After a quick stop to the armory to reload on blessed silver bullets, Alucard set off to the dark slums of downtown London. Integra had already arrived in her car with Walter driving her of course. Alucard had taken a detour just to clear his thoughts before going on assignment. Whoever decided to send him that poem was toying with him, and it struck a chord at his heartstrings. He would most certainly track down whoever sent that and rip their heart out of their chest in front of them, before smashing it.
Alucard stayed in the shadows watching as a certain long main road was blocked off by the humans and Hellsing soldiers. Integra noticing that he had arrived walked over to him. "What took you so long Alucard?" She said expressionless and cold to her servant. She pulled a cigar out of a silver tin in her hand and lit it, taking a long puff on it.
"I thought a nice walk would calm me before I put a bullet through a rogue vampires heart, my master." He gave her his usual smart aleck smirk and Integra rolled her eyes. "Walter told me what happened in your chambers. Do you have any idea who would send something like that to you? Or even send a familiar into the estate like that?"
"No, but whoever it was knows my past. It wasn't a very kind refresher course on what I had lost back in the day either." He turned away as he gritted his fangs in anger. He was still feeling heartache from the terrible reminder. He then stood straight up again and turned back to his master. "We will find who did it though. Don't you worry." He bowed his head and smirked his usual smirk before he started walking into the blocked off street. He needed to kill something to get the edge off. To forget about the death of his Brides.
Integra turned and watched as he walked off and sighed, puffing on the rolled tobacco. "I hope so, Alucard. I can't imagine what you are feeling now. I can sense that you are in pain under that smart ass mask of yours though." She said to herself before she turned and walked towards a tent with Walter. She was having a meeting with the police officials in the area to tell them what exactly was going on.
As Alucard walked down the darkened and empty street, he kept his eyes opened for any sudden movement. He knew that the vampire was close by, he could smell the copper aroma of blood wafting through the air. He slowly pulled out his guns, The Casull and The Jackal, from inside his red overcoat and cocked them before he continued walking. As he got closer to a dark alley he sniffed the air, among the smell of blood, was another scent. This one was familiar to Alucard in some way. He lowered his head slightly and thought hard. Where had he smelled this aroma before?
He then quickly turned around as he started hearing the low groaning and moaning of Ghouls. He readied his guns and started firing at the massive group of ghouls that started to come out of the dark alleyways and doorways. "So, apparently this little vampire has been busy it seems." He said to himself, smirking and chuckling lowly. He had quickly laid waste to the Ghoul group before he walked out into the middle of the street, making sure he had gotten them all.
As he stood there, making sure the Ghouls were all taken care of, he heard a slow clapping coming from the rooftop of a building behind him. "Bravo, you despicable Vampire Hunter. You managed to kill all my current ghouls." Said a female voice with a distinct Romanian accent.
He looked up at the rooftop and spotted a woman, pale as the moon with eyes burning red. Her black hair was long and was flowing in the breeze. She was wearing a semi long black strapless dress that went to her knees with a long black coat. She had the hood of the coat over her head. She jumped down from the roof top and landed elegantly on her feet. Alucard turned fully and looked her up and down. "Oh…so a female Nosferatu. This will be fun….It's been a while since I've done battle with a Vampire whore." He grinned evilly and readied his guns.
He looked her up and down as she stood there, her head held high. He saw the daggers that were sheathed in holders on the womans black high heeled boots. Silver daggers with red rubies set in the hilts. She smirked and tilted her head slightly to the side. "You're different than other Vampire Hunters I've come across. But no matter, I'll still defeat you like all the others. You're getting in my way." She said as she flicked her wrist and a similar dagger to the ones on her boots appeared in her left hand from the darkness. Its red ruby shimmering in the lamplight on the street. "And you're killing innocent humans and creating a ghoul army. My master doesn't like that very much." He said smirking aiming the Casull straight at her.
The vampire laughed. "Your 'master'? That seems pretty intense. Let me guess, you're just a part of another Organization that hunts and kills evil supernatural beings like myself? This won't be any different from the others I'm expecting. Please…tell me what Organization you're a part of before I kill you. I bet its not as despicable as the Iscariots."
Alucard laughed. "So you came across them I see. Well This Organization is very different compared to them. The Hellsing Organization is more well-rounded and organized than those religious clowns." The womans left eye twitched before she smirked evilly.
