As they started to walk towards the mansion Seras heard a familiar voice. Alexander Anderson? He had just screamed an insult at her Master. After what Seras had seen of Alucard or was it Dracula now, Anderson must be even crazier then anyone could know. Seras, Integral, and Pip all turned to look at the Paladin. She was still in shock over the fact that he had helped her Master kill Maxwell. So much had changed and yet some thing had never changed.
Alucard paused and glared at the crazy priest. How dare he address me like that? The vampire grinned, the Catholic bastard wanted to fight. He walked away from Integral and let Anderson strike the first blow. The two men, the two monsters fought each other hard with their fists � neither one using their full power.
Integral sighed, frustrated by their childish behavior. All that has happened and those idiots are fighting like adolescent boys. She rubbed her temples to ease the mounting pain in her head. �Alucard! Father Anderson!� Integral Hellsing screamed at the top of her lungs. She needed to put an end to it before it got out of hand.
The two men paused their fight immediately to look at her. She glared back at them. They moved away from each other � both obeying her command immediately.
�Yes, Master?� Alucard asked.
�Listen - Alucard, Father Anderson, now is not the time for your fight. Will you look around you? God only knows what kind of shape the mansion is in. There may be more vampires and Millenium soldiers lurking around. Can you two please act like grown men and fight?� Integral did not know who she was madder at, Alucard or Father Anderson.
�Aye. Please forgive me, Sir Hellsing. I got carried away with my emotions.� Father Anderson apologized. He glared at Alucard letting him know that they would finish this fight someday.
�As you wish, Master.� Alucard said returning to Integral�s side.
Integral glanced at the Priest. She wondered what they should do with him. Integra doubted he would be welcomed back at Section XIII. And he had saved her life. Then there was the fact he had helped murder Maxwell. Integral Hellsing didn�t feel like she had a choice. She owed a debt to the Priest. It was a matter of honor to repay it.
The Hellsing leader stopped and looked back at Anderson. �Father Anderson what are your plans?� She asked. The eyes of everyone were one Integral.
�I don�t know, Sir Hellsing. I can�t go back to Rome � perhaps I will return to Scotland. The Church does not treat traitors kindly.�
�You are welcome to come with us --- back to Hellsing.� The comment hung in the air for several seconds. The mouths of her vampires dropped opened and their crimson eyes revealed their shock. Alucard looked even angrier then he was surprised.
Anderson�s mouth dropped open as well. �Back to Hellsing with you and ---�
�And my demons. Yes, Father.� Integral replied.
Anderson considered Integral�s proposal. He really had nowhere else to go. Perhaps, he would return with her and fight the demons for Hellsing. What else could he do? The orphanage was off-limits. Those children were all he had ever really cared for. They were lost to him now. �Tell me, Sir Integral, what would my circumstances be like if I returned with you?� He asked her.
Integral grinned. She really did want him to work for her. With no living army, she needed all the help she could get. �Well, you could work for me as you did for the Vatican � killing vampires. You are welcome to stay at the mansion. We have quite a few guest rooms. You will be paid for your work once Hellsing was back on its feet. One last thing, Father, you would swear your allegiance to me. I have even less tolerance for traitors then your former employer.�
�I accept your offer, Sir Hellsing.� He said as he started to walk on the other side of Integral not quite believing what was happening. i Why does it feel like I�m selling my soul to the devil? /i The priest wondered.
They looked quite a strange sight walking down the dark London street: the Vampire, Knight, and Priest. A satisfied, smug smile adorned Integral�s face and the two men looked ready to kill each other at the drop of a hat. Seras and Pip walked behind the bizarre trio and following them was Alucard�s undead army. Walter, bound in chains with just enough silver content to make it painful for him to move, was guarded by a Turkish general. If someone were to arrive in London, they would believe it was hell they had arrived at instead.
Seras was beginning to think they were in hell. She did not fear them, but Alucard�s army gave her the creeps - as did both Pip and Walter. She felt a similar darkness around both of the vampires that was not present in Alucard. His darkness was different somehow. And now Father Anderson was joining them? Seras did not think that things could get any stranger. Until they saw what Millenium had done to their home.
What in the blood hell? Seras thought as Integral opened the front door. The stench of death overpowered her. The floor was covered with half eaten decomposing bodies. She seriously thought she was going to get sick. She looked at her companions and their lone prisoners� reaction. Interesting, she thought and yet so bloody typical.
Alucard�s grin covered his face. Seras could sense her Master�s delight in the awful aroma of death. Pip and Walter were both grinning insanely as their eyes took in all of the death. Odd, she thought, I am still seeing similarities between those two. And Integral wore that damn smug smirk � like it was exactly what she expected. The only one that looked like she felt was Father Anderson. A look of disgust covered his face. He looked like he was going to throw up too.
