Chapter 5
Two men and a woman sat in a
private booth at a pub in London. The oldest man held a small
glass of brandy rubbing the smooth glass exterior with his
fingers.
"You're sure you heard
right? There is a decendent of Andre Van Helsing?" He asked
insistently.
"I believe so sir. But I
didn't hear it refered to as Van Helsing. The Van had been
removed and the word Helsing spelled with two l's instead of one.
Van Helsing's decendent has founded what is refered to as The
Hellsing Organization. It must be of great importance as several
young men were being taken there as recruits for what I suspect
is their military operations."
"Hellsing organization
eh? I want to know about this Hellsing organization and its
leader."
"Shall I send Jeffery to
spy on them?" The woman asked.
"Yes. If it is true that
a Van Helsing walks this Earth, my revenge will be close at hand.
I want the decendent of Van Helsing to suffer as I was made to
suffer."
"As you wish."

Alucard sat in his chamber.
His expression was serious and his crimson orbs narrowed to
nearly slits. Seras walked in after feeding Mariah. She noticed
the look on the elder vampire's face and knew something wasn't
right.
"Alucard, what is
it?" She asked.
"Integra and her son may
be in great danger." He answered with restrained calm.
"From what?"
"It would appear that our
werewolf and vampire may be indeed working together. But there is
much more. Integra had Zoey do research by going through the
private Hellsing archives. She discovered an account from four
hundred years ago about a man who had the ability to change into
a werewolf at will. He was eventually captured, tried and
executed for his crimes. But before he died he swore vengeance
upon those who captured him. One of the hunters who helped
capture the man was named Andre Van Helsing." Alucard
explained.
"Van Helsing? You
mean..."
"Yes, the same Van
Helsing line that eventually captured and forced me into
servitude. Integra and Henry are the decendents of the Van
Helsing line. But they are not the only ones in danger. There
were two other hunters mentioned in the account. One was David
William Dolnase, and the other was Daniel Winson Victoria."
Seras's eyes widened.
"Dolnase, that's Walter's family name. And the other....oh
dear God!" She exclaimed.
"You, Mariah and Walter
are all in grave danger. The individual charged and executed was
refered to as Douglas of Salsbury. While Integra cannot be
absolutely sure, she believes it is he who has returned to exact
his revenge upon the decendents of his captors." Alucard
replied.
"What if he finds his way
here?" Seras asked worriedly.
"I will rip the bastard
to shreds first." Alucard growled.
"And what of the female
vampire?"
"She too will suffer for
her part in this. If she escapes my grasp, then I will leave it
to you to end her."
"I'll rip out her
lifeless heart if she comes anywhere near our child or anyone
else in this house." Seras said, her voice suddenly becoming
dark and menancing.
########################################################
Integra knocked on the door to
Megan's bedroom. "Come in." She said. Integra walked in
to find Megan blowing out a stick of incense she'd just lit.
"What may I do for you
Sir Integra?" Megan asked.
"I need your help. I'm
afraid that my son and I may be in great danger. But we are not
the only ones threatened. Walter, Seras and her daughter Mariah
are also being targeted by something terrible and evil. It has
something to do with the werewolf attacks that have broken out
recently." Integra answered.
"A werewolf is targeting
you?"
"I believe so. I
discovered that a long time ago one of my ancestors helped
capture and execute a man for being in league with dark forces
and committing unspeakable murders. He swore revenge and if he
could not have it against those who captured him, then he would
return from Hell to wreak it upon the decendents. Three names
were mentioned, Van Helsing, Dolnase and Victoria. It amounts to
a hit list, and I, my son, Walter, Seras and her daughter Mariah
are all at the top of it." Integra explained.
"You think the recent
attacks are the work of the man executed long ago?"
"I can't be absolutely
sure, but I have a strong suspicion this is the same individual.
I worry not only for my son and Walter, but if something happens
to Seras and Mariah, then no seal no matter how strong may be
able to hold back his rage. I worry for the sake of my country if
that were to happen."
"I understand. I will
look for a spell that will offer some protection to all of you.
If that will not offend you."
"I take no offense.
Whatever will keep my son and those who serve under me safe, then
do it."
