Anime: Hellsing.

Pairing: Seras Victoria and Alucard.

Disclaimer: Sadly I do not own any characters of Hellsing. Someone much smarter than me came up with this brilliant idea first and was able to make it work better than I ever could. I am also making no profit off this work unless happy reviews can be turned into cha-ching. Please enjoy my first Fanfic to be read by the public.

Lectures.

Chapter 1; Cold.

The storm had been raging on in the night over London, sending rain plummeting to the pavement as it tried to drench any and all things in its path. The wind beat on the Hellsing mansion in a ruthless effort to cave in the strong structure which had stood for years as a symbol of both the fact vampires existed and the idea they were kept in check with honor and dignity…at least that was what Integra had expressed when she first became Sir Hellsing all those years ago. The racket of the wind howling outside had finally reached the drafty dungeon where a very angry Draculina lay with her eyes so wide she felt they had been glued open, like when her master had done so as a prank. She shivered as if she were cold, but shrugged as she rolled over and deepened her form into her covers to salvage the little warmth she could find in the mattress due to the fact she herself no longer generated body heat to speak of.

Seras tried to breathe into the blankets, hoping that would warm her body, but seeing as she no longer needed to breathe, her breath was cold. This caused the young girl to groan at the realization the very fire of life had been snuffed out of her in exchange for the power of the vampire, power she had yet to master. That thought sent more shivers up her back when she recalled how her master had snarled when she failed a simple transformation that evening. The memory was so vivid she sat up half expecting her tormentor to be standing beside her. Her breath caught in her throat when she hit her head on the lid of her coffin and she let her head fall backwards to her pillow as her head began to ache.

I am overreacting to a simple chastising, Seras thought sadly, rubbing where her forehead had slammed into the lid. It's not as if it is the first time I was not in Masters' good graces.

With a slight groan she felt for the button to raise her coffin lid and was reminded how thankful she was to have a button inside where master could not steal and hide it away as he had all her past remotes. Thanks to Walter and a few amusing rants from Integra she felt safer knowing he was outside her coffin and not in. That startling thought stopped her from sitting up as she felt her cheeks light up.

Not that Master would ever want to do something like that…I-I mean t-th-that's just preposterous! She stood with a sigh and stretched. I am just thinking too hard. Master is a prankster and a pain in the neck, nothing more.

I am sorry to hear you think like that, Police girl. Alucards' voice suddenly interrupted her was so taken by surprised at hearing his voice, she cringed and her knee met the edge of her coffin as she hissed and sat to nurse the slowly bruising flesh. Tch, Alucard scoffed, is that anyway to conduct yourself when you master is talking to you, Police girl?

I-I-I am-m sorry, s-sir. Seras mumbled in her mind, knowing that normal conduct did not take place through the vampire mind chat line. You surprised me, was all. What can I do for you?

She waited patiently for her master to speak and just as she began to think he had either forgotten or ditched her, he spoke. Come to my chamber, there is something we must discuss.

Ummm, is it important, sir?

No, I gave you an order, but feel free to ignore your master. Yes, it's important! Alucard snarled. Stop asking questions and get moving.

Yes, sir. Seras sighed and made her way to the hall, sure to grab her robe to fend off the chill and to hide her ridiculous orange nightgown from her masters' critic eye. Don't need him to criticize anything else about me, not this late in the evening especially.

Chapter 1 FIN.
