Black Knight

chapter 1: pipsqueak enters

       She was only a small child at the time, a 6 year-old watching the brother she loved train to become a knight. Of course she wasn't permitted to watch, as it was unladylike but she did so anyways. Her brother's technique was flawless, the best of the best, of course anything her brother did was the best. But their name brings fear to the people around them, the house of Alucard, demons of the night, Rulers if the dark. It wasn't enough to save him, as he laid in his own blood cursed his sworn brethren the so called knights. Her brother's death left a great hole in the acrused family. But mustily for her, now she was alone with no one to show her the way. No one to tell her stories at bed, no one to show her affectation. Now all she got of the cold look from her father " child should be seen not heard " he would always tell her. Her mother " stop that foolishness ladies do not fight with swords". But she would get his revenge, even if it kills her.

So she trained in secret, she would find the one who betrayed him. The ones who let her brother die. With that thought in her mind she grew stronger, and over the years she was ready. Ready to join the knights. But no women could join the knights, so Her long reaven hair was gone replaced with messy short hair. Cut with an old knife her brother gave her. Her ladies strapped down tight, in truth she looked like a feminine boy, with her round dark eyes and face. However that would only play to her advantage. And she would use any means to get her revenge. She didn't say goodbye to anyone in her house, just left her hair on her armoire. It wasn't a home to began with. 

The tryouts master let out a hearty laugh as he looked at her. " a small pipsqueak like you , wants to join the knight Ha " he roared out as he slapped his large knee. She wiped her face after being sprayed with saliva and clutch her teeth together. Sure she was small but that was her advantage, she fast. " alright go on in and wait for your turn pipsqueak " he said waving her in still laughting.

 She made her way to the waiting area, there was more people waiting to fight then she thought. "cuse me, i'll take your stuff while you wait" she heard a soft voice call out to her. Slowly she turned around to the voice. It was a girl who seemed to be a bit older then herself was. The girl look worn down but cheerful with a smile on her freckled face. Not wanting to be rude she made her way over to the girl. " I'll take you're  name and number s-s....." the girl stop in awe as she looked at her face. 

" is that all? " she asked. taking her pack and cloak off and setting them on the table.

" a-ah and youre name and number" she said flustered for some reason

" oh number 13, Ludgar " she told the girl  

" l-Ludgar, thats a nice name, im Amelia " the girl said shyly  

  "ah its nic.." she was interrupted 

" Amelia quite ya flirten girl and get over here " a rough voice yelled 

Amelia turned more red " i-i-i wasn't papa " she cried and quickly a apologies, before taking the stuff away.

 The arena was bigger then she thought it would be, she made her way through the sea of participants like her. The match was interesting, it was one younger man and an older man who looked like they seen their share of battles. The two men went at it and she watched " mistake you left yourself open " she thought with a yawn.  soon the fight was over with the older man as its winner. 

" Ludgar of Ashton vs john of Atwater" where called for the next fight 

She jerk at the name, she was no long lady Estelle noble women but now Ludgar. She wasn't expecting to be called so soon but man her way to the ring. With a bow she glanced over her opponent. His boots where worn from years of practice and he was tall then her and twice her size. " backs against each other, lets have a clean fight" the try outs master called
