3rd chapter of the day. Huh? What do you mean this is only the second? I posted another chapter for my other Hellsing story. Yes, unfair loophole, but it still counts. Haha.
Hm... lets see what I can cook up for this chapter...
"Police Girl, I have grown tired of watching you flounder at attempting to "master" your vampirism. Thus, I have decided to give you lessons in being a vampire," Alucard smirked at his fledgling, who stared at him incredulously from inside her coffin.
"You woke me up early... for this?" Seras blinked a few times. "Good night! Er.. morning! Uh... whatever!" Seras grabbed the lid and slammed it back shut.
Alucard stared at the coffen silently. He then lifted his right leg up, placed his foot firmly upon the corner of the lid, and with little effort flipped the coffin over. As it spun, the lid flew open and Seras was hurled to the floor. "This is no time for games, Police Girl!" Alucard roared. "If you ever want to become a true nosforatu, then you will listen to me!" Seething rage burned in his eyes, but Seras still did not feel intent upon learning the finer points of being a monster. "The sooner you learn these things, the sooner I can stop being forced to babysit you!" Seras still did not have any obvious signs of caring. Alucard's eyes narrowed. "The moment you become a True Nosforatu, I will use your real name."
"Lets go!" Seras jumped to her feet.
I knew that would get her attention... Alucard thought to himself.

"First things first," Alucard and Seras were now standing in an empty room on the top floor of the Hellsing manor. "Walk through this wall next to me."
"Say what?" Seras looked at her Master, then at the wall, and then back at him. "Master, I can't-"
"Do it," he growled.
Seras shrugged. "Yes, Master..." Nervously, she walked over to the wall. Slowly, she raised her left hand and placed it against the wall. Nothing happened.
"Go," Alucard nodded.
Nothing happened.
"Um..." Seras said timidly, "I don't know what to do."
Stake me now... Alucard rolled his eyes. "Clear your mind. Relax. Allow your body to be free of the bonds of reality. Let yourself feel nonexistant."
Seras stared at him like he was a madman. "Are you bloody daft?! Feel like I don't exist?"
"Concentrate, relax, and walk through the wall," Alucard pointed at the wall next to him.
"Alright, whatever you say Master..." Seras sighed. She closed her eyes and stretched her arms. Standing silently, she allowed her muscles to relax and her body losen up. "Alright... her goes..."
This is going to be good... Alucard leered as Seras slowly pressed both hands against the wall in front of her.
Slowly, Seras' hands began to melt through the wall in front of her. First her fingers, then her palms, and then her wrists. Once her elbow's were in the wall, she opened her eyes and smiled. "I'm really doing it!"
"Don't get cocky," Alucard placed his hand over his eyes. "And now you have to start over..."
"Huh?" Seras tugged on her arms. They were stuck. "Uh oh..."
Of all the humans I could have turned... it had to be her... Alucard thought to himself.
-----
"Mind reading allows you to read the thoughts of humans. Mind control," Alucard explained, "Allows you to control the minds of humans. Or anyone with a weak mind, actually. It might work on you... Anyway, you will be practising both."
"And how am I supposed to do this?" Seras raised an eyebrow.
Alucard whistled. "Come in."
"Bonjouuuuur," Pip flashed a devinair smirk as he walked through the door.
"I have to use him?!" Seras pointed at Pip. "The French pervert?! I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE IS THINKING!" she yelled. "Especially about me..."
"Okay, we'll skip to mind control," Alucard shrugged. "First, concentrate on your subject."
"Zat would be me," Pip smiled.
"Shut up. Then, look your subject directly in the eyes. Do not break eye contact," Alucard pointed at Pip. Seras nodded her head, and turned to face Pip. She stared intently into his eye, and slowly enclosed the space between them. They continued to stare at each other for several minutes.
"Did it work?" Seras whispered.
"Looks like it. Now, state the fact that you wish him to believe, or the action you wish for him to take..." Alucard explained.
"Cluck like a chicken," Seras commanded. "Now what?"
"Make contact with him, and repeat the statement," Alucard nodded his head.
"Cluck like a chicken..." Seras gently placed her finger on the tip of Pip's nose.
"Merde, you're fingers are cold!" Pip jumped backwards. Seras groaned, while Alucard let out an exhasperated sigh.
"Lets move on to something else..." Alucard muttered. Seras nodded her head, and the two vampires left the room.
"Hm..." Pip leaned against the nearest wall and lit up a cigarrette once they left the room. "BRAWK!" Pip blurted out for no reason. He blinked in confusion a few times, shrugged, and went back to his cancer sticks.
-----
An hour and many arguements later, Seras and Alucard were on the roof. "Now, Police Girl, it is time to melt through floors. Similar to walking through walls, but you just let gravity do the work for you," Alucard pointed down.
"Master..." Seras sighed, "I have a bad feeling about this. It is like my instincts are telling me not to do this."
"Police Girl," Alucard flatly said, "You won't drink blood, yet you will think this is a bad idea? You have a wierd way of thinking about your instincts. Now, repeat the process and float through the floor!"
"Alright, alright..." Seras nodded reluctantly. She closed her eyes, allowed her body to relax, and let out a sigh. After several seconds of silence, her feet began to slowly morph through the floor.
"Good, Police Girl," Alucard commented. "Keep going, don't worry, and stay calm."
"Yes, Master," Seras mumbled with a nod. Her body had gone through up to her stomach by now.
"You're keeping a good pace. Excellent!" Alucard smiled. "You've gotten good. I'll meet you downstairs in the Foyer."
"Alright," Seras nodded. A few seconds later, she was gone.
I don't know if I should be proud she finally did it, or ashamed it took this long... Alucard thought as he walked away.
-----
Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip.
"Just be glad it wasn't Holy Water," Alucard smirked. Seras stared at him with hatred burning in her eyes. Water was dripping from her wet hair, and her clothing soaked with water.
"I fell." Seras hissed. "Into a shower..." Her voice was saturated with anger.
"A shower, you say?" Alucard grinned.
"Yes," Seras nodded. "And Integra was not happy to see me."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!" Alucard cackled upon hearing that bit of information. True, he had sensed the commotion, but it was even funnier hearing it from her embarrassed fledgling's mouth.
"I'm going to my room..." Seras growled as she turned to leave.
"Not in the mood for more lessons?" Alucard asked.
"Only if they involve shooting you in the head repeatedly..." Seras muttered as she headed through the door to go downstairs.
Actually, regeneration was the next lesson... Alucard shrugged.
I CAN HEAR YOU! Seras screamed in his mind.
I know... Alucard smiled.
I think I might actually write a sequal to this chapter. There are so many possibilities. Regeneration, levitation, and many other powers...
Next chapter: Interviewing Anderson. Followed by: Vampire Physiology Part 2!
Wow, 10 minutes 'til Midnight! Talk about close!
