Sorry for the long wait on updates.. Enjoy. I do not own anything Hellsing or Hellsing related.

Seras could hear the whispers of the residents of the manor. There was tension between some of them. Some were afraid and others were curious of who the intruder was. Seras would address the manor later about who Alucard was, right now she just wanted the comfort of Sasha and Don. The only ones that truly knew the truth behind who turned her and her story of how she served for the great Hellsing.

Seras could feel his eyes on her yet she knew she was alone, which made her roll her eyes, all she wanted was some privacy. She made it to the ballroom to find both Don and Sasha setting up for the nights festivities. Seras was finally about to feel happy about something.

"Oh my god you are awake. I have been worried so much since he took you." Sasha said as she came over to her. She smiled as Sasha checked her over, making sure that she was fine. "Oh your ok. He didn't hurt you did he?" Seras shook her head. "No Sasha he didn't and I'm thankful that for that. But he did make me feed from him." Don and Sasha looked concerned at that. "Why is he here now? I thought he was gone for good" So did Seras. She wasn't expecting to see him after their goodbye. She just shrugged her shoulders.

" How long is he here for?"

" I don't know. He barely told me why he was here. He didn't mention how long he was going to stay for and I was not going to hang around and demand answers. I will address everyone later when I can talk to him more. They have the right to know who has entered our home. Please don't say much to anyone else until I get the chance to talk to him. I don't wish to cause a panic. As for tonight I want to have fun and maybe get a little drunk. Its been a while since we had a party" She smiled at them both. Trying to hide her worry about tonight. She knew that he would come up from his chambers and she had to prepare for drama

.

"It will be fine honey. Don't sweat the small stuff. We want you to enjoy the night. Let your hair down and have fun. Running this house has been taking its toll on you."
"I agree with Sasha. You have been rushing around like crazy lately. And you have been having nightmares more and sleep walking. We thought you stopped the sleep walking part."
" I did but last night was different I knew I was awake and I felt something pulling me towards that room. Something new and I couldn't help myself but to go to him. The room I mean." Seras blushed. Yes she had feelings for Alucard but she wouldn't admit it so easily. Especially not to Alucard himself. That was the last thing she needed. More teasing from him about those "human" emotions. She had fought to keep her humanity in tack, she didn't want to turn out like him. Some days were harder then others. But those were the days she was thankful for the two vampires that stood in front of her that kept her grounded.

While Seras was away Alucard remained in his chambers. Secretly following her, listening to her conversations. He couldn't take his eyes of her. He had tried to read her mind but she had blocked him from even entering, he had searched for a hole but she was barricaded up and it was hard for him not to try. He needed and wanted to know what she was thinking. Alucard growled when he saw her talking the male vampire who she was dancing with a night ago and the female that stood up him. He didn't like the male the most. He wanted him to stay away from his Seras. Alucard just wanted Seras to stay in his chambers forever. Just the two of them. He knew he was going to have to gain Seras trust and win her back. She didn't know that he missed her and thought of her everyday from the day he left. He wondered if she had felt and done the same. Alucard wanted her to be his mate, to serve beside him. To take back the world so humans feared them again.

As the day progressed into night. Everyone had had dinner, chatted and gone to get to ready for tonight. Seras was in chambers. Planning a little fun in her head for when Alucard would come up, she had no doubt he would make a appearance. He couldn't help but make a scene. But she would make him wish he hadn't returned. Looking at herself in her mirror she smiled at herself. The dress she wore was a full length with two slits up the side up to her thighs. The all to familiar shade of red, blood red, topped off with knee high heels. Seras blushed at herself, she couldn't remember the last time she felt like this.

Making her way down the stairs to the lobby she knew that vampires were watching her. Half of her wanted to hide in her room. The other half didn't care. Tonight was about having fun and that was what she was going to do. Before going to the party Seras took a short detour, she went to where she had set up a memorial of sorts for Sir Integra. Opening the door she was greeted with a portrait of her old boss. She sat in front of it. " I know you would disapprove of tonight but I have always and will always celebrate your birthday. Even if no one else knows what this party means. I am sure you know that Alucard has returned to the Hellsing Manor sir. I don't know how I should feel about it. I am happy to have him back but at the same time wishing he never had returned. I am sure you would have some wise words to help in this situation but alas you are not and each day I miss you more then the last. You helped me grow in the vampire I am today. Happy Birthday Sir Integra."
Seras sat in silence for a couple minutes before going to greet everyone.

