Hi again! So I've updated this chapter, it's now longer and hopefully without too many spelling errors! Hope you like! And thanks for reading! ^__^

----------------------

Alucard could clearly sense and almost see the tension radiate out of Seras body as hot fire. He had to admit that he was a bit surprised when she said she couldn't tell him why he couldn't read the letter.

How dare she tell me what to do! I am her master! She is nothing but a fledging, and she is to do as she's told...right? Right! She is forgetting who I am and what I could do to her if I wanted! I could crush her into sand and then some! Not that I would do that, but she doesn't know that... How could I ever hurt such a beautiful being? Those big blue eyes are stunning, even I have to admit that... gah! What's gotten into me..? Anyway... she still can't tell me what I can and cannot do!

Oh, how he wanted to read her mind and get this ridiculous thing over with, so he started to search her mind.

Feeling her master probing her thoughts, Seras quickly locked them up in her «vault» so to speak. She had learned over the years that it was a place her master could not reach, in the deepest depths of her mind. She had learned that all creatures had one, but only those smart enough knew how to use them. Luckily, she had Walter who helped her with that. And it annoyed Alucard to no end.

But it was not right that anyone could probe another beings deepest thoughts, it crashes with the idea of people having their own free will and that their mind is nothing but their own. So that her master could probe her thoughts was just unacceptable to her. And she had never regretted learning the skill from Walther, heaven knows what he must have gone through in his life, dealing with Alucard for all those years… No wonder Alucard held such high respect for him, even though he would never admit to it.

Finding only empty space in his fledgling's head, Alucard quickly became furious. «You are not to keep secrets from me, Police Girl!» he shouted at her. «If you do, you will be punished!» He was inches away from her face now. As he whispered in her ear, he said «and you know how much I enjoy bringing pain and suffering to others... I would highly suggest that you don't get on my wrong side, because I would hate to ruin such a pretty face».

With that, he disappeared, leaving a cold chill in the room. Seras shrugged and wrapped her arms around herself, it was a long time since he had been so furious at her, the last time she could remember was when she had just started at Hellsing and didn't want to drink blood. She had long since accepted that now. It was a bit frightening, but Alucard was not one to mess with, that's for sure. She was just glad he had given up on the letter, for the time being. And besides, to him, it was just a letter; she couldn't really see why he had to read it. For all he knew, it could just be a… resignation letter or something. Yeah, as if he'd believe that!

-'-'-'-

Meanwhile, Alucard stepped out of the shadows and into his chamber. He was beyond furious; he was on the verge of exploding with fury!
Walter should never have taught her that trick! It was bad enough that she could stop him from finding the deepest secrets she had, but now when he really needed to know something, she could just lock them up! It was not fair, not at all! She was his, and his alone. What right did she have to keep something private from him!

Well, I don't own her mind…unfortunately.. But still, she should be able to tell me if something is bothering her. I'm not that scary or menacing, am I? … oh who am I kidding! I'm the strongest, most dangerous vampire in the world, of course she fears me! And she's right to fear me; I could kill her without breaking a sweat. Although she's come out of her shell since she first came here, so I guess were on the right path at least. Still!
He slammed his fist into the wall, creating a big hole in the process. He kicked of his boots and tossed his coat on the wooden chair. Frustrated he lay down in his enormous coffin, wondering what Seras was up to.
Well, she can't hide it forever. And maybe I could pester Walter to snoop around? Meh, probably not, he sees her as a daughter, and would never violate her trust I guess. He is just too good of a butler that man..Sighing, he relaxed into the soft sating cover in his coffin.

«Sometimes I don't get you Seras… even though at first you appeared to be quite simple minded, I guess you're not.. heh, which is a good thing actually, wouldn't had any use for some creature unable to form a thought, there's enough ghouls out there for that!»

And there I'm talking to myself again… but she has become very dear to me, I'll admit that, and she can hold her own in a battle for sure. I must admit, I'm very proud of my little fledgling, she's grown to become a vampire deserving of respect. And quite a beauty too… But that Pip what's-his-name… the looks he's sending is quite disturbing. Doesn't he know what consequences there will be if he ever dares to lay a hand on what's rightfully mine? Sometimes I can't help but to wonder whether or not he has a death wish. Frenchmen! I've never liked the lot anyway! But the next time I see him so much as smiling at Seras… there will be blood flowing and it will certainly not be mine!

A grin, the trademark of him, slowly appeared on his face, oh yes, it would be so wonderful to be able to feel the crushing of bones under his fingers…there had been way too little killing to do lately, and he was beginning to get pretty restless, which was why he was snooping around and being generally annoying. But it was always much fun in pestering Seras and making her embarrassed. Walter was way too calm and collected, and his master, well, she could just order him away and then he had to leave in the end. Stupid seal and stupid Hellsing family.

But the killings were all that amused him nowadays. Until now. That letter had made him pretty curious, it had his name on it after all, and she wouldn't let him read it? What nonsense was that? It had his name on it! But he would leave it be for now, she seemed very protective of it but he was certain he'd find out about it sooner or later. Afterall, Seras was never the one who was good at keeping secrets.

Or so he thought.
