Ok, here we are, chapter seven. Already! I'm actually very surprised at myself. Hope you enjoy!

Tell me. What do you see me as, Master?

Do you see me as just another fledgling of yours? A burden? One who can't do anything right? One who can't follow orders?

Or do you see me as no one? To you do I even exist? Sure you may act like it sometimes, but other than that, I, I don't know.

It hurts, Master, it really does. Me following in your shadow, under your watch, me as your student, all of it, it hurts me. Maybe it shouldn't. But I think that perhaps it is the way that you treat me.

Last night, why did you do what you did? Us being locked in that room, my decision, all that crap. Honestly I don't even know why you did it. And I can't even begin to think of reasons why you did either.

And last night I saw a side of you I had never seen before, it was different for me, yes, but still, I would like to say that you were concerned and you cared, but I can't.

I hope you hear me now, Master. I really do. I want you to know how I feel.

Seras lay on her bed one night after the event that happened between her and Alucard.

These were thoughts, words unsaid. But she knew, to her master, they didn't go unsaid, not at all.

"I have to get some sleep or something." Seras said to herself. After all, she did have a headache from sending thoughts to her master all night and thought it was best she sleep.

Seeing as she was already lying down in bed, Seras didn't think it was necessary to prepare herself to sleep.

So Seras lay there staring at the lid of her coffin contemplating about everything that had happened to her in the past day, again.

I wish I understood you Master, I really do.

Yeah me too, Police Girl, me too.

Why don't you just talk to me or something?

I have no reason to talk to you about anything.

I'm tired of not understanding!

Then live with it! Yeah I wish I understood myself sometimes too but you don't see me complaining about it!

Master, please, help me to understand.

Are you deaf or something? Didn't you hear what I just said?

Master, it's just that, I...

Seras walked over to Alucard, putting her directly in front of him.

That I...

She lifted her arm and brought her hand to the left side of his face.

You see it's because I...

Standing on the tips of her toes, she looked him straight in the eyes and leaned her forehead against his.

I...

And as if in one swift motion, Seras kissed him, stepped down, and ran out of the room before anything else could be said.

Seras woke up with a start and hit her head on the top of her coffin. "Dammit." She muttered under her breath, for two reasons...

First of all, her head hurt like hell.

Second of all was self explanatory.

"Now he's putting himself in my dreams?" Seras said loudly, placing her hand on her head.

"This is insane! Why would he have me dream about this?" Seras said opening the lid of her coffin.

"Is this what he wants to happen or something? Damn I wish I understood him." Seras said shaking her head.

Seras got out of bed and walked over to the table on the other side of the room. There in one of the drawers she found a couple pieces of paper and a pen.

"I wonder if maybe I should write this down." Seras said to herself.

Almost as soon as Seras picked up the paper out of the drawer, she felt a pain in her right hand and dropped the paper.

Seras looked down and found blood slowly escaping from a small cut on her hand.

"A papercut." Seras said examining the cut.

Yes, a papercut.

Alucard's voice ran through Seras' head.

Drink the blood from it, Police Girl.

"No!" Seras shouted and sat down on the floor as if she were a young child.

Drink it, Police Girl. If you're ever going to drink blood, right now is the perfect opportunity.

"No I won't do it!" Seras cried.

A noise could be heard from the back of the room. Before Seras had the opportunity to look behind her to see what it was, Alucard appeared behind her.

"Stand up, Police Girl." He said coldly.

Yay another chapter done. I'm guessing that this is why this story is called Papercuts. Really, I had another idea totally different than this one when I first started...but somehow, I ended up with this.

I really do apologize for the short chapters. It's just I have some weird problem with updating long chapters, I can't do it. I do have a really good idea for the next chapter, but, I stopped here.

Hope you enjoyed!-Neverland's Apprentice
