Alright. I am re-doing this story! That's right, the plot is ENTIRELY changed. So, it's got the same basic story line/characters. Verdi's gone...so's Roland. Other than that, everything;s the same. I apologize for the lack of updates....I just recently found my floppy disk back.

Heiress

Prolouge:Inheritance

Lady Aria Hellsing sat in her room, shredding paper. Every picture she had ever drawn, every piece of sheet music, every printed story; every tie to her old life. After all, if the people whom she'd held most dear were gone, why not the material things associated with them? She scratched her forehead, feeling the scabs break. Crimson blood ran down her face, sliding over her eyes.

Blood tears...bitter tears...

The young girl looked at herself in the mirror. She saw a twiggy albino teenager with a ruddy-stained. Under the bandages on her hands, the wounds had reopened. For some reason, her reflection angered her. Picking up the first solid object her fingers touched, Aria hurled it across the room. Shattered porcelain and shattered glass.

Why me?

Sighing, she slumped to the floor, settling among the ruins of her past. Her fingers traced the ripped edge of a photograph. Oh well, nothing in this house would be used again. In only a few hours, Aria Hellsing would move back to England...and everything would be forgotten.

Why am I leaving all I have left behind...?

So long, I've been waiting so long. Must I stay in this dank cell forever. Heh, that's a thought.

Eternity might've already passed. Maybe it's Doomsday. Maybe I'm all that's left here. Me...the house...and only the rats to keep me company. Have I really fallen this far?
