Chapter 1
The night was cold, the full moon could be seen outside of a big picture window of a manor in London. A girl with long silver/blonde hair was standing at the window looking out at the moon, a lit cigar in her mouth. She sighed softly and fixed her glasses before she turned away from the window to sit at a large desk.
This woman was Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, the esteemed leader of the Hellsing Organization. The young Hellsing was at the moment, trying to get away from the thought of paperwork. Just then the telephone on her desk started to ring. She looked at it tilting her head before reaching over and picked up the phone from the receiver. "Yes?...What? A vampire attack? Where?" The person on the phone with the Hellsing leader sounded frantic. She quickly took out a blank piece of paper and grabbed a pen, beginning to jot down some notes. "Right, we're on it. Just calm down and get the area blocked off. The Hellsing Organization will deal with this tonight." She then hung up the phone and looked at her notes.
"Sir Integra, is something the matter?" Said an old British gentleman. This man was Walter C Dollneaz, the Hellsing Family butler and former Vampire Hunter to the Organization. He had just entered the room with Integras nightly cup of tea.
Integra looked up from her paperwork, hearing her Butler ask her what was wrong. She sighed and rubbed her forehead looking back down at the papers scattering her desk. "Another Rogue Vampire is loose in downtown London, pub district." Walter blinked as he set the tea tray down and poured her a cup of tea. "Shall I alert Alucard right away, Ma'am?" the old yet spry butler asked.
"Yes, tell him immediately, I want it dealt with as soon as humanly possible. Or in this case, as quickly as possible as it can be for a Vampire." She said sighing. Walter placed the tea cup in front of Integra and bowed his head. "Right away Sir Integra. Enjoy your tea and I will make sure Alucard knows to get ready." Walter then slowly walked out of the room. Integra sighed and looked down at her tea and frowned. "This vampire may be a problem for him though, seeing as what the Vicar said she was a strong one with the strength of a no-life King. I'm afraid this vampire is a true vampire, and one of the ancients." She said to herself before she grabbed the teacups handle and raised it to her lips, taking a small sip.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was late at night, the full moon was seen hanging brightly in the sky. The only thing darkened by the night were the shadows cast by the dark trees of the Romanian Black Forest. A castle could be seen, sitting high on a mountain being bathed by the moonlight. Inside a girl was walking through the halls of the dark castle wearing a long flowing black dress looking around a small smirk on her lips. Her long raven locks flowing behind her as she walked. She was using her right hand to brush away stray cobwebs that hung from the walls and ceiling.
"Caterina my dear, why are you up so early. The other brides haven't even awoken just yet." Said The Count of the Castle as he came out of the shadows. He looked young, only in his mid to late 20s. His long midnight black hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail with a few strands hanging in his face. He was wearing just a white shirt with black pants, his red cravat tied around his neck loosely.
The one named Caterina turned to him and smiled bowing her head. "My lord, I'm afraid I could not sleep well, so I decided to walk among the castle hallways alone to think peacefully for once. My sisters can be so loud sometimes that it is hard for one to think clearly." She said in a soft Romanian accent. The vampiress raised her head slowly to look at her lord. The Count chuckled and nodded before beckoning her to come to him, which she did slowly, stopping just a foot away from him. She looked up into his beautiful red hues and purred softly as he gently ran a hand over her soft pale cheek.
"That they can be, my darling Caterina. Come, I want to show you something." He said softly before turning and walking down the hallway to a door with a lit candelabra one either side of it. The young vampire followed her lord slowly to the door. The door leading into this room was actually a door her and the other 3 could not go into unless their master let them, it was forbidden. As the Count slowly opened the door it creaked on its ancient hinges and he allowed her entry first, which she slowly walked in.
This room was the Counts chambers, hence the reason the Brides were not allowed entry without him. The Elder Vampire then closed the door behind him as he walked in after her and walked to a long dresser. "Go ahead and sit Caterina, make yourself comfortable." He said smirking a fanged smirk at her. She nodded and sat down on a long extravagant blood red Victorian couch. The Count picked up a small black box and then turned and walked over to the couch, standing before her. She looked up at her beloved and sighed softly, her eyes slightly shining from the candlelight in the room. "What did you want to show me, my beloved Count?" He sat down beside her and her eyes followed him. The master smirked and gently pulled her hair away from her neck and shoulders before he came closer. He lowered his head to her neck, breathing in her scent as he brushed his nose against her succulent skin, closing his eyes.
