Pairings: AluxSeras in the far future, I just need to get there first.

Disclaimer: I do not own Hellsing, Alucard or Seras Victoria. If I did I would have had them together on the first episode. These characters belong to Kohta Hirano and Studio GONZO.

The Hellsing manor stood proud among the decaying city of London. No longer the splendor of the old British Empire, London was nothing but a feeding ground for those unlucky souls that walk upon it. The city itself was conceived by minds that worked in small numbers, for it had narrow houses painted in dull colors and cluttered streets. People in the daylight shoved each other in their haste to fulfill their pointless tasks, while carriages searched for another fool who would pay an extortion amount for a moment of gloating. For you see those on carriages are considered of "breed" and look down on commoners that use their own means to get around. How typical of the so called aristocrats… But my friends the night brings such beautiful change. This place of frivolous humans becomes the battlefield for Satan's most beloved creatures. Vampires. And who best to fight them than a Hellsing? History says this fearless fighter was among the ones chosen by God himself to serve him but now I beg to differ. This disgust does not come lightly for his holy mission has already become tainted. On the contrary to past beliefs the fool still fights the undead but he dares to take them in. Even worst is accepting one in your life. And this my friend is when our story unfolds, the most unlikely a place you would see a damned one in…

The old manor protested against the strong winds outside. The force of them made what little vegetation on the grounds existed to enroot. Not one street lamp outside was on and what little light came from the full moon, the color of blood, was unable to penetrate the grounds. But some sounds could be heard, as maids quickly ran from one side to the other like workers. Carrying hot towels and bowls of hot water these robots all seemed to go to one room. The room is question was located in the furthest corned of this mansion, almost as if it wanted to be hidden from the outside world. Devoid of any decoration or color the room held but a simple bed. On this bed one at first would not notice anyone but on a closer look and a little bit of Hellsing intuition you would see a woman. Not an ordinary woman as you could tell from her ghostly pale skin and unnatural blue eyes that seemed to speak of past times. But she was not smirking as you would expect from someone of her class as her body convulsed and her screams scared the maids as they tried to keep her quiet. But the woman would not help as commands for "Push" where drilled into her head. But a simple look across her room to the figure looming on the other side was enough convincing to make her think otherwise. It was better to do as they say than be slaughtered at his hands. And so as hard as her weaken body would allow her she pushed until a cry erupted from an unknown source. Supported by the hands of the maids she propped herself on her hands for a better look and was quite shocked by what greeted her. A child, a living child. Not an undead like her kind, or a damned one at that but a breathing human child and a girl no less. Complete loss settled itself in her conscious as she fell back to her bed with a flutter of sheets. She could not possibly believe this had come to pass. It was meant to be impossible! No Queen, yet alone a vampire one like her was capable of breading a child and at that a human one. But the little child was well alive as it was placed in its mother's hands and as she looked down her eyes filled with wonder. This mere child radiated an aura of power that she had never witness in her 3000 years of ruling! Great things could be accomplished with such power but why had fate chosen her to be a human? There were so weak with their emotions. Never ready to sacrifice for a greater good. But she knew what sacrifices meant and the first one would be the hardest.

No longer interested with the child the pale woman regarded the figure that had yet to acknowledge her. He was tall for sure as only he could reach the windows. As he gently opened it one would notice his silver hair and eyes as the breeze gently touched his face. His broad shoulders and grey suit reminded her of one of those old knights. And the stiff expression he always wore near left him even when she spoke.

"Hellsing please come closer. I have a last request for you my friend." Her quiet yet almost royal like tone woke him from his musings.

"You startled me Lilith." He replied in his usual monotone.

"I would think I would not affect you so, oh great Hellsing…" she smirked as she looked him in the eye.

"But you see this child…" she continued "You have to protect her. Do not let her become one of my kind for she then will be condemned to the same fate as I. And what little humanity I still possess will not let me place that burden upon her even when she is human…"

"I want her to grow up loved and sheltered from this cruel world. Let her experience what you call growing up in this wrenched world. But please let it be away from this!"

"I never truly thought this would happen Abraham…" she muttered to herself as she scanned the small room to distract her thoughts.

Why had they chosen such a bare room? Would they think her kind was not use to comfort? Always you place so little respect in us Abraham…

"Neither did I. You see I only accepted this arrangement in hopes of helping us. To hopefully balance the odds in our favor."

