Daughter
of Sin

Chapter
1

It
was nine pm in London. Integra sat at her desk looking over a
list of guests to be invited to the engagement ball. It had been
only a week since she had been introduced to her betrothed
Kenneth Grey, a son of the Earl of Ascott. She lit a cigar and
took a drag off of it. The ball was going to be quite the affair.
The Knights of the Round Table, their families, friends of the
queen would all be there. And of course Hellsing's most prominent
members were expected to be in attendance as well. A woman would
usually be trying to figure out what gown to wear, how her make
up and hair should be done, what shoes and hand bag would match
the outfit.

Integra,
however; was not most women. She hated the very idea of having
her hair fixed, having shimmery but elegant eye and lip colors
applied to her face not to say anything of the foundation, rouge,
eye liner and mascara. Dress pumps were her idea of torturing
one's feet, and worst of all, the thought of having to wear a
dress. Integra could just imagine the torturous teasing she'd
have to put up with from Alucard. He hadn't seen her in anything
remotely resembling a dress or skirt since she was thirteen. The
only feminine garments she even wore were knickers and a bra. And
even they were kept nice and simple. No fancy lace or satins for
Integra. The simpler the better as far as she was concerned.

It
wasn't going to be an easy night for the Hellsing leader. But
being in the service of the queen of England, she knew these
things would happen sooner or later. It just went with the
territory. She sighed and continued going over the invitation
list.

She
looked at the binder full of various dress styles. The queen had
given it to her so she could choose a dress to wear to the ball.
Not that she wanted anything to do with any of them, but she had
to chose something. Integra certainly didn't have a problem going
to a formal affair in a suit. But to do that would most certainly
embarrass the queen, not to mention the whispers that would be
going on behind Integra's back. She let out a sigh and began
flipping through the pages.

She
saw a tall, lean shadow suddenly dim the pages that she was
looking at. "I don't recall summoning you Alucard." She
said flatly.

"Now
must I have a summons to pay a visit to my master?" Alucard
asked leaning over Integra's shoulder.

"That's
usually the way it works." Integra answered.

"Come
now master. Is it so terrible that I make sure that you are
safe?" Alucard answered with his own question.

"I
am safe am I not? Now if you don't mind I must finish this, and I
prefer to do it by myself." Integra answered sternly.

"Oh
yes, chosing a dress for your engagement ball. What a horrible
task that must be." Alucard replied sarcastically.

"Yes,
and it's becoming more difficult with you distracting me."
Integra said with irritation in her voice.

"I've
become a distraction to you master? Now I couldn't possibly
imagine how so humble a servant as I could be such a terrible
distraction to you master. Although why you consider it such a
sin to wear something that would show off the lovely body the
almighty gave you is beyond me." Alucard replied smoothly.

"I
remember getting a brief glimpse of that body when you were
seventeen." He said with a chuckle.

"Yes.
And I remember kicking the Dracula family jewels into your
throat." Integra replied.

"Hmmm,
I think that's the most fun I ever had with you disciplining
me." Alucard said.

"You're
a sick bastard, you know that don't you? Now if you've had your
fun pestering me please be kind enough to vanish, and let me get
this disagreeable task done and over with." Integra said
with a slight growl in her voice.

"Normally
I would love to stay here and watch you torture yourself further,
but Seras and I have a little training session planned for the
evening. Shall I call for Walter just in case you should require
a straight jacket?" Alucard asked fluttering his eyes.

"Alucard,
are you familiar with the phrase 'up yours'?" Integra
growled.

"I
invented it." Alucard answered as he vanished through the
bookshelf.

Integra
looked to the portrait of her father hanging on the wall.
"You could have just left me a gun collection or some
priceless family heirloom. But no, I had to go inherit the family
vampire." She muttered to herself.

##########################################

Seras
walked through the door of Alucard's chamber. There he was
standing in front of his throne like chair waiting patiently for
his mate. "So what will I be learning tonight?" Seras
asked.

"Well,
you've mastered the portal, and you're coming along very well
with your flying ability. You've already developed some of your
telekenetic powers as well. But tonight I think it's time you
learned about shapeshifting." Alucard answered.

"Shapeshifting?"
Seras asked.

"You
do know what it is don't you?" Alucard answered with his own
question.

