Anyways, please enjoy this chapter! :D

Back in London, Sir Hellsing was lounging back in his office chair, inspecting the nighttime sky with a keen eye.

He was searching for something with such diligence that he didn't even look away when Martha knocked at the door and brought in a tray of macarons for him.

"I brought you a snack, Sir Hellsing." She placed it next to the growing stack of dirty cutlery and sighed. "I shall clear these away for you if you'd like."

"Leave them be, Martha." He made a 'don't-worry-about-it' motion. "Walter will take care of it when he returns."

"That poor child." She murmured before inching closer to him, studying his concentrated expression with much endearment. "What are you staring at, Sir Hellsing? It is rare to see you so focused."

"I'm trying to name all the constellations, but I can't see a damn thing with all this overcast." He groaned, sliding down in his seat and tapping his thumbs together. "Christ, I can't sleep on nights like these."

"I believe you mean 'mornings like these', Sir." She pointed to the grandfather clock that said 3:35 am. "Please get some rest. You have a meeting in four hours."

"I will, Martha. Don't worry your pretty head over me." He gave her a playful tap on the nose with a strained smile.

'Fake smiles don't suit you, Arthur.' Martha continued to watch him, wringing her apron in her hands. 'All those nights together and you still can't open up to me?

Forgetting her place as a mere maid, she bent over the back of his chair and draped her arms across his shoulders, realizing how tense he actually was.

"Please don't worry, Sir Hellsing. They will be fine."

"Who says I'm worried about Walter and Olivia?" Arthur's tone was indifferent but the hands clinging onto hers told another story. "I know they are perfectly fine."

"I never said their names, Sir Hellsing." Martha giggled, resting her cheek against his hair. "See, you are worried about them."

He didn't bother with a retort and simply heaved a heavy sigh.

"Why should I worry? They are soldiers, not babies."

Martha smiled and nodded.

"And they are Hellsing's best and brightest. So have faith and sleep. I promise you they will be here in the afternoon after a job well done."

Arthur didn't reply at first, choosing to fish around his jacket pocket for his lighter and pack of cigarettes.

"Alucard better heed my orders." He puffed, the smell of nicotine filling the room. "Good soldiers are hard to come by, and I will not tolerate the loss of my best due to his negligence."

"I'm sure Alucard is keeping them safe, Sir Hellsing. He wouldn't purposely place them in mortal danger."

"Thank God one of us believes that."

Within seconds, Baskerville was upon them and a barrage of claws shot out from the darkness, forcing them to dodge rather than attack.

"It's like this thing is the night itself!" Olivia gasped as she back flipped over one of Baskerville's arms. "Regardless, everything has a weakness! We just have to find Baskerville's!"

"Good thinking, Little Rabbit." Alucard caught her by the ankle with an ominous grin. "Let's try an experiment then."

"What?! What experiment?!" Olivia panicked, one hand keeping her dress skirt in place and the other clutching her bow. "What are you doing?!"

Alucard whistled and beckoned to Baskerville, ignoring her questions entirely.

"A-Alucard, you aren't actually going to-?!"

"Hey, doggie! Fetch!" was his answer as Alucard flung her across the plain, Baskerville's attention now on the screaming projectile rather than the 'hunters'.

"A window of opportunity!" Walter snickered, dashing forward alongside Alucard. "Olivia, your sacrifice won't be in vain!"

Crash landing into a weed patch, Olivia barely had time to recover when Baskerville bounded over to her with saliva dripping from its jaws.

"Alucard, you colossal ass!" She screeched, whipping out an arrow and shooting it between the beast's eyes just as a barrage of bullets and wires tore through it.

Its diced remains scattered across the grass while its blood rained down from above….and onto Olivia.

'Remain calm, Olivia. Remain calm,' She chanted to herself as her entire body quivered like the lid of a boiling pot.

"Nice work, Olivia." Walter teased, fishing a handkerchief out of his vest pocket and wiping her face. "Your screams of terror were the key to victory."

"Indeed they were." Alucard pinched her cheek with that arrogant smile of his. "Bravo, Little Rabbit. We couldn't have done it without you.

The lid propelled off the pot with such ferocity that it shattered against the wall upon impact.

