Not Another Girl (Hellsing x Reader)

George was all alone. That was nothing new to her, she was often left alone. George just lay there staring out of the bars of her playpen. She just looked up at the moon. There were no stars out tonight, just the moon. Was it lonely too? Did it miss having the stars to talk to?

With the moon up, Alucard and Seras were gone. Tears welled up in George's eyes. Alucard had explained to her why she was alone all the time, so she understood; but that didn't mean that she had to like it. George cried out, twice; but no one came to her. Walter and Integra must be busy too. George sniffed and cried. She missed Walter's smile and Seras' stories.

But tonight, like so many others, there was work to be done. Tonight, like so many others, George was going to be alone. As George cried, she hugged L-card. He was her only friend and companion. He was the only one that was always there for her. George hugged him harder and emptied her tears into his chest.

Suddenly, George heard something. It made a squishy sound. George looked up. And through tear stained eyes, she saw something lying on the ground just outside of her playpen. It was a mound of black "jelly". George stared at it and it moved... or tried to. The little black "jelly" mound had no legs.

George concentrated on it, really really hard. Soon, the little mound of black "jelly" grew four tiny little paws. George tilted her head in curiosity and reached out to it. As she did, the little "jelly" mound waddled over to her. George touched it and the little "jelly" mound shivered under her touch. George smiled at it and began to stroke it.

"Prieten." thought George. <friend>

The little black "jelly" mound lifted one end up to George. So George imagined it the head and she gave it a wagging stubby tail. George giggled as she watched the stubby little tail wag back and forth; but now George was tired, very tired. She reached out and pulled the little black "jelly" mound close to her. She used L-card as a pillow and held the little black "jelly" mound in her arms. With George's gently breathing, soon both of them were asleep.

Alucard morphed through the wall and into George's room. He had left Seras to clean up the rest of the ghouls alone, as he went to check on George. You see Alucard had felt something, something wrong. It wasn't George's pain of being alone. It was the fact that George was crying, and then if felt like someone had pulled something from him; like someone pulling a hair from off your head. And then her crying just stopped. Alucard was worried.

Alucard looked in on George and found her sleeping. He watched her sleep, she was fine. Then he noticed what she was clutching. Alucard smiled at her.

"You're an amazing little human George." said Alucard, picking up the little black "jelly" mound. "It is a very rare thing indeed for a human to surprise me twice."

Alucard examined the little mound. It was definitely part of him. Alucard smirked at it. George's "powers" were growing. She had called herself a familiar. It was a pathetic little "jelly" mound no bigger than four inches long and two inches high, but it was definitely a familiar.

"So you answered her call." said Alucard, adding more of himself to it. "Then best you guard her well and keep her safe."

Alucard eyes glowed vampiric red as the "shadow" puppy came to life. The shadow puppy looked at Alucard with six little red eyes and barked its understanding. Alucard placed the puppy back into George's playpen. The puppy crawled over to George and nuzzled her face. Without even waking up, George pulled the puppy close to her and held it tightly. Happy to be beside his master, the puppy let out a little yawn and went to sleep.

Alucard chuckled to himself as he remembered a time when he too had come to Integra as a dog. Integra had been fifteen years old at the time. And though she longed for human friendship, as the master of Hellsing she had no time for friends and the fun they presented. It was at this time in her life that he chose to become a big black Doberman pincher for her. She relished his companionship. She talked to him and took him on long walks. She even used him as a pillow as she read poetry by the fireplace.

Everything seemed fine until she found out that her master vampire and her beloved Morphie were one and the same. Then she banned him from every taking his dog shape again. However, he still remembered sleeping at the foot of his master's bed. He remembered how soundly she slept safe in the knowledge that her beloved dog protected her. He also remembered Integra's cold feet. He chuckled.

"Are your feet cold George?" asked Alucard, as he softly stroked her back. Suddenly, Alucard felt Integra calling him. "Sleep well George." he whispered.
