I do not own Hellsing, apart from this story, and I make no profit from this. Just good free fun.
Denial
“Absolutely not!”
Alucard ducked as a crystal ashtray was chucked at his head and continued grinning. “There’s nothing going on these days, not as much as it used to be. So why not a good old hunt?"
“I’m having a hard enough time with Seras and her choice of food, I do not need her going haywire with bloodlust and kill more than needed.”
“I remember the days you’d threaten me with imprisonment if I fed on innocent humans.”
“Believe it or not, her victims are, while free men, guilty of some crime.”
Alucard masked his surprise. “It seemed she just picked that one up last night out of random.”
Integra shook her head at her pet and pulled a folder out of desk and flung it at him so he’d catch it. “Stefan Metasolis, a known pedophile and drug dealer.”
He stared at the image paper-clipped to the folder. “But that’s impossible. Seras reeked of pheromones.”
“Pheromones that attract ‘the bad boys’ so to say,” Integra said, a ghost of a smile on her face. “Which is how you picked up on it, no doubt.”
‘That cleaver little minx,’ he thought to himself, setting the file back down on the desk. “So if she’s taking bad guys off the streets, why do you have a hard time with her way of doing it?”
“Clean-up is a bitch when we can’t find the bodies. And those bodies could have been loaded with information.”
“Oh? If it’s information you need, can’t Seras give it? The blood link would show her everything they know.”
“Not mentally, but physically.” Integra rubbed the bridge of her nose. “Without a body, there is no evidence but her word. And local crimes the queen is not involved with.” She sighed. “But back to your original request, I deny it.”
“There has to be something fishy in the system. While it’s quiet, there’s always something in the shadows.”
“Be that as it may, we have no leads. You’ll have to deal with cardboard cutouts in the shooting range for the rest of her test. Until, of course, something comes up. With the extinction of the chipped vampires, there have been no large cases of ghoul activity.”
Alucard frowned. “You don’t have to be a freak to create ghouls. I’m sure there’s at least one other vampire in the city hiding.”
“Most likely but not causing enough trouble that you and Seras could go kill. In London anyway.”
“Can you do some searching for unusual activity outside of London?”
“I can and do on a daily basis.” She raised a brow. “Why are you so interested in testing her skills? I mean she’s had thirty years.”
“So I’ve seen. She’s interesting me, my master.” He stared past Integra, staring at the near full moon.
Integra narrowed her eyes. “What are you up to, Alucard?”
“Exactly what I had planned on doing in the first place. Even though I’m going through with my plans in the long run, I want her to show me she’s really evolved from the maggot she once was. To be someone who can keep up with me.”
Integra snorted. “Oh she’s evolved alright. You didn’t get a chance to see her after you left. She moped for a bit and sulked, but recovered after long. I can’t say much, for I was just as depressed by the loss of Walter. She had drank from Pip, who’s been keeping watch from inside her subconscious like a little Jiminy Cricket, and that unlocked the rest of her powers. The only things she’s done since then is train to keep them in check. She could no doubt give you a run for your money.”
“Just what I wanted to hear,” he laughed. “Then she truly is worthy now.”
“Worthy of what?” She glared again. “I order you to answer me, Alucard.”
“It isn’t obvious, my master? I had even said it the day we first met Father Anderson, do you remember?” He grinned manically.
“‘Perhaps it is time for a vampire to not walk alone in the night’,” she recited, eyes expanding at each word.
“Alucard you won’t really-”
“Make her completely mine? Who’s to say I won’t, master?”
“You cannot free her!”
“Hasn’t she been technically free all these years? I have not been here to keep her in check.”
Integra fell silent, admitting defeat. “Suit yourself. You’re dismissed.”
Alucard nodded and left the room to his chambers.
“Just treat her well, my servant,” she muttered.
/I have every intention of treating my future wife with the respect she deserves./
