A Beautiful New Wonderland

~{03}~

Alyse: 

I woke up to the smell of black coffee, and a note. I sit up, put my glasses on, and take that wonderful first sip. This coffee was rich, sweet, but still got that good flavor I knew. This was rich people coffee, and I loved it. I read the note and feel my heart drop. I had to meet with the rivals of my Mom today, as Alucard put it, so to dress accordingly. I knew my Mom had a bone to pick with the Vatican, but I didn't know how deep it went. I'm hoping I can patch it up and make nice. I pull on a blue skater dress with a heart cut out in the cleavage, a matching pair of heels, and did nice make up, putting my hair into a French braid. I head downstairs to the office, and see the sexiest man I had ever had the privilege to see. As wide as he was tall, I knew he was jacked under those clerics cloths, and yet, I did not care. I swallow my nerves, sipping my coffee and I walk over, set it down on my desk, and offer my hand with a smile. 

" My name is Miss Alyse Johnson, Heiress to the Hellsing fortune and head of the Hellsing Organization. Who might you two gentlemen be?" 

" My name is Father Alexander Anderson, and this is Cardinal Enrico Maxwell. We run Iscariot, sector 13 of the Vatican. We are the Exorcists who take care of most of Europe. Please to meet you, Sir." 

" Oh no no no, I'm not a knight, I haven't seen England enough to know her well yet, but fresh off the plane or not, I'm hoping to make everyone impressed and happy." 

" You're American?" 

" Yes, Father, I am. Born here, raised by my father in Boston. He won the 'divorce', as he liked to put it." 

" Ah, so you know New England, not the old. I understand now." 

" Exactly. Please, gentlemen, sit." 

We sit down, and his silvery blonde locks and stunning storm sky eyes have me spell bound, his brogue was sexy as hell, and I know my Mom would kill me for this train of thought. 

" So, why would Exorcist want business with Hellsing?"

" We merely wanted to get to know the new face leading such a powerful Order, and to rehash rules and by laws we had as a treaty."

" Ah, I see, because England is anglo-protestant and you're all Catholics. I get it."

" Not quite, but that is a part. You see, your mother-" 

" Shut up, catholic! She knows nothing yet, and you were to wait for me, I told you as such!" 

" Alucard, I can run this place fine. No need to mother hen me. How else am I to learn except with hands on experience?" 

" We were to talk first before this meeting. There's a lot about this job you aren't aware of. Secrets were kept to protect you."

" Like what?" 

" Like how your mother was a vampire hunter, and one of the best too." 

I felt my skin go cold. Alucard walked over and stood between me and the priest, a snarl on his lips and the growl from his chest told me this man knew how to be very feral, and wanted an excuse to be.

" That was out of line, Anderson! The girl was to be told the truth by me, as was Integral's last wishes! This was to be my job, to teach her just as I had taught her mother!" 

" You have to be joking! I thought it was just coincidence that the names were the same...then that means...Alu...oh, oh no. No, this is a lie, it can't be real..." 

" I'm afraid it is, young miss. Alucard is the Ultimate Vampire, the strongest in known history. Your ancestor was Professor Abraham Van Helsing, and it was his job to eradicate similar monsters like Alucard from the whole of UK. Your mother hid this from you to protect you, because she knew with your American rebelliousness, you'd try to look for them on your own."
