"Empty No More" –Chapter One: Home Sweet Home

--Anata Velendas Prov--
It has been a long while since the Hellsing Institution has been shut down and Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing was first captured and imprisoned from false judgment from participants of the round table, an organization sworn to protect her majesty, Queen of England.
After her imprisonment, Sir Integra escaped with the aid of some unknown source shortly after. Once she was found, she was put to death for violation of the law. Authorities looked high and low, they never found her accomplice though, and soon gave up, thinking that whoever it was had disappeared to another country.
So now, though the gigantic estate in which the Hellsing business had been using as lodging for their "knights" still stands, it is empty, never resold or even reused as a tourist attraction. Just standing along the street, it gives off a sort of foreboding and lonely look, for that is where I, Anata Velendas, stand as well, gazing with my hands around the wrought iron gates, wondering what could be inside.
I came to this place for just this reason, packed my bags and moved from the city life in New York, to the city life in England. Rumors had spread across the wired saying that the house had once more come to life, for sometimes, watchers of it could see lights flicker on and off as if it were haunted by the spirits of lost "knights". They feared that perhaps legends of there once being vampires in this place was true, and I could understand why they would come up with that in the first place. It was perfect.
Glancing around, I made sure that nobody was watching before I picked up my bags and one by one, threw them over the fence. I suppose that all this hadn't happened too long ago because the security cameras, though void of any power, still glowed in the night as if they really were working. But never the less, it was still a few years before my time, and that indeed, made it ancient.
Climbing over myself, I landed on the other side at a crouch and stood slowly, turning in a slow circle to take in my new world. This was what I had been searching for all my life, the mystery my soul needed to sleep in peace someday.
Smiling, I picked up my bags and strode beneath the first archway and down to the front entrance of the house. I was pretty sure I knew where everything was, I had done research on the layout and now felt as if I had been there all my life, it felt wonderful, as if coming home.
Stopping at the door, I raised a hand to pick up the knocker but laughed then, dropping it. "Who am I kidding, this place has been empty forever, who's going to answer?" Dropping to my knees, I pulled a hair pin from my bun of raven locks and began picking at the lock. 'Anna, I don't know what I would've done without you,' I thought silently in gratitude towards my best friend who had both helped me get the money to go on this little escapade and taught me the few tricks I would need to know while on it.
Hearing a soft click, I pulled back and pushed on the door handle, walking almost unheard into the lonely house. 'Thank you Mr. Talahaku.' A thought as well toward the man who had taught me silence and listening were better then the noise that surrounds our everyday lives and the chatter in which we add to it.
Looking around, my eyes found the sheet covered forms of furniture that lay around as I dropped my bags, closing the door behind me and pulling out a flashlight before beginning my exploration of my new home.

Finishing the bottom floor, I made my way through the maze of rooms back to the main entrance and sat down beside the double doors, leaning my back against the wall. Sighing, I stared up at the ceiling, sighting something before they reached the high beams, my attention snapped back downward toward a staircase that lead down beneath the floor.
"Could it be...," I asked the silence around me and stood up, walking toward the stair case. Looking down into the darkness bellow, I shivered as a draft came up to meet me. Though the awaiting darkness seemed almost unbearable, I took a deep breath and started making my way down the stair case.
"Mother," I whispered softly, beginning to shake as the dark void enveloped my body, "You always did say that curiosity killed the cat, let's just hope it doesn't kill this one."
Reaching the bottom, I reached a hand out to flip on the lights and finding the switch, I turned them on, relaxing when my eyes only saw an empty room before me. "Thank you," I breathed, lowering my head.
Turning, I walked back up the stairs, with my newly found sense of relief, yawning. 'I can finish this tomorrow, but now, I need to find somewhere to sleep.'

Unaware of the two figures that stood invisible in the down stairs room, they stared as the young woman made her way back up the stairs. Watching her ever since they had felt a presence at the front gates, the woman, who leaned against one wall with a bowed head, spoke softly to the other who sat within the shadows. "Should I get rid of her?"
A dark laugh answered her comment and a pair of red eyes flashed in the darkness, revealing a wicked grin as a masculine voice replied in a low tone, "Let us wait and see what happens."

I've recently become obsessed about the anime Hellsing after just recently finishing the anime series. I was so sad that it was so short, but hey, it was still good. So anyway, I'm going to try something new and write a Hellsing FanFic