"SHUT UP." Olivia hissed, stringing up another arrow and aiming it at Alucard's face. "BOTH OF YOU WILL BE JOINING BASKERVILLE SHORTLY! HOW DARE YOU USE YOUR OWN COMMRADE AS BAIT!"

"Ah, but you did help by distracting it, so we are congratulating you, Little Rabbit." Alucard easily dodged the venomous arrow and crushed the remains of Bakerville's uvula under his heel. "Such a shame though. I was hoping for more of a fight."

"Don't make it sound like you killed it yourself, Alucard." Walter flexed his fingers with a scoff. "My wires carried this entire mission."

"I'm going to shoot the both of you and have the entire cabin to myself on the ride home!"

"Really now?" Walter cracked his knuckles with an intrigued laugh. "I'd love to see you tr-!"

He was interrupted by a squishing sound, and the three of them whirled around to find the remains of Baskerville crawling back together.

"A regenerator?!" The two kids exclaimed while Alucard just cackled and placed a new magazine in his gun.

"Now this is more like it!"

Within seconds, Baskerville reformed, larger than ever.

And it brought something else with it.

Five men in hunting uniforms surrounded them, their rifles aimed at the trio's heads.

"I was right." Olivia gulped, as the three of them huddled closer together. "The hunters are his familiars."

"Fascinating!" Alucard was too happy for his own good. "Baskerville, you and I have something in common!" He then peered down at Walter and Olivia. "I'll leave the small fry to you two."

Then with a cheeky grin and a two finger salute, he leapt over the circle of familiars and charged towards Baskerville who readily greeted him with an ear splitting howl.

"Son of a-!" Walter shook his fist. "Don't take all the glory for yourself, 'Father'!"

"Focus, Walter!" Olivia moved so they were back-to-back. "We need to defeat them first! If we do, it will help to get rid of Baskerville once and for all!"

"Tsk! Fine!" Walter bit down and pulled wires out of his gloves. "Come fight us then, you bastards!"

"May your souls finally know peace." Olivia closed her eyes in prayer before pulling her bowstring back. "Rejoice now, you poor souls. We have come to wake you from your nightmare."

"Let's address the business at hand." Alucard hummed, tapping the side of the revolver's barrel against his temple. "I have orders to eliminate you AND orders to make sure those pesky familiars of yours don't kill them."

He pointed to the left where Walter had crafted a shield to protect himself and Olivia from the rainstorm of bullets the 'hunters' were firing upon them.

"Like any dog, I dislike it when my master scolds me; you probably understand that, one mutt to another." Baskerville growled as Alucard drew closer. "So it's with great displeasure that I must end this battle quickly. But, if you continue to give me some much needed entertainment, I'll reward you with a priceless gift. Interested?"

Baskerville biting off his arm was its answer.

"Very well!" Alucard regrew his arm and bowed slightly, his smile taking up his entire face. "Show me what you got then, Black Hound of Baskerville!"

"Do they have an endless amount of ammo?!" Olivia groaned as bullet after bullet ricocheted off Walter's wire shield. "Does becoming a familiar give you that ability?!"

"Don't give them that much credit. These idiots are only firing in one direction."

"What?" Olivia gazed around and realized the 'hunters' were only firing ahead with blank expressions. If one of them was fast enough, they could slay the familiars before their slow reflexes could catch up. "W-Walter! You're a genius!"

"What?"

"Quickly, throw me into the air!"

"What?! Are you ordering me to lower the shield so I can toss your fat ass into the air?!"

"It will just be for a moment! Once I'm airborne, you can put the shield back up while I take care of them!" Olivia grasped his wrist and looked him dead in the eye. "Do you trust me?"

Walter stared back at her anxious expression and groaned loudly.

"Unfortunately, I do." The shield weakened as his wires wrapped around her waist. "Make every shot count."

And with that, Walter dropped the shield and flung Olivia up into the air.

Fast as lighting, Olivia spun around, shooting arrow after arrow into the familiars' hearts, all of them burning to ashes within seconds.

'Your souls are now free.' Olivia sighed, gravity taking its hold on her. 'May the afterlife treat you well'.

Walter's arms greeted her on her return back to Earth, but since Olivia was much taller and heavier than he, both of them crumbled to the ground.

"I didn't expect you to try and catch me." Olivia laughed, giving Walter a kiss on the cheek in gratitude. "I appreciate it."

