Chapter One
A Disobedient Draculina
"No drinking blood today huh little police girl?" Alucard said sighing in disappointment. The tall vampire stared down at his fledgling in disappointment.
"No master, I can't do it. Its not right," The small blonde said sadly, her bright blue eyes cast down to the ground. She sat uncomfortably in the oak chair not looking up at her master or Sir Integra.
"You can't be allowed to do this any longer police girl. If you will continue to behave this way then you cannot be allowed to go out on field missions. In your weakened condition I will not allow you to go gallivanting around the English countryside half starved." Sir Integra announced, taking a cigar from Walter's outstretched hand. "No more field missions for you until further notice and that is all. Do you understand me?"
"Yes sir, I understand." Seras said sadly. How could she argue with Sir Integra? This had happened so many times before, this same conversation. She just couldn't do it. Drinking blood was something she had strictly vowed to never do. The thought alone was too repulsive. No more, no more talk of this drinking blood, it wasn't ever going to happen.
"Is that all Sir Integra?" Seras asked a bit downcast.
"Yes, you're dismissed." The commanding blonde said with a wave of her hand. The petite vampire got up from her seat, her eyes looked up at her master for a moment but he looked away from her. She wasn't going to get any sympathy from him. She wanted so much to please him, but she could not let go of the last bits of her human self. Closing the door Seras leaned against it, briefly before heading to her room. "I won't lose myself just to please you, I can't do it." She thought sadly.
Taking a long drag from her cigar Sir Integra sat in silence for a moment before addressing her servant.
"Alucard I questioned your motives when you brought that girl to work here. If I remember correctly you said that she would be worth the trouble. Well servant, I am questioning your judgment because she is proving to be nothing more then a nuisance. She's like a child with a gun to put it. I am very disappointed with you Alucard."
"I'm sorry master, I will try my best to change the police girl." Alucard said, assuring his master that this conversation would not happen again. This was unacceptable; he had angered his master, which was something he could not let Seras get away with. After being dismissed Alucard opened a portal and came to the door of Seras's room, he didn't bother to open the door. The small young woman had been in the middle of getting dressed into her nightgown. Her shirt hanging on her bureau and she had just been slipping off her skirt. She turned to find her master coming at her but had no time to protest cause in one fluid motion he had grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to the wall. She flailed wildly trying to escape from his grasp, her small fingers tried to pry his large hand off her frail neck.
"Master your hurting me!" she shrieked.
"I don't give a damn if I am hurting you police girl! Now let me tell you a little story. There is a natural order in the world, and this order has been upheld from the beginning of time. When baby birds don't learn to fly what happens to them police girl?"
"They die," she murmured with the little breath she had.
"Every animal on this pathetic planet follows the same rule, its survival and right now you are the little baby bird who is not learning fast enough. Your asking for death and I am not going to help you, after a time I am going to leave you to try to survive on your own and believe me your not going to be able to do such a thing. You follow my rules police girl or I might as well just throw you out into the morning light. You have until late tomorrow to get your act together or I will just have to let nature take its course."
With that the mighty No Life King took the girl and threw her to the floor. She quickly covered her breasts with her arms and stared down at the ground her face red from embarrassment and shock. She listened to her master's boots as they disappeared out of her room and down the hall. Shaking, she wandered over to her drawer and pulled out her nightgown and slipped it on. Into her coffin she climbed, staring straight up at the ceiling.
"I don't understand why is drinking blood so necessary? I mean I am getting along well without it. I don't want to lose myself but making master angry with me is something I would never want to do. I'm so confused, what should I do?" She asked to the atmosphere. She wished that there were someone that she could talk to about all this. Well there was one, but he wasn't the type she usually wanted to talk to about such things. Curling up in the coffin, she closed the lid for another day's sleep.
Night came and Seras Victoria began her long evening of waiting. She did nothing at all for the whole evening, not a thing. Well except try to talk to the person she thought of last night.
"Wait, hold on he said that he would kick you out!" Pip shouted above the firing grounds. Pip and his comrades were out enjoying a day of relaxation and now they were finishing it off with a bit of late night drinking and target practice. The young man took a seat next to Seras in a small chair. "Listen Seras, you know that Alucard is probably just bluffing."
"Not this time Pip, he was very angry with me. I even upset Sir Integra as well, I'm just too weak." Seras said looking down at her feet. She felt someone grab her hand and she looked at Pip. His face looked deeply concerned, she was so used to seeing him when he was attempting to grope her that this seemed very odd.
"Seras, your not weak don't ever say such a thing. Just want to let you know if you do get kicked out you can always join up with us. Plus, we would love to have you around permantley." he said with a toothy grin.
"Ah Pip, and for a moment I thought you were actually being sincere and gentlemen like for once." She said getting up with a sigh. Pip was a bit taken aback but quickly called after her.
"I wasn't joking about joining us! If that bastard kicks you to the curb just tell the ole Captain and we will come and get you!"
It was like just one night of long torture. All she saw was a big packet of blood on her table. She fought back and forth with the idea of drinking it. An unbearable hunger was growing in the pit of her stomach. She licked her lips and tapped the plastic covering. Maybe just a sip she thought as she uncapped it and poured it into the bowl. Her finger stirred the contains of the bowl, she felt herself drool a bit as she stared at the liquid. The fragrance of it, the color, oh it looked so lovely. Closer and closer she put her face to the bowl before suddenly coming to her senses. "No, I can't do it!" Seras quickly took up the bowl and threw it to the wall. The porcelain pieces rained down onto the floor. She knew she had sealed her fate with that one little action.
Alucard appeared as he was supposed to, coming through the ceiling to visit his little Draculina as she sat on her coffin. He eyed the shattered bowl and the blood stained floor.
"You have not drank, you know your punishment Seras Victoria for your continued disobedience."
"Yes sir, I understand." She closed her eyes, awaiting whatever punishment she was going to receive. What did this mean though? Was she really going to be kicked out of the Hellsing manor? Alucard came behind her and grabbed her by the back of the neck and lifted her little body up. "Please! Don't throw me out master! I can still be a good servant to you and Sir Integra please just give me another chance." She cried out as she disappeared from one portal to another. To the roof they assended, the night sky was lightening as the dawn was coming soon. The mighty No Life king held the petite girl over the side of the manor her feet dangling several feet from the ground. She was sobbing, pleading for forgivness. The crimson tears staining her face.
"Good bye Seras Victoria," he said in his husky voice. She waited for the plunge but nothing happened. With a quick motion, she was tossed onto the roof and she tumbled along. Wincing, she looked up to find her master, staring at something far off in the distance. She listened carefully to anything that her master must possibly be hearing. But there was nothing. Carefully she approached her master's side, wondering if she should ask him what it was he was concentrating so intently on. He must have heard her silent question but did not respond to her directly. Instead she found him speaking to him self.
"Acacia no it couldn't possibly be you. You died along with all the rest of them that day, but it must be you. If it is, come to me my creature of the night." A gust of wind picked up and a light scent of jasmine caught Sera's nose. She looked at her master's face, he looked strangely joyful and usually that only meant that a fight was coming.
"Go to bed Seras, the dawn is coming." Alucard said dismissing the blonde without much thought. Seras did not protest and walked off down to her room. Her thoughts remained on what her master had said. Who was coming to see him? Who is Acacia?