�Anderson, can you take Walter down to the basement? Put him in Alucard�s old cell � it is the most secure.� She ordered Anderson and looked at Seras and Pip. �You two can go with him. I don�t trust him at all.� Integral considered what she said � it had sounded like she was referring to Anderson. She touched his shoulder lightly. �Not you, Father. I was referring to Walter.�
The priest did not back away from her touch. He merely nodded and walked towards Walter. �Let�s go � ye demon.� He commented. Then he, Seras, and Pip descended down the stairs to the basement.
Integral turned to Alucard. �Alucard, why don�t you have your men get rid of this trash? I�m sure they would appreciate a meal. I�ll be in my office.� Integral walked to her office and was relieved to find it completely empty. She had locked it before leaving. She sat at her desk and turned on the stereo. She picked a CD by the London Orchestra performing Beethoven and Bach and turned up the volume as high as it would go. She didn�t usually like loud music but it was needed to drown out the sounds of the undead having their first meal. They were quite noisy but at least they would get rid of that awful stench.
--------------------
Seras and Pip were the only ones who talked on the way down to the basement. Walter watched Seras closely as she babbled on with Pip. Anderson was uncharacteristically quiet, watching their newly acquired prisoner. Pip looked at the priest hungrily � it had been a few hours since he had drank blood.
�Draculina � will you please tell your boyfriend to stop looking at me like I�m dinner! I am serving Hellsing now, the same as you.� Anderson spoke to her alone.
Seras glanced at Pip � not believing a word that the priest had said. damn if he isn�t looking at Anderson like he is his next meal. Must be his appetite. Pip was staring at Anderson and licking his lips. �Pip! Stop looking at Anderson that way. He is our coworker now.� Seras reprimanded him.
Pip looked down first and then over at Walter. They both exchanged a knowing glance. �I�m sorry, Seras. It is just that I�m not used to this�strange hunger. It is so intense.� Pip apologized � it was apparent to everyone but Seras that his words did not mean anything at all.
She smiled. �Okay � just behave yourself. Sometimes I think it was easier when your soul was inside of me.� The vampire commented.
They finally reached Alucard�s old cell. Seras Victoria unlocked the door. She looked over at Walter guiltily. He had been so nice to her when she first arrived at Hellsing and now she was locking him up. Was this how she repaid his kindness? �Okay Walter, this is where you�ll be at least until Sir Integral figures out how to remove the locks Millenium placed on you.�
Walter walked towards the door. He wasn�t going to fight now. He paused in front of Seras Victoria while the other two men watched. He whispered into her ear. �Oh the things I�m going to do to you when I am free. Will the Captain watch? Perhaps he�ll join us. Do remain a virgin so I can drink some of that delicious blood while I�m shagging you. With or without your permission.� The butler slowly moved his hand inside her shirt and ripped it open as he fondled her breast. Seras was so shocked that it took her a few seconds to react. Pip just watched the two of them with a grin on his face.
Anderson was the one who pulled Walter away. �Get your sinful claws off of her, you demon.� He threw Walter in the cell as the butler laughed hysterically. Anderson glared at Pip. Why hadn�t he moved to stop Walter? Aren�t he and the police girl together? And why hadn�t he at least offered her his shirt? The girl�s shirt was torn and her chest exposed and red tears were starting to fill up her eyes. �Here Seras, take my coat and cover yourself up.� He handed her his long coat.
Seras looked up at Anderson, relieved. The vampire wiped her tears away with her arm. She took Anderson�s coat, laughed nervously and put it on. �Thank you, Father Anderson.� She glared at Pip. He was supposed to love her � why hadn�t he offered her his shirt? He hadn�t even tried to stop Walter. No, he had watched with a smile on his face! What in the bloody hell was going on? The three walked back up to see Alucard and Integral. This time it was Seras and Anderson who chatted. Pip was as quiet as a church mouse.
---
When they reached the living room, all were in shock that both the bodies and the smell was gone. The furniture was in disarray but the room had the appearance that it was burglarized or ransacked, not that hundreds of humans had died. Alucard�s minions were no where to be found. Seras was relieved not to have to look at the poor enslaved souls. Alucard may be her Master but at least she had her own mind. The three heard voices coming from Integral�s office.
�I don�t care if they were just following orders! I want any British Catholic who participated in this war hunted down and in prison. Then I want them to die a slow and painful death. People will learn not to toy with Hellsing!� Integral set down the phone and grinned. Alucard stood by her side looking quite like the loyal puppy dog.
�Is there anything I can do, Master? If you can get the names I will take care of them all personally.� Alucard�s purred at his Master. �Hello Seras, Pip. Catholic.� He glared at the priest.