"Oh shut up, fat ass." Walter hissed, his fingers ghosting over the cheek she had kissed. "Anyways, let's go help Alucard now."

Olivia turned around to find Alucard still at it with Baskerville, looking like he was playing with it rather than fighting it.

Both monsters were drenched in blood, a mixture of their own and their opponent's, yet neither showed any signs of exhaustion or weakness and kept attacking the other.

"C'mon," Olivia hoisted Walter to his feet and grabbed her bow. "We need to—!"

A sudden movement from the corner of her eye caught her attention and Olivia squinted hard to see the black ash from the 'hunters' slithering towards the battle at a rapid pace.

"What the hell is that?" She mumbled, glancing from the ash to the distracted Alucard and back. Then, when the black ash became like slime and a familiar pair of jaws emerged from the sludge, Olivia felt her heart drop to her feet as she realized what was about to happen.

"ALUCARD!" She bellowed, sprinting across the plain with Walter on her heels. "LOOK OUT!"

But her warning came too late as Baskerville's doppelganger leapt out from the slime and bit down on Alucard's torso, ripping it off from his waist while the original Baskerville devoured what remained of him.

"Shit!" Walter grimaced as Olivia felt the world around her collapse, her screams clogged in her throat.

'No….Not again…..No…..Not….again…..No….No…..NO!'

"NO!" Her wails reverberated across the moorland as she charged forward, her vision turning red as her sights locked onto Baskerville. "GIVE HIM BACK, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

"Olivia!" Walter attempted to restrain her but she easily sidestepped him, seeing nothing but her target. "Alucard is immortal, Olivia! He can regenerate himself!"

But Olivia couldn't hear him and let out another scream, this time drawing Baskerville's attention.

"YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY FAMILY FROM ME AGAIN!" She strung up a pair of arrows and aimed as Baskerville bounded towards her, detecting fresh meat.

Once it was in range, she fired and the arrows plunged into Baskerville's eye sockets, its howls of agony not fazing her in the slightest.

"SHUT UP!" Olivia demanded, aiming at its chest now. "COME AND FIGHT ME, YOU PATHETIC PIECE OF SHIT!"

Even though it was blinded, Baskerville could still smell Olivia and furiously lunged forward when there was a sudden flash of silver and its legs were sliced to bits.

"Stay out of this, Walter!" Olivia snarled, glaring at the boy next to her. "That monster devoured Alucard and I am not leaving here until I reclaim his remains from that thing's stomach."

"Listen to me already, you stupid girl!" Walter grasped her by the shoulders and roughly shook her. "Alucard is a fucking vampire! He can regenerate himself, you twit!"

It was like a bubble had popped as the light gradually returned to Olivia's eyes and her rigid form became limp.

"Wh-What?" She whimpered, tears running down her cheeks. "He's alive? Alucard is….alive?"

"Yes!" Walter snapped, shaking her once more. "The bastard just enjoys taking his time! But that is not important right now! Now is our chance to kill that thing before its limbs grow back!"

Suddenly Baskerville let out a piercing howl that nearly made their ears bleed and sent them stumbling back into the dirt.

"What the hell is going on?!"

"I don't know! It's like—Look!" Olivia pointed to a bulge jutting from Baskerville's abdomen. "What is that?!"

"….Alucard." Walter rolled his eyes.

"Alucard?!"

"Yes," He sighed, watching the bulge grow larger as Baskerville's howls increased in pitch. "He has finally decided to regenerate."

Alucard stood in the middle of a field, much like the one the battle was currently taking place in.

But the trees were shorter and the majority of the terrain was left untouched by human hands.

'This is the moorland ten years ago.' He noted, scanning the horizon for something in particular.

Then, he saw it.

A dog—a mix of bloodhound and mastiff—lay in the grass, blood pooling around him from a gunshot in the neck.

He whimpered as Alucard drew closer, his eyes searching for his master to come rescue him.

The same master that shot and left him for dead.

"Your master grew tired of taking care of you and left you to rot in the moorlands like garbage." Alucard stated, staring down at the dying creature with a blank expression.

Blood gurgled from the dog's mouth as he let out another pitiful whimper.

