Been a while, ne? But I've made up for the absence of updates by making this chapter hellaciously long! So read, enjoy, review! *hugs* Mew

May 8th

Though it has been ages since I have written in my private journal, this entry shall make up for my shortcomings.
As mentioned previously, I began looking through journals written by Hellsing and Harker family members. Though most of the journals were just daily logs of how many vampires or preternatural beings were tracked down and eliminated, two journals held a prominent position in my mind, and the information about regenerators contained in their pages was astounding.
These were the journals written by Mina Harker and the Count Dracul himself.
Mina's contained many suspicious and descriptions of how her first son, my Great-Great-Uncle Quency, never could be injured in play or even in the First World War where he had been brutally beaten and even shot by German troops. He was a pale child compared to her other two, having suffered terrible sunburns and other skin rashes when he entered any brightly-lit area, but unlike most other people who suffer burns, he would return to the same pale state that he was before, instead of staying tanned. This led him to wear dark, fully covering clothing and shaded glasses any time he ventured out of doors.
Mina also stated that her son's eyes were difficult to describe. Had she never seen truly red eyes, she would have called his translucent yellow- green eyes those of a demon. His affinity toward religious life made her give up the demon theory, and the first son of Jonathan and Wilhelmina Harker became a minister with an affinity toward the ikons of Catholicism.
Had I just found Mina's journal, I would have just assumed her eldest child was incredibly fortunate to have never suffered even a minor injury or illness, and that his eye color could be attributed to the agents of chemical warfare, as she only noted the strange coloration after his return from war. Even his photosensitivity could be attributed to porphyria, since though his parents were British citizens, Mina's mother was Bavarian, and that disease is common in peoples of Bavarian and other similar ancenstries.
I would have been content with all those explanations- had I not found the Transylvanian Count's journal hidden in the library dust, covered and forgotten throughout the years.
In my studies during my youth, I had asked Integral's father about the "Sons of Dracula". Sir Hellsing insisted that his brother, my father, was filling my head with nonsense and that those of a vampiric nature could never reproduce sexually, but only through the gradual death and tainting of one's blood could a new vampire be created.
Since Teggy is pregnant, we know that vampires can reproduce sexually.
But I have strayed from my point. Vladmir Dracul, Norse-Russian by birth, sired five children in his life. Sergei, his first son, was born before his transformation. When Sergei was slaughtered by the barbarians that began the war which brought about the fall of Kiev, Vladmir was in deep pain, and while distraught, he met a Nordic traveler with "the most pale hair, fair skin, and lavender eyes" he had ever seen. This stranger is the one who made Dracul the vampire. But unlike the way that is considered standard for a vampire to be created, the Norseman instructed Vladmir to kill him by means of decapitation, and then to eat his internal organs if he wanted to gain more power than he could ever imagine as either a human or fledgling. This is how the 500 year old Dracula could possess the strength and knowledge of an older being, giving him the illusion of being much older.
His countess wife had been pregnant at this time and bore him a daughter Ileyana, whom was raised mortal and died at the age of sixty- seven.
The next three children are the ones of interest to my studies. Alucard (this is not our pet Alucard), born in 1452, had a full vampiric mother that was of Oriental descent, Quincy Harker, born 1884, is the Great- Great Uncle in my ancestry, and in 1932, Alexander, a bastard born to an Irish whore that he left for dead, but the stubborn woman lived, bore the child, and sent him in to the seminary.
It is the young Alucard and Alexander that I wish to discuss.
Vlad Dracul's description of himself is that of a sharp featured blond haired blue-turned-red eyed man of almost two meters in height. His description of his son Alucard was a short, dark haired, hook nosed, almond eyed young man of a reserved nature.
In the published and private versions of Mina's journal, the records of her encounter with the Count describe the vampire that she met to be more like the son Alucard rather than the father Dracula.
May it also be noted that the ink used in Dracul's journal switched to a common brand used in England about the time Mina noted the illness of her comrade.
In short, I feel that the son "Alucard" masqueraded as the father and was killed by Abram van Hellsing, et. al.
This could only mean that the Alucard of today is truly Vlad Dracul.
I mentioned this to Teggy, and she just glared in disgust.. But what more can be expected from a demon?
The other son's birth supports my theory, as does the existence of a journal by the Count. Alexander is the regenerator that is the Vatican's weapon against the dark forces.
I will ask Father Anderson of his early life tonight to see if he will reveal his true identity.
