New Orders Ch. 3 - The Freak
Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2003 8:18 pm
Disclaimer: I do not own Hellsing, or the characters therein. I am only using them for my own amusement. Do not sue me, as you will only end up with dust bunnies and spider webs from underneath my bed.
As this is a humor-centered story, some of the characters may be a bit 'out of character' but I will try to keep the OOC to a minimum.
Thanks for the reviews, everyone. Keep them coming and I will keep my chapters coming. FEED ME! Due to the reviews that I have gotten recently I have been inspired to continue this story... Thank you to those who understand that this is not a 'serious' story. It was never intended to be "accurate to the series". Just FUN!

Alucard awakened. He immediately sensed that something was not right. His master was not on the premises. He appeared in behind Walter who had just hung up the telephone. "Where's Integra?" the vampire asked.
Walter turned to the inquisitive vampire. "She has other business to attend to." He replied. "Do not concern yourself with her.
"She is my master and I am sworn to protect her. I can't protect her if I don't know where she is." Alucard replied. He knew that he could find her if he needed to, wanted to and he knew that Walter knew that as well. He was curious as to what Walter would say.
"Sir Integral does not need your interference." Walter replied as he walked away from the vampire.
Alucard chuckled slightly. Business. He decided that he would wait a little while and then perhaps if there was not an alert, go a spy on his master to see how her date was going. He had to be careful, as she knew that he was aware of the new orders, and she had a knack for sensing his presence where others could not.
Integral waited in the apartment Walter suggested they rent so that her dates wouldn't have to arrive to pick her up at the Hellsing Manor or she didn't arrive in a Rolls Royce. Walter pointed out that either one would be quite intimidating.
So, here she was, waiting in the apartment. Walter had taken the liberty to have it decorated so that it looked lived in. He had even taken care to rent one that was previously owned by a smoker so that should she feel the need to smoke, it would not forfeit the security deposit.
She heard a car pull up. She looked out the window. A hearse? What kind of a man picked up a date in a hearse? She walked away from the window and silently cursed Walter as she waited for the knock. She reminded herself that she was Integral Farbrook.
The knock came and Integral took her time getting to the door. She didn't want to see as though she was anxious. Certainly not, since she was far from being anxious. She resented that her life had come to this. She was a Royal Knight of England. She was Sir Integral Farbrook Wingates Hellsing. Hellsing. It was times like this that she cursed her family history. It was a history that she had to uphold and maintain. She could not let just anybody into the family, and most certainly not be the father to her heir.
Integral opened the door. Before her stood a short scrawny young man dressed as a chauffeur. Was this her date?
"Good evening, Madam," the scrawny gentleman replied. "My master awaits."
Master? Integral asked herself. Madam? She hated being called that. Nobody had ever called her that; Her Ladyship, Lordship, Lady, Lord, Sir, but certainly not ever Madam. Taking a deep breath, Integral looked the door behind her as the chauffeur led the way to the 'car'.
Her thoughts turned to Alucard. She knew that he had found out about her new orders. It didn't matter how he found out, as she knew that she wouldn't be able to keep them from him for long. It was probably that police girl. Damn her. She watched as the chauffeur pulled the coffin halfway out. This couldn't be Alucard. No, she could always sense him when he was near by. And he wouldn't go through all this trouble just to annoy her would he? No, she concluded. He knew that she would personally shoot him in the head for pulling such a stunt. Which brought her back to the moment at hand.
The chauffeur turned to face Integral. "May I present my master, Vladimir Bledinov."
The coffin opened. A rather handsome young man with long curly hair rose up from within. He smiled to reveal his fangs.
Integral kept her composure, only here years of training kept her from bursting into an uncharacteristic laughter. However, on the inside she didn't know whether or not to strangle Walter with his own monofilament for setting her up like this. Dressed in elaborate 18th century attire, her date, she thought looked ridiculous. The coffin and fangs were almost too much. They bothered her to some extent but probably not in the way that her date expected.
Vladimir noticed the cross Integral wore and pulled back with a hiss. "That cross. Please take remove it. It offends me."
Oh, god. This guy is a joke, Integral thought. She decided to amuse him and she placed it under her shirt. She wasn't about to remove it.
"Thank you." Vladimir replied. "Do not be alarmed. You have nothing to fear from me. You are in no danger from me, tonight."
Or ever, Integral thought. If she were anybody else but Integral Hellsing, she might be a bit disturbed by the man's presence and fooled by the idiot's ridiculous masquerade. Her experiences told her that this man was certainly no threat to her. She decided to go along with the ridiculousness for the evening. After all, it couldn't be much worse than spending the evening with a starry eyed young suitor in a stuffy cigar smoke filled room with a bunch of lecherous old men, could it?
The ghouls seemed almost endless. Alucard silenced them one by one, effortlessly causing Sera Victoria and the human troops to wonder why they even bothered anymore. Alucard left a few ghouls for them as he made his way toward the source.
Alucard found the offending freak vampire. He grinned at him. He toyed with him, allowing him to think that he was better than he actually was. Alucard made it look like the freak was winning. Oh how angry my Master would be, Alucard thought. You took too damn long, Alucard! He could hear Integra scream. But there would be none of that tonight, just an annoyed Walter, and an annoyed Walter was no match for a pissed off Integra. No. Integra was out on another date. That fact made Alucard snicker.
