Chapter II
'He is a filthy monster.'-BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG.-
Seras was at the shooting range and was not in a very nice mood. Her encounter with her master was still in her head. Had there been a window in the basement, her self-esteem would have fluttered out of it. Right now it had just diminished.
After getting over her disdain, her blood boiled at the lack of sensitivity in Alucard. She had wanted to shoot her master, but that idea left her head as soon as it had entered. So, that was why she was at the shooting range.
'What is he doing here?' Seras asked herself. At the same time, she was staring daggers at his red clad back. Alucard felt her eyes on him, and turned on his heel to face her, sending her a much more sinister gaze. They had unofficially begun a skirmish, and naturally, Alucard was doing a much better job at staring her down. He had a greater height advantage and a much greater capacity of cruelty. When Seras saw the malice in his eyes, she turned back to her shooting. Too soon, she ran out of bullets.
"Typical you Police Girl. Can't hold your ground, and you forgot to bring extra bullets. An empty gun won't do you much good on mission. Speaking of missions, I came here to tell you that you are going alone on one tonight…at Cheddar Village."
At the mention of Cheddar Village, memories flooded her mind. More specifically, the night Alucard had changed her. Had damned her. Yet, it was her choice. She had condemned herself to this fate over dying as a human. She frowned at this. Now, she would give anything to be human again.
"Something bothering you Police Girl?" Alucard's cold voice had brought her back to the present. She had forgotten he was still standing there.
"No, Master. Nothing."
With that, Alucard teleported back to his room.
Meanwhile, Seras made her way to Integra's office. Outside of the double doors, she paused to straighten her uniform and proceeded to walk inside. Integra was already waiting for her with a file in her hand.
The Ice Queen handed it to her and said, "There's a picture of the target. We found out that he is planning an attack on the villagers tomorrow night. Search and destroy."
Seras saluted. "Yes, Sir."
She was back in her room getting ready when a thought struck her. It was something Alucard had said about the mission. Did he say she was going... ALONE!
A series of curses escaped Seras's lips as she made her way to Alucard's door and kicked it open. Still standing outside she screamed, "Why are you deliberately trying to get me killed in these missions!"
Alucard was vexed as he looked at his door which now on the floor and at his fledgling. While Seras was breathing fire, Alucard took his time answering, "It's about time that you have a learning experience," and he tucked his chin back into his coat, bringing his hat over his face. Telepathically, he said to Seras, "That's your cue to boot it. And next time, don't shout at your master. You're trying my patience"
"Sorry, Master." Seras stiffly turned around and jogged to her room to get her things. She was still streaming curses from her mouth as she left the manor.
