Chapter Two:
Integra looked out the car window forlornly as Walter drove up the drive to Buckingham Palace. "Do I really need to do this?"
Walter gave her a sympathetic smile, patting her hand in a fatherly way, "I'll be back at four to pick you up." Integra smiled back and opened the car door, smoothing out her sun dress. Behind her, the back seat door opened as Seras climbed out with Alucard not too far behind.
A butler bowed to the three, "This way please, the Queen has been expecting you."
Seras kept close to Alucard's side as they walked through the glamorizes halls, her wide eyes taking in the beautiful art work and tapestry. Alucard chuckled at his fledging with amusement, "Scared, little kitten?" he asked, laughing at the glare she gave him.
"Hello Sir Integra, you look wonderful." Came a voice that jolted Seras from her thoughts.
The Queen sat in an elegant chair in what appeared to be a study. To her right, on a love couch, sat an elderly man with medals all over his chest. Next to him sat a woman with blond hair and blue eyes.
Integra bowed to the queen, sitting on a couch opposite of the man and woman; Alucard and Seras standing on either side of her chair as if they were body guards. Integra observed the two, recognizing them as Sir Kingsly and his wife. But where was their notorious son, Howell?
As if reading their thoughts, Lady Kingsly shifted uneasily in her seat, "I'm sorry, Howell is running a little late. He should be here, soon." She moved to whisper to her husband, "I told him it was important this time." The man just sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly as the group settled to wait for the groom to arrive.
HOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWL
In a small town on the very corner of England, a man with silver hair and matching silver eyes; sneezed.
"Catching a cold, Howl?" asked the gruff-looking man walking next to him, amusement showing in his eyes.
Howell Kingsly, better known as Howl the Magician in this small town by the sea, laughed in response. He brushed back his silver hair from his handsome, youthful face. "Nah, it must be an omen. Someone is talking about me." He said, shifting his black-silver lined trench coat, "Hopefully, if fate is kind, it is a beautiful woman." He said, laughing.
The man laughed back, "So Howl, since you've finished fixing every ship, wheelbarrow, and house on this side of the island, how about coming over to my place and my girl will fix us something to eat?"
Howl smiled slightly, "I'm not sure, maybe I should just check if anyone needs anything else." Howl was a bit of a guardian to the village. He spent his time fixing things with his strange magic or just walking around the small harbor town.
The man waved his hand, "Nonsense, even a wizard needs to eat! I'm sure my wife has brunch on the stove…"
He couldn't finish, for Howl had just flung up his hands in horror, "OH DEAR!" He screamed, "Oh fates, you are indeed cruel!" he smiled slightly at the shock in his companions face, "I'm sorry, Fred, I need to decline! I'm late!" he then started to race by Fred, toward the main road where he parked his speed-bike.
Fred blinked, "Late?" he whispered after his retreating friend. No one knew much about Howl, but they could guess he was filthy rich. That meant his parents were strict. "Oh dear, hope he doesn't get into too much trouble this time." He muttered, continuing on to his home.
Meanwhile, Howl had made it to his bike, jumping on it, and racing toward London at top speed. The townspeople watched him go, waving.
HOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWLHOWL
Integra tapped her foot impatiently, "Tell me, is your son always this late, Sir Kingsly?"
The fellow knight chuckled, "You don't know the half of it…."
Suddenly, the sound of running feet came toward the study, along with the chorus of, "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late….."
Streaking past the entry of the study, Howl ran like the devil was after him, only to skid to a halt, sliding on the perfect floors, and racing inside. He leaned against the wall, looking up to see everyone in the room staring at him. "Um…" he said, raising a hand in silent hello, "….. hi everybody."
His mother sighed sadly, "Oh Howell, your late again."
"Actually," Howl chuckled, walking around the couch and sitting next to Integra, "In Japan, I would be right on time; you'd all just be early…"
The Queen smiled, "Well, now that you are here, Howell, I would like you to meet Sir Integra Hellsing." She said, nodding to Integra who was still frowning at Howl, "Sir Integra, this is Howell Kingsly."
Howl smiled, turning his attention to Integra, "Yah, I've heard of you. You have that organization that hunts vampires, right?" he asked, reaching out his hand shake Integra's, "Nice to meet you, and you can call me Howl."
"Howl…. Interesting name, magician…." Chuckled Alucard with amusement in his eyes, leaning in close to look Howl in the eye.
The Queen frowned, "Sir Hellsing, control your servant!"
But Howl, strangely, did not look afraid. He smiled back at Alucard, "You must be Alucard-sama. I've heard a lot about you as well." He leaned back in his seat, holding out his hand to Alucard, "It is an honor to meet you."
Alucard's eyebrow went up in amusement, "Really?" he asked, his smirk ever present as he leaned away from Howl, not taking his hand, "We will soon see if you are worthy enough to even to say my name, human."
Integra glared warningly at Alucard, "Alucard, stop it…"
"No, Sir Integra, he's right." Howl cut in, smiling as if Alucard had just named him the greatest person in the world, "He is, after all, older than all of us combined and has seen just as much on this planet. He deserves a little of our respect."
Everyone in the room had their shocked eyes on Howl except for Alucard, who just looked like he was a little fat boy who had spotted a big chocolate cake.
The Queen coughed slightly, "Well, how about we move on. So, we will have to decide the wedding day…"
"Wedding day? Whose getting married?" asked Howl, looking oblivious.
Integra looked shocked as she looked over at Howl's parents, who just looked ashamed, "You didn't tell him?"
"Didn't tell me what?" Asked Howl, looking over to give his parents a horrified look, "…what did you do?"
"Now Howell," his mother said in a soothing voice, "Where only doing what's best."
"oh no no no!" said Howl, getting up from the couch, his eyes now trained on Seras, "I mean, she's pretty but I barley know her name! And how in the world would a vampire and human get married? I mean, no offense." He said to Seras in an after-thought.
If Howl was a purple and singing the American national anthem, he would still get the same reaction. The Queen looked torn between laughing and coughing. Howl's mother and father looked like they would have died from embarrassment. Integra just stared at Howl in shock, wondering how she was going to live with such an idiot. Alucard was laughing his head off, leaning against the couch in fits. Seras's face had turned into the color of a ripe tomato, staring at Howl in shock; unsure what to say.
Finally, Howl's father broke the ice, "You idiot, your not getting married to the vampire!"
Howl smiled happily, "Yes! Fate is still nice to me!" he said, doing a small victory dance, "I'm still free!"
"…Your getting married to Sir Integra." Said the Queen, looking slightly amused.
Howl stopped his dancing, "….Say what?" he asked, casting a slightly dazed look at the Queen, who just smiled.
He looked at Integra, "But…. She doesn't want to marry…."
"Well, I don't have a choice, do I?" Integra said sourly, crossing her arms and glaring at Howl as if he was an enemy vampire.
"…. I see…." Howl said, looking like he was making a decision. After a few minutes, he started to walk toward the entry, "If you will excuse me, I shall now go to the bathroom and drown myself." He said, walking toward the bathroom, two butlers escorting him there.
Integra watched him go before turning to Howl's parents, "Has he always been like this?"
Howl's mother sighed, "He's just, a free spirit. We told him not to go to Japan, but he did it anyway. We told him to join the army like his brother, but he didn't."
Alucard chuckled, "I like him…. He'll be fun to play with." He said with an eerie smile on his face.
Suddenly, a butler came running into the room, "My Queen! We were escorting Mr. Kingsly to the restroom when he suddenly jumped out the window!"
The Queen stood in shock, "He did what? Is he alright?"
The butler frowned, "I think so, he just…. Floated down. As if some strange magic was stopping him from hitting the ground."
Integra frowned, she knew Howl was some sort of magician, she just didn't know what kind of magic he specialized in. Never the less, she had to stop him. "Alucard, I order to you bring Howell Kingsly back here, alive."
Alucard grinned evily and bowed, "Yes Master." He said, laughing as he disappeared in a whirl of shadows. "It should be fun…" his voice echoed.