Caterina purred softly closing her eyes, feeling her masters' hand running through her hair before she felt his fingers leave her raven locks and run down her arm. "Caterina, you still smell just as wonderful as the night I turned you. Your blood tasted so sweet that night. I have a feeling it still tastes just as sweet. I can't ever lose you or I'm afraid I would lose myself." He said softly in her ear.
The vampiress groaned softly as her masters' words weakened her, his soft sensual voice always did things to her. "But my Lord, what about my sisters? Don't you love them? Surely they must mean more to you than I. I am only your newest Bride."
"They mean nothing to me, they squabble and argue like harpies in their nest over their food." He growled in her ear. "You, my precious ruby jewel, my Caterina, you mean everything to me. You are the strongest of them all. You are the only one who has kept your head. Only you are worthy of my true affection. Only you have the qualities to be my true mate. The others are nothing but servants in my eyes." Said the Count softly before he planted soft kisses down her neck to where her collar bone and neck met. Caterina moaned softly under her beloveds touch leaning her head to the side so he could get better access to her neck. He then bared his fangs and brushed their sharp edges along her pearly white skin, which caused her to gasp softly.
The Count then slowly pulled away and slowly opened the small black box in his hand. Caterina blinked and looked back at him curiously, wondering what made him stop. The Elder Vampire then pulled out a necklace. Hanging from the beaded black chain was a pendant in the shape of a black bat. In the bats stomach was the most amazing blood red ruby that Caterina had ever laid eyes on. The Count smiled. "I got this for you, to show everyone out there that you are mine, it's one of a kind. I give it to you as a sign of my undying love, Caterina." He softly said to her before he placed it around her neck. Caterina smiled and looked at the pendant, her eyes shining. "It's beautiful, my lord. I'll cherish it for an eternity." She turned to him, purring. Her eyes glazed over with passion and love for him. The Count chuckled and brushed a few stray strands of hair from her face. "I will always love you, my precious ruby jewel, my Caterina." He then brought her closer and kissed her lips deeply, his hand running though her hair.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~END FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alucard slowly opened his red eyes to find he was back in his dark lair, still seated in his chair. He frowned and then closed his eyes before he finally spoke. "A long distant memory…Why would I see this now…" He gritted his fanged teeth together in slight anger. He didn't want to be reminded of his painful past, especially of the ones he had lost, especially her. His bride, the one he always called his 'Precious Ruby Jewel'. Why couldn't he remember her name? He had just had the flashback, yet couldn't remember her proper name. It angered him even more.
Just then he was startled out of his fit of quiet rage by someone opening the giant door to his chambers. He looked straight ahead and chuckled. "Walter, I'm assuming you are here because of a new assignment from my Master?" He said, regaining his calm composure. Walter got closer and chuckled. "You sure are a wise one Alucard. Yes it is. Sir Integra wants it complete as quickly as you can. The Vampire is in the downtown slum district in London, I'm assuming creating quite a stir."
Alucard laughed lightly before slowly but smoothly getting to his feet, placing his orange-red goggles on his face. "Then I'm assuming I'll have a bit of fun with this one. It'll be a good thing to clear my head." Walter then blinked as he looked to the side of the room. Something seemed to be moving slowly, slinking along the ground. "Alucard, what's that over there?" Asked Walter pointing in the direction that he saw something move in the shadows.
Alucard turned and withdrew the Casull from his long red overcoat, aimed and fired quickly towards the slinking shadow. There was a loud yowl, like from a large cat before everything got quiet. It seemed the thing that had trespassed in his chambers was now deceased. He looked at the butler before walking towards the shadows. Walter could hear him fumbling with something before he heard Alucard dragging it into the light of a candle that Walter had just lit. The No-Life King placed whatever it was in the light and the two subordinates of Hellsing looked down at it.