As she exited the room she noticed Alucard leaning against the wall three metres away. Of course he would have found her. Seras had planned on pretending to not notice him as she made he way passed him but one of his tendrils slithered its way around her waist pulling her back to him. He pushed her against the wall, his tendrils holding her hands up above her head. Another around her neck. Holding her in place. Seras looked at Alucard and chose her words wisely so she didn't cause a scene.

"What are you doing Alucard?" A simple question.

"What does it look and feel like my sweet little vampire?" he replied as his nails clawed at her skin. His spare hand grabbing her breast through the dress. A gasp escaped her lips.
"What do you want Alucard.?" Seras tried to ignore the slight amount of pleasure she was getting from having him touch her.

"My dear Seras can you just enjoy this instead of making small talk?." He lent in, his lips meeting hers. Alucard forced her to open her mouth to him with his snake like tongue Seras had no choice but to open. Their fangs clashing as they kissed. She felt his hand go to her ass and grab it, making her squeak. Seras wanted to fight him but she knew that would not be good and he would be more demanding than he was right now. But this felt wrong, Seras summoned her own tendrils and grab Alucard's pulling them away from her hands long enough to make an escape.
He growled as he felt his tendrils being pulled away from her, giving her enough space to push him away from her. Alucard tried to reclaim some sort of power of her but her shadows kept blocking her.
"Why stop Police girl?"
Seras looked at him. He knew she hated that name and knew he was trying to get her mad. She just shrugged. "You got boring. All kissing. Groping. Nothing serious. If I want to be touched in that manner I can easily do it myself." Seras stopped when she noticed she was getting under his skin, she she decided to push him right over " Or I can find a male who can do it for me, I am sure there are plenty right now who would be up to the job. It would get quite boring by myself after all." She blushed at her owns words. Alucard growled and looked at her sternly.

One of his tendrils grasping her chin, hard, "You are mine, Seras. NO other man is going to have you. You will be mine and you will enjoy it." Alucard was clearly mad if he thought they were going to be such a thing.

"How do you know I even want you? Such a big ego I must say" Seras growled back.

" You still don't know your place do you?"

" I am not your fledging I no longer have to listen to you Alucard" She moved her chin out of his grasp. "I stopped listening when you left."

Seras turned away from him, hoping that for the rest of the night he would leave her alone. She felt silly for showing such much emotion to him. Seras smiled at herself as she entered the ballroom, she dared throw a glance back the hallway and saw Alucard had gone.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. And thank you for coming to join us on this night." Seras spoke into the microphone, addressing vampires came so much easier now then it did years ago.
"Over to your left is some of the freshest blood we have had here in a long time. Make sure to enjoy yourself tonight." Everyone clapped as Seras left the stage to sit in her usual seat up front, a place where she could watch and still join in the fun. Sitting next to Don and Sasha, Seras looked at her glass, taking a sip she could tell this was type O- not her favourite but for now she just wanted to drink and forget the little make out session with Alucard.

"What a beautiful night" Seras gasped as Alucard spoke into her ear. She didn't sense him come up. Sasha's glared at the vampire. "Only took you five minutes to ruin Seras's good mood. Just leave us alone. " Sasha spoke sternly to him. Seras gave her a toothy grin. She had some balls to speak to the King of vampires in such a disrespectful manner.

"Now now if Seras wanted me to leave she would have said so herself. I don't think she needs someone speaking for her."
Seras shook he head. "Honestly both of you, Alucard stop tormenting my friend. What was so desperate that you needed to interrupt my night.?" Seras asked as she took anther sip from her glass. Signalling a young vampire for a refill. "Would you like some blood? " She offered when the young one had finished filling her glass up. "I much prefer it come from you my darling. I like fresh blood" Alucard whispered trailing his nails under her chin, tilting it up to face him better.

