~Chapter One~
It was a lonely night for Lucielle Nightray. She had been wandering the streets of England since her most recent master had died. She was a nice old lady killed for housing Lucielle herself, Ms. Rutherford had left her entire estate to Lucielle- an act her family hated, Lucielle couldn't take anything else from the Rutherfords so she up and left. Lucielle thought of how she had first met Hallie, she had been stolen from her true master by Matthew Rutherford- Hallie's father- and promised a life of ease if she would protect his daughter from some muggers. Lucielle was slowing down just thinking of the man who had kept her alive for so much longer than she deserved. It was the sun rising that was causing her discomfort. She looked around for a place to rest long enough for the sun to set again. Unfortunately the closest place was a manor over the hill. She began to run for it. It was the Hellsing resident. She jumped the fence and looked for a low place- preferably a basement or a crawl space. There at the far west wall was a small window leading into a basement. Lucielle budged the window open and crawled in. She could only hope that the Hellsings would be gone for the day or at least until she was comfortable enough to go to sleep.
That wasn't going to happen. As soon as Lucielle closed the window to the basement the basement door opened to a woman with silver hair.
"Hello, is anyone there?" asks the woman.
"Yes, there is."
The woman takes the stairs two at a time and stops in front of Lucielle. "May I ask a why you are in my basement?"
"Yes, you may. Do to a ... rare condition I have to be inside during daylight. I only wish that I had some money to give to you for the use of your basement!" Lucielle said in her kindest voice.
"Well, if I may ask are you a vampire?" the woman asks. She was quite pretty, she had glasses and a suit on.
"My name is Lucielle Nightray. My last master went by the name of Hallie Rutherford. I am as much a vampire as you are a human!" Lucielle said.
"Well, then Ms. Lucielle it seems by some strand of fate we have found each other. You are in search of a master and I am in search of a servant. My name is Integra Hellsing and from now on you shall refer to me as your master."