"Well,
yes. It's the ability to change from one's normal form into that
of something else." Seras answered.

"Exactly.
You've seen me do it on occassion. It require's concentration and
focus but once you get the hang of it it is something you will be
able to do with relative ease. It's a very useful trick when
caught in a nasty situation." Alucard explained.

"Are
you sure I'm ready for that so soon Alucard?" Seras asked.

"For
something simple, yes. Vampires can assume just about any form
they wish. Bats, dogs, wolves, cats, the lowliest of creatures;
we can even take the form of mist and fog. But at present you're
not quite ready for something so advanced. We'll stick to simple
transformations for the time being." Alucard replied.

"For
the first time I want you to assume the form of a bat. They don't
have too many appendages, they're small, and aren't very fancy.
Now be sure you watch carefully and pay close attention."

Alucard
concentrated as the symbols on his gloves began to glow. His
human form turned into a massive black shadow. His arms began to
shrink into themselves until they took on the appearence of bat
wings. His legs virtually dissappeared into nothing more than
tiny little legs and clawed talons. His torso also reduced
greatly in size becoming more rodent like. His head was the last
thing to change until the vampire had assumed the form of a small
but nevertheless menacing little creature of the night.

Seras
took in the site with amazement as she watched the body of her
mentor go from man to bat in less than a moment. The feat was
easy for Alucard. He'd had hundreds of years of practice. Seras
didn't feel too sure of herself being able to pull off the trick
as easily as her teacher did.

"It's
just like the portal and flying. It all begins in the mind. You
must do as I did. See yourself as nothing more than a black
shadow in your mind, and then envision that shadow taking the
form of a bat. Take the form of a shadow, and then will the
shadow to take the shape you desire it to take."

She
heard Alucard's voice instruct her mentally. Seras watched as
Alucard changed from the form of a bat back into his human shape.
She closed her eyes.

"Remember
your body responds to your mind's commands. It will obey your
will and your every thought. But you must focus entirely upon
whatevery command you want it to obey." Alucard instructed.

Seras
pictured her body in her mind. She envisioned a black fog
enveloping her form covering her arms, legs, torso and head.
Alucard looked into her mind careful not to distract her
concentration. He watched with his physical eyes seeing the black
shadow outwardly envelope Seras's body. He looked on approvingly
as Seras's arms began to distort and widen into wings. They began
to grow shorter as did her legs until they resembled bat's feet.
Her torso shrunk as did her head. Within a moment or two she had
assumed the form of a bat.

"Good."
Alucard replied approvingly. "Now using the same method,
reassume your human form."

Almost
as easily as she had assumed the form of a bat, the small animal
body lengthened and stretched to reassume Seras's womanly shape.
She shook her head feeling a little winded by the experience.
"I actually did it." She said softly.

"Of
course you did. The bat is one of the simplest forms to assume.
We'll work on bigger forms later. You did well for your first
time." Alucard replied.

Seras
felt her knees wobble. Alucard grabbed her wrist so she didn't
fall backwards.

"It
can take its toll on the body the first time. But it is something
you will learn to control with practice." He said holding
her to him so she could steady herself. He looked toward his
small round table and extended his hand. The decanter full of
blood lifted from it's resting place and floated toward its
owner's waiting hand. The goblet that rested beside the bottle
soon followed.

Once
Seras felt strong enough to stand on her own, Alucard poured her
a glass and handed it to her. "I should have warned you
using your higher abilities will drain you. You'll have to start
drinking more blood in order to keep up your strength. Once
you've learned to control the transformations it won't be such a
strain on you." He said.

"Was
it like that for you the first time?" Seras asked.

"Yes.
Though it took me much longer to learn how to control my shape
shifting abilities. I didn't have someone to teach me what to do.
Much of my learning took place through trial and error.
Fortunately you have me to guide you through these things. Now I
think it's time I taught you something else." Alucard
answered.

"What
is that?" Seras questioned.

"You're
learning to fly, but there is another aspect to that ability I've
not yet taught you. It's a useful trick when you're caught in a
dire situation. It's also great fun when spying on the human
occupants and scaring them half to death. I'm going to teach you
how to scale the walls and walk on the ceiling." Alucard
answered.

