Helloooo!

Thank you all so much for reading my latest chapter. I promise we will be getting into the nitty gritty stuff soon. I am just using these first few chapters to set the tone of the story If you have any requests please leave a comment it makes me very happy.

Chapter Four:

Alucard POV

It had been a couple of days since the little spat with our resident Fury. She had started to learn not to play games with my fledgling. Once Sir Integra had got wind of the goings on the demon soon toned her tricks down. Not that I could blame her for messing with her; the police girl was quite a nervous creature it seemed and in any other case if she was not mine I would be doing the same thing.

Furthermore, the fact that she had been one of us for nearly a month and has refused to drink blood was beginning to agitate me. If she did not want this life then she should have accepted death when it came.

As I made my way down the corridors to my Masters room I turned to look out of the window. I noticed the Fury loitering in her usual place outside the manor, she looked as though she was about to do the evening security checks. It was true that we had never seen eye to eye over the last ten years. Avery had been recruited whilst I was locked away in the cellar; we only met once Sir Integra had released me. She had been away with a mission with Walter during the time of the attack.

I chuckle to myself as I think about how the Hellsing butler, a sadistic and merciless retired demon hunter has managed to get himself so taken with a vengeance demon. Of all the ironies on this earth this was one of the most amusing. I had offered Walter the chance at immortality many times before. Once a decade on average but now he is an older man seemed to take pride in his aging. I often remind him that spending his last living years longing after a vengeance demon was pointless; demons do not love. It is not an emotion that we tend to be associated with; when we lose our humanity our capacity to love gets removed. We become cruel, vengeful soulless beasts. Not something to love. To love is human. To lust is demonic. We use humans for our carnal desires – to feed, to fuck and to kill for sport on occasion. We may be able to appear human in certain forms but to make the mistake that under the façade we are anything like the humans we once were…well that is just foolish.

As I make my way down the corridor and phase into my Master's office I notice that she seems deep in thought. Smoking one of her cigars as she looks over what seem to be reports of murders.

"I hope this will not become a habit, your little toy" Integra says without looking up from the images.

"The police girl made the choice on her own" I state before bowing. Integra took another long drag of her cigar before stubbing it out in her ashtray.

"Yes, well you had better train her up well Alucard" She said coldly as she raised her eyes to meet my own.

"Yes Master" I bow again.

"Take a look at this. We have been tracking some demonic activity in Birmingham."

I raise an eyebrow and move closer to the desk running my eyes over the graphic images held by my Master. These were clearly demonic in nature, messy to say the least they would be young demons to be leaving such an obvious mess in their wake. Stupid children probably, thinking they are untouchable. They will soon see this is not the case.

"They have been murdering whole families, drinking their blood and using the spoils to draw blasphemous messages on the walls." Integra finished as she placed the images back onto her desk and rested back on her elbows.

"They just don't make vampires like the used to" I muse out loud with a smirk.

"I don't recall asking for your opinion" Master snapped as she turned away from me and pulled out another cigar.

"Alucard, I want these freaks dealt with tonight" She orders coldly lighting her cigar and taking a long drag. Bowing low with a sadistic smile I take my leave to prepare myself for my hunt. "Yes Master"

Seras POV

I had been told to report to the shooting range by Captain Garrett, a young human solider who led the squadron of soldiers at the Hellsing Manor. He was quite attractive but seemed to be a bit of an asshole, not a fan of vampires or demons – which I guess is kind of expected given his job role.

As I walk into the shooting range, I feel uneasy as all of the soldiers turn to look at me. I begin to blush as I walk slowly into the room and line up to take my shot. I notice the soldiers smirking and whispering amongst themselves. It was beginning to make me mad. I was treated like this when I was a human in the police force; they never took me seriously…not ever.

As I positioned myself to take a shot at the target I became distracted by a sudden voice behind me. As I turn around I notice Captain Garrett standing there with a much larger weapon.

"This one might suit you better" He comments with a smirk as he hands me the larger weapon. I brace myself to be overcome by the weight of the weapon but as I take a hold of the gun I notice that it is remarkably light.

"That's strange what's it made of?" I ask as I inspect the weapon whilst trying to ignore the patronizing laughter of the other soldiers.

"It is 15kg plus extra few for ammo" Garrett stated as he turned to face his men who were still laughing.

Lining myself up to the target and taking a long breath in I took three shots at the target; hitting both legs and one shoulder mark on the target. Letting out a deep breath I lower the weapon feeling quite impressed with myself.

