Now ONWARD TO THE BATTLE FIELD!

"Wow, really, Professor Trevor and Miss Helsing? Together?" Liz asked, she was told almost immediately after she had awoken what had happened.

"It seems so; when the vampire Isabella shouted it out Helsing got extremely mad over it." Abe said.

"Geeze, I missed out on a lot of stuff didn't I?" Liz said putting her hand to her head, Abe nodded.

"So Red, what do you think about this?" Liz then asked, Hellboy was sitting in the corner of the room, he hadn't said a single thing since they had returned from seeing Helsing take off the girl' head. He looked up.

"I just don't see how pops could fall for a woman like that; she's conceited, short tempered, conniving, and she's evil, I'm tellin' ya Liz you're lucky you weren't down there when the brat and professor left." Hellboy growled, "She was merciless! The kid didn't even see it coming."

"Red's right, it was a tad over kill to rip off the girl's head." Abe said.

"And yaknow what really ticks me off? The fact that pops didn't even trust us enough to even tell us about it!" Red shouted.

"Maybe the professor had his reasons for not telling us Red." Liz said, Abe nodded agreeing with her, but Hellboy wasn't buying it.

"Or maybe, they really weren't; the old hag's a vampire after all. I bet she just put him under some sort of trance." Red shouted standing from his chair.

"Now Hellboy that is enough!" Professor Trevor's voice shouted from behind the big red monkey. Hellboy turned, they all turned to see the professor standing in the doorway.

"Pops, she's a vampire; from what we know they're known for tricking humans like that." Hellboy said, trying to defend his case.

"I enough. What happened between Helsing and I, was nothing like that." Professor Trevor said, "I never told you because Helsing didn't want this to happen."

Hellboy was silent, not exactly the reaction he was expecting.

"Helsing was, and still is a very good person, whether she be vampire or not." Professor Trevor went on, "And perhaps you should learn from this experience."

And with that Professor Trevor left, leaving Hellboy to dwell on his behavior.

"So…you…and the old man…you guys rutted?" Amick asked. Helsing sighed; she would have preferred him to just be angry than ask questions like a child. Speaking of which, Chase had since disappeared from the area. Helsing figuring he was somewhere in the castle sighed and rolled over on her bed.

"Yes, Trevor and I rutted. Honestly master Amick what kind of question is that?" she asked, narrowing her eyes at her master.

"Just making sure; so is that all you did…or…do?" Amick asked, Helsing groaned.

"We don't do it anymore if that's what you're asking, it's strictly professional between Professor Trevor and I." she said, rolling over again.

"So, wonder how big Red and his group are takin that news." Amick said, Helsing hid her face in her pillow.

"Not well; Hellboy seem to forget I can hear everything that goes on in this place." She said, "He's not being too kind."

"Oh well, what're you gonna do right?" Amick asked, Helsing raised her head from the pillow, and cocked an eyebrow.

"You know you're staining that bed right?" he then said, Helsing looked down, she was still covered in the vampire woman's blood. She huffed.

"Stupid little pest, she's lucky she lived that long…" he voice trailed off as she felt a presence by the door. "Abe sapien was it?"

There was a pause, then the door gave way to Abe, who looked a bit surprised she knew it was him.

"Don't be too surprised; Hel's connected to everything in this castle, she knows what's going on everywhere." Amick said, Abe nodded.

"So what did you want?" Helsing growled, narrowing her eyes. "Believe me when I say I'm not too happy at the moment."

"Right sorry. I was just curious, why were you so protective of this secret? Between the professor and you?" Abe asked, Helsing rolled over turning her back to him.

"You're smart; smarter than Hellboy that's for sure. When it comes to the love affairs of a human and a vampire; people are always quick to say the vampire bewitched them." She said, hugging the pillow tightly.

"The men in our collage group were very quick to do so, when they found out the truth." she mumbled. "Leave now; both of you, I want to wash this filth off of me."

A few hours later everyone had gone to sleep, it was late into the night. Helsing was out of her room stalking her home, as a cat no doubt, when she saw Hellboy sneaking into her kitchen again. She sighed, then padded her way down the stairs, and into the kitchen.

'Man this thing eats a lot.' She thought to herself, as she jumped up onto the counter and meowed. Hellboy jumped and turned.

"This woman's a crazy cat lady, she's got more cats than I do." Red mumbled. Helsing sneakered.

"How many times are you going to fall for that prank?" she asked, sitting and placing her tail over her paws. Hellboy growled.

"You, are a real pain." He said, Helsing nodded.

"So you've said, about nineteen times today." She said, "You seem to forget, Hellboy, that I hear everything that happens in this house."

"Good then you already know how I think of you and my old man." Red said, Helsing's ears folded.

