This is dedicated to CannotFathomAPenName for reviewing all my work and being generally a really nice person. Thanks. : D

Hellsing isn't mine.

Now, it happened that a wolf, a very cruel, greedy creature, also heard her as she passed, and longed to eat her for his breakfast, but he knew Hugh, the woodman, was at work very near with his great dog, and he was afraid they might hear Little Red Riding-Hood cry out if he frightened her, and then they would kill him. So, after following her a little way, he came up to her very gently and said, "Good day, Little Red Riding-Hood, where are you going?"

Integra turned on her heel as she passed the into the hallway. It was raining outside and the sound of the raindrops was almost deafening in the empty manor. She looked Alucard who was smirking in the darkness like a general creep. Integra held the tray closer to her body. He smiled. He leaned against the wall, feet crossed. He looked at her menacingly. His dark hair fell over his eyes and his long arms extended into a great bow.

"Where are you going little one?" he asked the girl before him.

Integra was thirteen, still shorter than him and still more afraid of him than anything. She tried not to show it, but surely he knew.

"I'm going to take Walter something to eat, because he's sick," she told him and held the tray out as if to show him. Alucard examined it's contents and smiled at her.

"Perhaps you would like to know a shortcut?" He smiled at her again. Such fear he smelled on her! He could take her now and finish her, be done with the family Hellsing!

"No. I don't need one, thank you," she insisted to him. She continued walking. "Besides, little girls shouldn't take shortcuts from big bad wolves."

Alucard fumed, but only for a moment. He smirked. She was smarter than she looked. He followed her in great strides, catching up in no time. Integra glared up at him. Her pajama's drug on the carpet behind her.

"If you insist upon coming then hold this," she handed the tray up the vampire and he smirked down at her. Integra wiggled her arms. She'd been carrying that heavy tray since the kitchens. She looked up at Alucard, who walked on. "Okay, I'll take it back now." Integra did not want the vampire to be the one to give Walter the tray she had taken the time to prepare.

Alucard handed the girl the tray and smirked at her. She continued her trek to Walter's bedroom, the vampire in tow. When they arrived the vampire entered through the door alone, leaving Integra standing outside. Walter rose an eyebrow at the vampire.

"Can I help you , Alucard?" the aged butler asked. He obviously had a case of the sniffles. Before the vampire could answer the door opened and Integra walked in. She ignored Alucard and put Walter's tray on his lap. The butler thanked her and sent her on her way so she wouldn't become sick as well.

Integra left with the vampire. Alone, hands empty now. Alucard looked down at the girl and she looked up. She ceased.

"If you were going to go into the room you could have opened the door for me! Must you always do things irrationally?" she demanded, hands on hips. He bent down to her level and looked her in the eyes.

"Do I look like a rational creature? Is a wolf a rational creature?" he asked and he moved his face closer to her. "I wanted you alone, little one," he admitted and she backed away.

"You truly are a wolf," she said and he smirked. "What reason do you have to keep me alone?"

"I would kill you and eat you."

Integra strode forward again and slapped him, much to his own surprise.

"My my, Vampire, what big ambitions you have," she hissed and turned on her heel again, walking away.

Alucard smirked and laughed.

"All the better to serve you with, Master."
