Reprieve-Order 4-Reasons Why

"Why? Ill tell you why, vampire. You treated me worse than the ghouls that we killed. You never cared for me, didn't try to ease my change. No, so wanted someone totally willing to the idea of being a vampire. I never wanted it, it was forced on me." Seras practically screamed.

"You had a choice, police... Seras."

"Ha, some choice, either die or become a vampire. Why did you come back here Alucard? Did you think I would instantly agree to come back to you? That I would let you bite down on my neck now that my choice wasn't death? Maybe you really intended to take me against my will and drag me back into the darkness?"

Alucard stood silently looking at her, her words cut into him harder than the priest's toys. He refused to show it however, he couldn't show anything.

"You want to know the funny thing, Alucard, if only you showed some concern to me, maybe even helped me understand what it meant to be a vampire instead of saying "Drink the blood, police girl." than my eyes would still be red, heck if you even told me the truth minutes before the year was up I would have stayed with you. But know, you had to keep it to yourself, had to treat me like shit."

For a few minutes Alucard couldn't think of anything to say, he knew that if he didn't harden her that she would have been dust by now. "Seras..."

"Don't! Just get out of here, vampire. Never come back here ever again or ill put a bullet in your head." Seras said, pulling out a Hellsing issue gun, silver bullets resting in the chamber.

Had they just met, Alucard would surely have put this mortal in her place. Taking his sun glasses off, he looked at her. Any other vampire master would simply kill their fledgling if they acted like this. The hate in her eyes hurt him deeply; he was such an idiot for doing what he had done. Sighing he nodded and slowly faded away, a blood tear dropped from his face as he faded away.

Why, why was she feeling the way she did as she watched the man she used to call master fade away. A part of her, a large part, wanted to run to him and let him once again embrace her and take her into the night. Another part couldn't believe that he actually came after her, another indifferent, knowing that he would try.

Putting her gun away she looked out the window. 'Well, so much for watching this sunrise...' in the back of her mind she hoped that Alucard made it back safely. Changing into her night gown she slipped into her bed, and felt comfortable. Slowly she drifted off to sleep, the last time she would sleep as the sun was rising.

It was noon when she awoke to the sound of the birds by her window. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes she sat down and poured a bowl of cereal. The very fact that it wasn't red was a little shocking to her. As she ate, Seras thought about what she would do in the next few days. It was a given that she would have to go to back to Hellsing to request a transfer back to D-11, it was only fair to Sir Integra that she tell her in person.

The thought of possibly seeing Alucard again ran threw her mind with mixed feelings. Would he ask her again, would she give in? Would he seek her out once he sensed she was back on the grounds? No! She couldn't let these feelings dominate her. He had no intention to give her the choice, why would she want to talk to him again?

Changing into civilian clothing she bagged her old Hellsing uniform and headed out the door. She decided to walk the way to the mansion in the sunlight, something she hadn't done for nearly a year. The feeling of the light on her slightly pale skin was so soothing, the cool breeze of summer carried the scent of freshly cut grass, foods, everything that screamed human and she loved it.

As Seras neared the gate she nearly gave the guard a heart attack when he saw her walking in the broad daylight without any proper protection. Smiling she said she needed to see Sir Integra. Nodding slightly the guard let her threw, needless to say he was taking a few double shots of her to make sure he wasn't going crazy.

"What can I do for you Seras?" Sir Integra said, not bothering to look up from her desk.

"I would like a transfer back into D-11." Seras said without a shaky voice, something she had trouble while still a vampire.

"You know that is very well impossible Miss Victoria. Being a vampire keeps you from being in the sun light."

Sighing Seras pulled off her sun glasses "Sir Integra, please look at me."

Integra turned a bit red, how dare this vampire give her an... those had to be colored contacts in her eyes. But what happened to her fangs?

"I took the serum Sir Integra; I can no longer serve under your command. Therefore I am requesting a transfer back to D-11." Seras handed her the bag containing her uniform. "Please Sir Integra."

Seras quickly went threw her old room in the mansion. She gathered up everything that belonged to her, a few photos, cloths and so forth. She didn't want to be around when the sun set and Alucard awake to find her so close to him. Taking one last look around her old room she closed the door and looked to her left. Alucard's room was only a few doors away, the symbol seemed so dark to her human eyes.

Turning to her right she headed up the stairs and was greeted by a full squad of soldiers, her old squad. Sir Integra and Walter stood by the door. "Aten hut!" Walter shouted.

The soldiers quickly came to attention as Seras walked past them towards Walter and Sir Integra. "Senior officer Seras Victoria, for your commendable work in Hellsing I hereby grant you your request for transfer back to D-11. Know this however, you are and forever will be a member of the house of Hellsing." Sir Integra said to her as she handed her a badge of Hellsing.

"May you bring justice to where ever you go. Take these, so that you will always remember your home in Hellsing." With that Walter walked up holding a polished wooden box. Sir Integra opened it and pulled out a pair of standard Hellsing issue hand guns and handed them to Seras.

"Thank you Sir Integra, for everything you have done for me." Seras said, saluting her former commanding officer. Integra returned the salute and watched as the former vampire leave the mansion.

The moment Alucard awoke he could smell her scent. Practically throwing the lid off his coffin he ran to her room, thinking it was all just a bad dream. Walter had never told her about the serum or the year limit. Or that she had said all those hateful things to him. Phasing threw the door he half expected her to jump in surprise, beg him to never do that again and just look lovely when she was angry.

Her scent was the strongest in her room obviously, but it was empty. No little touches that showed that this was her room, no bucket thrown to the floor showing her refusal to drink the blood, most importantly no Seras. 'Maybe my master sent her on some long term mission and she wanted to bring some comforts with her.'

Phasing threw the wall Alucard appeared in the floor of Sir Integra's office. She was sitting in her chair, a cigar in her mouth as she gazed up at the huge portrait of her father. Alucard slowly approached the desk, the scent of the cigar making him slightly dizzy. "Alucard I have a mission for you, increased vampire activity has been sighted. I want you to go and clean up the trash."

"Why not send the police girl?" Alucard smirked, hoping that she would say she was on another mission.

"Officer Victoria requested transfer back to D-11 after taking the serum; she is no longer with Hellsing Alucard." It was just like the first blow. It wasn't a dream, she really had been here, had cleaned out her room in the mansion, and had said all those things to him, all those painful things.

"Very well, my master." With that Alucard disappeared looking for Walter for the specs of the mission.
