Seras woke to the same room she had come to know as hers, but it didn't feel like home. Her few belongings she had, her clothes and basic necessities, were all she had. It felt more like a prison room then anything. She forced herself to sit up, her half-closed eyes scanned the room.

She was still in her clothes from yesterday, although she was actually glad no one had undressed her, that would be too horrible to bare thinking who had done it.

Seras pulled the covers from her and swung her legs over the side, on the far chair in the corner of the room was a new set of clothes, they looked exactly like the ones she already wore, but at least they were new. Pulling off her old set she threw them on the floor, and adorned the new set. Looking like she now hadn't slept in her clothes she examined herself in the mirror. With a yawn she gave herself a quick glance over, that mark on her wrist was still there, there was no hiding it….

But then Seras went back to her discarded clothes on the floor, she tore a piece of cloth of from a jacket, a cleaner will hate it, but she thought with a smile that she didn't care. With a little bit of effort she managed to wrap the small bit of material around her wrist and tie it somewhat with her other hand. Flexing her hand she smiled, her hand was fine, not too tight and not too loose. Then she looked back at the mirror for a second……wait…what was that? Seras hurried back to the mirror, and examined her eyes. She looked so close to he mirror the rest of the room disappeared from view. But there it was, on both of her eyes was a thin line of red around her iris. What had caused it? But Seras just hoped no one would notice.

Seras thought about just staying in her room and barricading the door, but as that thought came her stomach growled in hunger.

'Glad to see my body is with me on this…' She sighed sarcastically. And stood up to find some food.

In the canteen she looked around for anyone else, and luckily but unusually there was no one…where was everyone? She shrugged, what did she care…although it would be nice to see Yumiko again. She seemed to generally want to help her.

After getting her bowl of cereal and ignoring the usual look from the kitchen staff she sat herself down on a table, it was almost eerie, she was in a huge dinner hall and she was the only one there. Where was everyone? She asked herself again.

About half way through her small meal she heard a blood curdling howl…what the? The howl echoed through the room, vibrating off the walls and hitting her more sensitive ears. She looked back to the kitchen staff to find that they had disappeared. Seras lightly placed her spoon back on the table and she let her hand drift down to her side to rest on the hilt of her blade. No sound, the sun shone down from the glass windows, but no sound came from outside, no birds, no crunch of leaves underfoot. Nothing… Seras was now a little more then just worried. She stood up from her seat and gave the room a quick scan, moments from certain horror films filled her head, making her heart race with imagined terror filled moments. She breathed deeply to try and calm herself down, while now keeping a firm hold on the hilt of her sword. A sudden crash from the far door at the end of the room caused her neck to snap to it's direction, another bang echoed around the room, this time the great stone doors strained and groaned from some outside force, this time Seras quickly drew her sword and raised it ahead of her.

"Seras!" Came a female voice from behind her, Seras whirled her head around to see Heinkel rush in the stone doors from behind, they were open to reveal a wide bright corridor with a rushing Yumiko behind her. Heinkel had her glasses hiding her eyes and her guns were out ready, blood covered one of her arms and her uniform was torn. Yumiko appeared from behind, or what she thought was Yumiko, her face was different, her smiled was contorted to that of an almost evil grin and she bore what looked like a samurai sword, she likewise bore tares and scratches. "Seras! Look out!" Screamed Heinkel, Seras turned back just in time for another louder bang to hit the door and the doors were forced open! But what stood in the corridor shocked Seras.

A monster twice the size of her easily stood with it's legs actually bent, it's legs were covered in shredded remains of pants and black fur grew from the patches of ripped material, its feet were elongated and the monster stood on the balls of it's feet like an animal, the toes ending in long dagger like claws. A half shredded jacket was balanced on it's shoulders…the sleeves were gone and just long furry arms ending in dark blood covered claws were in its place. The head was atrocious to look at, with an long thick muzzle covered in black hair and sharp ears searching for sounds of life, like a dog of hell the beast's great head stared straight at her, it's yellow cold killer eyes had her in it's sight, its mouth opened to reveal a row of sharp fangs, each one covered in drool and blood. A tail flicked up dust of the floor and a low growl rose from its throat, a jangle drew Seras' attention to its belt, a sword and gun rested there unused…this was a Vatican member! But that was impossible! A bloodthirsty howl rang out from the hell hound and it charged straight for her on all fours! It's muscle rippled as it reached closer. "Leaver her alone!" Heinkel yelled as I sudden shot rang out and skimmed the air just beside Seras' face, the sound woke Seras from her dream-like state and a new focus filled her mind, from the lessons her uncle had taught her she sent the sword from her hand bayonet style, the sword whistled through the air as it left her hand at the oncoming beast, her aim was off as it hit the creature in the shoulder. Splaying blood from its wound as what could only be described as a harsh scream escaped its throat, but it still came! Lurching up onto its hind legs it hit Seras square in the chest. A harsh shove knocked her off her feet and she was sent flying back. But she couldn't keep the smile of her face! She recovered in mid-air and somersaulted onto a far table, she found herself hissing at the creature as it stared in half-confusion at her. At her sound the beast swung its muscled arms around as it pounded through tables to get to her. Seras simply leapt from her spot to a new table, watching as the beast got more and more enraged at her efforts.

"Heinkel!" Seras shouted. And she held out her hand to her, Heinkel got the message and threw one of her guns at her, Seras caught it out the air like she'd always done this line of work and pointed the weapon at the oncoming monster's head. The thing saw this and instead tried to leap to her, Seras pulled the trigger and shot into the creature's chest, but the beast was already above her and it fell on her in a pounce.

Seras was pushed to the floor as she let more shots ring out, filling the creature with holy bullets and feeling the blood drip onto her body. Seras felt a harsh sharp pain as her back connected to the floor underneath, but the adrenaline rush made her ignore the pain as she reacted instantly! She launched her free hand in a punch and connected with the creature square in the chin! Sending the over-sized dog to the side of her and letting her free from its grasp, Seras immediately brought her legs up and rolled backwards into a crouched position, the monster looked back at her, its lips curved back into a snarl, as blood dribbled down from its nose. Suddenly it leapt for her! But Seras used her legs and jumped high above the beast as it lunged, causing it to smack into another nearby table, as she whirled in mid-air and letting off more shots, this time into the back of the beast.

Seras landed on her feet on another of the tables, and looked back to see…it gone! She looked around frantically, but it was gone…Seras looked back to Heinkel to ask, but she was pointing to something behind her.

"Seras!" She turned just in time to see the creature was right in front of her, it's hulking height towering over her as the wounds continued to bleed. Seras didn't have time to react as it shot out and bit down on her shoulder!
"Aaargh…Bastard!" She screamed as she found herself reaching up with her wounded arm and pulling on the hair on the head of the gigantic creature with such force her ripped the creature off with her own flesh in it's mouth, and she quickly shoved her gun to the head of the beast and pulled the trigger. Blood and brain matter spilled out the other side as half of its head was missing, that must have been an explosive round as the beast now buckled and fell to the floor. Crashing to the stone floor covered in blood.

Seras panted as she was exhausted and the red around her vision faded, with it the pain came to her tenfold, her back and especially her half torn shoulder sent new waves of pain to her brain. Her vision began to go blurred as her legs lost the strength to hold her up. And she buckled, sending her to her knees…but a light tingling in her shoulder began to dim her pain, and when she looked up she saw her shoulder beginning to slowly mend itself! Not at the speed of Anderson…but it was healing much faster then any human could hope for! But at that she lost consciousness and blackness filled her vision.

"Seras! Seras! Are you ok?" Heinkel yelled as she saw Seras go to her knees and then fall to the ground. Heinkel struggled over the tables with Yumie following.

"What happened…?" Yumie…or rather Yumiko now spoke.

"No clue, but lets get to her as soon as we can!" Heinkel jumped over the last table and fallen chair and reached an unconscious Seras, Heinkel watched as he shoulder totally healed. "Maybe we won't be needing a medic…" Heinkel spoke as she struggled to pull her gun out of Seras' grip. After pulling each of the fingers off one at a time she managed it and then placed the gun back on her belt inside her jacket. Heinkel glanced over to the body of her once brother Vatican member, his shredded clothes and werewolf body that lay bleeding was all that was left of him.

"Wow…" Yumiko started,

"Yeah, the only one I know who could have taken that werewolf one on one is Anderson…there's no one else who could have even survived…"

"Well you do now." Yumiko stated, as she also made it to the circle of tables and chairs around the two bodies. "We have to bury him…he didn't become something from hell out of choice." Heinkel nodded.

"Yeah, but I suppose she didn't choose to become an agent of heaven either did she?" Yumiko looked up at her. "Never mind… Help me with him."

Once Heinkel and Yumiko were gone to bury the werewolf and the dead Anderson soon appeared with a medic to look after his niece. He and the doctor were crouched in the little space made by the two combatants, as they didn't want to move her.

"She seems fine to me." The Doctor plainly said, as he nodded and packed up his stuff. Anderson smiled and placed a hand on her warm cheek.

