Chapter 1: Cheddar & the Childe
Alucard stalked through the forest on his way to the small village, the full moon shining brightly. While he strolled a voice came through on the small earpiece her wore.
"Base to bloodsucker. Base to bloodsucker. Are you hearing me?" The voice said causing him to smirk.
"Ah...seems you were able to wake up and join us this evening." He said in reply.
"You know what vampire?" The voice responded with sass, "I slept through ONE mission and suddenly that is all I'm about."
"Don't let him antagonize you, Terra." Sir Integra's voice came through, "You know he just likes to make you flustered."
"Yeah, yeah. I know." Terra responded, "You're coming up quick on the police base camp, Integra. They've sent many squads in and the life signs in Cheddar just keep going down."
"I'll deal with the police, you stay with Alucard." Integra ordered.
"Right, Boss. Let me know if you need anything." She pressed a button to mute Integra and unmute Alucard, "Right vampire it's just you and me now."
"How lovely." He responded with a wide grin she could hear.
"You know when you get back we should work on my shooting. My combat armor and blessed weapons have been done for weeks but Integra won't let me in the field until I'm able to hit all the targets in the head or heart on the first shot. You being the our best marksmen, it make sense for you to teach me."
"You don't need to be in the field." He replied, "You just stay in your box at the manor with your computers."
"Come on...wouldn't it be fun to work together in the field? Killing ghouls and dusting vamps."
"No."
"Well then I guess I'll have to train with the human soldiers..."
"Terra.."
"Probably take up most of my days and nights..."
"Terra..." He repeated firmer and with a light growl.
"I'm sure those me are reputable. Can keep their hands and...other appendages to themselves." She finished with a smirk. There was a moment of silence before he replied.
"We will begin upon my return."
"Knew you'd see it my way, Red." She said with a wide smile, "You're almost there. Only one life sign left and it's on the move. Heading towards the graveyard. One vampire and a lot of ghouls in pursuit."
"How beautiful." Alucard said looking at the moon, "Nights like this make me want to have a bite to drink. Yes...I couldn't imagine a more...perfect evening."
"Good hunting, then." Terra says, "And break that earpiece or shot my drone again and there'll be hell to pay."
Terra slumps back in her chair she knows she won't get a response from him until after the vampire and ghouls were destroyed. She glances over at her other monitor to see that Integra and Walter were still at the police camp explaining things. She looked back at Alucard's monitor just in time to see him get shredded by bullets, his earpiece destroyed with most of his body. 'He definitely did that on purpose.' she thinks with a sigh, typing out a note to get him a new one. Once he reforms and starts slaughtering the ghouls she activates the program she made to count his shots. Best way to make sure she always had enough bullets on hand for him. Terra watches the freak vampire take the survivor hostage, frowning grimly when Alucard shoots through both to kill the vampire. 'What's he doing?' she thinks leaning in closer to the screen while he kneels beside the victim. Her mouth drops open and her eyes go wide while she fumbles to unmute Integra.
"Sir Integra it's finished..." she says eyes still glued to the screen, "And you're not gonna believe what he's done."
Later, while Alucard and his new childe were sleeping, Terra arrived at Integra's office. She hands over a file.
"Is this everything?" Integra asks flipping through it.
"Yes everything there is to know about Seras Victoria."
"Good." Integra says, "Why don't you go rest? You've been up far to long."
"I think I will." She replies, "Good day, Integra."
That night Terra followed Integra and Walter down to the basement. She has a uniform and earpiece for Seras. When they arrive at her room she's screaming.
"You're too loud, Police Girl." Integra says, "I don't care if you are a vampire. You're still English have some manners."
"So a vampire." Seras says with a sigh, "Sorry but where am I?"
"This is our headquaters. We are called the Hellsing Organization." Integra explains.
Terra tunes out while Integra continues to explain. She knew all this and had a lot more on her mind. She had to get back to tracking the string of recent attacks and finding the next location. She comes to when Walter grabs Seras's uniform from her and presents it. Looks like it's her turn to explain.
"Now I bet you're wondering who the young, good looking person in the back is." Terra says coming up to sit besides Seras on the bed, "I'm Terra. I'll be outfitting you with anything you could possibly need in the field. Weapons, uniforms, information, snacks, anything. I got this for you..." She held up the earpiece and placed in Seras's ear, "It's an earpiece and make communication way easier. Please do not destroy every single one I give you like you master does."
"I'll try not too." She says shyly.
"Thank you. I'm sure you will."
"Now get ready." Integra orders, "You have a mission to take care of."
"Guess that's my cue to get back to work." Terra says standing from the bed, "Good hunting, vampires."
I hope you enjoyed. Please leave a review :)
