Chapter 4: Frustrations

Seras awoke with a start, her nightmare quickly evaporating into relief as she realized that she had only been dreaming. She was sweaty, and her hands had been trembling, but now stopped. It had been something from her past, but she could not remember it now. Sighing, she pressed the button and the coffin lid slid up to reveal a lounging Alucard.

Seras moaned, knowing that he was here to annoy her out of her mind like usual. He never did cease to take the opportunity to annoy people, or her for that matter. His sick sense of humor was what worried her most though.

Sliding her legs over the side, she stepped onto the cold rock floor, and walked past him to go to her dresser to get a new change of clothes, casting him a defiant glare on the way.

He only grinned in reply.

Shit, she thought, knowing he was up to something. Something very bad. She grabbed a shirt and pair of blue pants, and then went into her bathroom to change, ignoring his following eyes.

When she came out, he was still sitting there, same position and all. She was agitated now, after realizing her pent up rage, all she wanted to do was strangle him and rip his smirking lips from his face as painfully as possible.

The only thing that stopped her was the consequences for her actions, which would not be good at all. Grinding her teeth, she grabbed her boots, and quickly shoving them on, she exited her room, accidentally slamming the door, which was exactly what he had wanted her to do.

Seras made her way furiously up the stairs, and outside onto the grounds, her red eyes surging with anger and agitation, causing several soldiers to turn and walk in the opposite direction.

"Now, now, Police Girl, what's got you all fired up?" he asked mockingly as he lounged against a tree nearby, enjoying the look in her eyes, and the calm look on her face.

"Nothing." She muttered making sure her voice was steady and calm as she continued walking past him and to one of the back buildings and a private shooting range.

She ignored him once again as she entered the building. He had appeared once again, lounging with a psychotic grin plastered upon his face, against the gun cabinet.

She stalked towards him, and nearly threw the metal door from the cabinet as she grabbed a hand gun, and a box of bullets, and then slammed it shut, nearly laughing at the look on his face when it almost hit him. She went to stand infront one of the targets, which was about ten yards away, then all of her anger vanished as she shot round after round, after round. When she turned around, finishing off all of her bullets he was gone.

"Finally." She whispered in relief, turning back to look at the now hole filled paper figure. She replaced the gun, and got a towel from a stand in the back. She sat down in exhaustion on a bench, and rested the back of her head to the cool cement behind her.

"Miss Victoria?" came a questioning call from the door.

Seras lurched forward, startled. "Walter, what is it?" she asked, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Oh, I just came to check on you. I heard someone shooting back here, and since Alucard is in one of his moods today, came to see if everything was alright." He replied, walking over to her.

"Master was here." She said, stretching. "But then he left. He didn't say anything; I have the feeling he's going to do something." She muttered handing the towel to Walter's outstretched hand. Walter smiled grimly, knowing very well the 'jokes' Alucard loved to play.

"We'll just have to keep an eye out now won't we Miss Victoria?" he asked, placing the towel over his arm, and walking with her to the door and out into the night air. Her anger had dissipated, and she was calmer now. Her gaze wandered upwards when a cool breeze ruffled her slightly already ruffled hair.

"Yes, we will." That was the last thing she said as her and Walter were attacked on all sides. Seras jumped to the side, dodging a lunge from a ghoul, and muttering curses under her breath, as she watched Walter do the same, and try to get his gloves on, dropping the towel in the process. The only problem was that they weren't after Walter. They were after her.

"Why are they attacking us here Miss Victoria?" asked Walter as they came back to back. He finally had his gloves on, and decapitated all of the ghouls in a quick jerk from his pinky.

Seras was distracted however, to answer his question, when she caught a glimpse of the vampire from several nights ago, smirking at her from behind a nearby tree. Before Walter could grab her, she dashed after the vampire, as he ran into the bushes near the tree, and disappeared. Seras let her instincts take control as she nearly jumped the bushes at a run.