"Your shot is no good, not for what we are hunting. You will be no good here or anywhere else" Garrett said dryly as I turned to face him. I felt myself getting red and welling up with embarrassment as the other guards looked on coldly. It was obvious that they didn't not appreciate or want the help of a vampire. I stepped back as Captain Garrett took a hold of the scruff of my uniform top I braced myself for some form of impact that did not come.

A familiar voice broke the tension in the room. "Captain Garrett, prepare your unit for deployment." Standing in the doorway with her arms folded was Miss Avery, to be honest I was happy to see her even if she scared me. She looked annoyed as she walked onto the range walking up to the Captain. As the other soldiers moved out with their weapons I turned back to the Captain who had removed his hand from my shirt and stepped back.

"Yes, Miss" He responded slowly as he glared at the demon woman who was approaching him. Quickly turning back to face me he leaned forward and whispered in my ear.

Avery POV

"Maybe you're too highly strung for this type of work kid" The captain whispered into the young vampire's ear. I could see she was upset and uncomfortable and I was not prepared to allow a lowly human male intimidate one of my kind, even if she is a skittish young demon she is a demon none the less and will need to learn how to deal with prick humans such as Garrett.

As I walk over to the Captain I place myself directly in front of him almost nose to nose. I could feel the young man's blood pressure rise and I could see the little droplets of swear starting to form on his upper lip.

"Captain, in your own time then…" I utter coldly as the Captain takes a large step back and makes his way out of the room. Mumbling some obscenities under his breath, rolling my eyes I turn back to the young vampire who had moved over the gun rack and placed her new gun back.

I was starting to feel bad for the child. She really was not adjusting well to this afterlife. I could relate somewhat, it is hard for us all when we realize we are no longer what we knew. The fact that becoming a monster is so subtle you barely register it. It makes you wonder if we were always monsters and we never knew it.

The young vampire sat down on the bench in front of the gun rack and rested her head in her hands. "Umm…Miss Avery…do you think I am highly strung?" She muttered from her position.

"Pardon?" I frown a little and take a seat next to the youngling.

"Like Captain Garrett just said…I don't think I am cut out for this" She sighed lifting her head up from her hands.

"Kitten they are just humans their opinions don't matter." I rest a hand on her shoulder and give her a smile but she just shook her head and let out a long groan as she stretched her arms out in front of her.

"Yes…but I don't think …I could ever...' she began. "You need to remember that you are no longer human; they will see you as an undead monster no matter what you do. That is just how it is for us." I explained. Standing up from the bench and collecting a gun from the rack behind Seras.

"You just need to give them something to fear. It's easy once you know what you're doing." I chuckle as I prep and load the gun.

"Don't get upset about it Kitten. You will learn, I promise. We don't all start out like your Master I can assure you of that." I smile down the young vampire as she smiles slightly.

Seras POV

I was a little bit shocked about how nice Miss Avery was being with me. I was not expecting her to be this caring...is she being caring? I don't know. Can demons care? I shuffle a little in my seat as I watch the older demon prep and load a number of different guns.

"Miss Avery what are you? I mean…my master he called you Fury." I asked as I stood up from my seat and started to prep my own gun.

"Yes, you heard correctly. I am not a vampire like yourself or Alucard. I am a fury, a vengeance demon if you will. You know the term 'scare to death' well that is my speciality. I make it my job to hunt and feed on the energy of the lower beings like abusers, lesser demons…tax collectors. You get the picture Kitten?"

"So you don't drink blood then?" I ask as I look at the demon, she had a new outfit on today. Does she not have a uniform? She was wearing a pair of long black office trousers and a red blouse with a poppy brooch. Her long hair was pulled up into a bun at the back of her head. I noticed that Miss Avery was actually smiling at me. She reminded me of one of my teachers in school Mrs Lucas…she was my history teacher I wonder what she is doing now…she's probably dead by now she was ancient all those years ago.

Before I could get lost in my own thoughts Miss Avery broke through the silence. "No I do not drink blood child; I live off of human energy. It is a strange concept to get your head around."

"Oh that sounds different. Miss Avery I do not know how I am supposed to be like this. Master is trying to make me drink blood and I just can't bring myself to do it." I exclaim as I start to pace the range. I didn't mean to start a rant but I couldn't talk to anyone in this place and it was driving me insane.

