It was a very quiet, boring night for Seras as she took a stroll through the streets of London with Baskerville by her side. Her hands were shoved into the pockets of her light grey hoodie while music blasted from her headphones with her ipod on shuffle. She didn't listen much to the lyrics as her red eyes stared blankly at the sidewalk. Nothing was bothering her, but yet she found herself lost in her thoughts. What she was thinking about wasn't of any importance, just random things that came across her, one thing leading to the next. The only reason why she was even on this walk was because she wanted the fresh air and the big hellhound needed out of the house for a couple of hours. They did this about every single night.

Seras hadn't seen her master in a hundred and fifty-two years. He went off on his own, God knows where. He invited her to go with him, but she preferred London and decided to stay. It surprised them both when Baskerville refused to go with his master and stayed with the small blonde. Reasons unknown to her, Alucard decided to let her keep his dog for now. She guessed that he was worried about her and thought that the dog would be a good protector. Perhaps. Or maybe she was just fooling herself. Sebastian went off around the same time as her master did. She could only assume that he was going about collecting souls, feeding, and forming contracts. She never suspected that they were very close. The only reason why he talked to her was because they were both in the same position while working at the Hellsing Organization. Though, she had always enjoyed his company and considered him a friend. She didn't think about them often, but when she did she would remember how much she missed them.

A part of her wanted to be back at the Organization with her master and Sebastian, the good old days. But now she was here. Living life like before her time at the Organization, the only difference now was that she was a vampire. Seras thought about travelling, but never worked up the courage to actually do it. She thought about trying to contact her master, but never did it, mainly because she didn't want to bother him. She just wanted to be back in the action of killing undead creatures. Or being around others of her kind, mostly her master. She was just so bored. Seras jumped when she heard a thunderous bark over her music. She blinked away her thoughts as she returned to reality and glanced down at Baskerville. He was staring up at her with his upper body close to the ground, his butt in the air, and his tail wagging super hard. He barked and pounced around in his spot, clearly in the mood to play. Seras furrowed her brows at him as she slipped the headphones down around her neck. Normally the dog never acted like this on their nightly walks. He was only ever like this in the mornings while she was trying to sleep.

"What?" She questioned him even though she knew he couldn't answer. She always talked to Baskerville like he was a person. She was the typical girl who would have full length conversations with him or ask him a question. Sometimes she even answered for him. Who else was she going to talk to? She was too introverted to go out and make friends, that and she was too shy. Baskerville barked again at her before he jumped up onto his hind legs and placed his giant paws on her shoulders. Even standing as tall as her, Baskerville still wasn't at his full height. She remembered when he would stand tall with his paws on her master's shoulders, one of the few times she was actually concerned about how big the dog actually was. Seras smiled at the black dog, even though he was panting heavily in her face. All that hot air kept rushing in to choke her. "Ugh!" She couldn't help exclaim with a giggle. "You got puppy breath. Get down," She laughed and pushed the giant dog off of her. Baskerville got back into a low stance as he continued to bark at her. Why did he keep barking? He was never this rambunctious. And that tail of his! It was going a mile a minute! What was he so excited about? Was it possible that he was trying to tell her something?

Brushing it off that the dog was as crazy as his master Seras took out her pocket knife from her back pocket. She flipped it open and began to cut off her middle finger. It wasn't painful compared to all the things that have happened to her, and it was quite normal for her to do. Baskerville was fairly the unusual dog. He didn't like normal dog toys; he preferred things that weren't meant to be toys such: actual bones and body parts. Every now and then, she would cut off her finger to shut the dog up and play fetch with him. It didn't really bother her. She was used to gore, the pain was nonexistent, and her finger grew back within seconds. So why not do it? When she finished cutting through her finger, she gingerly closed the blade, placed it back in her pocket, and then threw her finger across the street. As the dog chased after it, Seras put her headphones back on and proceeded down the street. Baskerville trotted happily after her with her finger in his mouth.

The longer she walked, the more she felt that something was…off. There was a heavy tension of some sort in the air. The wind had completely stopped and all was so quiet, like the streets were dead and there was no one left on the earth. Seras eyes flickered about cautiously. She could sense humans in the buildings that she passed, but none were on the streets. Then again, it was two in the morning on a Tuesday night. They were most likely asleep or busying themselves with their own thing. But even so, the atmosphere was normally never like this. Before long the hairs on the back of her neck were standing at attention and she got this prickly feeling running down her spine. She could feel eyes on her. The little vampire paused on the middle of the sidewalk. Baskerville came to a stop too and looked up at her curiously. Seras stood there for a long while as her instincts went off, warning her about something. It didn't feel like a threat. It just felt like someone was watching her.