"You
mean like this?" Seras asked and proceeded to not walk, but
run up the wall and stand upside down on the ceiling.

"I
figured that out on my own a week ago." She said.

"Hmmm,
at this rate I'm going to run out of things to teach you."
Alucard said with a smirk.

"I
highly doubt that. If there's one thing you taught me well is
that you're full of suprises." Seras replied.

Somewhere
in Manchester...

A
gentleman walked into a local pub for a drink. As he stepped up
to the bar and sat down he noticed an attractive, young woman
seated to his left. She has long, deep red hair, almost the color
of garnets. Her deep blue eyes sparkled in the dim light of the
pub. She wore a knee length black dress with black sheer
stockings and red high heels. Her hair cascaded down her back to
her hips. Her bangs were swept to one side of her face. She
occassionally pushed them back to keep them from blocking her
left eye. The gentleman looked at her for a moment before he
began to speak.

"Shame
a lovely young lady like yourself is drinking alone." He
said.

"I
don't appear to be alone now do I?" She said with a girlish
smile.

"Does
this mean I can buy you a drink?" He asked.

"Of
course." The woman answered.

"Drink
for the young lady bartender." The man said. "So how is
it such an attractive lady as yourself starts the night off
drinking alone? I'm suprised men in here haven't tried to kill
each other for your attention."

"Most
of the men I've been with just can't seem to keep up with me. I'm
a very energetic and lively female. I've yet to find a man who
can outlast me...if you know what I mean." The woman
answered.

"I'd
say that sounds like a challenge." The man replied.

"Think
you're up to it then?" The woman asked.

"Well
why don't we go back to my place and find out if I'm...up to the
task." The man answered.

"Yes...let's
find out if you have what it takes to keep up with me." The
woman said with a wicked smile.

The
two walked out of the pub and headed for the man's car. They got
in and drove away.

"I'm
David." He said.

"Sadie.
Call me Sadie."

"I
know I've probably said this several times already, but I must
say it again. You are a most attractive young lady." David
commented.

"You're
a very attractive man David. It's so nice to see a refined
gentleman. It seems so hard these days to find a man of good
taste." Sadie replied.

Once
they reached David's home he invited her in. "Shall I pour
you a drink Sadie?" He asked.

"Yes
please." Sadie answered.

David
went to his wine cabinet and produced a bottle and two glasses.
He placed them upon a small table and opened the wine into the
glasses. He took one and gave the other to Sadie. She proceeded
to drink the wine in one swallow and set the glass down. David
looked at her somewhat shocked. She walked close to him and
proceeded to grab his neck tie and kiss him hard. The move took
him completely by suprise. He knew she would probably come onto
him sooner or later but he hadn't expected her to be quite so
brash.

"Rather
forward aren't you?" He asked trying to catch his breath.

"You
don't think I came here strictly for conversation do you?"
She asked with a wicked smile on her face.

"Well..."
David began. He was quickly cut off by another brash and forceful
kiss.

"You
should hurry darling. Once I get warmed up I don't stay that way
for very long." She said.

##########################################

The
next night started without incident. Integra continued the
drudgery of trying to pick out a dress for the engagement ball.
Walter was on his way to take Alucard and Seras's rations to
their chambers. Zoey and Pickman spent time talking before he was
to start drill practice with new recruits. Seras awoke just as
the sun was setting. She could sense that Alucard had risen
before her as he usually did. She turned on the stereo that she'd
talked or rather begged Sir Integra to put in her chamber. She
put on her robe when she heard Walter approaching her room. Not
that she was completely naked, but she would have felt a little
awkward by letting the aged retainer see her in a camisole and
lace panties.

"Good
evening Miss Victoria." Walter said kindly as he set her
ration down on her table.

"Good
evening Walter. Has Sir Integra picked a dress for the ball
yet?" She asked.

"I'm
afraid not Miss Victoria. I'm beginning to think she'll never
pick one out." Walter said with an exasperated sigh.

"Is
it really that hard for her to pick out a dress? I mean, I know
the ball is very important and she needs to look her best
but..."

"It's
not picking a dress that is so hard. It's getting her to wear a
dress at all. If she had her way she'd wear a white formal suit
to the occassion. And I honestly don't think this aged heart of
mine could take all the whispers and scandal I'm sure would
follow. Sometimes I think Sir Integra would rather have been born
a man than a woman." Walter replied.

"I'm
sure she'll pick out something soon Walter." Seras said
trying to be reassuring.

"I
hope so Miss Victoria. The event isn't all that far away. I'm
afraid if she keeps procrastenating I'll have to pick one out for
her." Walter replied as he left Seras's chamber. Seras
shrugged her shoulders and changed from her night clothes into
her regulation uniform. Just as she finished tying her boots up
she heard her intercom ring.

"Report
to my office at once Captain Victoria." Integra's voice
ordered.

"Yes
sir."

##########################################

Seras
phased into Integra's office. Alucard was already there standing
against the wall under the portrait of Integra's father. Integra
sat looking her desk with a look that said 'please, just kill me
now.' on her face. Alucard and Seras looked at each for a moment
then back at Integra.

"As
if I didn't have enough to deal with, there's been a killing in
Manchester. I don't have a lot of detail about the murder, but
it's been classified as mysterious enough to have Hellsing
involved. A prominent gentleman named David Alcot was found in
his home by one of his house maids. MI-5 immediately dispatched
agents to have a look at the crime scene. They say they've never
seen anything like this." Integra explained.

"What
happened to Mr. Alcot sir?" Seras asked.

"Just
take a look at the photographs." Integra said.

Seras
took a look at the pictures but didn't see what was so unusual.
"I'm sorry sir, but it just looks like an elderly gentleman
who died of natural causes. I don't see anything unusual at
all."

"I
thought that myself when I first saw the pictures. Until I was
told of the man's age. He was only fourty five years old."
Integra replied.

"Fourty
five? He looks like he's closer to one hundred." Seras
replied in shock.

"Let
me see the picture." Alucard insisted. Seras handed the
photograph to him.

"Fourty
five. I'm over five centuries old, and I look younger than he
does." Alucard said with a hint of sarcasm.

"You're
also a vampire Alucard, so the comparison doesn't exactly count.
This is what Mr. Alco looked like before his death." Integra
said holding up a picture of him. He looked more according to his
true age.

"This
is a fourty five year old man. It certainly doesn't match the
body one of the house maids found. She actually went looking for
Mr. Alcot thinking an elderly man had died in his home. It took
her a few moments to realize it was indeed her employer lying
dead in his bedroom. He was also found completely nude at the
time of his death. The maid said she smelled what appeared to be
a ladie's perfume. It was a very exotic scent from what she
recalled. There were also several items of great value missing
from Mr. Alcot's residence, mostly jewlery. There were also
several pound notes in Mr. Alcot's wallet that had been
taken." Integra continued.

"This
isn't making any sense." Seras responded.

"Like
I said, this death certainly falls under mysterious
circumstances. More mysterious than most. We don't know exactly
what we're going up against here. No blood was taken from the
body so I doubt a vampire is involved. Also the fact that the
victim was robbed of several valuable possessions confuses me as
well. The fact that he left a pub as a fourty five year old male
and ends up looking like a mummy at the time of death does not
bode well for any of us. The only thing we have to go on is a
house maids account of her employer's condition at death and the
smell of a woman's perfume...alleged woman's perfume. MI-5 does
is looking over the house for any survelance cameras that may
have taken video of the victim and who ever he may have been
with. We'll have more conclusive evidence when the video is
released to us." Integra finished.

"If
it wasn't a vampire that did this, then what sort of creature is
capable of doing such a thing?" Seras asked.

"I
don't know. All I do know is we need to get this under control
and dealt with as soon as possible. In case anyone has forgotten
we've still an engagement ball to deal with. As soon as we know
what we're dealing with I want this assignment completed as soon
as possible. Understood?"

"Yes
sir."

"When
I recieve the video footage I will summon you both to my office.
That is all for now. Dismissed."

After
Alucard and Seras vanished, Integra folded her arms on her desk
and then laid her head upon them. "Why now God?"

##########################################

Seras
returned with Alucard to his chamber. At first the elder vampire
was silent and pensive. His expression was of one deep in a chain
of thought. Seras did not disturb him as he thought. She stood by
waiting patiently for him to speak. He looked toward his mate and
began talking.

"Tell
me Seras, you remember what I told you about Lilith, yes?"
He asked.