########################################################
Jeffery walked the streets
thinking of a way to get to the Hellsing compound. He kept
walking until he over heard two men talking beside a medical
vehicle.
"Where we taking
this?" One man asked.
"Hellsing Organization.
They got their own hospital facility and with as many soldiers as
they got they need a lot of blood for transfusions." The
other answered as he opened the back of the truck.
"Gotta make sure the temp
isn't going up in here. This stuff goes bad real fast if the
temperature isn't just right."
"Is it true what they
say? That the Hellsing Organization is charged by the queen
to..."
"Look, this is your first
run so I'll clue you in right now. What the Hellsing organization
does is none of my or your business. We get the shipment, make
the delivery, get paid. That's all you need to know. I was told
this when I first started so I'm telling you now. Don't go asking
questions about things you really don't want to know about."
Jeffery walked to the open van
as the men left to get something to eat. He looked around to see
if anyone was watching him. Then he carefully climbed into the
back of the van and hid himself.
"What in the world could
they need all this blood for?" He asked himself quietly.
He heard the men returning and
crouched down under the large containers so he would not be seen.
The doors shut and the men entered the vehicle and started it up.
Jeffery remained as quiet as possible. This would surely get him
into the Hellsing Organization and get him the info he needed.
########################################################
Integra was in the nursery
standing over Henry's crib. "Even before my great great
grandfather Abraham Van Helsing, the Hellsing family has been
dealing with creatures of the night. It truly is our family's
destiny to purge this country of the foul monsters who threaten
it. But now one of the foulest is threatening you Henry.
Threatening you, myself and those close to us." She said to
the sleeping child.
There came a knock at the door
way. Integra looked over her shoulder to see Kenneth standing
there. "Integra, what's wrong? You've not felt yourself
tonight."
"Our son may be in danger
Kenneth, and I may be as well." Integra answered.
"In danger from
what?" Kenneth asked.
"The werewolf attacks
recently reported may be the work of a man who has a deal with
the devil. A deal made over four hundred years ago. He was
captured by my ancestor, one several centuries before Abraham Van
Helsing. And this fiend made a vow he would return from his death
to wreck his vengence upon my family. But there are others who
are in danger as well. It turns out that ancestors of both Walter
and Seras were present as well. And that means Alucard and
Seras's daughter Mariah is in harms way as well."
"How can you be sure this
is the same man?"
Just as Integra was about to
answer, another knock was heard. "Sir Integra..." Zoey
said.
"I just finished
researching any strange or disturbing crimes committed in the
past few weeks. There was one in Salsbury. A child's body was
found with stab wounds that signify it was a ritual slaying.
There were demonic symbols carved into the child's upper torso.
It was also reported that a hole was dug by the child's body and
blood was poured over what appeared to be a container of ashes.
The container was empty. The ashes were nowhere to be seen."
"I think we just got our
answer Kenneth."
########################################################
It was late when the shipment
arrived at the Hellsing mansion. Two armed guards stopped the van
and asked for id. Jeffery huddled down nervously fearing the
guards would look in the vehicle and discover him. The doors
opened but the guards only took a brief look inside. Seeing only
the containers holding the blood rations, they were satisfied
there was nothing suspicious going on. Jeffery breathed a sigh of
relief after the doors closed.
"Are you inside
yet?"
"No mistress. I've
only arrived at the mansion. I stowed away in a medical van
carrying a rather large amount of donated transfusion blood. I
should be in the mansion soon."
"Find the decendent
of Van Helsing and then return to me."
"Yes Mistress
Anna."
########################################################
Integra sat at her desk. She
looked up to find Alucard suddenly appear before her.
"I don't recall summoning
you Alucard. What do you want?" She asked.
For a second the vampire did
not answer. Integra noticed the dead serious look on his face.
"Alucard, what is it?" She sternly enquired.
"I have caught a mental
transmission just now. One is coming from a vampire. I believe
the same vampire I confronted not long ago. The other source I am
not sure. I know only it is male. And I would place it as coming
from the gates to the mansion."
Integra's eyes widened. Just
as she was about to speak she heard a voice come over the
intercom. "Sir Integra, the rations shipment has
arrived."
