Chapter One

A sixteen year old Integra walked out to the shooting range on her estate where Alucard was practicing with his new gun, the ARMS .454 Casull Auto. The night was unseasonably warm for October as she enjoyed the wind blew through her long blond hair. She stopped behind Alucard and he stopped firing. His eyes moved towards her direction before he turned his head to smile at her. He took off his hat and bowed to her letting his long raven hair fall over his shoulders.

"Good evening, Master."

"Good evening, Servant."

Walter walked from the mansion balancing a serving tray of the evening earl grey tea with one hand and a metal brief case in the other. He sat the items down on a table just beyond the vampire and his master. Alucard stood up and put back on his hat.

"Tea, ma'am?"

Integra kindly rejected the offer with a wave of her hand. Alucard turned to Walter holding his gun in the air.

"Walter, this gun is superb! It is a great improvement from the Tommy gun from the war."

"I'm glad you approve. Integra, the repairs of your gun are finished."

Walter opened the metal brief case and revealed her Walther PPK pistol. She wrapped her fingers around the handle. She turned to face the paper targets across the field. She turned off the safety and took aim. Integra fired hitting the target dead center in the head. Alucard smiled as Integra turned on the safety.

"Beautiful shot! May I, Master?"

Alucard showed her his gun as he asked. She nodded to him. He turned, took aim, and fired six shots creating a smiley face with his bullets around Integra's shot. Alucard's signature laughter echoed through the night air showing how impressed he was with himself. Integra quickly turned around and pointed her gun mere inches away from Alucard's face.

"What the hell are you laughing at? How dare you try to upstage your master?"

Integra's index finger rested firmly against the trigger. Alucard was taken aback and bowed his head to her.

"I apologized, Master. I was just having a bit of fun."

Silence had fallen among them as Alucard waited for her silver bullet to pierce through the flesh of his face. When there was no shot fired, he lifted his head to find that Integra had a wide grin across her face. She began to laugh as she lowered her firearm.

"Did you really believe that I was going to shoot you? Alucard, you should know me better than that."

"I thought I did but apparently I didn't notice when you developed a sense of humor."

"Shut up, Alucard!"

Integra turned to face the paper targets. She stood still as she began to laugh again. Her laughter became heavy and loud as her hands began to shake with the weight of the gun. Walter walked up behind her with caution as this behavior was unusual for Integra.

"Integra, are you all right?"

"Are you questioning me, Walter?"

Integra quickly turned and rushed to the table. She slammed her gun against the metal brief case and walked towards the doors of the mansion. Alucard moved to Walter.

"Walter, something is wrong…"

"Alucard!"

Integra stopped in her tracks and turned around. She rushed in her walk and stopped inches away from Alucard.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to read my mind? I have continuously asked you but still you disobey me! I order you to…"

Integra slammed the back of her left hand against the palm of her right with each word but then tears began to roll down her cheek. She then lifted her hands to the sides of her face and covered her ears.

"Leave me alone! Both of you leave me alone!"

Integra fell to her knees. Walter knelt down next to her as Alucard stood over her. Walter placed a hand on her shoulder but she pulled away from him. Integra turned away from Walter and brought her hand to her stomach as she tried to hide the sudden pain.

"Walter, get help…"

Integra whispered to him before she leaned forward and vomited. Walter got up and ran into the mansion.

"Master?"

Integra placed her hands on the ground to support herself as she looked up at Alucard whose form created a haunting shadow over her. She pushed herself to get up from the ground and tried to stand firm. She looked at him sharply trying her best to hide the weakness in her limbs.

"I believe I feel…"

Integra's eyelids began to blink uncontrollably as her knees gave away. She began to fell back as Alucard rushed to catch her. She fell into his arms and her body shook violently against him.

"Walter, hurry!"

Alucard's voice unnaturally echoed through the air as he laid Integra on the ground. Alucard watched in horror as Integra's body continued with the violent tremors.