"Where we are standing now, there will be a forest—a forest where a group of hunters will meet their demise in ten years' time." Alucard then bent down to study the dog more thoroughly. "You wanted to see your master again, didn't you? That is why you drank the Devil's blood and waited for his return. And when he did, you got your revenge after so long. But, what waits for you now?" Alucard pushed his fingers against the gunshot wound, drawing more blood out. "Will you allow The Angel of Death and the Little Rabbit to send you to Hell, or will you accept the reward I offer you? The choice is yours, Baskerville."

The mortal Baskerville whined as Alucard awaited his answer. Then, mustering up all of his strength, he lifted his head up and licked the back of Alucard's glove.

"Excellent choice, Baskerville." Alucard smirked, watching the light fade from his eyes. "I look forward to our future together."

Then he dug his fingers into the wound and ripped out the bullet, crushing the strap of metal in his hand.

"Let's go now, my pet, we have people expecting us."

Seconds later, black tendrils erupted from the bulge and crawled across Baskerville's body.

The tendrils wrapped around the beast, wiggling into every crack and crevice, until they covered Baskerville completely, the sounds of bones cracking and organs squishing mixing in with Baskerville's cries.

Olivia felt bile rise in her throat but she couldn't look away from the horrifying spectacle.

'Alucard…?'

Suddenly, a pair of gloved hands pressed against her ears and her face was shoved against a bloodied vest, shielding her from both the sight and sound of the gruesome display.

"Tsk." Walter's voice rumbled against his chest. "Alucard, you theatrical piece of shit. Just eat it and be done with it."

'W…What? He…He is eating it?'

Eventually, the ground stop shaking and Walter released his grip on her.

Her heart racing, Olivia slowly turned around and found Alucard standing where Baskerville once was, the black tendrils jutting from the insides of his coat. He now had long hair that whipped around him like sentient appendages and properly displayed the maniacal smile engulfing his angular face. The sigils on his gloves were crimson red and blood dribbled down his chin, staining his fangs and neck.

"Ah, what fun!" Alucard laughed, licking the excess blood off his lips. "It's been ages since something has been able to rip me in half."

"So you ate it?" Walter's expression, unlike Olivia's, was one of indifference. "You knew it was planning a sneak attack, so why didn't you kill it in the first place?"

"I did say I would reward him if he provided me with some much needed entertainment." He answered calmly, strutting over to them.

"Y-You're alive…" Olivia breathed out, a relived smile breaking out on her face. "But Baskerville ate you! I watched it devour you!"

"Didn't I tell you this before, Little Rabbit?" He cupped her face in his hand, wiping away her tears with his thumb. "I am nothing like the other vermin infesting the planet. Only a man could defeat a monster like me. And only a man could hope to."

Olivia whimpered when one of his tendrils—the same one that ripped Baskerville's tongue out—curled around her wrist and lifted her up to her trembling feet.

"Quite the show you put on, Little Rabbit, blinding Baskerville and challenging him without an ounce of fear in your eyes." His hand moved to brush her bangs out of her eyes. "It was exhilarating to finally see you on the battlefield. And the fact that you did it for me is truly an honor."

Normally, Olivia would be over the moon to hear Alucard's approval but, after watching him devour a hellhound with such vigor and how demonic he currently appeared, Olivia finally began to understand what everyone was trying to tell her.

"You…really are a monster, aren't you?"

"You are finally realizing that after all these years?" He chuckled before leaning forward so they were at eye level. "Yes, Little Rabbit, I am a horrible, disgusting monster. Does that change your opinion of me?"

Olivia couldn't answer him, his crimson eyes making her feel like she was trapped in hell fire and the small twinge of fear she had of her guardian grew substantially.

"I-."

Walter suddenly positioned himself between them, shoving Alucard's face away with an icy glare.

"Leave her alone, Alucard. The mission is complete so let's return to Christow before the sun rises."

Alucard didn't respond at first, amused by Walter's interference and Olivia's petrified expression.

'Human beings never cease to amaze me.'

With a chuckle, Alucard returned to his normal state, his glasses and hat back on his head.

"Yes, what a fitting way to end a perfect night." He bent down slightly for Walter to climb onto his back before directing his attention towards Olivia.

'I've told you since the beginning that I'm a monster, Olivia. That is all I will ever be. Yet even so,' His voice echoed in her head as he held a hand out to her, 'do you still think of me as your family?'

Olivia stared at his outstretched hand, the blood now gone but the smell lingering.