"Is that…a Black Panther?" Asked Walter quite a bit shocked. "My word…how did it manage to get into the basement? There are no Panthers in London in the wild."
"That's because this is no ordinary Panther, my friend." Said Alucard as he knelt down to the deceased creature. He raised its head and showed it to the Butler, who in turn became even more shocked his eyes wide. "It has eight eyes! And their-"
"Purple, yes. This was a familiar of a powerful vampire. One that was tracking me apparently." Said Alucard as a smirk appeared on his lips. He knew what this meant, that there was soon to be a battle between two real vampires. Him and the one tracking him down. Walter then shook him from his thoughts of a bloody battle. "Alucard, there seems to be something in the beasts mouth as well." He said pointing down at the creatures' massive head. The Vampire raised the creatures head and looked around its mouth. A piece of yellowed parchment was jutting out of the lips. Alucard pried opened the panthers mouth with a sickening crack as he broke the jaw. He reached in and grabbed it, sliding it out. He set the head down and looked at the parchment. It was an elegantly made envelope, he recognized it from his time in Romania. As he went to turn the envelope over, a loud sizzle started in the room and Walter jumped back.
The Panther erupted in a spark of purple flames quickly, combusting quickly to a dark ash. "Well then, that's certainly something you don't see every day." Said Walter, pretty stunned by what was happening. Alucard didn't even seem phased by the creature being engulfed in flames, he was more interested in the parchment.
The old butler then turned to Alucard, still holding the candle in his hand. "What is that?" He asked curiously. Alucard didn't answer him as he finally turned the envelope around. Sealing it shut was a wax seal with a symbol pressed into it. The candle wax was a deep blood red, the symbol was an elegant dragon and what looked to be a big cat, more so of a panther. "Well that's interesting." Said Alucard. "It's been wax sealed just like the envelopes of olden times. The only thing is I do not recognize this seal. The dragon I do recognize in it though. It mirrors the seal of my family." Said Alucard, intrigued. Who would be using a seal that combined his with another? It was quite confounding.
The No-life king then pulled the seal and opened the envelope. In the fully opened parchment were foreign words, written in Romanian text. Walter blinked, looking over at Alucard. "What does it say? Some declaration of war against you?"
Alucards eyes were wide as he read the script to himself.
"Poți vedea pentru totdeauna? Așa cum arde în ochii mei;
Visezi de iubire fără sfârșit? Pentru a ascunde strigătele dumneavoastră cele mai profunde..."
(ENGLISH - "Can you see forever? As it burns within my eyes;
Do you dream of endless love? To hide your deepest cries...")
"I know this…This is an old Poem I used to know. It's unfinished though." He said handing it to Walter. The old butler looked at the parchment in his hand. "It's written in old Romanian…" He said before looking back at Alucard. "What's the end of the poem then?" Alucard looked away. "I only spoke of it to my brides many many years ago. It was something that we alone would share…" He said softly. He turned back to Walter and spoke the rest of the poem in Romanian. "Nu te holbezi pe geam la miezul nopții? Privind în abis; Pofta ceea ce nu puteți găsi, fiorul de întuneric iubește sărut." (ENGLISH - Do you stare out the midnight window? looking into the abyss;craving what you cannot find, the thrill of dark love's kiss.)
Alucard turned away again, his back to the butler. "Only the brides and myself knew of these words..and all 3 of them have been dead for many years…" Said the elder Vampire before walking towards the door sadly.
Walter sighed before setting the parchment on the small table by the Vampires tall chair. "Well whoever sent this must have struck quite a nerve in you..Whoever they are, I'm sure we will be seeing them quite soon." The Butler said to himself before turning to walk out of the room after Alucard.
In the light as they left the dark chambers, a soft fluttering sound could be heard as a slight breeze coming from nowhere blew the parchment to the ground. Just then the words on the paper shined brightly before disappearing, and new words were put in its place.
"Dragostea mea , eu sunt aici pentru tine
- C -"
(ENGLISH – "My Love, I am here for you")