"I've come to the right place then." She muttered before she laughed evilly, her red eyes glowing brightly. "This fight will be your undoing! Dog of Hellsing!" She then started running towards Alucard, who in turn fired round after round at her, the grin never leaving his face.
The Vampire dodged nearly every single bullet that came at her except one that hit her square in the right shoulder. She snarled in pain before aiming her dagger at Alucards face. He sidestepped her quickly and stopped before raising a hand to his cheek. The girl had actually cut him, a drop of blood oozing from the wound. "Wow….you actually managed to cut me." He said surprised. She had stopped her pursuit panting and wincing as the holy bullet smoked from her wounded shoulder. "Blessed bullets…I should have known." She said chuckling before glancing back at him.
"I must commend you on your excellent shot. You're the first hunter that's ever been able to hit me." She said before she stood up straight. "You aren't human, are you…." She lowered her head, grinning. "I can smell it…you're a true nosferatu. One of ancient blood." She laughed. "This is truly different. A plaything of the humans….You won't stop me from destroying the one who destroyed my undead life. Took my sisters from me…and my mate." She then glared at him before frowning, gritting her fangs together angrily.
Alucard blinked. "So you know of Hellsing then." He laughed. "You won't be able to get to my master, not while I'm around. You must have met the elder Hellsing then."
"He destroyed my home, my loved ones….and carried my mate away a century ago! And I've been traveling for decades to exact my revenge!" She yelled out, her grin now completely gone. "I'm here to destroy the Hellsing bloodline….before that wretched family destroys another innocent Nosferatus life!" She yelled before she manifested a long pole roughly around 6 feet in length. The girl waved it around quickly and stopped as a blood red scythe blade slid out of the top of the pole. Alucard growled at her. For some odd reason this tale she was telling sounded oddly familiar. Everything about this woman seemed familiar to him, her scent, her hair, her eyes. Even her bloodthirsty attitude struck him as familiar.
"Your travels end now, harlot!" He yelled before firing four more rounds at her. She spun the scythe quickly in front of her, the bullets hitting the blood red blade of the scythe and the pole itself bouncing back in random directions. She then rushed at him before laughing. "And this is the night you die!" She slashed at the No-life Kings head. Alucard blocked it with the Jackal and she tried to push the bladed pole down growling as he held her at bay, grunting from the strength being pushed down on him, the blade inching slowly closer to him. As he struggled with her, his wide brimmed red hat fell off, letting loose his black hair and she growled and pushed even more to no avail.
Alucard glanced at her as he saw something shining around her neck in the sparks of metal against metal. That's when he gasped, a pendant was hanging around her neck. A black bat with a gorgeous red ruby centered in the middle of the bats stomach. He then growled and finally pushed her up and off of him. He then aimed both guns at her. She backed up and chuckled. Alucard was more interested in the pendant around the female vampires' neck. The flashback he had of his past life was flying through his head at rapid pace. She growled as he walked closer to her. "Where did you get that pendant you Vampire whore…." He said growling dangerously.
The woman blinked and looked down, placing her hand on the bat around her neck. "My mate gave this to me centuries ago, he said that I was his precious ruby jewel. And that he would always love me." She hissed at him. "Van Hellsing took him from our castle one night centuries ago…I must find him! He was everything to me!" Said the Woman as she winced slightly in pain from the gunshot to her shoulder.
The vampiress slowly backed up and drew a dagger with her other hand weakly while she still held onto her scythe. She then blinked as she hit a wall with her back. She had nowhere to go now. She glared at Alucard baring her fangs. Alucard stopped as he stood only a foot away from her and he glared at her, still aiming the Casull and Jackal at her heart and head. "Tell me your name, harlot…" He said glaring at her, growling softly.
The woman was wearing the pendant he had given his favorite bride, the one he was planning on marrying before Van Hellsing had stormed the castle. He remembered everything now. Either she had stolen it from the castle in Romania, where the brides Ashes would surely still be….or….
"Tell me your name!" Alucard yelled as he cocked the guns and kept his sights aimed on her. The woman whimpered, finally feeling a tinge of fear in her heart as she looked up at the Hunter. She would be killed tonight, it was certain to her. Blood tears started to well up in her eyes as she couldn't move or even swing her scythe.
"M-My name is…Caterina Fortuna…Countess and Bride of Count Vladimir Dracula." She said with a shaky voice. She glanced up at the Vampire King, staring deeply into his red hues behind the circular red/orange sunglasses. With that statement, the Casull and Jackal fell from Alucards hands. A look of pure shock on the elder vampires face. The woman named Caterina blinked and watched as the guns fell from his hands and fell to the ground with a loud metallic clatter.
