(A/N: Not that satisfied with the title of this chapter, but I liked the way it turned out. This time it's time for Seras to shine in all her vampire glory.)

Chapter 10: Bloodlust

Seras wasn't sure where she was going. What if Integra wasn't even here? Sure, Teresa's blood memories may have shown her master where the Hellsing leader had been at the time, but what if she had been moved since then? Or worse, what if they had already killed her?

No, Millennium wouldn't do that. Millennium wasn't that merciful. Integra was here, somewhere, and Seras would find her. And if she wasn't here, then they'd find out from someone else where she was, whether they wanted to talk or not.

Using her harkonnen like a club, she smashed her way through the crowd of ghouls, wanting to save her ammo. It sickened her that Millennium murdered all these people just to reanimate them for their ghoul army. The sick twisted bastards. They had to end this Nazi group once and for all before even more innocent lives were lost. And it would all end with Hitler and the major. They started all this over 50 years ago, and they had to put a stop to them once and for all.

After that… well, Seras wasn't really sure what would happen next. No doubt there was no shortage of evil people in the world. She supposed that she and her master would spend the rest of eternity of hunting them down. The thought sent a thrill through her.

Turning down another hall, there were rows of doors. She kicked each one down, shooting all that were inside. As far as she was concerned, everyone in this building needed to be put down, whether they were human, ghoul, vampire, or FREAK; with the exception of Integra, of course.

Kicking down another door, she found what seemed to be a laboratory of some kind. One straight out of a horror movie. And the things she saw in there, good God, what kind of sick madman would do things like this?

'The major, obviously.' Her mind told her.

That much was easy enough to figure out. But what the hell kind of experiments were they doing? Clearly trying to make some sort of creatures. Several hideous… things were growing in large tanks, and were very unappealing to look at. What other monstrosities had Millennium been planning on bringing into the world?

"Not while I'm here." She muttered.

Raising her gun, she unleashed a stream of bullets on the room and all of its sick experiments. When she was out of ammo, she raised several grenades to her mouth and ripped off the pins. She threw them into the room and rushed out. Several explosions followed. Whatever Millennium had been creating had just been put down. Now to get back to finding Integra.

She kicked down several more doors before finally finding the Hellsing leader. Integra was right where the major left her, chained to the wall with a ball gag in her mouth. The woman's eyes widened upon seeing Seras and she began trying to speak through her gag.

"Sir Integra!" Seras cried.

Rushing forward, she quickly looked over her master's master to see if she was ok. Aside from a cut on her cheek, she seemed relatively unharmed, much to Seras' relief. But she was still trying to talk.

"Just a second." Seras told her, and ripped the gag from her mouth.

"Seras!" Integra shouted, once she could talk. "There's someone else in here! Behind you!"

Upon reflex, Seras turned around, only to be sent crashing into the wall. Groaning, she looked up, seeing something large vanish into the floor.

"Careful, Seras." Integra told her. "He can move in the shadows."

'Well that's just great.' She thought. She was pretty sure that all vampires had an ability like that, but she had yet to learn how to do it herself.

"To your right!"

Seras looked. There was a shadow on the wall, and a large fist burst from it, punching her square in the face. There was a sick crack as her nose shattered, and she actually felt bone fragments hit her brain. Had she been human, that would have killed her for sure.

She healed quickly and jumped to her feet. Raising her gun, she shot at the shadow on the wall. It did nothing but make holes in the wall, not harming the shadow. It moved across the wall and up to the ceiling. Something slid down. It was a head, the head of a big bald man with bulging veins across his cheeks, sides, and the top of his head.

Seras raised her gun and fired. The bullet hit the main right between the eyes. He just grinned, exposing his sharp teeth, and slid into the shadows again.

"Fine then," Seras growled, taking aim with her harkonnen, "try this!"

She fired the large weapon. It blew a large hole in the ceiling. This didn't seem to harm the man though, at least not while he was in the shadow. It moved across the ceiling and into a bigger gather of shadows, hiding amongst them.

"Damn it." Seras swore. How the hell was she supposed to get to him? And the shadow he crawled into was connected to several other shadows in the room. He could be anywhere.

A gasping cry from Integra distracted her. Turning towards the Hellsing leader, she saw the brute's hand sticking out of the woman's own shadow, strangling her.

"Let her go!" Seras cried.

She rushed over, trying to pry the man's hands off Integra. He let go with one, but it shot out and grabbed Seras by the hair. Keeping hold of both her and Integra, he lifted her in the air. Seras hissed at the pain of being lifted by her hair, but did not stop trying to get the man's other hand off Integra's throat.

The man's face stuck out of the shadow and he grinned at her. At Seras' glare, he stuck his tongue out and began wiggling it around in a very sexual way.

'Pig!' Seras thought.

She reached into herself and summoned up her familiars, or familiar. Her shoulder seemed to rip open and a black mass flowed out. From out of the dark mass, a portion of Pip Bernadotte's body appeared. Raising his gun, he stuck it right into the open mouth of the brute and fired.