"Stop that vehicle! Do
not let the drivers out of your sight! I'm on my way!"
Jeffery kept himself crouched
in the back of the van. It puzzled him as to why the vehicle was
not moving. The driver and his assistant suddenly found
themselves surrounded by Hellsing soliders. Dozens of guns were
pointed at their heads. They frantically put up their hands
hoping not to get shot. Sir Integra stomped toward the vehicle
demanding to know what was going on.
"Please, Sir Integra
we're just the delivery men. We were instructed to bring the
shipment to the mansion as always." The driver pleaded.
"Wait...I know this man.
He has brought shipments here before. Who is that with you?"
She demanded.
"This is Thomas. He was
just hired last month."
"Check the back of the
vehicle!" Integra barked.
Jeffery heard the doors open
and mistakenly thinking it was safe for him to leave the van. He
stood up and found several semi automatic weapons pointed right
at him.
"You! Hands up,
now!" One soldier barked.
"What's going on?"
Integra asked insistantly.
"There's an unknown male
in the back of the van Sir!"
"Get him out but don't
shoot him. I want him alive for questioning." Integra
ordered.
"NO!" Jeffery
shouted and leapt out of the van.
"No one shoot him!"
Integra barked.
Before Jeffery could get even
twenty feet away, he suddenly found himself falling on his face.
He looked across to his feet and found they were effectively
bound by inky black tendrils.
"What...what the hell?
What the hell is that?!" He screamed in terror.
The tendrils suddenly grew and
wrapped him in a black cocoon. The only thing visible was his
head.
"He won't be going
anywhere." Alucard replied with a fanged grin.
"Alucard, is this the
male you were refering to?" Integra asked.
"Well, when he's not
screaming like a little girl, yes. I recognize his voice. It
would appear he's trying to sneak into the mansion." Alucard
answered.
"Bring him to the
sublevels. I've got a few questions for our uninvited guest
here."
"As you wish
master." Alucard replied, his manical smile growing wider.
########################################################
Megan gathered the tools she
would need to create a protective shield within the mansion.
Several priests were outside blessing the grounds to create a
spiritual barrier which demonic beings could not cross. Holy
relics, pages of scripture and holy water and oils were spread
throughout the exterior of the mansion ensuring unholy creatures
could not get inside. Megan first went to Henry's nursery. She
created a circle of protection around him and then went to
Mariah's nursery and did the same. Small charms with protective
properties were placed throughout the children's rooms to fortify
the barriers. The priests stayed outside along with armed
Hellsing soldiers. They had their weapons blessed as well as the
ammunition. In case there was an attack, they would need to stay
the enemy until Alucard could finish her off. While there was
only an hour of night left, Integra would take no chances.
As Integra had instructed, the
prisoner was taken to the sublevels. Kicking and screaming he was
dragged into a cell and chained to the wall. Alucard marched up
to him and proceeded to back hand him hard enough to make his
mouth and nose bleed.
"Quiet you coward!"
He barked.
"You'll wake my
daughter." He said in a hushed voice.
Jeffery shook violently with
fear seeing a pair of blood red eyes glaring at him. Integra
marched up to him and grabbed the scruff of his shirt.
"Who are you? Why did you
try to sneak into my house?" Integra demanded.
Despite his fear, Jeffery
remained silent. Integra turned to the guards.
"I am leaving the
prisoner with Alucard." She replied coldly.
"Yes Sir Hellsing."
One guard replied.
"Hellsing? You...you are
the decendent of Van Helsing...argg!"
Jeffery suddenly found himself
unable to speak with Alucard's hand wrapped firmly around his
throat.
"You speak to my master
when you are spoken to you piece of filth." Alucard growled.
"Alucard, find out why he
was trying to gain entry. I have a feeling he is connected to the
beast that threatens this house. And when you are done obtaining
the information, do with him what you will. He has threatened
this organization, my son, and those who work for me."
"With pleasure my
master."
########################################################
Anna spied the mansion
following Jeffery's mental signal. But she was unable to get
close. The blessings and barriers effectively kept her at bay.
Being an unholy creature, trying to get past a holy shield was
not only ineffective, but incredibly painful for one such as her.