"Yes.
Why do you ask?" Seras inquired.

"I
cannot be certain, but we may be dealing with one of her demon
daughters." Alucard answered.

"Daughters?"
Seras asked.

"Yes.
It was said that Lilith was the mother of all demons. Many
legends tell of her begetting her hellspawn with different mates,
one being Samiel. Another being the first murderer, Cain."
Alucard began.

"You
mean Cain, the man who slew his brother Abel?"

"The
same. What many do not know about Cain is he was not Adam's seed.
It is believed that when Eve disobeyed God and ate of the
forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge she also engaged in
unholy union with the devil himself. Of course it is know that
when Eve and then Adam disobeyed God he expelled them from the
garden of Eden telling them to go fourth into the world and
multiply. Eve had already concieved of a son as a result of her
sin with the devil. That son was named Cain. It was only after
Adam and Eve were banished from their Earthly paradise that they
concieved their first child, Abel." Alucard explained.

He
took a pause before continuing. "Assuming you know the story
of Genesis, you know that Cain slew Abel after he became very
jealous of the favor God showed his younger half sibling. After
killing Abel God punished Cain by branding him with a mark upon
his forehead. It is said that Cain was also cursed to roam the
Earth as a vagabond. It is said he would never be allowed to die.
He would wander the Earth for all eternity never to find peace.
Never to enter heaven or hell. Some say he is the first male
vampire born into the world."

"So
Cain was really the son of the devil?" Seras asked.

"Yes.
And legends say Lilith became his mate. Now how the two met is a
topic of debate, but that is beside the point. The two are said
to have become lovers and from their union came what are refered
to as the truest of all vampires. You see Seras, vampires like
yourself and I are true vampires, but we are the descendents of
those vampires spawned by Cain and Lilith. The difference being
we are undead. To be undead one must have first been alive and
then died and been reborn as one of our kind. The children of
Cain and Lilith were not undead because they never died. They
were born as supernatural creatures with a hunger for the blood
of humans and beasts. They were born creatures of the night,
where as vampires such and you and I were turned. We started out
as living human beings and through the blood of the dark ones we
became children of the night."

Alucard
paused again before speaking. "But vampires were not the
only demon spawn of Lilith. She also gave birth to demonic
daughters, women who had the power to drain the living spirit of
men in order to grow stronger and remain young. They were called
sucubi. The singular expression of that being sucubus. They were
said to be seductive and alluring creatures who could slip
through cracks or key holes in the houses of men and entice them
to lay with them. As they mated with these creatures they were
drained of their life energy and vitality leaving them nothing
more than empty husks."

Another
pause. "Of course this was not the only reason for a sucubus
having sexual union with a human male. It was two fold plan. The
demon not only got the life energy she craved from her male
victim but she also concieved children of her own from his seed.
Thus the mating of demon and human creating half breeds that
still roam the world today." He finished.

"And
you believe that one of these sucubi could be responcible for the
condition of the victim at his death."

"It's
only a feeling at the moment. As I said I cannot be absolutely
sure. The numbers have greatly dwindled since Lilith's time, but
there are still those of her brood who roam the Earth looking for
suitable victims to mate with and feed off of." Alucard
answered.

"It
still doesn't make any sense why she robbed him." Seras
said.

"The
creature obviously has a reason for stealing from her victims.
Most likely to have human luxuaries so she can blend in with the
human world. That and perhaps she has a taste for the material
world. Integra did say the house maid who found her master did
smell an exotic scented perfume of some sort. Such things are
very expensive. These creatures usually traveled from village to
village never staying in one place for too long. Trying to seek
employment would be a burden to them because they would be
required to stay in one place for a long amount of time. Of
course there was one profession that suited their purposes. What
came to be know as the world's oldest profession" Alucard
replied.

"You
mean prostitution." Seras said.

"Well,
there are those who believe Lilith to be the mother of harlots. A
sucubus needing to find whatever she needed to aid her in her
seduction of men could easily get what she needed by selling her
body to a man who could afford what she was asking for. Of course
just because he paid for her services didn't mean that she
wouldn't rob him blind. Then again, the male being serviced
usually wasn't alive long enough to complain about being robbed
either."

"I
guess we'll find out when the video from Mr. Alcot's mansion
arrives."
