Alucard thought about what Walter had just said. Walter was sitting in his room, drinking. Elizabeth's tears had finally stopped. Alucard felt Elizabeth's sorrow, and understood it.

'Damn it!' He thought, pacing. 'I'm not going to let Walter be right! She is as alone as me, just like me. She's the only damn sprite in England, just like I am the only true vampire. She is alone, just like me. Damn it, why does he have to be right?' He signed at sat on his coffin, his head in his hands. She was so much like Integra. Same hair (color except), same eyes, same face, same spirit. She was her mother's reincarnation without her soul. Integra's soul was with God, he would never see her again. Alucard phased through the cline to find Elizabeth sitting on a daybed, her tears were no longer falling, but the rain pounded on the roof and lighting continued to split the sky.

"What do you want?" Elizabeth asked without looking at him. "More vows to kill me?" Elizabeth turned, her eyes were filled with deeper sorrow then he had ever seen in Integra's. She was weaker. Alucard had intended to ask her about holding him, but he phased back through the floor and left her alone. Elizabeth sighed.

"I probably shouldn't have done that," she said to herself, "I can't burn all bridges to the past. But hell will freeze before I let him get the best of me, maybe his heart would welcome the warmth of and ice storm." Outside the temperature dropped several degrees and the rain turned to hail. Elizabeth sighed and thought about a lake, for some reason it calmed her enough to manage her emotions. The sky cleared of hail, but it still remained cold and overcast. The first hours of dawn began to peek through the blinds. Elizabeth called for some tea and breakfast, her paperwork was waiting.

Alucard climbed into his coffin and closed the lid, he could feel Elizabeth's cold demeanor reaching out and permeating through the house. He shivered for a moment, Integra could have given a look like that, and Elizabeth was not even in the room. He closed his eyes and let death-like sleep take him.

Alucard awoke to a knock at his door. He groggily sat up and pushed upon his coffin. His hat and coat were hanging over a chair with his glasses. Another knock came, a little louder this time. Alucard stuck his head through the door.

"What?" he asked. Elizabeth looked up at him.

"Hurry up and get ready," Elizabeth said, "I have a meeting with the knights and Walter insists you come along. We will be leaving in five minutes. Grab some blood and meet me at the west gate." Elizabeth turned on her heel and walked away. She left a trail of cold air in her wake; even her eyes seemed a colder blue.

"Yes master," Alucard said. He pulled on his coat and hat, slipping his glasses on his face. He pulled a blood packet from his icebox and stuck a straw in it, chugging it as he walked through a dark portal to Elizabeth's car.

"Drive," she said. Alucard finished the packet as they drove, coming to a small back entrance of the palace. Elizabeth got out of the car and walked up the steps of the palace, all alone. She walked right into the room where all the knights and their heir's were. She took her mother's seat and looked around, word about Integra's death had not yet reached their ears. Alucard stood close behind her and leered at every knight present.

"Miss Elizabeth," one of the knights said, "Where is Sir Hellsing?"

"You are looking at her," Elizabeth said, "Integra was murdered the day before yesterday her killer has already been dispatched. I have already been knighted and am in full control of all Hellsing. You will address me correctly, Sir Benjamin." All the knights looked taken aback. Elizabeth slid eight files around the table. "Integra's will has been seen to, these documents were to be returned to their original owners. What is going on?" One knight got over his brain and closed the folder she had handed him.

"Nothing you need worry about," another knight said, sliding a file under the one she gave him. Elizabeth summoned her wind powers and made the file slide to her. It was marks with his seal and directed for Sir Hellsing.

"Thank you," Elizabeth said. "Now is anyone else going to underestimate me? Or must I continue to drag information out of you?" The knights said nothing. "I am a Knight of the round now, you can deal with that or take it up with me." The other knights all looked her right in the eye and slid files across the table to her. Elizabeth looked briefly at them all. "Is that all for tonight?"

"Yes," one said, Elizabeth glared, "Sir Hellsing." Elizabeth rose and the queen walked in, she quickly kneeled with the other knights.

"Rise," she said, "I have one matter yet to attend to. We had a hasty ceremony for Sir Elizabeth Hellsing. There shall be a ball in three weeks time to celebrate the passing of Sir Integra Hellsing and the rise of Sir Elizabeth Integra Hellsing."

"Your Majesty," they all said. Elizabeth waited until the queen was out before storming out of the room.

"You did well," Alucard said when they were in the car. He had been impressed by Elizabeth, he had expected her to fall, but she rose above the knights. Alucard smiled, Integra had done the same thing, she too had to fight the knights for respect with a hasty ceremony. Elizabeth was storming.

