Alucard reflected on Walter's words. He felt like someone had just ripped out his dead heart and trampled it. He disappeared in a puff of smoke and curled out under the door.

"Alucard," Walter cried as the vampire disappeared.

"Where did he go," Elizabeth asked.

"Go to your mothers room," Walter said, "He's probably there."

"Me," Elizabeth asked, standing, "Why me?"

"You are his new master," Walter said, "You must know about Alucard. He was one of Integra's favorite secret weapons. You should know who is working for you. I shall be working to clean up this mornings chaos." Walter left the study and held the door open for Elizabeth. She straightened her hair and brushed off her skirt. She walked into her mother's bedroom and found Alucard leaning over the bed. Running a hand along her mother's hair, blood tears in his eyes. He knew she was there, but did not acknowledge her presence. Elizabeth closed the distance between her and the bed, standing opposite to Alucard, looking at her mother.

"How," the vampire choked out.

"I think my brother killed her," Elizabeth said, "Lucas wanted the business, mother would never have given it to him. He killed her to get to me."

"Did I kill him yet," Alucard asked, his voice harsh.

"You ripped his head off," Elizabeth said matter-of-factly, "He was the one you had by the throat in the basement." A silence hung in the air for several minutes. "Thank you."

Alucard looked up from Integra to see her daughter, "For what?"

"Saving my life," Elizabeth said, "And for caring. I don't think anyone else besides you, me and Walter would care if she wasn't here anymore, the guards were all bribed by Lucas, and the queen hasn't contacted Integra in months." Alucard looked at the young intruder, and truly looked at her. She was older then Integra had been when they first met, and she seemed to have the same strength Integra did. She was almost Integra's clone, all but her red hair.

"You look like her," Alucard said, looking back down at Integra, "You look so much like her." Elizabeth said nothing. "I am going to awake Police Girl." He started to phase though the floor, until Elizabeth's question halted him.

"You mean the other vampire," she asked. Alucard stopped, and got back up on the floor.

"What about her," Alucard asked.

"She was freed," Elizabeth said, "A few years ago. She and Pip retired and left the country. She was freed under vows and a contact to blood drives all over the world. I don't know what happened to her after that." Alucard sighed, he felt so alone. He walked past Elizabeth and looked at her, anger festering in his chest.

"I'm holding her death as your fault," Alucard drawled, "The moment you have an heir of age, I'm going to kill you in the slowest possible way." Elizabeth stared at him, her mouth agape. A smoldering cigar in her hand, she would later say that that was the moment that changed her life forever. "I'll be in my room." He phased silently though the floor, leaving Elizabeth alone.

"Walter," Elizabeth called, he appeared soon, "Make sure Integra is moved before tomorrow morning. I want her buried within the week, don't invite any of the other knights. I want this to be a private funeral. Lucas will be given a traitor's grave, unmarked except by that of shame."

"He was a Hellsing," Walter said, looking at Elizabeth, "Should he not be placed…"

"Were my orders unclear Walter," Elizabeth asked, her eyes blazing under her glasses. Walter almost staggered back, he was looking at Integra, the Iron Maiden reincarnated.

"No," Walter said stiffly, in the manner he would have addressed Integra when he was displeased, "Sir Hellsing." He turned on his heel and left, closing the door quietly behind him. Elizabeth went back to the study and took out her mothers contact book. She found the extension for the palace and dialed the number, and official letter should be sent, but too many things had happened and Elizabeth couldn't deal with that. She read out her access code and was plugged into the queen chief of staff.

"Hello," he asked, "What is it Sir Hellsing?"

"This is the younger Hellsing," Elizabeth answered, "Please inform the queen that Sir Integra Hellsing was murdered this morning and that her murderer was killed attempting escape. I am now the head of Hellsing and will wait for her convenience to be knighted."

"Who is this," the man asked, suspecting a prank call.

"Elizabeth Integra Hellsing," she replied, "I have much to do, could you please keep this quiet and inform the queen?"

"Yes," the man stuttered.

"An official letter will be sent after the funeral," Elizabeth said, "I felt the queen had the right to know first. Also inform her that Lucas Michael Hellsing is dead. Thank you." Elizabeth hung up and looked down the list. The next number she needed was at the other end of the book. She dialed the number and waited.

"Hello," the woman answered.

"Seras," Elizabeth asked, "It's Hellsing."

"What is it," Seras' tone had changed rapidly, "What's happened?"

