[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

As the car sped toward the Mission Site, I could feel butterflies fluttering in my stomach and I could hear my plus beat against the inside of my head. Integral looked at me noticing shaking slightly.
"Do calm down child. This is my last mission before I pass the organization over to you and I have to be sure you can do this." She sighs pulling a cigar out of a box and placing it to her lips.
"Yes mother." I say sitting up straighter and trying to look as bold and confident as she could even in her sickness. In the last year we had found out that she had cancer of the lungs. It was from the cigars that she smoked. She refused to give them up saying that since she was dying anyway what was the point of giving up something she enjoyed.
Alucard, who was sitting in a corner that was darkened by his presence, laughs at my attempts. "You know she can do it Integral... She just isn't as bold as you are. She gets that from her coward father." He smirks as my cheeks flare up with embarrassment.
Mother just ignored him and continued smoking. I looked at him with an un amused face. He just smirked his hand crossed behind his head in a relaxed position.
"Now Clara, I will only be here as a second." Mother locked eyes with me. "If they do give you trouble I will not be able to do anything since this is your mission."
"I know mother. I am prepared." I nod to her not letting the smile I want to produce slip onto my lips.
Alucard chuckles and shifts slightly looking up at the moon. I glare at him about to grumble at him when Mother starts coughing. I snap my attention back to her and notice the blood that is on the handkerchief in her hands.
"Mother, as the head of the mission I request that you go home as soon as I am dropped off. I can have Alucard as my second, seeing as we have Police Girl already on the scene taking care of the Vampires." My voice is shaking but I am very serious in what I say.
"That is a ridic-"
"I agree with the little girl." Alucard look out from under his hat. I keep myself from telling him to shut up like I usually do when he calls me little girl.
"Mother this is for your health. You can have Walter report back to you seeing as he is in the car ahead of us." I lock gazes with her.
"Fine. If that is what you wish, then I shall stay in the car as you leave and I will go home once you both are out of the car." She sits back her eyes closed.
The car comes to a stop and I step out looking as strong as I can being 5' 5" and frail looking. I stare at the men with a calm expression. The men stared at me with a shocked expression until Alucard got out of the car towering over me and making me feel like a little kid.
"So you are the head of the Hellsing orginization?" They address him instead of me.
"No she is the head of the Hellsing orginizatinon." He corrected them stepping back.
"Yes. I am and I expect your full respect. I may look frail, but I am not. Currently we have sent one of our agents ahead to secure the area. Soon we shall send our second agent to finish things off." I fold my hands in front of me. "Now gentlemen. Lets go talk."
I give Alucard a signal to go to the area as I follow them to a more secure place. The Limo had drove off a while ago and I could still hear her coughing in the back of my mind.
"So where is Integra little girl?" A larger man growls trying to intimidate me.
I stare at him with a blank face. "Well seeing as she is diagnosed with lung cancer she is resting." I state. "I am her replacement. This was supposed to be her last mission but she became very weak and I demanded that she return to the Manor as soon as I was dropped off."
A man standing in the corner who looked no older then I stepped forward. "Leave her be. She is doing a better job than you schmucks did." He growls defending me.
I watch him then nodded. "Now what we have here is simply a vampire couple trying to complete some kind of ritual. It shall be take care of in no time."
The nodded muttering and went on with other business. I turn to the man who helped me and smirked.
"Thank you sir. Though I was doing fine." I state. "What is your name?"
"Victor von Sangria." He took my hand in his and pressed his lips against it. "It's a pleasure to meet you...?"
"Clara Hellsing." Alucard stepped from the shadows looking down at him with a glare. "I would advise you take a step back."
I turn and scowl at Alucard. "He helped me out be nice. It's an order."
He steps back his arms crossing over his broad chest.
"It's nice to meet you Clara, but it seems your babysitter doesn't like me." Victor releases my hand with a small smirk.
"He's not my babysitter." I frown.
"She is my master now." Alucard said with a small frown. "I advise we go back to the Manor, Clara."
With a shocked look I call up one of the many cars and order it to take us back to the Manor. When we get there Alucard grabs me and phases me into Mother's room.
She looks up from her bed pale faced but still as beautiful and strong as ever. She was dying and I could tell by the look in the doctor's eyes. I went up and took her hand.
"Mother..." I whisper tears forming in my eyes. She starts to cough again this time more blood coming out the usual. Once this stopped she didn't look at me but instead locked eyes with Alucard.
"She is your Master now. You protect her, and make sure she is educated." She pauses coughing. "Take her out of here!" She ordered him.
Alucard scooped me up and walked out of the room with me struggling in his arms. "TAKE ME BACK! IT'S AN ORDER! TAKE ME BACK!"
"Respect your mother's last order Clara." Alucard didn't look down at me as he walked. I wiped my tears away and stopped sobbing. I moved closer to him though it provided no comfort.
"Alucard did you care for mother?" I ask look up at him. He looks down at me for a second thoughtful.
"She was my master. I was her slave. That was the extent of our relationship." He stated in a cold voice. I knew that was his way of saying yes and no at the same time.
Alucard stepped into my room and placed me on the bed. I watched him as he started to walk away. He could feel my eyes on him so he turned and looked at me.
"Yes Sir Clara?" He asked his eyes glinting.
"Alucard... Do you care for me?" I ask messing with the edge of my skirt.
"You are my master. It is my job." This was his way of saying no, or so I thought.