"Blood is part of your diet now Kitten. You ate meat as a human didn't you?" Avery asked as she began to set up a set of new targets.

"Well yes but that is different…" I began.

"There is no difference. If you were alright with eating an animal's flesh you should be alright with drinking a human's blood. There is practically no difference in that. It's natural selection Kitten." Avery snaps back at me making me lower my head.

"Look Kitten, if you feel this bad about your current state you need some training. Your master will be training you in the vampire side of things but if you would like I could give you a few pointers for dealing with pricks like the Captain. You know woman to woman?" Her offer shocked me. She seemed to be genuinely looking out for me and it was actually quite a nice feeling.

"Umm…Yes, that would be nice Miss Avery thank you…" I say quietly as I look at the older woman. She seemed a lot less threatening today. Has something changed? I know that Sir Integra had ordered Miss Avery to stop messing with me but she is being nicer than I would expect…

Avery POV

I place the last target in place and walk back over to the young vampire. Looking at the clock we had taken enough time here. Kitten had a mission to take care of.

"Child, You are part of Garrett's team are you not?" I say as I hand the young vampire her large new weapon indicating to her that she should probably hurry off. She seemed to receive the message as she jumped over to me and collected the weapon and ran off out of the door.

"Huh? Oh yes of course. I will see you later Miss Avery!" She exclaimed as she ran out of the door and up the stairs.

Seras Victoria I will make a demon of you even if it kills me. I should probably talk to Alucard and Mistress about this offer. I am probably stepping on toes again.

I finished prepping a few more guns and lay them down on the table next to me. Lined myself up to one of the targets and with a quick movement I conjured a fireball in my hand and sent it flying towards the target engulfing it with flames. Well I guess that's why I do not bother with target practice. I chuckle to myself as I start to clean up the offending ash that had formed at the base of the former target.

A few moments later I caught the familiar scent of my master walking towards the shooting range. Walking to the table where I had set out the guns I waited for my Mistress to join me in the room.

"Madam I had a feeling you would make an appearance down here. I have your guns prepped." I bow as Sir Integra walked past me and collected one of the many weapons on the table and began shooting at the targets.

About an hour had passed before I noticed the scent of the Hellsing butler approaching he was probably planning on updating us on the situation with Seras and Alucard. Apparently a pair of young vampires were running riot in the north of the country. They really don't make demons like the used to.

I was pulled from my thoughts as the older man walked down the stairs and entered the room. Turning to the older man I smile and return to watch my Mistress. The butler smiled and bowed slightly as he walked up and stood next to me and addressed Sir Integra relaying information on the offending party.

"Garrett's unit have set up a blockade on the M6 motorway. We should have our little Bonnie and Clyde situation under control in two hours." He explained as I kept my eyes on Sir Integra I couldn't help but tune into his heartbeat and his breathing it was nice and calming. Did he have to stand that bloody close? I thought we had talked about this... He smells so good…oh fuck….when was the last time I fed!? It must be about a month now…I need to go and feed.

Walter POV

I was probably taking liberties standing as close as I was to Miss Avery. I swore I felt her jump a little when I brushed past her. That's not like her at all. She must be out of sorts today. I look over to the Fury and she will not take her eyes off of Sir Integra.

"Those two vampires have no idea what they have become do they?" Integra asked as she fired a shot into the heart of the target and began to reload.

"No, Madam. They are just children. Everyone lusts after immortality but they do not understand that it is not a gift. It is a curse." Avery spoke up from next to me. She looked sad. It was known among a few members of the organization that our resident Fury was not a fan of her own immortality.

"Yes, but these two do not seem to be affected by the curse which is rare." Integra replied as she lined herself up to the next target.

"Yes. I must say it is quite unheard of." I agree as I think back to the previous demons we had dealt with. Each type of demon had its own kind of curse. Vampires can't eat human food or go outside in direct sunlight to name a few things. Furies, they have emotional issues shall we say, they can be a bit touchy. They also cannot consume human food or touch a human being for an extended amount of time.

I looked over at Avery who seemed deep in thought. Her face was full of sadness with a deep breath she looked at the ceiling.