This man—no this vampire—was capable of horrifying things, and probably had done worse things prior to her arrival.

And yet, Olivia couldn't deny she was relieved to see him standing in front of her after believing him to be dead.

Regardless of what he had just shown her.

'Yes,' She nodded, placing her hand in his. 'I do.'

Alucard leered down at her for a moment, analyzing the tiny smile on her face, before laughing and hoisting her into his arms.

'You really are a stupid little rabbit' were his final thoughts before lifting off the ground and zipping across the sky.

Despite her declaration, Olivia found it difficult to cling onto Alucard like she usually did and as the wind swirled around her, she began to wonder about her 'dear' guardian and who he was before Hellsing.

'Who are you really, Alucard?' She studied his face as knots formed in her chest. 'How did you become like this? What are you really capable of?'

Her questions were never answered but she didn't expect him to.

'I have to find out for myself, right?' She sighed, resting her head against his shoulder and watching as the sun rose over the horizon. 'So be it then.'

When they returned to headquarters, she would get right to work and discover Alucard's true colors.

But, just for this moment, Olivia was happy to feel him solid beneath her hands and she turned to look at Walter, who met her tired eyes with his own.

'Mission Accomplished' she mouthed out, reaching out to intertwine their fingers with a tender smile. 'It was an honor to fight alongside you, Angel of Death.'

Walter simply nodded and gave her hand a gentle squeeze.

'Same to you, White Rabbit of Hellsing.'

And when Alucard landed in front of their cottage, he discovered the two of them had fallen asleep, drooling on his coat and their hands still intertwined.

"What lazy children the both of you are." Alucard chuckled, stepping into the one room cottage. "Who will carry my luggage now?"

But, instead of dropping them like he usually did, Alucard placed them on the bed in the corner of the room and took a seat in the armchair, watching the rising sun slowly peek through the drapes.

An hour later, Mary and Elizabeth knocked on the door and entered to find their guests' luggage neatly placed by the door and Alucard back in his civilian disguise.

"Leaving already, Mr. Brenner?" Mary asked, eyeing the 'mysterious' box once again while Elizabeth stared at the slumbering children, hoping that wasn't dried blood on their clothes. "I hope the rumors about the hellhound didn't scare you away."

"Oh I wouldn't worry about Baskerville anymore. He has moved onto a better place." Alucard smiled eerily, rising from his seat. "Now, take our luggage to the train station. Our train should be arriving momentarily."

"E-Ex-Excuse me?!" Elizabeth stuttered, gesturing to her and her wife's frail arms before gesturing to the pile of luggage. "Forgive me, Mr. Brenner. But you are obviously stronger than the both of us! Can't you carry it?"

"But I am already carrying something." He strutted over to the bed and scooped up Walter and Olivia, adjusting them so they lay comfortably in his arms. "Now hurry up. We need to be home as soon as possible."

And with a 'grateful' smile, Alucard waltzed out of the cottage, leaving the two women fumbling to carry the heavy luggage.

"Oh," Alucard poked his head back around the doorframe. "And if you put a dent in my luggage, I will be most displeased."

A shiver ran down Mary and Elizabeth's spines at the veiled threat.

"Mary?"

"Yes, love?"

"Never rent to city folk ever again. I don't think my heart can take it."

"Agreed, my love. Agreed."

A/N: This chapter was originally called "Olivia is freaking pissed" and "Olivia reevaluates her choices about her new family". Lol

And Olivia was the original frisbee.

The type of dog Baskerville is based on is actually the type of dog from the novel, and I wanted to do some type of backstory for why Baskerville became a demon. And as for Alucard, he is a monster but he is not totally heartless. He does care for the Hellsing group, especially Arthur and Integra since they are his masters but he does have some sort of affection for all of them.

Anways, here is some fun stuff now! On my profile page, I posted the two songs that inspired Olivia's creation. Of course, the beta Olivia was different but I still think the songs ring true for the current Olivia, more so when she is older though. The lyrics are in the video's description if you want to give them a listen!

And, just for fun, do you guys have a favorite Hellsing couple? It is not a romantic manga but people still have their ships. But, I think we all know Alucard/The Queen is the ultimate ship. Lol! Just kidding, it is actually Integra/Seras. Hahaha! If you have anything, let me know!

Anyways, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter! Please leave a review and see you in the next one! :D
