The following night:

"Mhmm.." I stretched my arms above my head and let out a yawn as my eyes began to flutter open. While half asleep I ran my hand over my ribs, before flickering memories of the indescribable pain penetrated my mind. "Wha-!" I shot up, fully opening my eyes. (...) Where's the wound? Was it just a dream? I thought to myself as I lifted up my vest to reveal my perfectly healed skin, I then looked at my hand and the former deep gash looked as if it never existed. I blinked hard letting my blurred vision adjust so I could look at my surroundings. "Where am I?" I gasped as I looked around the unfamiliar room.

I was sat up on a beautiful, regal four poster bed made from dark solid oak, decorated with deep red velvet drapes and sheets. The room had an old musky smell to it, there were no windows just four solid, brick walls.

My memory jogged. I was beginning to remember what happened yesterday.. Last night? I had no idea of what time it was or how long I'd been here for that matter.

Luca... The 'mystery guest' (...) Blood? My mind spun with confusion, what a bizarre night it was. My head sunk into my shoulders as my stomach began to churn. I felt strange, I couldn't get the man in reds image out of my head or his scent out of my nose, the heavy but addicting sweet smell and the taste on my tongue that I couldn't ignore, my mouth watered at the thought of his sweet delicious blood. What's happening to me? I questioned myself as curled up on the bed.

I shut my eyes and wrapped my arms around my stomach. Wearing just a black vest and black briefs I did wonder what had happened to my clothes and how I ended up wearing these. I pulled the velvet throw over my body and wrapped myself up, the room was like an ice box.

I continued to scan the room from the warmth of the bed. There was a table to the far right of the room with a telephone, a green bottle and two glasses placed on it. There was also a mirror hung directly over and just to the left of the table stood a solid oak door with 3 thick, black hinges and a key hole.

Wondering weather I was being kept here against my will or weather it was just generous hospitality I peeled back the sheets and got up out of the bed. I slowly walked across the cold wooden floor and made my way to the door. Just as my finger tips touched the handle it began to turn from the other side. "Ah!" I shrieked in unexpected shock and stepped backwards as I watched the door creek open.

"Oh good, you're already awake." A relaxed voice spoke from the doorway. I recognised the smooth yet cocky tone in his voice before he had even fully opened the door. Of course it was him, the man in red.

With the door fully open I could make out the tops of his broad shoulders in the dim light, he then ducked under the door frame revealing his slender, pointed yet beautiful jawline baring a wolffish grin. I gulped as my stomach began to churn again.

His crimson eyes gleamed through his goggles, his stare seemed to pierce right through me. I felt at sudden unease but couldn't take my eyes off his gorgeous ivory face.

"How are you feeling tonight?" He asked in a calm caring tone.

"T-tonight..?" I questioned.

"That's correct, it's almost been a whole 24 hours since our last encounter." He said smoothly with a brief flash of his fangs as he fully entered the room.

"I feel okay, just a little baffled I guess. (...) 24 hours? Have I been sleeping for that long?.." I mumbled as I stared down at the ground, I suddenly felt shy and intimated. He was so tall and broad and.. Powerful.

"Powerful? That's interesting." He grinned. "But yes, you've been receiving. Your body needed to rest."

"Wha-?!" My cheeks became flushed as I felt a sudden rush of heat wash through me. He was so smug, I felt so uncomfortable and embarrassed. How does he know what I'm thinking?

And that's when it happened again, the image of him pouring his blood into my mouth penetrated my mind, it felt so intimate and erotic. My body shivered and all I could think about was him.

His smirk deepened.

"Uhh.." I couldn't control my thoughts but he seemed to be able to read every single one of them.

Suddenly, two strong arms wrapped around me and pulled me into a bone-crushing embrace, my head was buried into his chest. I panicked and wriggled to escape his hold, but stopped just as I felt his hot breath upon my ear.

"What are you doing?!" I gasped.

"...Finally, ...I have you back." I heard him mutter, I froze entirely on the spot just as his lips formed a seductive, hungry grin, "My mate." He hissed before pressing his cold lips onto my neck causing my body to melt into his arms. I felt helpless.

"You.. y-you know me..?" I stuttered breathlessly as his mouth caressed my skin.

He stopped and pulled back to meet my eyes. "You say the exact same thing every time." He chuckled softly. "Let's just say that we go back a very long time, I will tell you all that you need to know when the time is right." He brushed his slender fingers over my face and smiled sincerely. "Come, there's a few people I'd like you to meet." He said in a gentle yet serious manner.

Why did his touch feel so natural and familiar? My stomach still felt weird, like butterflies rapidly fluttering.

I followed him out of the room into a dim stone corridor lit with wall candles, we then head up a spiralled flight of stairs which lead to a solid steel door. He opened the door as we continued to walk through a regal looking hallway, we traveled up various stairs and long corridors, this place was huge.

"This building belongs to Sir Integra and The Hellsing Organisation, I serve Sir Integra and a very long time ago I used to serve your parents. Me and the Hellsing organisation have been watching over you for a long time, you're a lot more special than you might think." He smirked softly. "And here we are, welcome to Hellsing."

We stopped in front of a thick wooden door, he then extended his wrist and knocked three times.

"Come in!" A voice bellowed from inside. my heart pounded, I didn't know what to expect.