"A ball," she said, "I have to go to a fucking ball in a fucking dress." She lit up a cigarette and smoked it deeply. "I hate these fucking ceremonies. Walter, is there any way I can get out of it?"

"Not unless there's a large amount of vampire outbreaks in three weeks," Walter said.

"How do I make that happen?" Elizabeth asked.

"No, Sir Hellsing," Walter said, "This is a tradition that shall not be broken."

"Fuck," Elizabeth said. Alucard was surprised; the girl had a mouth on her when she was annoyed.

"And you will need to clean that mouth up," Walter said, not missing a beat.

"I have half a mind to say 'fuck you' but you're Walter," Elizabeth said, "I really need to kill something, are there any FREAKS out tonight?"

"No," Alucard answered, "To both our misfortunes." The rest of the ride was silent. When they got home Elizabeth took her gun, which was exactly like Integra's, and went for target practice. Alucard was already there. He was hitting targets far away from his current position and hitting them between the eyes.

"Nice shot," Elizabeth said. She took her own aim, much closer then Alucard's target, and put a bullet between the eyes.

"You to," Alucard said, "You're a better shot then she was, but then, I've never seen Integra loose to anyone with a sword." Silence reigned for many minutes.

"Alucard," Elizabeth said, "What was she like?"

"Who?" Alucard asked.

"My mother?" Alucard missed his shot by three targets. He tried not to show how much even thinking of her rattled him.

"What do you want to know that you don't already?" Alucard said, lowering his pistol. "She was my master, just like you are."

"She was more then that," Elizabeth said, lowering her own pistol. The two began to walk though the estate. "To you, I mean. What was she like?"

"You probably knew her better then I," Alucard said, "The Integra I remember is close to the one you will."

"I don't think so," Elizabeth said. "I never really knew my parents, Integra was always off doing paperwork. I don't even think she liked me very much. My hair obviously comes from my father, and I don't think she loved him."

"Who was he?" Alucard could tell that Elizabeth was reaching out, trying to understand her mother.

"I never knew him," Elizabeth said, "He died before I was born. All I know is that he was Irish and a sprite. Integra never talked about him, she'd always become sad, but I don't think it was for him. I overheard her one time, talking to Walter. She said that we shouldn't have been the way we were, that we should not have been human." Alucard could see where Elizabeth was going. "Did you love her?" Alucard stopped, fighting to keep his emotion in.

"I loved her more then death itself," Alucard said. "You wanted to know what she was like? Integra was beautiful and strong. She awakened me when she had no one else in the world, just like you did. She was called the Iron Maiden. I would have rather been banished back to hell then let her die at the hands of her own son."

"Luke was not of the same parentage as me," Elizabeth said, "At least I would like to think that he was not, but we were twins."

"Were you the older one?"

"Yes, Luke was the lesser of us. I think he hated me for that, I had everything he wanted. Power, mother's attention, the estate. He had everything I wanted, a normal life."

"You are like her," Alucard said, "She did not want to be a knight either, but I think she came on to the idea."

"She loved her position," Elizabeth said. "I'm sure I will too in ten years." Elizabeth leaned on a railing and the moon illuminated her. Alucard could not help himself; he ran a gloved hand down her hair. It was just like Integra's, soft and silky. Alucard could feel the fire from her hair warm his dead body. Elizabeth's back stiffened; she was not accustomed to men touching her in such a manor. Elizabeth stood tall, straightening her jacket. "I have work." Elizabeth walked away; Alucard would have sworn that she was Integra, if it had not been for her red hair. Alucard followed her as a mist into her room and smelt blood. He curled over to her laundry shoot and saw a bloody nightgown near it.

Alucard mentally gasped. Elizabeth had been the one comforting her that night, not Integra. Elizabeth got into her bed and rain began to pound the roof. He could hear stifled crying coming from the huge bed that Integra had once slept in, her scent was still in the air. Alucard transformed into the hellhound, but a smaller version then what he would use in battle. He whined and stuck his head under the huge velvet curtains, pushing them aside so he could jump on the bed. Elizabeth was sobbing now, Alucard lay down next to her and licked her face. Elizabeth wrapped her arms around the dogs and sobbed into his chest, saying incoherent grief-filled statements.

Alucard whined and transformed back, holding Elizabeth against his chest. He held her until she was asleep and a long time afterwards. Deep in the estate Walter watched the security camera, he never said anything. He could only watch and hope that Elizabeth did not have the same fate as Integra.

Well, lemme know what you think.

Review please.
