Chapter 1: The Death & The Rediscovery
Kathrin stood there looking at the woman who once was undefeatable, wise, smart, and loving. Now she was pale, weak, and sick laying on her death bed Kathrin slowly walked over to her.
"Mother must you die?" She asked
The woman smiled and laughed softly followed by a fit of coughs. Kathrin's eyes were wide with terror she knew that this was going to bed her last conversation with her mother and she wanted to make the most of it.
"Yes, Kathrin there is no cure for me" She muttered softly and looked ahead
"Walter?" The woman asked.
The butler slowly walked up to her his face held sadness his boss was dying before him and there was nothing he could do to stop it then he remembered what was in the basement and a small smile came across his face.
"Yes, Miss Integra?" he asked her
She smiled softly and looked over at him her icy blue eyes softened,
"Make sure Kathin is well taken care of" she said and looked away
"And don't show her what is in the basement until you feel like she is ready" she added and sighed greatly trying to catch her breath
Walter nodded and smiled again he bowed and moved away slowly
"Yes, Miss Integra" he said and ushered Kathrin to go upahead to visit her mother for the last time.
Integra looked at Kathrin "...stay...strong" was all she could said before she closed her eyes forever.
Three years passed and Kathin had matured greatly her once shoulder length blonde hair was now to her mid thigh and her dark blue eyes had lightend to that of her mother's icy blue her figure was now slim and all that baby fat was gone. She looked up at the sky the pale full moon made her look stunning. Instead of the traditional green suit Kathrin had decided to go against tradititon and wear a pair of black jeans, a white tight tee shirt, black converse shoes, and a black heavy trench coat that she found in her wardrobe.
"Miss Kathrin tea time" Walter said standing outside.
She nodded and walked inside slowly her hair was in a tight ponytail unlike her mother she hated it when her hair hung in her face so she always had it pulled up. She sat on the huge desk and sighed softly.
"Miss Kathin it would be more proper to sit in the desk and not on it" Walter said walking in and holding a tray. She sighed and jumped down sitting in the desk she proped her feet up on the desk and sat there.
"Better then nothing" He said and sat the tray next to her.
She smiled and took the tea and started to drink it.
"Ah, Thank you so much Walter I don't know how you make such delicous tea" She said and sat there quietly.
"Well I have been in this family for quite some time and I know what type of tea you like" he said and smiled
She nodded and sat there her smile faded and she realized that it had been three years to the day that her mother had died.
"Walter can you believe that it has been three years?" she asked him looking away.
"I am aware Miss Kathrin..." he said softly
It was a very awkward silence before Walter broke it.
"You are looking more and more like your mother everyday"He said and stood next to her.
She nodded slightly and looked at him.
"I know Walter...I miss her so much...but I have a question" she said and looked at him her eyebrows raised slightly.
"Yes, what is that?" he asked.
"What is that thing in the basement...that mother spoke of that night?" She asked him.
His eyes widened and he nodded.
"Where to start" he muttered
"I don't care anywhere please" she said and relaxed.
He nodded softly.
"Okay well...a long time ago your great great grandfather Van Hellsing...captured a vampire by the name of Dracula it was a quite a fight but, Hellsing in the end killed the vampire and regenerated his cells...making him a servant of the Hellsing family for all eternity...that is to make a long story short and what is in the basement is Alucard or the former Dracula he served your grand father and your mother but, as of right now he lays dormant in the basement binded by strong cells...you are the only one who can free him Miss. Kathrin and I think it is time for you to see what your great great grandfather created" he said.
Kathrin sat there looking at him her eyes were wide in surprise.
"But, I thought there were no such things are real vampires...that is what mother told me" she said and stood up.
Walter looked at her "I know but, your mother wanted to keep it secret from you for as long as possible" he said and followed her down the steps to the basement where Alucard was kept for seventeen years.
