Seras…

Y-yes? Silence. Hello?

Do you wish to be alone?

Wh- Alone? W-well, no…

Where are you?

I – what?

Where are you, Seras?

I don't know.

Do you want to see your master again?

Master? Why do you ask such odd questions?

Do you wish to see your master again, Seras?

What if I did? What could you do about it?

I could make it so that you could see him, in flesh and body, not only memories.

How? A low chuckle. How could you make it so?

I can Seras. All you have to do is open your eyes.

What if I don't want to?

Why not?

Because Master will be angry with me. I killed my unit, I took all their lives, I lost control, I wasn't drinking the blood…I'm a disappointment to him, a mistake.

What makes you think that? You could be wrong.

I know my master.

Do you?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Yes.

And why do you think you're a disappointment to him?

I see the way he looks at me. I know how disgusted he is with me.

Are you really sure it's disgust?

What else could it be? Silence… See.

Would you like to see him again?

Yes.

Then open your eyes.

But…

Seras.

Please don't make me. I don't want to be awake, I don't want to face what I did.

You're…… hiding?

Yes…

From what you did?

Y-yes. Silence. Is that wrong?

Wrong, and disappointing.

WHY? Why is it wrong to hide from what I did?

Because you are Noferatu The voice was roaring with anger in her mind now, scattering all sense of security it had made her feel. You are not human, not anymore! You have nothing to fear! Take your rightful place in the world! Don't hide from it!

Silence for a while.

You sound just like my master when you say that…

Do I? The response was low, a dark and seductive drawl. Is that all?

What?

Open your eyes, Police Girl.

Seras jerked awake, her mind slamming shut to everything and everyone around her.

She propped herself up on her hands, her elbows shaking and giving way underneath her. Her head smacked against the steel wall behind her, a hollow vibration of sound shattering the silence of the industrial graveyard, her new home, at least for now.

She pushed herself up into a sitting position, grumbling half-heartedly and rubbing the growing welt on the back of her head.

"What the hell?"

A/N: Okay, I know this is a weird chapter, but it's important for the rest of the story. n-n
Anyway, yeah. There's a catch to this chapter for y'all. Before I do the next chapter, I'd like 45 - 50 reviews, that way I know that people still want me to go on with this. (Damn me and my insecurities, huh?)
On with the replies!

Review Replies:
Fairchilde: Thankyou. I actually thought that Alucard might have been a bit OOC in the last chapter. But, eh? What are ya gonna do about it? I'm writing this fic! XD
Katsumi-chan: Heh, I love it when Integra curses. I don't know why, but I do. Seems somehow fitting. XD Can't wait for your next chappie!
Becky, Kagi no ni Yoru and Lady Dark Angel: Thanks muchness! Expect another update... when I get the appropriate amount of reviews! XD! (Don't you just hate me right about now?)
Mistical Kat: I like psycology a lot, but I'll definately give both options more thought! I'm only fifteen right now, so I still have... half a year to choose... XD
Midnight Lady: Sociopathic? Yeah, I guess that fits too. XD
Nighteyes De Dracul: I'm glad you like it so much! I don't really know if I'm getting better or not, apart from whatthe reviewers saythough, because all my friends don't know Hellsing! So I'm left to rely on what everyone else thinks! It's frustrating sometimes. Only one of my friends attempted to understand it enough to read my fic, but she failed miserably... Eh, oh well...

Many thanks to my beta/ sister. I haven't been running the last few chapters by her, so I hope she forgives me. Next chapter, I promise!

Snake Bites,
Jinn.