"But he still remains as powerful as before and I fear this is not enough. This union might not even put a stop to that monster."

"Ah Abraham my friend do not loose what little fate you have in our kind and their blood. This time we won't let you down. We will be able to protect them."

"Such words do not settle this old man's heart. My worries will still remain. But I will do as you ask of me Lilith. She will grow up besides me and Integra and I will guard her as long as I live."

"My thanks my friend. Please tell Integra that to me she wasn't at fault and that she has my respect and loyalty. Don't let her play anymore havoc!"

"I hope she grows up to be like you" she smiled faintly as she said these words. One could even possibly detect a few sparkles of fondness appearing in her blue eyes.

"Now please take her Hellsing. The maids have left long ago and I have little patience."

Slowly Lilith moved the little bundle that was in her arms and gave it to Hellsing. He looked mutely at the child but accepted it nevertheless. He would be true to his word and protect the child for she might be their last chance. A desperate one at that but perhaps their strongest. He strode out the room in powerful steps sparing but a glace at the woman on the bed and slowly closed the door.

What greeted him on the other side was a usual sight. His child, Integra Wingates Hellsing was sitting on the floor perched on some books trying as she might to listen to what was happening inside. She had an empty glass in one hand that was against the wall and her ear against it. Thus she failed to notice his gaze as she tried to hide the incrimination evidence.

"So Papa… what brings you here?" she laughed as she tried to conceal her dread at being caught.

"Just wanted to show you your new sister. Her name is… Seras… Seras Victoria." He lowered his arms so they were leveled with his daughter's gaze. She got up and stood on her tiptoes as she tried to look at what was in his hands.

"She's… she's so small! How am I suppose to play with her?" the barely 8 year old child asked as her hand came to touch Sera's little hand. She toyed with it a little bit until it went around the baby's body as if trying to hug her.

Abraham Van Hellsing smiled fondly at his daughter. She was such a curious child, always out to cause mischief on his staff. Yet she remained strong with a smile always on her face. He hoped that she would never loose that side of her.

"Wing she won't be this small forever." He chuckled. "She'll grow up fast enough and them you'll be a big sister. You'll be able to play with her and show her all your hiding places. I do hope she doesn't destroy all my plates like her sister did." He smiled at his daughter's flustered face.

"But Papa that was a mistake! Walter did it!" she almost screamed as she ran around her father.

"Of course, of course. But anyways Wing lets go, we have a room to choose for you little baby sister! Pink sounds alright?"

As the two figures departed from the hall where there once stood, both failed to notice a black mist form near the previous door. It appeared to try and seek an entrance to that room but failed as each attempt didn't bring it any closer. It was as if it wasn't allowed passage to the woman who lay on the bed on the other side.

Do not dare and defy me Queen. Your rotted corpse is weak. The voice in the mist seemed to echo this behind the door as it slowly retired back to its sanctuary. He would have his opportunity later.

+ Dream +

Her body weighted a ton. How was that possible, wasn't she in her own bed? And that voice? Had she not asked for silence from those dam humans…? Annoyed beyond words she opened her eyes intend on tearing their limbs apart. But what greeted her on the other side was a terrifying sight. Nothing. Total darkness surrounded her from every possible direction to the point she couldn't even see her hands. Even her vampire eyesight didn't help her. This strange revelation did nothing to settle her already frail nerves. Hadn't she seen that room before? As she flew, if one could call this flying to look around and find an answer she was attracted to one particular point. A gun rested on the floor under a spotlight. Made of silver metal no less. She had seen that before, she was sure… but where?

"Enjoying ourselves? Had a look around, haven't we?" a voice from nowhere spoke.

"See that there? It's helped me with so much bloodshed… Yet it will still have one mission…"

"Your plan will fail you and hopefully at my hands." One could tell a smirk would be on his face if he had one.

"Leave now!" she screamed back in response.

And as fast as he had been there, he was gone. Perhaps intimidated by the dark aura that had surrounded the woman with those words or maybe because he was bored… He was no longer here…

+ In her room +

Lilith awoke startled by that same voice. Her body was once again covered in sweat this time not due to her labor but that restless dream. He had the audacity to invade her dream! She screamed to herself. This would not be tolerated again. But her body was so weak she could barely keep her barrier up. Giving birth had been her sentence and she knew soon her death would follow. She couldn't leave now, not before she was true to her words. Do not loose the fate you have in our kind and their blood. She had said those same words to Hellsing and she would make him believe. As fast as she possibly could, and that was at a grueling slow speed to her she sat up in her makeshift bed. Their sheets were no longer their pristine white but now a dark shade of red indicating the blood had coagulated. But she wasn't interested in that as she tried to stand on her feet. How she missed disappearing or shape-shifting. But being as weak as she was that was suicide and she had yet to complete a last task. Finally standing she called upon the remaining powers that resided within her and faded through the floor. Slowly at first due to her poor condition them slightly faster she reached her destination after 4 floors- The Hellsing cellar. It reeked of old and potent magic even after centuries of disuse. The importance was that it served their purpose and would fulfill hers. She descended the hall passing unlocked doors that she spared but a glance. Her destination was at the end of the long corridor, a massive looking door. It appeared unaffected by time as the door stood proud it all its glory. Lilith approached this same door and touched its wooden surface tracing a shape making a faint but clear symbol appear- the Hellsing symbol. It appeared in all its horror a 6 pointed star with the words "Hells Gate Arrested and Shine Heaven Now". You're so melodramatic Abraham. Trying to strike fear in your opponents. She thought to herself, but now was not the time to dwell on such thoughts. She pushed the same door reveling what she was looking for. A small altar stood in the middle of the same Hellsing symbol etched on the door, but this time it was on the floor. She ran as fast to her decaying body would allow her to that same altar. Looking at it she though where should I start. Maybe by the altar… She proceeded to approach it and removed her knives from her hip where they were concealed. Convenient yet well hid. It would serve the purpose. She would do this now and hopefully amend their mistake.

"I call forth the powers granted to me by my birth! I, Lilith Queen of the Dammed give my blood to this seal. May it help bind the monster that sleeps within it!" She screamed at the top of her lunges as she tried to cut her wrists so the blood would flow.

But… she never had the chance as two black tendrils stopped her dead in her tracks. Their pulled at her twisting and breaking her arms with a loud crack. She gasped more out of surprise than pain as she turned around to be faced with her worst fear. The monster, Alucard had appeared in the room at the worst moment.

"Did I not warm you no class filth… Do not continue to bother me!" it spoke it a dark voice making the walls vibrate with the power behind his voice.

"Don't you dare call me that! You're not half of what we are. You're just a monster, condemned to be a No Life King for all eternity. I pity your kind. Satan should have long ago destroyed you but he was too merciful." She replied while staring him directly in his many eyes.

She was a Queen for Lucifer's sake!

Alucard's smirk only grew wider. This Queen was indeed true to her kindred; even now she still regarded him with hatred. She was a Queen of the Dammed and for that she would have a quick death, hopefully a very painful one just for his amusement.

"The child lives does it not?" his smirk once again becoming even wider as his eyes popped out of their socket and they looked at her.

"What? You speak of nonsense." Her smiled faulted.

"It does not trouble me; I'll have her just the same. Like mother, like daughter…"

He approached Lilith at an incredible speed surprising even her. But it was too late to react as he descended on her throat and drank from her blood. She was shocked; she had been so close to helping everyone. And now she had failed! Her eyes fluttered close as images from her past showed themselves in her mind. Her birth, her meeting with Hellsing, their agreement and the young Integra. She tried her best to pull away but it was hopeless with broken arms; and as her life was draining away she said but three words. Accept my blood.

Let it be said that fate has a twisted sense of humor. It allows such nightmares to be let loose yet it chooses the most critical moment to let a miracle happen. Toss a bone at the dying dog…

As a single trop of her blood landed on the seal from his careless hurry she knew there was hope. Even God smiled on his damned creatures. Satisfied from his meal Alucard let her limp body fall on the seal empty of all blood. The symbol then flared to life with her last words. It had accepted the blood. She had finally fulfilled a promise to Hellsing.

"This has just become more interesting…" Alucard spoke as he disappeared to where he came from.

… to be continued …

Author Notes:

My dear Lucifer finally! I didn't think I would be able to finish it but here it is nevertheless… My first Hellsing fanfiction and actually my first work in years. I assure you it must be as bad as it was something like 5 years ago xD But 3000 words for a first chapter is GREAT:D So you must all have some questions… What's this relationship between Hellsing and Lilith? Who is she truly? And why has this become more interesting?

Not a word will come out from my lips You'll have to guess…

Anyways the usual applies; review and I'll add more chapters. Writers don't only work on coffee…
