*This is the last time I'm switching. Again a few years have passed, Mina
is 17. Her mother has just died from lung cancer of all things.probably
didn't help much that she had been hit by a stray bullet either. *
The funeral for my mother was this morning; I'm in the mansion now, we may have had our differences, but I did love my mother. In the end I think she knew that with all the losses she had been through, her father, her men and then he butler and friend, there was always someone there for her to fall back on. She left, in my hands, the most powerful ally that the Hellsing Organization had, Alucard.
He's been hiding since she died last week, it's taken a week to organize the funeral proceedings. I find him now in his basement cell, looking pretty rough.
"You loved her didn't you?"
".."
"Alucard, you are in my control now, but I have no clue what I'm doing. She told me everything before she died, everything she knew, but I still am at a loss as to what I'm to do with you. Help me, please?"
"Help you? Your family has been the cause of my pain for many a hundred years and now you expect me to help you?"
"You worked for my mother, why can you not do the same for me?"
"You are not her, never will be."
"Then I am not her, but I am Hellsing and this organization is mine. If you will not help me run it than I suppose the most I can do is to bind you down here. Would you rather be sealed permanently, or help me?"
He stood, coming at me and pinning me to the wall. His eyes were like slate, cold and empty, almost sad.
"Get away Alucard. I am not your toy, get away from me."
He did as I asked, dropping to his knees on the floor and looking very pitiful for the most part.
"I will serve you as I have the rest of your family, but it will not be as it was with your mother. Things will run differently."
"I will dictate how they will run, not you."