"There's my little girl." He spoke warmly. At that Seras opened her eyes.

Seras' vision swam into view…she felt like she was going to lose what she had of her breakfast any second. When she felt a voice. Alucard? She thought…but she knew that was impossible right now. As she felt more awake she realised it was her uncle. Alex.

"Huh?" Was all she managed.

"Don't worry…I'm very proud of you…soon you'll be able to become my partner and go out there and make the world God's place once again." Seras tried to reply, but she didn't have the strength. Before her world began to lose focus once again…

Anderson watched as Seras lost consciousness again, he smiled and then once he was sure her wound was totally healed he picked he up bridal style and struggled over the mess of the tables himself.

"Hey get someone in here to clean this up!" He yelled to no one in particular, as people and members came rushing in from other places around the Vatican.

Seras opened her eyes once again, this time to her own room. Well a room allocated to her, she didn't want to be here at all.

"Hey, you ok now?" That was her uncle once again. She found herself propped up against the headrest with pillows underneath.

"What happened…?" She asked…her memory was woozy.

"You don't remember?" Anderson asked…a hint of worry laced his voice. "You battled a werewolf one on one. If I weren't ashamed that it was one of our own it would have been great! But I am still very proud of you, there is no one else apart from me, not even my own son, that could have done that." This wasn't sinking in well with Seras.

"Huh, werewolf?" She asked, her voice wavering. Anderson looked back at her. "A werewolf is one of the many forms of evil that we fight, a lycanthrope is a disease that affects the mind and body turning you into a vicious beast, half-man half-beast. If only we had known…"

"If only you had known what?" She questioned. Her memory beginning to return as well as her sense of being.

"…" He didn't reply.

"If only you'd known what he was…? So you could have killed him?" Anderson stood up off her bed,

"There is no cure." But Seras was outraged by this.

"So you were just going to kill him! Like an animal!" She spat at him. But he had turned his back.

"It is the only way, that way he could have gone peacefully and take his place in heaven without letting the disease drag him down into the depths of hell." But a sudden thought came to her…

"Wait…I was bit…" Anderson turned to her with renewed panic in his eyes.

"What! I thought it was a claw slash!" Seras looked down to her hands.

"Yeah, I pulled him off me…I suppose it would look like that…an…" But Seras couldn't finish…she instantly lost all her strength in the rest of her body as something filled her mouth. She vomited a thick black gunk onto her bed sheets! A horrible smell assaulted her nose. And Anderson stepped back instinctively. Before he looked around for a bucket or something, as he rushed off to the bathroom Seras felt the sae feeling once again, and she puked up the black and gunk again, this time laced with blood. Anderson rushed out of the bathroom with a bucket and placed it in front of Seras. While he picked up the phone and pressed a button on it while pulling the phone to his ear.

"Hey Doctor, you might want to come down here."

Alucard was awoken by an odd buzzing in his ear…what was that…? But the noise came from elsewhere. When he scanned his mind he realised the odd buzzing wasn't buzzing at all…but growling! He snapped his eyes open and dove his mind through their link. On the other end was something he didn't expect to see. In the darkness of Seras' mind was a beast hunched over…on closer inspection it was a werewolf! It's bright white eyes stared up at him in malice. The blonde fur rippled as he realised what he was staring at. Seras as a werewolf! He shook his head and tutted.

"My, my aren't we in trouble." Alucard raised his hand and called his jackel to him. The gun obediently appeared in his hand. "On second thought, you may come in handy. But for now I won't let you do as you please in this body!" In a flash a muzzle appeared on the werewolf Seras and a cage enveloped her. Quickly turning translucent with the werewolf inside to be washed away into the dark corners of her mind. The last thing Alucard did before leaving Seras was to send his emotions out to her in her sleep. Warmth would not be what she would feel, but instead the cold wave of affection only he could send.

"Are you sure she was bit?" The Doctor asked Anderson as he stared intently into the tube to blood just taken from her. The same Doctor as before rubbed his chin in thought. "There's just no sign of it."

"As much as I am glad to hear you say that, that's impossible!" He sat at the bottom of a now sleeping Seras' bed. "Are you sure?" The Doctor turned the tube around continually and looked from different angles, his eyes squinting in concentration.

"Yes, I am. There isn't anything here…of course I'll take it back to be examined more thoroughly. But I'm sure she escaped infection….how bizarre." He muttered as he exited the room still looking at the tube in his hands.

AN: This is the first time I've done a note at the end! All well, thanks for all your reviews! We appreciate them a lot.