Walter didn't even see her run off, because he had called a nearby soldier, and told him to report this to one of the commanders. When he turned, Seras was gone, and he was clueless to where she had run off to.

Seras ran through the bushes and past trees, scraping up her arms in the process. "Where did that bastard go?" she asked herself aloud as she ducked under a branch, and came out into a quiet clearing. An all too quiet clearing.

She quickly ducked, as a vampire went flying over her head, to land on a fallen tree. She spun quickly, counting the opponents around her. Three were ghouls, and two were vampires, another vampire, the one from several nights ago stood back a ways, watching, a grin upon his face.

"Damn it." She muttered, pulling the small hand gun she kept with her from its waist holster. She aimed carefully, and shot the ghouls heads off in four shots. She sensed one of the vampires move, and she quickly turned, receiving a punch to the face, that sent her stumbling backwards, and her nose and cheek hurting painfully.

"Well it seems we finally have little Miss Seras now doesn't it." The first vampire said mockingly, as his bloody gaze locked with her own equally red one.

"That's what you think." She said straightening, and dodging another blow, this one intended for her stomach. She quickly kicked the vampire in the stomach with her foot, then as soon as that foot landed back on the ground, she kicked her other leg out while turning, and hit the second attacker square in the jaw.

The two stumbled back into standing positions, and she laughed when they ran at her, and all she did was jump over their lunging forms and land behind them. With a grin on her face, she walked up behind the two vampires, tapping them on the shoulders. When they turned and looked at her, she grabbed the back of their heads and slammed them together, laughing as they fell unconscious to the ground.

"Not bad for a pair of pea brains." She said laughing as she faced the other man, a look of hatred etched across her face. "What the hell do you want?" she demanded, her voice lined with venom.

"To make the child suffer." He said almost in an amused whisper. Suddenly though he was gone, but the presence of her master filled her senses, and she spun around on her heel, falling to the ground as she ran into her master.

"Master..." she stuttered mindlessly, trying to think of some believable excuse for her actions.

"What was going on here Police Girl? I thought I sensed another's presence. You weren't up to anything were you?" he asked, his eyes narrowed on her face, looking for a lie.

"I wanted to chase off the rest of the ghouls that attacked Walter and me." She stated a bit more loudly than necessary, and although she couldn't hear what he said, she knew he had muttered something along the lines of liar.

He disappeared before her eyes, going to talk with Sir Integra. Seras, sighing in relief, hadn't once again, specifically lied. It was only a small one, and it was half true.

She groaned, pushing herself to her feet, and wiping the dirt form the back of her pants in an annoyed fashion. Making her way back the way she had come, obtaining even more scratches that quickly healed, she finally came out onto the back lawn of the Hellsing manor, only to be greeted by soldiers, warily pointing their guns at her.

Only after she shot them a glare did they lower their weapons, recognizing one of the captains. She walked up to Walter who had had his back turned to her, and a look of relief lined his features at seeing her.

"Good to know your safe Miss Victoria." He said, and then added, "Will you excuse me? There are some matters in which I need to attend to. Do take care." And with that, he turned his back to her once more.

Mumbling, she made her way up to the manor, and trudged through the front door and down the stairs to the basement. The door slammed loudly behind her, and echoed through the rock of the basement as she stepped wearily towards her door.

Finally reaching it, she pushed it open, and locked it with a heavy clang behind her. She changed quickly into her pajamas, which consisted of a tank top and a pair of yoga pants, then hopped into her coffin. She yawned tiredly as she pressed the button, and the top of the coffin descended on her slowly, blocking out the light of her lamp slowly until she was immersed in dark.

Within moments of her head touching the pillow she went into a peaceful sleep, one in which she had no experienced since before that dreadful mission that seemed to be the center of her thoughts as of recently.

"Oh damn it all." She muttered half awake and half asleep, until she finally let unconsciousness take over her.