Integral told the trio to have a seat. She thought that sleeping quarters should be the next decision to make. �Seras, I�ll get another coffin for your room for Pip, unless he wants to share yours.�
�Sharing a coffin is not proper every night, Master.� Alucard stated. He looked at Pip in disgust. He was not a real vampire anyhow. Rip had bitten him and she had been merely Millenium�s science project.
Pip looked at Seras and put his hand on her knee and started to slowly move it up her thigh. She smacked it when he tried to put it between her legs. He glanced at Integral. �Umm I don�t mind sharing but I have a feeling that Seras does. Another coffin would be fine, boss. Maybe I can convince her to let me share hers sometimes.�
Seras glared at him. She was still angry as hell about his behavior when Walter had molested her. The priest had defended her honor � not him! Now Alucard was staring at the priest�s coat. It wouldn�t be long before the subject was brought up.
�Seras, why are you wearing Alexander�s coat?� Integral asked just noticing the absence of it on the priest and Seras� new attire.
Anderson spoke first. �It is no big deal. Her shirt got torn transporting the prisoner. I didn�t need my coat anyhow.�
Seras flashed him a grateful smile. �Yes, I�ll go get changed, well that is if my clothes didn�t get destroyed.�
Alucard stared at Seras in disbelief. �Seras Victoria, if you can grow back body parts, surely you can reform your clothing.
Seras thought about it a minute � she had never even thought about trying. �But, how?�
�If you can reform your eye, can�t you figure clothing out?�
Seras concentrated on her torn clothing and visualized a new shirt � this one red but all she managed to do was change Anderson�s coat red.
Both Pip and her Master started laughing at her attempt. �It looks like you need more practice, Seras Victoria.� Alucard said. He turned to glare at Pip. How dare a lesser vampire laugh at his child? Pip could never hope to be as powerful as Seras would become. He smirked as Pip looked away nervously.
Seras looked at Anderson. She had turned his coat red � this was not good. �Father Anderson, I�m sorry. I�ll buy you a new one if I can�t change it back, okay?�
The priest nodded � in the middle of the war, the color of his coat seemed rather insignificant. �Tis okay, Draculina. My soul is damned. The color of my coat does not matter.�
�Now that is settled,� Integral said, �Father Anderson, there is a guest room down the hall from mine. You are welcomed to it. Unfortunately, I can�t have Walter get it ready. You�ll have to do that yourself. I don�t believe Millenium made it up that far.�
Anderson smiled at his new boss. Everything seemed so surreal. It seemed like such a short time ago, he had served Father Maxwell with pride. That had all changed with the war. Father Maxwell had change. He had changed. And now he would work along side the devil himself. Anderson did not think things could get any worst. �Thank you, Sir Hellsing. I will retire to my room now. My body is in need of sleep.�
Integral nodded. �If you need food, help yourself to what is in the kitchen. There should be something suitable. You and I are the only ones that require normal food. I�ll have to find some additional household help from somewhere since Millenium seems to have eaten my staff.� Integral rubbed her temples. The dull headache had grown into a pounding one. She had not slept or eaten in more then 24 hours. Although Integral tried to act as if she was superhuman, she was not.
Dracula looked at his Master, she did not look well. �Master, you need to go to bed yourself before you collapse.�
�Sir Integral, I can make a meal for you and bring it up to your room. Master is right � you need to sleep. You don�t look well.�
Integral glared at the two of them. Why was everyone treating as if she were a china doll? �I am fine and perfectly capable of knowing just when I need to get some rest and food. Have you two become mother hens?� She stood up, as if to prove her point. Why did her legs feel so bloody weak? The Hellsing knight did not even feel her legs give out as she fainted. Dracula was quick to catch his Master. He picked her up gently and carried Integral to her bedroom, ignoring the glances of his fledgling and her would-be lover.
Dracula was somewhat troubled by the feeling in his gut but it would have to wait. I should have killed him after he gained his freedom. Something about him is just not right. If he tries to harm my Master or my Servant � I shall make him die a slow and painful death. Now he had to make sure Integral was okay. He glanced back at Seras. �Seras Victoria � prepare my Master a full course meal and a cup of tea. Bring it up to her room immediately.� Alucard glared at the undead Captain - he did not trust him at all. �Make sure you come alone. My Master doesn�t want many visitors.�
Seras smiled, not picking up Alucard�s hostility towards Pip. She was just happy to be helping Sir Integral. Seras told Pip to go to her room and wait for her. It would be nice not being alone any longer. As she headed towards the kitchen, Seras got that dreaded feeling again. Something was just not right with Pip. It was more then him being undead. She hoped that her feelings were wrong. Seras Victoria did not want to face losing him again.
