Alucard held the man by his neck, suspending him in the air in a room around the corner from where his fledgling lay, damaged. The bunker was old but well reinforced. That did not matter when Alucard had heard her cry. Doors lay off their hinges in the hallway, his shadows swarming angrily and quickly eating up any moonlight that dared touch the ground.
"You were already slated for death by my master, the magnificent Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing" Alucard shook his prey "but you made this so much worse for yourself as soon as you laid a hand on what is mine." He dropped the insect, kicking him in the ribs as he crumpled to the floor. "How dare you!" Crouching, Alucard pinned the man by driving an arm through his chest and into the ground, carefully missing any vital organs.
"I didn't know!" The man shrieked. Shaking before his king. "I didn't know!"
"You knew she belonged to someone as soon as you saw her marks." Alucard twisted his arm inside the cavity, eliciting a beautiful scream. "You should have fed more discretely in the first place. Idiot." He removed his arm from the dullards chest. Dragging him up by his hair. "Idiots like you deserve everything they get." A grin split his face. "And you touched what was not yours." Alucard grabbed the man at his right shoulder "the punishment for thieves is to lose a hand. What do you think you deserve?" With a swift rip the man's arm separated from his body. Screams filled the air as Alucard gave the same treatment to his other side. That was that then. "Go ahead" he patted the shadows almost affectionately as they formed into the giant hellhound Baskerville, and consumed the living corpse.

All was dark. The weight of another person lay against Seras' side and she screamed, ripping at whatever was closest and attempting to get away. He was still here. Still touching her.
Shhhhhh. Police girl. Calm yourself.A voice filled her head as her eyes adjusted to the inky black. Her master knelt over her, his arm dripping blood where she had torn his flesh.You are safe. You are home.Seras whimpered.
"I'm sorry. So sorry." She was not exactly sure what she was apologizing for. Clawing at her master? For not being strong enough to stop the vampire on her own? All she knew was that she was sorry. Sobbing now, Seras buried her head into the sheets. Why did she just let it happen? It was her fault.
No! His anger was palpable.No. More calmly now Alucard turned her face to look at him.He charmed you. Of course he did. I never taught you how to close your mind.Alucard gathered her in his arms.I will teach you. Everything. And you will be strong. You are of my blood. When you reign at the height of your power no one will be able to touch you.He rested his forehead against hers.My Seras Victoria.