Just as it appeared that the freak had gotten the upper hand on Alucard and was about to deliver it's deathblow, Seras burst onto the scene. The freak looked at her.
"Master, Walter wants to know what is taking you so long." She replied.
Alucard got up and stuck a hand through the stunned freak. He sighed. "Why does Walter have to ruin all my fun." He replied.
The two vampires walked out to where an annoyed Walter was waiting. Walter glared at the no-life-king. "Sir Integra will not be pleased, Alucard." The Hellsing retainer replied. "You know how she hates you playing around."
Alucard grinned at Walter. It was a grin that would cause any other man to turn on his heels and run for his life. "Would you rather have me find other means to amuse me?" he asked. "Like spying on my stubborn Master? I know about her orders. I can handle a pissed off Sir Integral Wingates Hellsing. Can you?"
With that, Alucard disappeared. Walter sighed. He knew Alucard would obey him to a certain extent. Integral had given him orders to obey Walter where missions were concerned, but even Integral's control over Alucard was limited. Alucard enjoyed himself. Pure and simple.
Integral couldn't believe a place like this existed. It was a hive of humans who wanted to be vampires. It made her sick to her stomach. Why would a human want to be a vampire and live their lives pretending to be one? These fools were worse than the freaks that she was destroying of late. At least the chipped vampires were as good as dead and had true vampire urges to consume blood. These fools were merely playing an elaborate game.
Inside the building, it looked like a fancy restaurant; however, it was filled with ridiculous role players as well, all dressed as Vladimir was.
The ma?tre d' approached Vladimir and smiled. "Your usual table, I presume?"
"Yes. Thank you."
The usual table? This guy came here often? Integral was beginning to think that this was going to be far worse than the cigar room.
Vladimir's usual table was a table toward the back, which suited Integral just fine. Not that any of the vampire want-to-be's would know who she was, but she still did not want to take that chance. When the waiter approached, Vladimir ordered for the both of them. He was trying to be charming. Integral found him annoying. She had to deal with the pompous fools of the Round Table and the police she didn't need this.
The wine arrived first. Vladimir made a scene about it. Having the waiter pour a bit of it in the glass. Sloshing it around, sniffing it and tasting it expertly, then commenting on its vintage. The waiter bowed and then left the table. Vladimir poured Integral a glass of wine. When she sipped it she couldn't help but roll her eyes. It was as ridiculous as the whole 'vampire' charade. It was nothing more than cheap drugstore wine. Integral was glad she didn't look at the menu. It was probably a charade as well. She began to wonder why in the world Walter would set her up with a freak like this? Why would she want a phony want-to-be vampire when she had Alucard?
"So, Integral, may I call you that?" Vladimir asked breaking the silence. "What interest do you have in a vampire such as myself?"
Integral grimaced internally, the very thought of this charlatan calling her by her given name made her sick. "You will address me by my rank and title." She replied. The fool would merely think it all to be role-play, she thought to herself. "Sir Integral Hellsing."
"Sir Integral?" Vladimir asked. "Now that title hardly becomes a woman of your grace and beauty."
Now Integral knew the guy was full of it. Beauty, yes, she had often been complimented on her beauty, but grace was not a common way used to describe her. "I am a knight of the Round Table serving Her Majesty, so my proper title is 'sir'. I know that it is uncommon for a woman to become a knight, but I serve in the grand tradition of my family and as my father's only heir, I have been knighted."
Integral had been right. Vladimir did not think it odd at all. He did think she was playing a game. She made a note to kick Walter for this.
When the food arrived, Integral was quite impressed. Despite being made of cheap ingredients the food actually tasted quite good. The steak on her plate was a bit well done for her liking but it was not too bad. She did notice however that her 'vampire' date was eating and rather enjoying a very well done steak. She looked at it, them at him.
"I thought that vampires did not consume solid foods." She asked knowing the truth.
Vladimir smiled. God, that fanged smile bothered her. Not because it was a fanged smile, but because it was fake or if it was real, it was not natural. "One can not live on blood alone." He replied. "Besides, why should I give up all this fine cusine?"
Fine cusine? Integral sighed. This was really ridiculous.
Alucard found the restaurant. He had to laugh. He knew of this place. He visited it once in a while just to make sure the patrons didn't take themselves too seriously and seek out the freak chips. He saw them as no threat. They spent most of their money on keeping up their phony lifestyle. None of them could afford a freak chip let alone find one. However, should one of them ever come across one, Alucard felt that one of them might pose a somewhat of a danger, so he kept his eye on them from time to time. He was amused that he would sense his master inside.
Entering the restaurant, he was surprised at how crowded it was. He noticed Integral sitting toward the back with one of the resident nut cases and couldn't help snickering at the sight. She had her back to him so she couldn't see him, but he could sense how miserable she was. He decided that Vladimir Bledinov's company was enough torture for the evening and returned to the Hellsing Manor.
Later that evening, Alucard heard the familiar angry footfalls of his master. He appeared in front of her and grinned making sure to show his fangs. "Did you have a nice dinner, Master?"
Integral glared at Alucard. Then without giving him an answer she stormed down the hall.
Alucard laughed. He could feel Integral's emotions rising and her blood boiling.