Alucard couldn't believe it, no…he wouldn't believe it. Caterina was dead. She had died a century ago along with the other two brides. He growled and ran at the vampiress, who gasped and went to slash at him as he approached her. Alucard quickly batted the scythe and dagger out of her hands with ease and pinned her to the brick wall roughly behind her, his fangs bared and his eyes glowing angrily.
"Caterina Fortuna died years ago! Van Hellsing destroyed her along with the other brides! He told me this himself before he ran me through with a stake and made me his slave!" Said Alucard painfully and with regret in his dark voice. Caterina gulped and shook as she stared into his eyes, her eyes widened. That was how her beloved mate was taken away from her, how could he know that?!
Alucard then grabbed her by her hair and pulled her head to the side roughly. Caterina grunted as she felt him press his other hand against the wound in her shoulder from his bullet, keeping her pinned to the wall. She growled lowly and winced and he tugged at her hair again to make her quiet. "Silence…I'm done talking. Caterina is dead, I have to deal with that for the rest of my eternal life. I loved her with all my undead heart and here some harlot is wearing her wedding gift! You'll be nothing but a memory in a moment…after I drink all of the blood from your veins!" Caterina whimpered and Alucard opened his mouth wide as he roughly bit down on the space between her neck and shoulder.
Caterina closed her eyes tightly in pain and snarled, baring her own fangs as blood tears of pain and remorse trailed down her cheeks. Alucard fed on her blood roughly, making it as painful as possible for the vampiress. But as he drank from her, he sampled her memories. He could see her, sitting at an ornate table from the Middle East, wearing black and red robes and smoking from an ornate hookah with a round of male and female vampires. Alucard could see that they were vampires just by the redness of their eyes and the paleness of their skin. The woman was gently caressing the ruby in the bat pendant as she talked, even though Alucard couldn't make out what they were saying.
The memories then flashed to another time, One of her roaming the dark streets of Paris with another vampire female. In this photo they were talking, but as the girl talked she did what she was doing it the necklace in the last memory, gently rubbing her thumb against the ruby. Like it meant something special to her. Alucard growled as he bit roughly down harder on her skin, her blood now running down her shoulder and chest, over the necklace. Caterina cried out in pain, closing her eyes tightly.
The memories then…got weird. Alucard saw his old castle, Castle Dracula. But it was an older time. He saw her, sitting at a chair in the old library, candles lit everywhere for light. She was reading an old text wearing a long red gown. The bat pendant around her neck. His eyes widened as he saw an older him enter in through a nearby wall and approach her from behind. She slowly put the book down turning to him and the older him smiled at her before he knelt down and brushed a strand of hair away from her face. He then reached over to a table and took a singular rose from a vase and broke the flower bud away from the stem. The girl smiled happily at him and he gently placed the flower in her hair to pin back her hair for her. Alucard saw the girls eyes light up and glow dimly with longing and he slowly got to his feet after he gently kissed her forehead.
Alucard then quickly pulled away from the Vampire females neck, pulling away from her entirely. She groaned weakly from the blood loss and fell to her knees, her head lowered. The No-Life King didn't know what to say, the memories he had just witnessed from this girl had said it all. She was telling the truth, Caterina Fortuna had not died from a stake to the heart like the other 2 brides. She was standing before him.
Alucard looked down at her in shock. Caterina was kneeling there, leaning against the wall for support. Tears were still flowing down her cheeks. He then slowly knelt down to one knee and reached out to her and gently raised her head to look up at him. He slowly took off his sunglasses and stared down at her with his glowing red eyes, but his eyes held no anger or hate. They held a spark of love and sadness. "My Caterina….My ruby jewel of the night…your Count is here…"
Caterina whimpered and grunted softly at his words. She then slowly closed her eyes and passed out from the great amount of blood loss. Her head leaning back against the wall of the brick building behind her. Alucard sighed softly and gently picked her up bridal style in his arms and stood up slowly, her head resting against his shoulder. He turned then and slowly began to walk towards a dark alley. "I'm taking you home, my dear. You have been through enough these past many years searching for me. But now, your search has ended and we can be together once more….as King and Queen of the night. And no one will take me away from you again, my precious ruby jewel…" He said as he disappeared with her into the darkness.