"You humans are always looking for a way to be bigger and better but you never look inside yourselves and see the beauty of humanity. You are so blessed. You wake and you have infinite possibilities and you constantly change day by day. We don't have that luxury we are frozen and stuck to walk this fucked up planet until we get our comeuppance. Those two children are lucky they will be dragged from this hell before they get attached to it. "

Sadness crept into my chest as I looked at the young demon woman. She had told me before she had been a demon for many centuries and she still was bitter about losing her humanity. She had never told me how she became what she was. I never asked the same as I never asked Alucard; it is such a sensitive topic of conversation for both of them I found it best not to pry.

Sir Integra turned round and walked over to the table where the remaining guns were placed. Placing down her weapon and her earmuffs she straightened out her suit and faced us. "Yes, well as you say. They will not have to walk upon this fucked up planet after tonight. They shall get their comeuppance" She said darkly as she turned to walk out of the room.

"Yes, Madam" We both said in union as we bowed and watched our Master leave the room.

As I turned to face the Fury she had already began to clean up the room and put away the targets. I took a hold of one of the loaded guns and began to remove the ammo and returned it to the proper places.

Avery is being quiet this evening. What on earth is wrong with her? I think to myself as we both work in silence.

"I'm fine Walter…" Avery broke the silence as she walked over to me and sat down on the bench. I raised an eyebrow in protest. As I placed the last gun in the rack I leaned against the table and stared at the young demon.

"No you're not...and what did we talk about going in my head without permission?" I chuckle lightly as she scrunches her face up like a child and muttered under her breath.

"I'm fine honestly Walter. I just forgot to feed this month…it's been busier than usual and I'm tiring out without a feed. That's all. I will go out tomorrow and feed." Avery sighed as she stood up and made her way to the door as she made her way past me I reached out and took a hold of her forearm and turned her round to face me.

"You could always feed off me. It's not like you haven't done that before Odette..." The fury's eyes widen a little as she looks back at me in shock, a hint of red starting to build up in her cheeks. I smirk at the reaction I am getting. It had been a long time since we had been in this kind of position. I don't know where I got the courage from all of a sudden. Maybe all the action around the manor was starting to make me feel young again.

"W-Walter are you insane?! I could kill you!" Avery began in protest as she began to pull herself away from me slightly. That only made me hold onto her more, moving both of my arms and wrapping them around her waist and pulling her closer to me so she was leaning against my chest. I could smell her, she smelt good.

"You didn't kill me the last time you fed from me. If you recall I believe we both enjoyed it…maybe a little more than we would both care to admit?" I purr into her ear, I could feel her body shaking lightly under mine. She must be hungry if she is reacting this way so quickly.

"If I recall correctly you used to enjoy feeding off of me…or am I going senile in my old age?" I chuckle sarcastically as I loosen the grip on Avery's waist resting my hands on her hips and taking the time to look at her. Still as beautiful as the day I met her…

Odette Avery, she had always been very good at being the ruthless vengeance demon but over the last few decades she had gone soft. I knew that and so did she even though she would rarely admit it. There had always been a feeling shared between us and with me being a foolish human fucked up my chance. I should have taken the offer from Alucard years before but I didn't and then Alucard got locked away and I lost my chance at staying at my peak…and I missed my chance with her…

Avery POV

How did this happen? We were cleaning and now we are…what are we doing? This is foolish! I scold myself as I avoid the gaze of the butler. Yes, I had fed off of him before…Was it good? Fuck yes! But I swore I would never feed off of him again. His energy was like syrup it was addictive and sweet and there was a time where I would feed exclusively from him but times have changed now and we were foolish and we can't do that anymore. He smells so good. I need to get away from here or I won't be able to refuse his offer for much longer. I'm famished.

"Thank you Walter…but we can't…we agreed a long time ago that I shouldn't feed off of you. Plus I would probably kill you nowadays…" I sighed looking down.

Walter POV

I could tell that this was a bad idea. We were both just upsetting ourselves. I dropped my hands from her waist and she took a step back and straightened her hair out. I sighed and pushed straightened myself out.

"Forgive me Miss Avery I do not know what came over me…I apologize if I made you uncomfortable. I forgot myself for a moment." I bow gently and take her hand and gently place a kiss on the base of her wrist.

"No Walter, I'm sorry. Let us just forget about this shall we…I-I have to go" Avery said as she stood back and faded into flames. I was left standing in the shooting range with my own thoughts.

Walter C Dornez, you stupid old bastard!

A bit of a longer chapter than normal, I wanted to include a bit of potential fluff and sexual tension. I am not sure if I managed it or not please let me know if you like it and want to see more fluffy and more sensual themes in the coming chapters.
