Chapter VII
Third Person POV
"Units Two, Three, and Four stay on standby. One and Five come with me," Seras projected her voice directly into the minds of the WG-II members and allowed her smirk to widen as she delivered her next line, "Gentlemen, welcome to your first mission with the Hellsing Organization. Don't piss your pants, and we'll be alright."
She knocked down the first bolted door in her way and inched inside.
"Clear."
Units One and Five followed closely as Seras continued to lead the soldiers into the ghoul infested building.
"Stand down. Three enemies to the left, five on top, and eight down the corridor. Do not move before I give the signal."
Each soldier gave a brief nod before directing their attentions on what their commander was about to do.
Seras flashed before the enemies in range and then motioned for the units to take out those who were further away as she took on the ones on the same floor as her. Her eyes flashed a fiery red that matched the blood dripping from her hands after she tore through her enemies, indulging in the first ghoul hunt since her dismissal from Hellsing.
The soldiers watched on with a mixture of awe and horror.
"Remind me to never get on her bad side…" one of the soldiers whispered.
"What about my bad side?" Seras asked innocently.
She had taken out eleven of the sixteen ghouls she had warned them about, leaving the other five for the soldiers to ease into the nature of their missions from this point onwards.
"Nothing, Sir," the soldier kept a calm facade but felt a drop of sweat slid along his neck.
She bent down next to him.
"What's your name?"
"Nick Bernadotte, Sir."
His name caught Seras' attention.
"Bernadotte?"
"Yes, I'm a relative of one of the previous members of the Wild Geese. His name is-"
"Pip?"
He raised an eyebrow.
"Yes. Pip. How'd you know?"
"He was my commander and still is my teammate." She said as she remembered when Pip had offered her his blood and she became a true Nosferatu.
"But he died. How is he still your teammate?"
Seras pondered about how she would be able to explain her current relationship with him until she decided to settle for the one her Master had offered her 21 years ago.
"Blood is like the currency of life. When Pip died, I drank his blood and he became a part of my soul. He acts like a familiar within my body. Anyway, enough about that. We need to complete our mission before Sir Integra decides to tear off one of my limbs."
Nick continued to look at Seras as she walked towards the next room.
"Sir… how were you guys before he died?"
Her eyes warmed as she replied.
"He was a friend."
