November 23

Dearest little sister Anika,
I want to apologize to you for the trouble that I am causing, as Father will now wish for you to step up and take my place as the heiress to the Hellsing Organization. I cannot continue with my training, as I have found out certain information that will keep me from being a pure blooded heir and master of the Hellsing Organization's vampires.
My mother was truly Integral Wingates Hellsing, but as you have known about me growing up with a second sight to sense out all of the creatures we hunt, there is a very good reason as to why I was gifted with such talents.
I am half vampire, half human hybrid.
Each and every child that is born of this sort of union has unique powers and tendencies, as you will find in your studies. Thankfully, I have received more human traits than vampiric.
I never have experienced bloodlust as my kind does thankfully, but I do not wish to be in the service of the Organization when this new demonic plague comes upon my senses, causing me to hunt out sources to quench my desires. It would not be safe to be around me when this occurs, so I will go in to seclusion, far away from the family and the world.
Now, I'm not stupid enough to kill myself, nor could I if I tried. My tendencies lead me to have regenerative properties, so even if I'd cut my head off, a new one would grow back in its place. Scary, isn't it?
Remember when you asked why there was tomato juice on the table about a month ago? That wasn't tomato juice dear Anika, but blood from a wound that had healed itself when I tried to slit my wrist to prove to myself that I could never be killed.
But dear Anika, I'm leaving you my prized possessions, my books on vampiric lore and legends, all of the books being true, a my silver handgun that Walter gave me for my fourteenth birthday, and the photograph of you and me at Oma's farm with our horses when we were younger and times were much more simple and pleasant.
Now that I have pledged my belongings to you, I must ask that you do not come looking for me, nor do you tell Father or the vampires to search for me. In fact, I want you to go to the house where the vampires teach me instead of going to your regular classes, as they need to instruct you with how to lead the Organization now. Show them this note, for they already know not to harm you. Please do not let any of them search for me, especially Argetni. I do not want to see her ever again.
Please do not allow yourself to fall in love with the idea of the vampire, or any of the vampires in your service, but until the other two accept you for what you shall become, stay with Seras Victoria, the strawberry blond weapons master of the group. She is the most human, and does not hold any true attachment to the family, just to her master Alucard.
Alucard will most likely just be amused that I chose you to be my successor, but he will be more amused with the reaction of his bride, fledgling, and master. (I know Anika, their relationship is confusing, but you will see that it makes perfect sense when you can spend time around these creatures.) He will try to kill you, he will show you visions of the hellish life he could create for you, but as he is bound to the family, he could never expect to remain free if he upsets the head of the house, so if Alucard bothers you, tell father to lock him in the dungeons.
Argetni will be the most difficult to win over, as she has a temper of a wild animal when it comes to matters concerning me. Keep trying to convince her that it was MY idea to leave Hellsing, not Father's, not Lillith's, and most importantly, it was not your decision to take control of the Organization.
I am certain that you will be the most noble, honorable leader of Hellsing that has ever been, for you are quite in touch with the real world, not just the world of the undead. Marry your boyfriend early so he can become accustomed to your job, and if he does not accept you as a vampire hunter, you will be better off without him.
I wish you the most luck with your new career sister, and I pray that you will rise to the occasion, doing the best that you can no matter what.
Remember, do not come after me. I have learned how to kill vampires as powerful as ours through my blood, and I am carrying the technology to do so.

Never forget that I love you

Devries Hellsing
