A/N: Okay everyone, I'll be off the internet for a couple of days so no updates till then. Anyway, I'm not too fond of this chapter so you can write that it sucks. And as always, thanks to all my readers and reviewers!!!!!!

Memories echo, wandering in the mind,

Unchanged in a changing world.

This small girl named Seras Victoria had great potential, Alucard could sense it. That power was from one of strong will and determination. Someone who was willing to do anything to survive, someone suitable for an immortal life.

While pondering this new revelation, and the potential of this little girl, Alucard heard a woman's voice float from the woods. Whoever she was, she was calling Seras' name. Before he could stop her, Seras quickly rose and sprinted toward the voice. Turning for one last wave, she disappeared with her bouquet into the trees surrounding the meadow.

Leaving Alucard to muse over the conversation with the little girl, and the power that had emanated from her.

End Flashback>

This was just too perfect. The little girl had returned to him and this time, he wouldn't let her go.

"You've been in Romania before, haven't you Police Girl" stating it rather than asking.

This statement took Seras by surprise. How had he known that? Then her eyes drew into slits as she realized he had probably read her mind.

"Would you stay out of my head?! It's none of your business if I was in Romania before or not!"

"I did not read your mind. We have met before."

"Huh?" We've met before? Seras thought. What was he talking about? I think I would have remembered meeting such a creepy guy. Seras started to wonder if the monster before her was playing with her mind again. Of course, she couldn't remember much of her life after arriving back in England.

Alucard stared at her expressions, which showed him she really did not remember. Well, he would have to remind her, wouldn't he?

Suddenly Seras noticed that he was slowly approaching her. He had a look on his face that she had never seen before. And she didn't like it.

Standing up, Seras started inching away from Alucard. "Stay back, monster! What are you going to do?!"

"Make you remember."

Alucard lunged forward and gripped her shoulders. He looked into her crystal blue eyes, gaining control of her mind, searching for the memories. There! Buried deep in her mind. He wondered why they were so far down. But curiosity could wait.

He let go of Seras' mind and watched her reactions as the memories surfaced to her mind. Her eyes widened as she watched their first meeting. Every detail, every word came flooding into her, as if the memory had taken place just yesterday.

Suddenly, another memory surfaced, one that brought tears to her eyes. A memory she had desperately tried to forget.

"I guess... " she started to say, then paused, trying to control the sobs rising in her throat. "I...guess I didn't want to remember those happy times. They only reminded me of what I'd lost. Those innocent memories, they ended soon afterward. Like everything does" Seras said bitterly.

Alucard watched the girl in front of him with something akin to pity. He was able to feel Seras' emotions, and they were almost more than he could handle. Sadness being the most prevalent among the mix of shock, anger, and disappointment. He hadn't expected his memory retrieval to bring forth such painful memories. But these were demons the girl had to face, for herself and what he had planned.

Attempting to compose herself and failing, Seras still continued to speak. She was hoping that maybe, just maybe, the pain would go away if she told someone. Anyone. Even this monster. "We didn't have a chance to have any more family trips after Romania, because my mom...died soon after we returned to England. The train we were traveling on was going too fast, it derailed, and...and...and she died and there was nothing I could do to save her!" her screams echoing eerily throughout the large bedroom.

Here she broke down, unable to control the wave of sadness that engulfed her.
