Disclaimer: I do not own Hellsing... It's sooo depressing... ( Sniff...)
AN: It is my first Hellsing fic here. It was previously written in my native language, so I had to translate it into English. And I would especially like to thank my English teacher - Kamil, who checked all mistakes in this translation. * Rei-chan bows in respect *

I would also like to greet my all friends! I love you all!! But the most I love my boyfriend - Lilith ^_^ * Rei throws kisses in the air *
Next Master of the Monster - Chapter 1 - Grandma

A white Rolls-Royce went through the property gate and pulled up in front of the house. On a huge porch stood three people: two men and a woman. They observed with curiosity a slim figure getting out the car.

A girl, at first sight seventeen years old, blue-eyed and freckled, had blond, medium lenght hair with red highlights. Her first glance fell on the residence. She opened her mouth in amazement. " Oh, goddess... It's amazing!" Suddenly her gaze fell on the woman. A cheerful smile appeared on the girl's face.

" Grandma!!" She flung her's arms around the elder lady, almost knocking her over. " You've got a great house!"

" It's nice to see you too, Integral." The woman smiled. She had icy-blue eyes, white hair pinned in a bun at the back of her head and she wore glasses. She was dressed in a well-tailored grey suit. Turning to young man in a butler's attire, she said " Spike, take my granddaughter's luggage to her room."

" As you wish, Sir Hellsing."

When they were going through an enormous hallway, the girl asked in a whisper. " Grandma... do you really want... ekhm...I mean, are you... seriously... you want me to become..."

" Yes, Integral, I want you to become my student, so that you can take over The Hellsing Institution in the future."

" And I will be... catching vampires?" The teenager's eyes shined.

Mrs. Hellsing hardly contained an outburst of laughter. " Why are you so fascinated?"

" Well, grandma... I think vampires are not so bad, are they? Ehh... I mean... Listen, I often play with my friends in a game called rpg. It's a kind of game, when you must impersonate a character which you invent with your own imagination. And we have been playing in 'Vampire' recently. It's sooo great..."

" Uhm, it seems to me that we will have a lot of work. My dear child, you don't understand anything, do you?" She grabbed Integral's arm and looked at her seriously. " Vampires have to be eliminated."

Integral flung herself vigoriously on a huge, oak bed with canopy. With delighted gaze she swept round the upholstered walls and heavy, wooden forniture. " My! Nothing but antiques! Wow! I've even got a screen and my own wardrobe! Grandma, you are wonderful!"

" I'm glad you like it. You'll be living here, after all." Sir Integral grinned. " And since you 'like' vampires so much... I will have a surprise for you. When you unpack your suitcases and eat supper, come to my study."

Mrs Hellsing was intend to leave the room, but she stopped in front of the door and turned round to her granddaughter. " Integral, if you need something, call Spike. From now on he is your personal butler."

" Personal... butler!?"

" Oh, don't be so... heheh... surprised. Today is the last day of your 'normal' life," said Grandma Hellsing ( with a sly smile.

" But... I'm feeling a little uneasy now..."

" Are you frightened?"

" No. I'm not afraid of anything!" Girl replied bravely.

" Very tired?" elder lady looked softly on her charge.

" Not much. I'm too excited, to be tired," said Integral, looking with curiosity round the office. Massive, antique desk and comfortable, leather armchair was the only forniture there. Portraits of personages of Hellsing family hung on the walls. " Grandma... didn't you feel lonely... in this room?" she asked shyly.

" ..." Mrs Hellsing shifted her eyes to the desk top. { Lonely? She really resembles me. How else could she know?}

" Oh, I'm sorry... It wasn't a polite question..."

She was interrupted by knocking on the door and Spike walked into the study, carrying a small suitcase. He put it on the desk in front of Integral.

" Your new toy, Missy." He smiled and winked at her.

" Eeeh...?" she flushed. " A toy?"

" Yes. Walther PPK. Brand new. Sir Hellsing used identical one, when she was at your age." He opened the box as he spoke.

Integral's eyes almost jumped out of their sockets. " You're telling me that I'm supposed to use it? To carry it with me everyday? To shoot with it?"

" That's why I gave it to you. Don't be so surprised. I know, it's not the first time, you've seen a gun. Can you tell me who won the first place in the National Shooting Contests?" Sir Hellsing was amused by the girl's reaction.

