A/N: Well, here's the second chapter. I actually have this story done but I'm cruel, so you'll have to wait. Oh, and thanks for reviewing!

Fear is something to be controlled,

Not to be controlled by.

Taking out her gun, Seras slowly walked to the middle of the room. She was terrified. Someone was watching her, she was sure, but there was no sign of anyone. Her breathing came in quicker and quicker intakes. A chill suddenly slid into her bones and Seras noticed she could see her breath.

"Hello there, girl."

Seras whipped around, pointing her gun at where the voice had come from. Only to meet empty air.

"My, my, aren't we the edgy one."

She stiffened. The voice had come from directly behind her. She could feel movement behind as the person leaned down close to her neck.

Seras swivelled with more agility than she believed she had. Apparently the monster was as surprised as she, because he just stood there a few feet away without emotion for a few moments, before a grin slowly spread across his face. But how had he gotten so far away from her in such a short amount of time? She decided the person in front of her was definitely not normal. Even his clothes were strange.

Seras noticed he was dressed in a large red overcoat, which covered most of the dark suit he wore underneath. She could just see a white shirt with a high neck, around which a strange tie hung. He wore a pair of elegant dancing shoes, while smooth white gloves covered his hands. His shoulder length hair was the color of the night and he wore a grin that she didn't like at all. It showed her two large fangs protruding over his lips.

He'd be kinda cute if he didn't have those huge fangs Seras thought. Wait, fangs!

The girl raised the gun, pointing the weapon at Alucard's chest. To his surprise the gun was held steadily, without the slightest hint of a tremor. This one could be fun to play with, before he satiated his thirst.

"Ah, what might you be, little one?" he said, staring at the gun pointed at him. "An enforcer of the law, hmm? A police girl perhaps?"

"Stay back, whatever you are. I don't want to shoot you, but I will if I have to." Seras was proud to hear that her voice was steady and strong.

"You'll shoot me, Police Girl? Well, that isn't very nice, now is it? After all, you are in my home and one doesn't shoot their hosts."

That statement confused Seras. His home? But this castle has been abandoned for years! What kind of man would want to live in a place like this anyway? She tensed as the being in front of her started to chuckle.

"Stop laughing, and don't call me Police Girl!"

Alucard stopped laughing as he looked at her, though the grin remained on his face. "What then is your name, Police Girl?"

"None of your business!" Seras knew she had to by some time and find a way out of this room. This seemed like a good chance. Though she didn't want to tell him her name anyway.

The refusal didn't seem to phase the mad man. He merely chuckled again and started walking toward her.

The sound of a gun report echoed through the room. Seras watched in horror as he stood unfazed by her shot, which had hit him square in the shoulder. An untold fear hit her as she watched him pull the blood and flesh back into his shoulder.

"My god, what are you!" she nearly screamed.

"A vampire, Police Girl. You have heard of them, haven't you?" He didn't need her words nor thoughts to see that she had. Her eyes nearly doubled in size as the fear and knowledge hit her all at once.

Then she blacked out.