"You're a very cruel person; not every vampire bewitches a human to be their lover." She growled, Red snorted.

"No, but they do if they want blood. Bloodsucker." He said, the fur on the back of Helsing's neck rose, as she let out a low growl.

"I would no sooner bite Trevor than I would my own master!" she hissed, "I love Professor Trevor; unlike most humans he's understanding of us monsters! You, Hellboy, are proof of that!"

"Oh why bother? You had your opinion of me when you found out about me, you won't change. None of you will." She mewed, then jumped off the counter. "and stay out of my pantry! You don't need to be eating anything in there!"

Hellboy snorted again, turning from the cabinets to the pantry door. He opened it, seeing a years' worth of human food. His jaw dropped, since when do vampires eat human food? There was a low giggling sound, Hellboy turned seeing a white haired boy, staring up at him. He grinned.

"secret's out."

"Chase, honey how long are you going to hide from me?" Helsing asked the next morning, she couldn't feel his presence in the house, he was still on the property however, that much she did know.

"Having troubles with Chase?" Liz asked, Helsing jumped not realizing she was there.

"Oh, hello there firebug." She said turning to her, "Yes, ever since yesterday's little thing with the Crimson Order, he's been hiding from me."

"I'm sorry about Red, he just doesn't know how to deal with stuff like that." Liz said, Helsing's eyes shifted the wall.

"It's nothing new. People always think that way of vampires, it's nothing I didn't expect." She said, "Anyhow, we now know the location of the Crimson order; shall we hurry and find the others? My master is just dyeing to go and kill the lot of them."

Liz nodded and the two made their way to the front room, where Amick, Abe, and Hellboy where standing. Hellboy gave Helsing a glare, Helsing paid no mind, then Amick and Abe turned to Helsing with a look of concern.

"What's up? Something wrong?" she asked, then a familiar smell entered her nose. "What's happened? Why do I smell grave soil and blood?"

Amick put a hand behind his head, and began rubbing the back of his neck. Then Abe took a step to the side. Helsing's eyes went wide as she stared at a child sized coffin there was blood writing on the lid.

"Helsing, what's wrong? What's that mean to you?" Liz asked, Helsing said nothing.

"Would you stop your crying and just start explaining!" Hellboy demanded, Helsing shook her head, she hadn't realized that tears were falling.

"I'm sorry, I can't. I have to go!" she shouted, turning into her cat form and running away.

"What the hell is going on here? Why do vampires have to be so dang secretive. Stupid blood suckers." Hellboy mumbled. Amick gave him a look.

"Alright you listen to me, Big Red; I've been pretty tolerant of the way you've been acting toward Hel, but this is the last straw." He shouted, grabbing Hellboy by the shirt—not that it did anything to Hellboy as far as intimidation went—he glared up at Red.

"These, words are in Romanian. Amick do you know any Romanian?" Abe asked, defusing the tension between him and Hellboy. Amick Let go of him.

"No, I don't. I think the only one here that speaks it is Hel, and her mind's gone to hell right now." He said.

"Why what's in here?" Liz asked, Amick sighed looking down at the little coffin.

"Hel's baby boy." He said. Hellboy gaped.

"Helsing had a little boy?" Liz asked, Amick nodded.

"And a baby girl, but they both died not long after she gave birth to them. Given Helsing's condition they couldn't survive outside of her womb." He explained.

"What's Helsing's condition? What's wrong with her?" Abe asked, Amick reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette, and lighting it.

"You want to know that ask her." He said, "I'm done talking about her, I'm going to go put this back in its grave where it belongs."

"Mum. Mum are you alright?" Chase asked, he had felt his master's aura had fainted a bit while he was hiding. He decided it best to return, Helsing had locked herself in her room and wasn't coming out.

"What happened?" Chase asked, when professor Trevor came up the stairs.

"I'm actually not sure myself." He said, then knocked on the door to Helsing's room.

"Get away from my door! BOTH OF YOU!" she growled from the other side, chase jumped. "I will come out when I am good and ready!"

Helsing was leaning her door, she was crying. Those punks thought they could sneak onto her property and disturb her family graves. If Dracula himself were alive he would have slaughtered the lot of them.

"Helsing…" Amick's voice came in.

"Go away, I've told them already, I will come out when I am ready." She said. There was a silence for a while.

"I reburied them Hel, you don't have to worry about that." Amick then said, Helsing let out a low growl.

"I'll kill them all for this." She mumbled.

"Well you can't if you're stuck in there." Amick said, Helsing sat up. He was right, nothing ever got done when one was sitting around sulking. She opened the door grinning like mad.

"Well I see, Hel's back." Amick said, taking a puff from his cigarette.

"Let's go vampire hunting." Helsing said.