She looked up and saw the sun would be rising soon. She would
have to return to the solice of darkness before the sun destroyed
her.
"She is here! The
descendent of Van Helsing is here! She has a vampire in her
service...ahgggg!"
She heard Jeffery's agony
filled scream in her head. But she had no concern with his
suffering. The fool deserved it for letting himself get caught.
But he had provided her with the information she needed. She
vanished from the site leaving her servant to his horrible fate.
Jeffery hung against the wall,
arms stretched wide by the high set shackles that bound his
wrists. His ankles were also shackled against the wall as well.
Alucard watched him shaking with pain after having inflicted a
nasty bite to his shoulder.
"You have her smell all
over you human. You're her servant. Who is she? Is she the one
who works with this beast who seeks to destroy my master and
those who work for her? Answer me!" Alucard barked.
Jeffery remained silent.
"I could easily gain
access to your mind and find the information I want to know. But
seeing as my master said I can do whatever I want to you, I think
I'll just get the answers out of you....my way." Alucard
said with a sadistic laugh.
He did not have to worry about
Mariah being awakened by the prisoner's screams. Now that the sun
had come up, Mariah would be in a deep sleep. Seras kept the
sleeping baby with her in her coffin since it was sound proofed.
Alucard could have all the sick, sadistic enjoyment he wanted
without worry of waking either his mate or daughter. The thought
thrilled him to no end.
"Normally I am asleep
during the day. But the chance to be able to inflict every type
of pain imaginable on your pathetic hide was something I simply
could not wait til night for. I am going to enjoy making you
scream."
Jeffery screamed mentally for
his mistress to save him. But all pleas fell on deaf ears. Anna
had since abandoned him, and now he would pay the price for his
misguided loyalty. And he had already began paying that price
with the bleeding gash to his shoulder. Alucard tore at the shirt
now covered in blood until he ripped it off his victim's torso.
"Look, I'll talk! I'll
tell you anything you want to know! Please, please don't hurt me
anymore!" Jeffery cried pitifully.
"Oh you're going to tell
me what I want to know. But that isn't going to spare you. You
were helping to bring a beast to my master's house. You were
helping it to kill my master and her son. You were helping to
bring it here to kill one of my dearest friends, my wife...and my
daughter." Alucard said.
His expression was full of
malice as he grabbed Jeffery's throat. "You threaten my
daughter, my only child. You threaten those dearest to me and for
that I will make you pay dearly. I will make you beg for
death." He snarled.
"Mistress!! Help me!
Please get me out of here!"
"Scream for your master
all you want you little worm. She has long since forsaken you.
You were simply a tool to her. Did you think that she would
actually risk her own neck to come here for a pathetic piece of
garbage like you? You are even worse than the lowly ghouls I
exterminate night in and night out." Alucard growled.
"Even if she did have a
shred of concern for you, she couldn't get to you anyway. The
mansion has been surrounded by a spiritual barrier inside and
out. You're all mine now."
"Please, please I'll tell
you anything. Just don't...arrhhhggg!" Jeffery wailed
feeling Alucard's elongated claws digging into his flesh. Slowly
he dragged his clawed hand down Jeffery's shoulder and arm. He
only penetrated the first few layers of skin, drawing right into
the nerves and blood vessles. He left a series of long
lacerations down Jeffery's left arm.
Alucard stood back admiring
the horrendous wounds. "Well, now I have a problem. I can't
very well have one arm look different from the other. I guess
I'll just have to fix the other one now." He said with a
sadistic chuckle.
"Oh no. Oh no! No
please!" Jeffery screamed, but to no avail. He soon found
his other arm as bloodied and torn as his left. His body began to
shake. He could not believe the pain he was in.
"Now I want you to tell
me..." Alucard began as he started pressing his now dull
finger nails into the freshly made wounds making them hurt even
worse.
"Is she working with the
werewolf?" He asked calmly.
"Yes! Yes she's working
with him!" Jeffery screamed.
"Well, that was simple
enough. Now tell me is he the one who was executed four hundred
years ago?"
"Yes! He is Douglas of
Salsbury. He has come back for his revenge!" Jeffery
answered still crying out in pain.
