Seras shot out of bed like a dart. It was her birthday – her 20th birthday…well it would be if she had an age anymore. I was her first birthday with her new Hellsing family.
She darted for the bathroom to brush her hair and get dressed . She was orded by Integra to come to her office at 3:pm. She didn't know what she wanted – well she kinda did. Integra was quite cheerful. (a somewhat rare sight.)
In integra's office….
"Walter! Have you finished wrapping it?"
"Almost Sir!"
Integra and walter had bought something for Seras – Something they think she deserved for all her hard work and loyalty. There were no decorations or banner – But something better.
Knock knock knock knock
"Sir Integra?"
"Oh my god!" Integra gasped "She's here!"
"I'm done sir!" Walter said brining in a box wrapped in pink.
"Come in Seras." She smiled.
Seras walked into the office. She walked up to integra and bowed.
"So Victoria?" Integra chuckled "How does it feel to be 20?"
Seras giggled "It's okay I guess. What did you want to see me for, she said trying to act naïve."
Integra beckoned Walter. He walked in holding the Box. One under his arm and carrying a large cake.
Seras gasped. She genualy was surprised. A Cake? And a present? Now she felt spoilt. It almost brought tears to her eyes that her new family cared for her so much that they bought her a present and made her a cake.
"You shouldn't have." She blushed "I don't diserv-!"
"That's where your wrong miss Victoria." Walter smiled "You do diserve it for everything you do."
Seras blushed. She loved the attention she was getting. She almost felt guilty for forgetting Integra's Birthday last month.
She walked over to the cake – which was a sponge filled with cherry sauce that tasted almost like blood, and a red candle with '20' on it. She blew out the candle and walter handed her the box. She paused and looked at Sir Integra who gave a nod. She sat down and looked at the brightly wrapped box. She gently tugged the ribbon and opened the packaging – reveling a shiny, pink IPOD.
Seras stared at it wide eyed at her gift.
"It's a Nano!" She gasped with delight. "I've wanted one of these for ages!
"that's good." Walter said "because We all know how much you love music."
"I-I don't know what to say…" She sniffed.
"How about thank you?" Integra smiled.
"Of course!" Seras laughed "Thank you both!"
"Your very welcome my dear" Walter said. "now, would you like a piece of your cake?" He asked picking up a knife.
"Sure." She smiled "But…what about master."
Seras' heart suddenly sank. She knew Alucard slept most of the day – but today was her birthday. He
"Don't worry." Integra chuckled slighty. "He'll proabply come and see you later."
"oh…" Seras murmered. it was not the answer she was hoping for. And all of a sudden; she didn't feel like celebrating.
"I'm not hungry right now Walter….." she smiled weakly. "I think I'm just gonna go listen to my new IPOD…if that's okay?"
Integra saw the hurt in Sera's eyes. She was filled with sympathy for her.
"Okay seras…" She said "we won't eat without you."
With a bow, Seras left the office, not feeling like the birthday girl – but a kid who just had a huge lump in their stocking.
"that poor girl…" Walter sighed.
Integra sat up suddenly; filled with a mixed feeling of anger and sadness.
"Alucard!" She yelled "What your up to had better be worth it!"
"don't worry master." Alucard said telaphathicaly. "I'll be back in time…"
Sometime later in the shopping center…..
"Hello sir." How can I help you?
"I Ordered a prom dress about 2 weeks ago."
"okay sir. What name is it under?"
"…Alucard…"
