"Morning Master," Ränee said, her face serious.
"Good evening P—" his face contorted in anger; she could tell even in the pitch-blackness. He calmed himself and tried again, his voice forcedly as smooth as always. "Good evening, Ränee."
"I'd like to know more about Seras Victoria, if that's okay with you… you said you'd tell me about her when we got up."
There was a long pause.
"…Fine. But you won't like this story."
"Please?"
He opened the lid and looked at her seriously in the gently lit gloom that settled with his expression.
"You were warned."
"Okay, I was warned."
He sighed.

They sat at the round stone table, watching one another calmly. They'd agreed to take some time to get dressed in their normal clothes and eat… or rather, dine, as Ränee had pointed out. Alucard's morbid expression remained and even now hadn't shifted.
He began talking suddenly.
"I turned Seras one night in Cheddar. She was a member of D-11 Police Squad who'd been sent in against what they thought was a serial killer. It was a low-level vampire, easy to kill; he was dressed as a priest. But I barely paid attention to him during the hunt; I was distracted.
"There she was, a petite curved girl in full uniform; she smelt like fear. So did the whole place, but what caught my attention was that she was angry. Not just angry, she was furious! It was terrific! There she was, surrounded by ghouls and dead bodies and she was, as she would have said, pissed. Fear just made her feel more vicious. It was strangely captivating… and she reminded me of somebody taken from me a long time ago. My mind slowed down. I admit it; she enraptured me completely; I lost track of things.
"Then the freak found her. He was going to rape her and drain her, making her into a ghoul, but I found him first. He wheezed on about how humans were only cattle, and then when his foppish speech failed he used her as a shield; he believed that doing so brought us to an impasse.
"Inspiration struck. He was wrong. I asked her if she was a virgin and once I'd gotten the answer, I shot.
"I winced when I saw her fall; there was a hole the size of a large grapefruit in her chest; it went right through and hit the freak's heart. I won that night.
"I went to her and asked her what would she do; she reached out and I asked her if she wanted to come with me. She nodded… and so I turned her. I knew she didn't have to be involved in any of this, but… I got her involved.
"Integral was furious. Fairly enough, I suppose, but… I found it hilarious. At least, at first."
He sighed sharply, lines of weariness etched into his face.
"But Seras wasn't too happy about her new rank as 'deceased'. She wouldn't drink; she hated sleeping in her coffin. She was… unresponsive. I got angry and tried to force her, and things got worse."
"How?" Ränee asked carefully after a while.
"Well, first there were the Wild Geese. Between my admittedly harsh methods and their constant taunting about her species, she got rather morbid. Integral's aid made her confused, Pip trying to coax her into acceptance was pointless due to the fact that she never trusted him at first and he acted rather pervertedly towards her, and she was outright scared of me because of my outbursts."
His jaw clenched tightly.
"Then along came Millenium.
Nighteyes: Don't ya all hate me? A cliffy! So little activity, then a cliffy!
R&R and I might even update for you! Joking! I'll update.
Alucard: T.T
Nighteyes: Shut up you! Just cause you hate me doesn't mean you have to cry!
Alucard: No… it's not that… garlic makes my eyes water.
Nighteyes: Next time don't steal my pizza then!
