understand these humans and their strange morals. I mean I told Integra that I would not kill them I would just feed from him every now and again and keep them locked in one of the rooms. Apparently that is deemed as torture to humans….who knew? I guess massacring humans and undead is alright as long as it is for work….or unless you can turn them into the undead…which I can't.

Giggling to myself I turn to face the front of the chopper to see Walter giving me a smile from the rear view mirror. I smile up at him and look around at the other passengers. This is definitely becoming interesting.