" There's nothing I can hide from you, grandma," laughted Integral. " I don't want to boast about this, but shooting works out fine for me. I think I got it from you."

" Starting tomorrow, you will be spending some time on our riffle-range, under supervision of... uhm... instructor. Now, that you have come to this house, you can never feel safe." " Oh... Grandma... it's sounds rather strange..."

" What do you mean by "Oh"? You train to take over The Hellsing Institution. You will command hundreds of soldiers and carry out missions. You never know what will happen. That's why guns are so necessary for us..." Sir Hellsing turned her gaze at the door. " Ah, I see, that one of your instructors has already come."

Integral turned around. Near the door stood young woman dressed in a blue uniform. She was slim, big-breasted and had red, short hair.

" This is Captain Victoria Celes. She's a hunter in our Institution."

" A hunter?" The teenager was surprised. " Helloo, I'm Integral Mayers Hellsing" she reached out to the woman.

Victoria came closer and shook Integral's hand. Two snow-white fangs flashed between her lips, when she smiled.

Integral opened her mouth in amazement. " Wow! You're a vampire! But, but... We're eliminating vampires, supposedly." She looked with doubt into Victoria's red eyes.

" Certainly, we eliminate - scums, arificial vampires - freaks, that have no control of their deeds. Vampire carcrass, If I can say. And, of course, their creators. I am... hahah... an aristocrat among our circle. That is, I have blood of a certain aristocrat in my vains." Captain Celes smiled.

" That's great! I think, we will become friends very soon. You dont't look much older than I." Integral glanced at the woman's pretty face.

" Hahahahah!" laughted Victoria. " Well, an eternally young body is doing it's job. Honey, I am almost 59 years old."

" ..." The teenager was lost for words.

" Captain Celes, you're in a better shape than I. What face cream do you use?" joked Sir Hellsing.

" Heheheh... Grandma... And what about this second instructor?"

" That's a good question. Victoria, where's your Master?"

" Aah... frankly... I don't have the foggiest idea... went out somewhere?" The ex-policewoman was embarrassed.

" He does what he wants, as usually. No respect at all." Mrs. Integral looked very annoyed. ( In other words she was pissed off.) " He might learn more about good manners."

" Sir Integral, please, don't be so angry. Maybe he forgot or went... to get something to eat?" Victoria tried to calm down the elder lady.

" Then why didn't he go to the kitchen? He has at least twenty packes in the fridge." Sir Integral Wingates Hellsing got much more irritated.

" Grandma! Don't be mad. I will meet him another time."

" Of course you will. You have no choise." { Damn bloodsucker! He's mocking me again. What a jerk!} She lighted a cigar.

" Ok, and how will I know, if it is he?"

" If you see him, you will know it stright away. Such a "beauty" in a hat. Heheheh... He's my pal." Spike was contented. "... Oh, please forgive my manners, Sir Hellsing..." he started to explain himself, when he found, what he just said.

" Don't worry, my dear. You know, that I forgive you everything. All in all, I'm nearly like your aunt." Elder lady was smiling.

Teenager looked questioningly at Victoria, who leaned towards her.

" Spike is a grandson of Walter, Sir Integral's former butler, who was like a father to her."

" Jeez... it's too complicated for me... How strange..."

" All right Integral. It's all for today, I suppose. Time to sleep." Sir Hellsing was tired.

" But grandma..." The girl protested.

" Please, dear child, all of us have had a very tiring day, so don't whine... You will find out everything in a proper time. Tomorrow is your last day of vacation. You must rest, because on Monday you start school"

" What?! School?"

" Why are you so surprised? You thougt that you would be loafing around all year? You want to graduate and get your High School Diploma, don't you?" Grandma looked at granddaughter with astonishment and put out a cigar.

" I... thought... that you would teach me about everything..."

" It's nice, Integral, that you depend on me, but you must finish your high school. Do you plan some kind of studies afterwards?"

" Of course I do."

" So, there's nothing to talk about. I hope, that the public school I attended, will be very good for you. And, of course, lectures and learning with me."

" ..." Integral was depressed.

" I've told you, these are the last days of your normal life. But you've just wanted it, havent't you?" Sir Hellsing left the office, smiling nastily.
