Part 5-It's on now…
Seras loaded her halconnen, "Shall we do this?"
***
Jonathan destroyed the last few ghouls on his floor, he ran down the stairs to the second floor and was stopped by Elena, "Where's the captain?"
He pointed upstairs, "She's fighting the vampire… need any help down here?"
"Most of the ghouls here are done," She shouted whilst shooting several ghouls, "once we're done here, we're gonna deal with the first floor…"
Jonathan helped them, taking out row after row of ghouls, of course they were still coming from the other side, but Elena, Josh and Callum were dealing with those. Once he had finished of the ghouls on his side, he ran over to where Elena's group were, he crouched down between Callum and Josh, "How many left?"
"Two hundred, give or take…" Callum made a shot that took out a column of ghouls
"This is taking too long…" Jonathan pulled out a grenade and threw it to the back of the group of ghouls
"Idiot, that's gonna blow out the supports for this building!" Josh shouted at him
"It's not a normal grenade…" Jonathan smirked, "three… two… one… EVERYONE, GET DOWN!!!" Jonathan threw himself on the floor, facing away from the ghouls and covering his face, followed by the other three. Shortly after, there was an explosion and small blades flew out in every direction, destroying every ghoul in their path
"Nail bomb?" Elena questioned
"Similar… my own design," Jonathan stood up and looked at the dust left behind by the ghouls
"Well done younger Dolneas…" Elena clapped, "we should get to the bottom floor and help out…" Elena ran ahead, followed by Josh, Callum and finally, Jonathan

Seras and Keisha stood opposite each other, staring, after what seemed like an eternity, the silence was interrupted by an explosion from below. Keisha looked down and Seras was off, she ran towards Keisha, kicking and punching. After a broken nose and a busted lip, Keisha began to laugh. "Hellsing scum, you really think that you can defeat us…?"
"Us?" Seras questioned
"You'll see…" She laughed a bit more as she blew a fist threw the floor and pulled out a machete, she swung it a Seras repeatedly, slashing her a few times, but missing the majority
"Shit, that actually hurts… silver?" Seras questioned
"Only the best…" She laughed manically as the blade left a cut across Seras' right cheek, "thankfully for you it's not blessed, or it would be leaving an unsightly scar on your pretty little face, like that one on your neck…"
"What do you know about that…?" Seras questioned, narrowing her gaze
"I know you got it after you became a vampire, you never would have survived it as a human…" A smile streaked the side of her face as Seras breathed a sigh of relief, "I also know it was a present from Paladin Alexander Anderson… and that you couldn't bring yourself to take your master's blood… whilst you know nothing about me, I know everything about you…"
"I know one thing about you Keisha…" Seras readied her halconnen and pointed the tip at Keisha's face, "I'm sorry to have to kill you, but you're not the same girl I was friends with in secondary school…" She pulled the trigger back slowly, "Sorry Keisha…" click. An explosive round blew a hole in the floor where Keisha once sat, Seras pulled the halconnen away and looked down, "no blood, no dust… no nothing…" Seras immediately ran over to the missing wall, she looked down and saw Keisha running, "bitch!!!" she shouted as Keisha turned her head and smiled
"Sorry to cut my visit short Seras, until next time!" She vanished around a corner
There will be a next time… Seras thought to herself s she turned around and made her way back to the transport
On the way back Seras didn't say a single word, Jonathan attempted to make conversation, especially after Elena pointed out that Seras was never this quiet, however every attempt was dismissed by an awkward silence. Once they got back to the mansion, Seras reported back to Integral as usual, and also commented on Jonathan's performance. She went to her room and lay down on her bed, staring at the 'lid' of her coffin-bed.
There was a knock at the door, after no answer the door swung open; Alucard bent his rather large frame, in order to get through the door without risking brain damage. He had discarded his coat, tie and hat in his own room, as he had no need for them inside the mansion. Anyone would agree that he looked rather scruffy, even for him. He walked in to the room and sat on a chair facing her bed. He stared at her for a minute, she had clearly noticed his presence, but she hadn't shifted an inch, not a flicker of an eyelid or brow, not a shift of an eyeball. After getting fed up of staring at the rather depressing sight of his depressed protégée, he stood up and removed two wine glasses from her overhead cabinet (or below in Alucard's case) and two bags of medical blood from a chiller beside her bed, he poured the two bags of blood into either glass. He held out a glass to her, "Seras, take the blood," Alucard sighed dishearteningly as she sat up, turned to face him and took the glass in one hand, the expression on her face didn't change the slightest, "Seras, drink the blood, those wounds will never heal if you don't…" He nodded a bit, like a worried father, as she sipped the blood, "What's wrong Seras?"
"Nothing." She replied sternly
"That's the most you've said since you came back from that mission, normally you can't wait to explain everything, like a little girl…"
"Well 'dad', maybe I grew up a little…" Seras retorted angrily
Alucard rolled his eyes out of frustration, "Seras, I sired you, I know when something's wrong with you…"
"Don't give me that crap Alucard!" Seras stood up and paced around the room, she sat back down in front of Alucard, it was her turn to sigh this time, "I'm sorry, it's just this mission was a bit different… is it… is it possible to turn a FREAK into a proper vampire?"
"I've never given it any thought… I don't understand why you'd want to turn one; if they chose that path then they don't deserve to be a true vampire," Alucard stated, matter-of-factly
"What if they were forced to be one…?"
"Seras, what is this really about? What happened out there?"
"It turns out that the FREAK situation goes back further than we thought… I met an old friend, she disappeared before our practice exams in year ten… she looked exactly the same as back then, so I can only assume that she became a FREAK around then…" Seras put the glass on the table and rested her head in her hands
"There's more to it, isn't there Seras?" Alucard raised an eyebrow
"She was my best friend… but when I saw her today… it was like someone completely different was staring back at me…" A tear ran down her cheek
"… Seras…" Alucard felt completely uncomfortable, he had never had to deal with anything like this with Integral, or her daughter. And of course, as if things couldn't get any more uncomfortable for him, Seras had come over to him, rested her head on his shoulder, and soaked his shirt