The Draculina closed her eyes to try and focus on that person's presence, but there was nothing. Besides her and Baskerville, there was no one else on the street with them. Not believing that, Seras turned and searched carefully for a human or some other supernatural creature, but she saw nothing. Perhaps she was starting to go crazy? She was wondering when insanity would come over her in her long eternal life. With a shake of her head, Seras turned back around and continued on her way. But a nagging feeling started to form in the back of her mind that she wasn't being paranoid, that there was something or someone most definitely following her. Her instincts had never failed her before, why would they start now? So, the Draculina closed her eyes and really tried to focus. She felt Baskerville's presence, but she dug harder to find who else was there. She blocked out the sound of her music and listened ever so carefully to the things around her.

For a brief second, Seras did feel someone else there with her. Her eyes flew open and her instincts immediately acted. Tendrils sprouted from her back and shot towards the building to her right at lightning speed. But instead of grabbing someone, it instead cracked the brick forming the ledge of the roof. Rubble rained down on her as she pulled back her head to stare up at the tall buildings, looking for the person she had sensed. But there was no one. Where had the person gone? Baskerville dropped her finger as he gave a thunderous bark. He stared up at the buildings too and woofed. She didn't know if he was barking because of the rubble that had lightly poured down on them or if he sensed that person that was hunting them. The Draculina defied gravity as she jumped into the air and landed gracefully on the roof of the tall building she had vandalized. Her eyes flickered about the city, searching rooftop after rooftop and the streets below, but there was no one in her line of sight. No one she could sense nor smell. She pulled her headphones off once more to let them hang around her neck as she turned to search behind her.

"Listen, I don't know who you are, but knock it off." She spoke calmly while she continued to look. "I'm not in the mood for your childish games. Just go find someone else to play with and leave me alone because, I'm warning you now, I am not a chick you want to fuck with." She was never given a response, not that she was expecting one. She was hoping with that warning whoever it was fucking with her will stop, but she had the dreadful feeling that she encouraged him more. Seras cautiously glanced down at Baskerville. He sat patiently on the sidewalk and stared up at her curiously. His tail started to wag when they made eye contact and he jumped to his feet to give her a happy little bark. The small blonde jumped back down onto the sidewalk beside her loyal dog. He rubbed his head against her thigh before he picked up his 'toy' and walked with her down the street. She didn't get far when red rose petals started falling from the sky, but just over her as if a little rain cloud was following her. It was almost magical to her, but also quite annoying that this person couldn't just leave her alone. Baskerville would jump in the air and snap his jaws at the petals, managing to catch a couple, but would end up spitting them right out. Seras gasped and looked up, but just as she did the rose petals stopped falling. Going cross eyed, the girl removed one of the petals from her hair and twirled it around between her fingers.

"What the?" She muttered and looked back to the buildings to search for the person who did this. Paranoid now, Seras kept her eyes on the sky before she started walking again. Her eyes flickered to each building she passed, waiting for movement or a sign that someone was there with her. But there was nothing. No petals, no movement, not a sound, not a person in sight. Testing it, Seras hummed to herself as she dropped her gaze to the sidewalk and waited patiently for something else to happen. In a matter of seconds, something did happen. Roses of all colors dropped down around her, falling from the sky, or what she assumed a person dropping them down as he jumped between buildings. She had the feeling that he was only playing with her because if he truly wanted to woo her, wouldn't he be down here flirting with her? Seras snatched a red rose from the air before tilting her head back to look upwards. "Knock it off!" She shouted, looking like a mad woman screaming at the sky. Baskerville barked at the sky with her as his tail started going crazy all over again. He moaned and groaned between each bark, sounding like he was actually trying to speak to tell someone off for her. She placed a hand on the top of his head to calm him.

"I'm about ready to sick you on whomever it is bothering us." The Draculina then knelt in front of the dog and cupped his face in her hands. "Do you know who it is bothering us?" She asked him in a baby voice. "Do you? Are you going to tear out his throat? Who's a good boy?" The dog's tail swished from side to side faster and faster the more she talked to him like that. He lovingly licked at her nose causing her to laugh. "Such a good boy," She said in her normal voice. "We'll kick his ass together if he continues to bother us." With that second warning, Seras stood up right and turned, but before she could take a step forward, a dead body landed hard in front of her on the concrete. Startled, the little vampire jumped back with a loud screech. At first she thought it was a man who just committed suicide, but looking closer she realized that he had been dead for a good several minutes. Confused and slightly concerned, Seras glanced upwards to once more look around her. "Uh," She drawled. "No, thanks, I already ate." She muttered awkwardly, which was actually a lie. She hadn't eaten at all today and was quite hungry, but she didn't like to partake from humans. Her eyes flickered back to the body just in time to see a blood bag land safely on top of it. Her eyes widened in surprise that the person bothering her knew her drink preference.

"Thank you?" Seras slowly drawled and looked all around as she hesitantly reached down to grab the blood bag. "This is the weirdest way a guy has ever flirted with me." She announced, believing that the man could hear her every word. In response, more flower petals started sprinkling down around her again. She brushed it out of her hair and off of her clothes unsure of what to do now or how to act. It was more than clear that the man wasn't going to show himself. Why? Was he embarrassed? Or was he still just playing with her? Still confused, Seras just pointed down the street. "I'm going to…go now…So…yeah. Bye?" She muttered. As she walked away, she couldn't help but look back at the dead body and the small trail of petals and roses. "That's going to be a weird crime scene," She whispered to herself. The rest of the way home was somewhat peaceful. Petals didn't rain down on her or roses or dead bodies. She and Baskerville got to enjoy the rest of their walk without being bothered, though she continued to feel eyes on her the entire way.

When she got into her house, Baskerville started running around the entire living room, going in circles and barking at nothing. Normally after they got home from a long walk, he would curl up on the couch and fall asleep. But he just hadn't been acting right for the past half hour. He was too excited. Seras furrowed her brows at the crazy dog as she closed the front door behind her. "What in the hell has gotten in to you?" She asked as she started to approach the wild hellhound. But she didn't get far. Someone from behind pulled her hoodie on over her eyes, and then he pulled the drawstrings to close it tightly around her head.

"What the fuck?!" Seras shouted just before the same person shoved her hard into another person's arms. She grabbed her hoodie and yanked it open so she could see, but she was bewildered to find that she was in Sebastian's arms. "Sebastian?!" The girl exclaimed. Hesitantly and quite awkwardly, she gave him a one armed hug around the waist before pulling away to find Alucard. Baskerville was bouncing around at his master's feet and barking. "Master?" Since his Draculina hadn't greeted him with a hug, he leaned in to grab her by her coat and pulled her towards him. Just when her body met with his, he wrapped his arm tightly around her lower back and kept her crushed to his chest. The girl's eyes widened, but she instinctively hugged him back. For a moment there, it was peaceful. Old memories came flooding back to her and she instantly became so very comfortable in his arms. She closed her eyes and breathed in his familiar scent. It was all great until he released her. Bashfully, she smiled and looked up at him. "It's…good to see you again, Sir." She muttered with a soft snicker.

"Really?" Alucard purred with a crooked grin. "You're not going to have Baskerville tear our throats out for bothering you?" He asked and arched a brow at her earlier comment. Immediately, Seras' face reddened and she raised her hands to wave them.

"I didn't know it was you guys!" She tried defending herself. "You were the ones hiding and playing. I just thought it was some tool trying to flirt with me." She then shoved him hard in the shoulder. "And why were you two hunting me anyway?! You couldn't have just come up to say hi like normal people?!"

"Now," Sebastian started as he placed his hands on her shoulders from behind and leaned down to whisper in her ear. "Where's the fun in that? Hmn?" He hummed. A pleasant shudder traveled down the little vampire's spine from that sexy voice. He then held out a hand in front of her and pulled a rose out of thin air. "And what was wrong with our flirting? You didn't like?" Seras slowly took the rose he held in front of her.

"Perhaps she wasn't too happy with us showering her in petals." Alucard chuckled. Her eyes flickered upwards to stare at him.

"That was a lot of petals." She noted. "You guys just had that stuffed away in your pockets?" She thought aloud with a laugh. She then arched a brow, wondering if they were still playing with her or actually serious about flirting with her. Seras twirled the rose between her fingers as she stared at him in consideration.

"And so what if we did? So what if we had pockets full of rose petals?" Sebastian asked. "It brought a wondrous look to your face, did it not?"

"It did," She admitted and she sniffed the rose he gave her.

"Then there's nothing wrong with what we did, now is there?" He snickered.

"I never said that there was. I just like to tease you guys." She practically purred with a devious little smirk. "What brings you both to London? As far as I know, neither of you have stepped foot into this city in over a century."

"We grew bored," Sebastian answered and his hands trailed down her body, but she pretended not to notice.

"So you just both thought 'hey, why don't we go to London to annoy and woo the silly blonde we used to tease during our Hellsing days'?" She laughed.

"Actually, we ran into each other a couple of weeks ago and got around to talking about old lovers." Alucard corrected her. "And yes, we noted that you weren't on either of our lists and that's when we decided to come to London to annoy and fuck the silly blonde back from our Hellsing days." Seras' smirk widened and she hummed in agreeance to that.

"Sounds like fun," She purred. "Too bad you boys are never going to catch me." With those words, the little vampire disappeared from Sebastian's arms. The demon stepped back in surprise, but laughed in amusement.

"It appears she wants to be hunted down and fucked." Alucard noted. "I like her style," He glanced down at his 'disloyal' dog, knowing that the hellhound will know exactly where to find the small blonde. "Baskerville," He purred with a toothy grin and he placed a hand on the dog's head. The black dog lifted his head to stare lovingly at his master. "Fetch,"