"Care to dance.?"

"Really? I didn't think the great Alucard danced. Let alone want to dance with me" Seras looked at Alucard wide eyed. She couldn't believe he asked her to dance.
"Well enlighten me then Seras, accept my invitation to dance." Alucard left he at the table and went to the dance floor.
"You cant be thinking of dancing with him?" Don questioned her.

"He is toying with you Seras. He using your feelings to manipulate you, he knows how you feel. Don't trust him."
Seras looked to the dance floor many had moved away from the Alucard and his eyes glowed red, watching her. Waiting to see what she would do.

"What else am I going to do Don? I fear he will make my night hell if I don't dance with him. This may be the only time I can talk to him without fighting. "
Don's chair scarped against the tiles loudly, causing others to look their way. "HE IS USING YOU."

"Don you are making a scene." Sasha stood up and tried to calm him down, the sound of skin being hit echoed. Sasha fell to the ground, holding her face.
"How dare you hit her" Seras yelled as she ran over and aimed a small gun at his head. She always had a gun on her in case of such emergencies.
"You wouldn't kill me. You are to much of a goody two shoes. No if you wont kill that bastard you wont kill me" He pointed in Alucard's direction.

She looked at Don and smiled. "Oh is that right? Remember who killed the bitch fledging you had oh be around 4 years ago. Or the slut you bought home and didn't leave who threaten to harm us if we didn't just allow her to live here. Who killed them? Not you. Not Sasha. It was me. I had to do while you were to drunk to realise what was happening. I am done with all your mistakes. I have forgiven you but this is the final straw."

"You are still his puppet. You still listen to him like he is your master." Don laughed at Seras. Alucard chuckled at the immaturity of the male vampire in front of him.

"No not true. I have been able to live without his orders for a while." Seras stopped wasting her breath.

"That maybe true for now but the time will come soon and you will be his dog again."
Seras growled. "He just called me a dog" she said to herself in her mind. She didn't have time to think before she felt a bullet fly by her into Don's head, blood spattered on her face.

"Pathetic excuse for a vampire." Alucard said returning his gun to his holster.
"I was going to do that you know. But as usual you have to butt in." Seras turned her gun to him.
"Couldn't help yourself could you? Was it because he spoke bad about you. About the KING OF VAMPIRES." The crowd that surrounded started talking amongst themselves. "Yes he is Dracula. The one true vampire himself. The selfish ass who created us. My former master." Seras said staring at Alucard.

"Now I wish to end the night. Everyone go away. Leave us." Many vampires were all to eager to leave the room, they were scared. Even Sasha left without having to be told twice.

"He was my job to take out Alucard. I have no need for you to do it for me. "
"You sure seemed in a hurry to kill him. Chat chat chat." Alucard mocked her as she came closer.

" Like you haven't done that before, with the Valentine brother. You have to realise he was my friend. It not as easy to just shoot him in the head. But you wouldn't know you have no friends. He was a good friend who I loved who made mistakes but then don't we all Alucard?"

She stood in front of him. Her head tilted to the side.
"I have a life. I have friends and yes I still have human emotions but I can not give up my humanity so quickly as you gave up yours."

"Seras, I know all this. There was once a time where I did want you to get rid of such emotions, they slowed you down. Made you weak and you refused to drink the blood. But I see they have made you strong as well."

Seras sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose. Now she understood why Sir Integra got so annoyed at him. He was so confusing and his moods were all over the place.

"We have to talk Alucard. You cant just come here and expect everyone to bow to you and listen to you. No they will not. I have been taking care of them and they listen to me. You are a stranger who now has a name and they might be afraid of you. After all you are the reason we exist. You, for once in your undead life have to be patient." Seras said looking up at him. "But right now this room has many eyes and ears watching and listening so I must ask you to follow me, we can talk privately in my chambers." Alucard looked slightly surprised at what she was saying. Her Chambers? His demon spoke to him, "That's a invitation right?" He chuckled at his demon. He knew it was not an invite but he was going to take it if it meant he could be alone without others interrupting..
