Partners
Epilogue

Another month had passed. Integra sat in her office penning down random thoughts in a private journal that she'd been keeping since becoming leader of the Hellsing Organization. She looked at the clock see it was half past midnight. She blinked her eyes wearily and tried to finish her entry.

"The past few months have been interesting to say the least. I had no idea that when I chose Seras Victoria to become the partner of my vampire servant Alucard the tremendous job I would be undertaking. I first off did not expect that Seras would last as Alucard's partner. He has succeeded in driving off every other person I've paired him with. Not that I could blame the poor souls for wanting to get as far away from him and this organization as they could possibly get. I thought I would soon be looking for yet another replacement.

Yes Alucard played the usual round of tricks on poor Seras that he did with everyone else. Mild humiliation, peeping through the mirror, and most notably scaring the poor girl in his hellhound form. I still don't know how she didn't wet the bloody bed from that trick. But I was quite shocked and amazed that Seras Victoria decided she would not be run off like all the others. She was bound and determined to stick out the assignment, and more importantly, Alucard. And I witnessed what is most likely the first and only time Alucard actually apologized for doing something. I still have to convince myself that wasn't a dream. He actually apologized for what he did to Seras with the dog stunt.

The two began getting along extremely well, working like the partners I'd hoped they would be. I was impressed by her ability to hold up under extreme pressure, especially having to deal with a perverted bastard like Jan Valentine. But it was what happened soon after the first raid that things went in a direction I had not anticipated upon.

It happened during the second raid. Alucard succeeded in silencing Luke Valentine, but Jan slipped away and confronted Seras. After a brief fight she ended up getting stabbed through the stomach. The wound was humanly fatal. Alucard got to her before death did. He offered her the chance to become immortal, and she took it. I still remember how furious I felt when he informed me of the news. I could not believe he had gone over my head in such a manner. Despite what he may think, I was not jealous of Seras Victoria now being Alucard's fledgling. Well..."

Maybe I was a little. She'd taken the chance that both Walter and I had been given. Perhaps deep down I feel a little envious knowing she felt free to accept Alucard's immortal kiss where I felt I could not. I am bound by honor and duty to her majesty to remain human until the day I die. Walter felt the same. But Seras Victoria, though a member of Hellsing, was not bound by the same ethics as I am. I could not then, and cannot now allow myself to become a vampire. Yes, perhaps in a way I am jealous.

Of course I jumped all over Alucard for turning that girl. Yes, it was noble of him to save her life. But the bigger picture is he did it behind my back, and most likely was conspiring to turn her whether I approved or not. It is simple to say he was just doing it to rebel against me and soon enough he'll grow tired of her. But I know now that Alucard is not an easy character to figure out. Yes, he is a monster. Even as a human he was considered a bloody berserker impaling thousands of people. That is the side most of the world sees. I can only imagine the thousands more that fed his bloodlust once he became a creature of the night. But as time has gone by and I have gotten to know him, sometimes a bit better than I would have liked, I have come to realize that he is not as one sided as I would have believed in the beginning.

He is loyal. He has served my family loyally ever since his capture by my great, great grandfather Abraham Van Helsing. I'm sure that Alucard spent much of that time hating my ancestors, though he served them dutifully none the less. If he had no loyalty at all, he could easily have killed me the night I awoke him in the dungeon when my uncle tried to have me killed. I still remember the insane look in his eyes as he stalked toward me. Were not for the blood in my veins and my resolve, I'd have either ended up Alucard's plaything, or his evening meal. Neither prospect appealed to me in the least.

At first I wondered just why he turned Seras other than to save her from a mortal death. I've noticed that before he turned her he became quite protective of her, even possessive. It was not until he revealed to me that he'd looked into the girl's memories and saw rather traumatic events that led to her becoming involved in law enforcement. Strength, strength in the face of death and utter defiance of unfathomable odds is what ended up drawing him to her. Even as a child, Seras refused to be defeated. She resolved to fight to the death.

If there is one thing Alucard does respect, it is a person who shows great strength. He is a being who despises weakness. Perhaps now I understand why the other partners he had never lasted very long. They did not have the strength to stand up to him. So far only two people have really been strong enough to put up with Alucard's eccentricities, Walter and I. Now he saw in Seras much of the same strength we possess.

I have come to realize that I did not know Alucard the way I thought I did. I thought he only turned Seras out of obligation. Now I realize that perhaps there was another reason. A reason I could not in all my life until now fathom. Alucard, for all his flaws and idosyncricies, was lonely. I didn't think about it until the fight we had over Seras being turned. I never for one moment truly realized that Alucard was lonely. I always figured he coveted his isolation from the world, and for the most part he does. He does not now nor does he truly want anything to do with the human world. But within that world that he long since renounced he found two people he held as worthy companions. But neither of us wanted to spend eternity as vampires.

It makes me wonder what it must have been like for Alucard being locked up in the dungeon by my father all those years ago before I found him. What could he have done to deserve such harsh punishment? Twenty years starved of blood, but I know now that could not have been the worst of it. Twenty years he went without any interaction at all, even if it was only human. Defiant as he may have been through whatever hellish battle it took to get him in that room, but deep down he feared it. He feared starvation, but he feared being alone more. To be locked in a twenty-year-old nightmare from which there was no escape until I found him. To be locked in that sort of nightmare and have no one at all to comfort him. I now understand why he was so insane when I woke him. As much as I may threaten him with the idea of locking him back up, I could not in good conscious send him back to such a hell. Only under the most dire of circumstances could I actually go through with it.

And now Alucard has the companion he has so desired. He has said nothing of this to me, but I do not doubt those two are lovers. I find it hard to imagine a creature that can so easily tear men to shreds and rip through enemies without so much as an eyeblink sending a young woman into a tempest of unbridled exctasy. Yet I know I have heard Walter talking of how he has nearly walked in on those two sometimes in the throws of passion. Killer, sadist, masochist, protector, servant, and suprisingly a passionate lover as well. So much I never realized about this vampire bound to my family.

The hour is late. I must stop writing before either Walter or the Romanian Love Machine come up here to lecture me bout staying up far past my bedtime.

With all devotion to God and her majesty,
Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing
