Hey

I'm back.

Read on my fellow fans…

(I don't own Hellsing and I never will)

One with the fic…

Elizabeth opened her eyes and felt a hand on her forehead. She blinked a few times and saw Walter leaning over her.

"Good evening Miss Elizabeth," Walter said, he took the red cloth from her forehead and wiped it with a towel.

"Walter," Elizabeth asked, "What happened?"

"You were pinned to a wall by Anderson," Walter said, "You've been asleep for almost three days." Elizabeth looked outside to just see the last beams of sunlight disappear. She slowly sat up and felt a hand in her own, Alucard was in a chair with his head on her mattress. Walter, holding the tray with the dish and cloth on it, noticed her looking at him and smiled. "Alucard has not left your side. I'll be back later if you need anything." Elizabeth never heard a word he said, she was running her free left hand over her stomach, there were no scars, or wounds. Elizabeth raised a slim hand to her face and saw that it was paler then usual. Elizabeth turned toward her mirrored closet and gasped. According to the mirror, there was no one in the room. Elizabeth's shock took any air from her lungs, then she realized that she didn't need to breathe in the first place.

"Elizabeth?" Alucard asked as he stirred awake. The last of the sunlight had left the sky. "You're awake!" He was sitting next to her on the bed in an instant. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "I almost lost you." The whisper was so quiet Elizabeth knew that she should never have heard it, human ears couldn't pick up noises that quiet. As tender as the moment was, Elizabeth detangled herself from his arms and held him at an arms length.

"Alucard," Elizabeth asked, her voice shaking, "Alucard what happened to me? Did you…?" Elizabeth already knew the answer, she ran her tongue over her teeth and felt two fangs. Elizabeth just sat there, her chest unmoving and she was completely still, she felt like dying when she realized she was already dead.

"Yes," Alucard said, "It was the only way to save you." Alucard put his hands on Elizabeth's face and forced her, gently, to look at him. "I already lost your mother when I was helpless to save her, do you honestly think I would chance that again when I had to power to do something about it?" Elizabeth's heart broke, he loved Integra, her mother, and he still did. Alucard had not saved her, he had saved her mother. She broke away and scooted to the other side of the bed.

'How can you even think that?' She heard Alucard ask through her mind. Elizabeth's eyes closed and a blood tear trailed down her face. From behind Alucard's arms wrapped around her, their cold grasp seemed comforting now. 'You are very much like your mother, but you are different in so many ways. You are more courageous then Integra ever could be.'

'I failed,' Elizabeth thought back, 'I'm dead.'

'You did not lock be up,' Alucard said, 'You made the choice you wanted to and you were prepared to face the consequences. Integra could never have made that decision, it involved too much risk. Integra never would have let me close to her, she was too frightened. You are not your mother, you are your own woman Elizabeth Hellsing.'

'Alucard,' Elizabeth thought, turning. Alucard did not release her. Elizabeth now faced Alucard, their face mere hairs apart. Alucard leaned foreword and pressed his cold lips to hers. Elizabeth suddenly realized two things, the first being how sharp her senses were, the second was that she was wearing a silk nightgown. Elizabeth had never really been kissed by a man before, sure, boys had given her innocent pecks on the cheek, but she had never really had one laid on her. Alucard's tongue flicked gently across her lips and Elizabeth opened her mouth to his, shivering as his hands caressed her neck.

'Elizabeth,' Alucard thought to her as they parted for a moment. He looked deep into her red eyes and put one hand under her chin. 'Know that you need not fear me, but if you truly regret this, then I will permit you to leave this world permanently.' Elizabeth gave no reply, from that moment on her mind was focused on Alucard. He pulled her closer and Elizabeth, out of habit, gasped or breath as a shock of pleasure ran through her. Alucard leaned her back on the bed and did what few vampires ever did to one another, he slowly brushed her scarlet hair from her neck and sank his fangs into Elizabeth's glorious neck. Both of them knew that, through this act, they were bound to one another as mates. Elizabeth moaned quietly and shivered as sensations swept through her body.

Elizabeth's hands removed Alucard's shirt to reveal a muscle structure that would put the world's greatest body builder to shame and make the most graceful dancer appear a waddling duck. Alucard's skilled hand stripped the nightgown from her pale body, and the rest is not to be shared (no lemons), for sweet things said on a marriage bed are never to be repeated.

Ok: this is the end of the first installment of the Elemental Trilogy.

Like it, hate it?

Please review, I love criticism.

Flames are welcome, just review.

I did leave some questions, such as:

What will happen to Hellsing now that Elizabeth is dead?

Also, what ever happened to Anderson?

You'll have to wait for the sequel: Divine Element (and don't worry, it's coming soon, I've already started work on the 1rst chapter.)
