Annette's POV:
*Ten weeks earlier*
"Great! Just great," muttering to myself, "not only I've been kicked out of Iscariot, but I've been exiled by the Catholic church!" I kicked a rusty rubbish bin in the alleyway of Naples, Italy.

Before leaving the orphanage, my mates from Iscariot pitched in to give me a beautiful blessed silver crucifix necklace with five little, white pearls embellished into the gorgeous cross, from Father Anderson, a Latin Bible that he first received when he joined Iscariot, and lastly from the orphans, a box of prayer cards and letters from them. Tears stained my cheeks, I hastily rubbed them away by the sleeve of my crimson hoodie, picking up my belongings, I headed towards the train station, and glanced one last time on to the towns of Italy.

Present time...

"Are ya really from Italy?" A innocent little girl asked a half awake me, trying not to disemboweled this morning's breakfast, on the cruise ship I stupidly reserving a passage to Britain knowing full well on how seasick easily I can become.

"Urp...Yes...I'm...Really from...Italy...Urp, er excuse me!" I made a mad dash to the washroom, nearly ripping the door off its hinges, I digress the details on what followed after an hour of heaving, (luckily my scarlet hair was in a pony tail) I was finally relieved when we docked at the English port.

Time skip through the passport checking and the collecting of personal effects...Cause I don't know how it's done nor do I care to find out....

*Few days of running into London by vampiric speed*

"So...This...is...London?" Exhausted from running miles upon miles of country road to avoid being seen by humans, I wiped the sweat off my brow and looked up at the London sites in awe.

The sun had already set and the night just begun, street lamps, shop signs, any kind of bright lights lit up the streets of England's most largest city.

Quickly adapting to the English's way of pedestrian crossing and transportation, I'd say I caught on fairly quick. Walking down a few blocks close a to an alleyway, I felt rough grasp on my shoulders, as I was thrown onto the filthy littered ground of the alley, and came face to face by a small group of vampires grinning sadistic smirks and their red orbs undressed my body lustfully.

"'Ello there love. Don't you look so nice and pretty! Don't she look pretty eh Harold?" Said a greasy blonde haired man with a scar running down his face, wearing ratty shirt and pants. His friend had a rat's nest in his dark brown hair, a stubble grew on his chin along with a snakebite on his cruel lips, as he forcefully pinned me to the grimy wall, "Right indeed, Travis. I'd say she's quite a beauty! What you thinkin' Wesley?"

A tall burley man with a serpent in mid strike tattooed on his left side of his face, smirking as he got closer to me, roughly lifting my chin up towards him, "Let. Me. Go. Bloodsucker!" I spat in his face, which earned me a swift punch in the face, a lump swelled over my right eye and cheek, I chuckled darkly, "Oi, do it again, the first one tickled." As requested, my body was pummeled by fists and hard kicks, dropping me to the ground, they resumed the assault onto my bleeding form.

Without thinking, my thoughts drifted towards to the demonic mind of the No Life King, I weakly projected a message to Alucard, «A-Alucard...H-h-help me...P-please...» Hoping that he heard me as my vision was slowly fading away.

Everything looked blurry, as my assaulters started to undress me in the alley, my red hair tangled and matted by my blood pooling from right side of my abdomen around me as I heard one of slurping up my blood, their thoughts chaotic, lust, malice, anger, hunger, sex, greed, vanity, sadness, and fear plague their minds. I almost pitied them, but a sudden feeling of murderous red rage grew behind the trio, that emotion belonged to neither of them.

The screams...Their screams sliced through the night accompanied the thundering sounds of gunfire, a familiar blood red trenchcoat and hat graced my slowly closing eyes. Next thing I knew, I was being held up by strong yet gentle hands, as my head lolled towards his chest, a gloved hand brushed away my scarlet red bangs from my eyes. "....Alucard?" I weakly murmuring my rescuer's name, before my eyes closed shut I heard my name being whispered in my ear as sleep took me.

Alucard's POV:
My master, Sir Integra was in the middle of scolding me on my pervious behavior on an assignment, when a familiar mind probed my thoughts «A-Alucard...H-h-help me...P-please...» it was Annette, without her permission, I penetrated her thoughts and became enrage by what I saw through her eyes.

"My master," I usually was sarcastic towards her, but my anger flared up in my aura around me, as she annoying prompting me to go on, "it seems that the Holy Lion is in danger in London."

My master's eyes widened in shock, but hastily composed herself and calmly asking, "How did the Holy Lion contacted you, Alucard?" I explained that on the first day we met her and Father Anderson, I noticed she was able to read minds as well as telepathically speak into them, after the explanation, Sir Integra ordered me to retrieve her at once. I gladly obeyed, rushing to my queen's side with due haste.

Time skip through the traveling to Annette's side... Still Alucard's Pov

On arriving to where my queen sent her thought, I stopped dead in my tracks at the sight of a bloody and bruised female dampire about to be raped by three heinous vampires while one of them was greedily drinking her blood pooled next to her, the control on my anger skyrocketed, unlocking the safety off my guns, "Gentlemen," all three vampires snapped their heads in my direction, an angry grin grew on my lips, revealing my sharp fangs as I spoke, " is that anyway to treat a lady." However, I was answered by the three of them stupidly charging me, my reply was shooting them to dust as their dying screams cut through the night.