"And when he does, I hope
he rips your master to shreds! I hope he causes her as much agony
as you're causing me!" Jeffery spat.
That, he learned was a grave
mistake. That only served to raise Alucard's ire further than it
already was. He backhanded his victim visciously for the remark.
"You will speak when
spoken to." Alucard hissed.
"Your mate...she's a
decedent isn't she? And your child...is she decended too?"
"I think it's time you
held your tongue."
"She is isn't she. Tell
me, is she a decendent of the Dolnase family? Or perhaps she's
descended from the other line...Victoria. Yes, she and your child
are both of the Victoria line aren't they? He'll have fun ripping
them limb from limb. And this friend of yours...is that the
Dolnase decendent?" Jeffery asked.
"Be silent." Alucard
snarled.
"Yes...they are. They
are! They are all here! The beast will have his veng..."
Jeffery didn't get to finish
his sentence. He found himself unable to speak with his windpipe
effectively being crushed. Alucard's expression went from one of
sadistic enjoyment to one of rage.
"It is obvious you do not
know how to hold your tongue. Perhaps I should hold it for
you."
Alucard forced Jeffery's mouth
open and grabbed his tongue in a vice like grip. His fingernails
elongated into razor sharp edges. They sank through his tongue
until they had effectively severed it. Jeffery flailed violently
trying to break his bonds. Once the fleshly mass was hanging by a
thread, Alucard ripped it from his victim's mouth. Blood poured
fourth from the stump that had once been Jeffery's tongue. His
eyes wide with agony. The pain was indescribible.
He looked on in horror as he
saw his now severed tongue in Alucard's hand. He looked at the
thing for a moment and then tossed it to the floor. While he was
pleased with his work thus far, he certainly wasn't done yet. The
sadistic smile returned to his visage as he prepared to inflict
more agony upon his victim. He walked up to Jeffery who could now
only make gurgled moaning sounds to express his pain. Alucard
fixed his gaze upon Jeffery's eyes.
"Yes...now you will give
me your will and your mind. Seeing as you cannot speak anymore,
I'll just find out the rest of what I want to know this
way." He said forcing his way into Jeffery's mind.
"We will send Jeffery
to gain entrance into this Hellsing Organization, Anna. He will
learn if it is indeed true the line of Van Helsing
continues."
"As you
wish...father."
Alucard released his mental
hold on Jeffery's mind. "So...that is the connection. She is
his daughter. Of course! Why didn't I see it sooner. She knew her
father would not survive the trial, so she sought out another
vampire to turn her. She would survive the centuries until the
time was right to bring her father back."
Jeffery began to slump foward
thinking now that Alucard had what he wanted, his suffering would
end. He was wrong. Alucard stood back flashing a twisted, fanged
smile. "Do you think it's over? Did you not hear me earlier?
Just because I got answers, doesn't mean that I'm done with you
yet."
His eyes began to glow and the
sybmols on his gloves did the same. His hair began to move and
writhe around him. They formed long tendrils that slithered
toward the victim. The ends of the tendrils branched out
sprouting hideous mouth parts full of razor sharp teeth. They
latched onto his chest, his legs, and thighs. They began to
slowly twist and burrow into his flesh. Though the rows of teeth
were sharp, they were very short. The shorter they were, the
longer it would take for them to burrow into the flesh.
The victim howled and wailed
in pain as they dug through his torso and extremties. But the
suffering was made even more exquisite when more tendrils latched
onto his male organs. The screams and howls of agony echoed
throughout the sublevels along with Alucard's twisted laughter.
########################################################
Integra stood at the window of
her study. She stood with her arms folded carefully holding her
cigar so it did not burn her suit.
"Master, the whelp
has given me some information you will need to know." Alucard's
voice sounded mentally.
"Report
Alucard." She ordered.
"Indeed the beast
stalking us is the man named Douglas of Salsbury. The female
vampire working with him is not his partner, but his daughter. I
believe she knew her father would be executed if caught, so she
had herself turned by another vampire so she could continue to
exist until she could resurrect her father."
"Very well. What of
the whelp?"
"He has been
silenced."
"I've no more need of
you for now. Go rest if you need to."
"As you wish
master."