Blood and brains blew out of the back of the large vampire's head, and he released the two women, melting back into the shadows. He slid across the wall, but Seras kept a close eye on him. Taking up a grenade, she pulled the pin out and threw it at the moving shadow. The wall exploded right where the shadow was, leaving a large blast hole, and no shadow to be seen.

"Did you get him?" Integra asked.

Seras stared at the flaming hole. "I think so. Now I need to get you."

She reached for Integra's chains, pulling at them. The metal broke, freeing one of her hands. As Seras reached for the other one, something grabbed her foot in a tight grip. Looking down, she saw the brute's hand wrapped around her ankle.

Seras reached for the surgical equipment and seized the scalpel. She tried a different tactic, attempting to faze through the floor while stabbing it. The scalpel fazed through the floor without stabbing it, and a grunt of pain came from the shadow. The brute released her foot, and the shadow slid away, the scalpel going with it.

Now at a distance, the brute completely emerged from the shadows and Seras got a good look at him for the first time. The guy was huge. He was muscle upon muscle with veins bulging all over his body. It didn't look like his skin could handle that much muscle mass and was fit to burst at any moment.

Reaching up, the brute grabbed the scalpel that was sticking out of his throat and pulled it free. The wound healed instantly as he tossed the scalpel away and took a step towards her. It seemed like he was ready to fight out in the open, his face twisted with anger.

"All right then." Seras muttered, trying not to feel intimidated. She knew that a vampire's strength had nothing to do with the size of their muscles. And she was the Offspring of the most powerful vampire of all. That was as strong as you could get.

She charged at the brute, but he easily slapped her away. She hit the wall, but was instantly on her feet and on the attack again. She punched and kicked, but the brute either blocked or dodged every blow, and every one of his landed. How could such a big guy move so fast? It was like he knew every move she was going to make before she could even make it.

"Seras!" Integra shouted as the former police girl was knocked down again. "Listen to me, Seras. He can read your mind. He hears your thoughts as if you've spoken them out loud. He knows how you're going to attack. You have to keep your thoughts from him."

Seras got to her feet, feeling woozy. "W-Well, that explains a lot."

The brute just chuckled, motioning for her to come at him again. Seras did, doing the best to conceal her thoughts, just as she did when Alucard tried to read her mind when she didn't want him to.

It didn't work. The brute was still able to stop her blows. His arms wrapped around her in a bear hug and he began squeezing. Seras cried out as he crushed her, unable to break free from his hold.

It was impossible. There was no way she could keep her thoughts from him. He'd know exactly what she was going to do and was able to stop her. The only way she'd be able to attack successfully would be to act without thinking.

She was left with but one choice. She hated the idea, but she had to do it. Closing her eyes, she let her mind slip away and allowed the bloodlust to take over. Her demonic vampire side awoken and her instincts took over. When her eyes snapped open, they were glowing red as she began to 'vamp out'.

A savage snarl escaped from Seras and she bit the top of the brute's head. He released her and she was instantly on the attack. She lashed out at him with her claws, driving them into his flesh. The brute punched out at her, but she dodged the blow, grabbing his arm and chomping down on it. The brute cried out and pulled his arm back. A big chunk of flesh tore free, leaving a large bite behind.

Seras attacked again, not thinking, just lashing out like a savage animal. There were no thoughts for the brute to read, and thus no way to know how she would attack. Seras wasn't even completely aware of how she was attacking without thinking. She just struck, clawing, biting, punching, kicking, anything that would draw more blood.

The brute staggered back under Seras' onslaught, finally falling over. Seras was on him instantly, tearing into his flesh. The brute's large hands pounded down on her back as she tore through him, but she didn't even seem to notice, so caught up in her bloodlust. She was completely out of control.

Integra had to look away as the young vampire tore the brute apart in front of her. Blood and guts splattered across her and the room as Seras continued ripping his insides out. And when the sound of the brute's fists slamming down on Seras' back finally stopped, she cracked open an eye.

Seras was completely bathed in blood. The brute lay unmoving on the floor, but she didn't even seem to notice. She was still tearing through him. Already, she stood inside his actual body in the opening she had cleared out of him. His chest and stomach had been torn completely open and cleaned out. Pools of blood and piles of entrails were scattered about the room. Integra thought she recognized the crushed remains of the brute's heart among the bloody gruesome mess.

"That's enough!" she shouted. "Seras, that's enough! Stop it now!" The vampire ignored her as she continued to mutilate the brute's remains. "Seras Victoria, I am giving you an order! Cease this behavior at once!"

Seras stopped. Standing up straight, she looked down at the mess she made, then at her blood covered hands. Her glowing eyes narrowed and she let out a roaring howl as a rabid animal would after having killed its foe.

(A/N: I love it when Seras vamps out. Too bad Alucard hadn't been there to see that. He would have been so proud of her. But he has his hands full, as you'll see next chapter. If you review that is.)