"Integra's been murdered," Elizabeth said, she was about to continue when Seras cut her off.

"What," she screamed, "How? Who killed her?"

"Calm down Seras," Elizabeth heard Pip say, "Now, what's happening down there? Is this Elizabeth?"

"Yes," Elizabeth replied, "Integra was killed early this morning. The funeral is going to be next week, I thought you would like to know."

"You still haven't said who," Pip said, "Could you tell us, Seras is going for Harkkannon."

"Lucas did, and he's dead," Elizabeth said, "Alucard killed him. I'm sending a plane for you two, where are you."

"We'll be in Sydney," Pip said, "We'll be ready." Elizabeth hung the phone up and called Walter in.

"Send the jet to Sydney to get Pip and Seras," Elizabeth said. She finished up all her calls, including hiring all new guards and some new soldiers. It was one in the morning when she finished with her work.

"Please Miss Elizabeth," Walter pleaded, "Go to sleep." Elizabeth was still signing papers and going through documents, she was glad for all her mother's training.

"I will Walter," Elizabeth said, waving her hand over a paper to dry the ink, "I just need to make sure this is done so none of the other knights claim us."

"You can do that in the morning," Walter said, "Your room has been prepared."

"Thank you Walter," Elizabeth said. She put the paper in a stack and stood up, stretching her back. She walked to her mothers, her, room. She opened the large door and closed it behind her. She pulled off her skirt and blouse, changing into her nightgown. She put the brush to her hair and felt a presence behind her. Alucard was there, looking at her with a strange look in his eyes.

"Don't forget," he said, "I will kill you for letting her die." Elizabeth said nothing, she didn't even order him out. She finished brushing her hair and climbed into bed. Alucard kept trying to pick a fight, but she was not going to give in. She turned out her lamp.

"Have a good night Alucard," Elizabeth said, "My mother kept some blood in the kitchen if you're hungry. I already called our contact at the blood bank, they'll deliver some more tomorrow." Alucard was furious, she was not fighting back. She had not even dismissed him. He stood there in perfect darkness, he could still see her fiery hair and ice-blue eyes. She closed her eyes, but she did not sleep. Alucard did not leave from his standoff with the young woman until Walter showed up and threw Alucard out.

"I don't care what is bothering you," Walter said, "But you'd better start coping, or so help me I'll seal you away faster then you can blink." Walter knew it was an empty threat, Alucard was stronger and younger, but Walter had more determination when it came to Elizabeth, Walter stormed away to his room and left Alucard, stunned, in his dust. Alucard phased through to the basement. It was only then that he let his tears flow.

Elizabeth heard Walter escort Alucard out, she also felt Alucard cry. The moisture in his room was greater with blood tears, and the airflow was being disturbed by sobs. It always annoyed her when someone cried, she could not stand the bad vibrations coming from the air over her sensitive skin. She got out of bed and pulled on a robe, letting her senses guide her to Alucard, she found him on the floor, choking on sobs. He was crying worse then she had that morning, his shoulders were racking, he was lucky he did not have to breath. Elizabeth would have welcomed a continuous vent for her emotions. Alucard must not have sensed her, for he was not even looking at her.

Elizabeth, daring herself, reached out a pale hand and touched him on the shoulder. He continued to sob, letting himself go. She slid her hand over to his other shoulder and placed her other hand on the shoulder closest to her. He turned into her and sobbed, getting blood over her robe. She could have cared less. Elizabeth just held Alucard, the strange vampire who had vowed to kill her, as he sobbed. She did not care about his vow earlier, she knew he loved her mother, that was enough for her. Elizabeth began humming her mother's favorite song, it was a sad song. Alucard soon stopped his crying.

"Integra," he asked, almost asleep. He had not fed in many years, and could smell her rich blood. Elizabeth closed her eyes, he would soon be asleep.

"Yes, Alucard," she whispered, "It's me, but I have to go soon."

"Don't leave me," he pleaded, his arms grabbing her shoulder, still not looking at her, "Don't leave me alone." Elizabeth felt a chord in her heart pull as Alucard choked out the very un-Alucardish words. She held him till he was asleep, then laid him on the floor of his room with blood packets in reach.

"You're not alone," she whispered, she did not know why she whispered such a phrase, she would later reflect that her mother had been guiding her, "I'm always here." Elizabeth walked silently upstairs and went back to bed after getting a new nightgown, her other had been soaked through with blood. What she did not see was Walter close her door behind her.

Wow, Alucard really loved Integra.