Pacing towards the deathly pale dampire, I knelt beside her lifting her up gingerly, her head lolled onto my chest as I gently brushed away her red bangs from her closing eyes, she faintly murmuring my name, "...Alucard?" Her eyes closed when I whispered into her ear, "Annette, I shall always come for you, my queen." I placed kiss upon her forehead as I held her as groom carries a his bride, and whisked her off the Hellsing estate.
________________________________________________________

The doors to the manor opened, revealing the stately butler Walter, retired vampire hunter, looking down at Annette in concern, "Alucard, she's dreadfully pale. What happened?"

I glided past Walter, heading towards the cellar stairs, my pace quickening as I pass by police girl who looked at Annette in terror, but I said nothing as enter into my chambers.

Annette's skin grew more paler. I opened my coffin, while I set down her down in the red satin, again I brushed away her scarlet red bangs from her eyes, recalling my previous dealings with dampires in the past, I bit the inside wall of mouth, blood welling in my mouth, leaning forward above her ghostly white face, softly planting my lips onto her's, slowly opening her mouth with my tongue as the blood poured into her mouth.

I heard a shallow swallow, she was drinking the blood she needed for the blood she lost, releasing her lips I sighed in relief, I sat next to her sleeping form, rubbing circles on top of her right hand, sleep was the last thing I've dared thought of as my eyelids became heavy for this night's events, laying my head on my propped arm on the coffin's rim.

Integra's POV: Didn't see that coming, now did ya?😉

Alucard has been holed up in his room, ever since he brought home the Iscariot's beast into the Hellsing manor yesterday, I buzzed the intercom in Alucard's room, "Alucard! I want you in my office now." I ordered firmly, waiting for his arrival through my office's doors, but as usual he passed through the walls next to the door. Propping himself in the darkest corner of the room arms crossed over his chest.

"What is your order my master?" He asks in sarcastic voice of his while he smiles smuggling on how funny it is to annoy, I swear, he does it to drive up the wall.

I glare at him coldly, "Alucard," trying to remain as calm, collective and sane as possible when answering him, propping my hands in front of my face, business like, "are there any changes in her condition?" I instantly regretted questioning on our guest's health since she's in a comatose state.

He smug smile falters, he icily replies to my question, "No change, my master." His eyes flickered worry for the young miss Anderson, an emotion I'm not familiar with Alucard ever experiencing. "Alucard, may I remind you that she's half human, and not as fast a healer as you are. Be patient, and wait for her to be well."

The King of vampires, curtly nods and evaporated out of the room, an itch grew at the back of my as I felt being watched in my home, I pretend not to notice, but wary of what events may come to follow here on out.

Annette's POV:

My eyelids felt heavy as I was forced into fevered dreams.

Dream:
I was running with my long scarlet hair flowing behind me. From what I did not know.

My lungs felt like they were about burst from all this running, I looked behind me, and unfortunately, regretted doing so.

A huge monstrous crow, flapping its nightmarish black wings, its cold eyes roved me in lustful manner, its cruel beak opens and caws at me, while its razor sharp talons attempting to capture me and devour whole.

I tripped over a rock, landing flat on my face, I quickly scrambled to get up, but I was flipped over by sharp talons of the monstrosity slicing up my sides. I was bleeding in my dream.

A thunderous howl echoed through my nightmare, knocking the Crow off balance, as a large paw stood in front of my bleeding body, I looked up and saw giant ass black hound with glowing red eyes.

The crow wasn't discouraged by the giant dog, and tried to snatched at me, but it was confronted by the dog again. The dog launched itself at demon bird. Biting, snapping the crow into pieces.

As beastly bird vanished, the giant dog lumbered over to me, shrinking until it was the size of a normal sized dog, and began to lick at my wounds. When it finished, the dog laid its head on my lap, licking my right hand lovingly, and slowly disappeared.
*End of Dream*

My eyes started to flutter open, I tried to sit up only to hiss in pain, I laid my head back down in defeat, my eyes adjusted in the dark, rubbing my head with my left hand as thoughts begin to flow into my brain.

What happened? Where am I? More importantly, why am I in a coffin? My questions were answered when I felt a cold hand on my right hand, slightly lifting up my head to see a familiar vampiric face sleeping soundly on lap, heat burned my cheeks, as quietly groaned disgust. For the love of God! Why am I acting like a hormonal teenager?!

I attempted to sit up again, only to be pushed down by cold hand, the heat burned hotter on my poor cheeks as I saw a smirking vampire looking down at me, "So, you're awake. For a moment there I thought I'll have to use extreme measures to wake you." Thought extreme measures caused me blush more deeply, I turned my face away, but only for it be captured by the cold hand and turned my head to face him. "Welcome to the Queen's country, my queen!"

I slapped his hand away, I glared daggers at him, "Firstly, I. Am. Not. Your. Queen! Secondly, where the hell am I? And thirdly, what do you mean by your queen?"

Alucard just laughed at me, and I knew that I somehow must have fucked up sometime yesterday morning.
