Seras stalked her way into the office. Focusing her senses like Alucard had taught her, the dark room came into sharp focus, and slowly, what she could 'see' extended past the room she was in, encompassed the entire first floor, and slowly wormed it's way outwards. She twitched as her mind brushed corpses, cooling blood surrounding them. She could smell the rot spreading from the bite wounds that would soon turn them into ghouls, marking their positions and moving onwards. Finally, at the edge of what was all five of her normal senses rolled into one, plus something else, she could feel the freak moving through the fourth floor, and one other.

"Someone's still alive…"

Stepping forward, the world twisted.

"WhhOOOaaaa…trippy."

Reaching out to support herself, she pulled her senses back into something she was a little more used to. Stopping to yank a pipe out of the wall, she tested it's weight in her hands before heading forward.


A tiny moan escaped from the corpse as the pipe punched through it's forehead. Fourth and final.

"Five…if I don't hurry…"

Moving as quietly as she could, she slipped through the door and scanned the room. The freak was approaching a door, a soft whimpering coming from inside. The freak stopped at the door and began walking in circles, sing-songing to himself.

"Where oh where could she be…"

The sobbing grew louder, and the freak turned and casually knocked on the door. The woman inside screamed. The freak laughed, kicking the door down. So focused on his prey, he never saw Seras sneaking up on him. The first swing took him on the side of his head, flipping him over and cracking his skull. Seras quickly leaped on top of him, holding the pipe like a spear, piecing his heart and nailing him to the floor. He lay, face down, screaming and flailing under her weight. After he stopped moving, the stolen blood pouring out to flood across the floor, Seras stood and stumbled to the door, pulling the screaming girl to her feet and trying to sooth her, pushing her past the disintegrating corpse and towards the stairway.

"Hey, what's taking so…damn…shit."

A second freak stomped into the room, blood running down from his mouth and all over his clothes, sharing down at the corpse in shock before focusing on the two girls on the other side of the room.

"Run!"

Seras shoving the girl into the stairwell before slamming the door closed, she turned and ducked just in time as a monitor crashed into the wall where her head used to be. The freak screamed and rushed at her blindly, and Seras met him head-on. Expecting a human, the freak yelled in surprise as Seras crashed into him, lifting him off the ground and carrying him forward, both smashing through a wall and into the office beyond. The two quickly stood, dropping any pretense of strategy and the fight carried them through another wall and back into the hallway.

"Bitch!"

"Freak!"

The freak in question managed to throw her away from him, sending Seras to crash through several cubicles and sliding over a desk, falling out of sight. The freak tossed the table aside, grabbing Seras and yanking her to her feet.

"Got you now, you little-"

He was cut off as a hand shot out and buried itself in his chest. The fingers tightened around a rib, and with a wet tearing sound followed by a loud crack, she tore it out of his body and brought the jagged edge of the bone across his throat like a knife, sending a spray of crimson across the room. He staggered back, clutching his throat is a futile attempt to stem the flow of lifeblood. Seras followed, flipping the bone over in her hand, thrusting the point through his chest with enough force to lift him into the air. He thrashed like a worm on a hook for a few moments before sagging limp and slowly dissolving. Behind her, soft-soled feet came rushing up the stairs and into the room.

"Seras, are you alright?"

The timid nun gagged at the scene of carnage, holding a hand over her mouth as she approached her friend.

"Seras? Is that all of them? …Seras?"

Yumiko reached to lay a hand on the girl's shoulder, and before she could even blink, she found herself pressed down over a desk with Seras on top of her. Her eyes were blood-red and she wore a twisted smile, holding Yumiko down with her weight while her hands roamed over the girl's body.

"Seras! What are you-"

A hand wrapped around her throat, and a thumb went under her chin and forced her head back, exposing her neck. Yumiko felt Yumie stir within her, and clamped down even as she felt Seras' lips brush her neck, kissing gently before a long tongue was dragged over her skin.

"Seras…"

Her only response was a low, animalistic growl. She leaned down, and Yumiko felt hot breath on her neck.

"SERAS!"

Seras froze, and Yumiko felt the grip loosen. Seras slowly backed away from her, and Yumiko sat up to see her staring at her, eyes wide with shock and shame. Booted feet sounded in the stairway, and a squad of Hellsing agents, Heinkel on point, burst into the room.

"Sir!"

"Yumiko! Vat happened?"

Seras turned to look blankly at the men. She turned back and faced Yumiko, seeing the hurt and fear on her face. After only a moments pause, seeing the way her friend was looking at her, the friend she had just nearly killed for her blood, Seras turned and ran from the room as fast as she could.
