~Tides of Change~Chapter 1~ by Angelic and Demonic~April 4 2011~

"So, what's London like?" Eric Yorkie asked, sounding off his eleventh question in the past five minutes, walking a bit to close beside her for Seras's liking, his greasy, shoulder length hair brushing the collar of her shirt.

Would it be wrong to get Master to kill them all in their sleep?

She hadn't even made it to class yet and she was ready to tear out her hair, the two competing boys vying for her attention all at the same time, Mike asking something the same time Eric was. It was giving her a headache!

"Um, its okay, kinda smoggy at times, but its alright." she said, inching back as the boy's crowded in, smiles a little too lecherous for her liking. "Shouldn't we be getting to class? Mircea, won't like it if I'm late for class on the first day..."

"No worries, beautiful, we're already there!" Mike cheered, giving a one armed hug.

So help me if he touch-

"Pig!" she shrieked, slapping him lightly (for her) across the face, leaving a red stain on his cheek. "Touch me again and I'll...and I'll leave you for the dogs!"

Fuming, she stormed past the American pig, kicking open the door to her biology class, slamming her papers onto the teachers desk.

"I'm Seras Victoria, the transfer student from London, my Mas-Mircea told me you needed to sign this."

The teacher, Mr. Banner if the whiteboard was correct, gave a polite nod, scrawling his name of the top of the paper, handing it back to her.

"Class, this is Miss Victoria, she recently transferred to our school from England, I hope you all will welcome her with open arms."

Waving shyly, all previous anger forgotten, Seras slumped into the desk Mr. Banner indicated, clenching her hands together as Eric slid in beside her.

If it wasn't for bad luck, she wouldn't have any luck at all. She got shot in the breast for crying out loud! And was turned into a vampire! If that doesn't speak for it, then nothing will.

"Today, class, we'll be learning about the Respiratory system..."

Quietly groaning, Seras slumped lower in her desk, mentally preparing herself for the upcoming torture.

Her next classes, Spanish and Trigonometry, passed with little to no incidents, her followers, Eric and Mike, having separate classes than hers, which left her thanking whatever gods there were. Now all she had to do was avoid them during lunch.

Wincing as the bell pierced her sensitive eardrums, Seras pushed herself from her desk along with the other dozen kids of her Spanish class, waving cheerfully to the teacher, Mrs. Munoz.

"¡Hasta luego!" She called, shouldering her bag while stuffing her many textbooks into it.

I don't remember school being so hard! She mentally complained, following the sea of milling students.

It has been many years, my little Draculina.

Starting at Alucard's mental voice, she immediately retorted, irritated with him so blatantly invading her privacy.

Master! How many times do I have to tell you! Stay in your own bloody mind!

Now what would be the fun in that? He chuckled, withdrawing, mind flashing with a sudden anger. Damn that mortal buffoon...

"Master's new job must not be going so well," she giggled, covering her mouth as she entered the cafeteria, feeling sorry for whatever man had to deal with her Master's blatant disregard for hygiene and the mortal law system.

The cafeteria was painted white, the chairs an ugly shade of medicinal blue, and the tables were made of the faux wood that would easily break under too much strain. All in all, Seras decided, someone had made some serious budget costs.

Seriously, someone could have at least added a couple of decorations! The place was getting her down and she hadn't even been there for five seconds!

Shifting uncertainly under all the stares, she picked up her lunch, slipping into a reasonably empty table near the doors, focusing solely on her meal, hoping everyone else would take the hint.

Unfortunately, they didn't. Didn't these people have anything else to do? And, it seemed, Mike and Eric had started their own fan club, a barrel full of other geeks, jocks, and in-between guys sitting at one table gazing at her in what could only be described as a lustful manner.

Master isn't going to be too happy... She groaned, clutching her head in despair. Integra wouldn't be too happy if she had to cover up a high school slaughter.

"So, you're the new transfer student?" A chemically blonde, fish-eyed girl hooked a hip on her table, drawing her thoughts away from blood and gore to old school mean girls.

"Yep," she bubbled for what seemed like the millionth time, "I'm Seras Victoria, and you are...?"

"I'm Lauren Mallory, and if you know what's good for you, you'll stay out of my way." giving a sniff, the barbie girl sashayed away, heading, without a doubt, to her fan club.

"Don't mind Lauren, she's, well, she's just herself." A plain, brown eyed, brown haired girl slid in beside her, holding out a hand. "Hi, I'm Bella Swan, you must be Seras."

"Its a pleasure!" Seras murmured, forcing a smile as the smell of fetid meat washed over her. Resisting the urge to gag, she pinched her nose, blocking the smell slightly. Bella smiled in confusion, gaze wandering over her shoulder and her countenance immediately brightening into that of a wishy-washy fangirl.

"Edward, come and meet the new student!"

Seras stiffened.

Edward? Cullen?

A red-head materialized beside Bella, yellow eyes narrowed as he surveyed Seras coldly, thin lips pressed into a hard line.

"Hello," he mumbled, leaning into Bella. "I'm Edward Cullen, this is my girlfriend Bella."

"We've met." Seras answered dryly, actually gagging as the smell doubled in potency.

"Sorry, food went down the wrong tube." she apologized as they looked at her odd. I'm never going to get this smell out. Master probably won't even go near me anymore.

The boy continued to stare at her as his girlfriend dug into her food, resting his chin in his hand as his eyes literally bored into her. Squirming beneath his gaze, she bolted to her feet, rattling off a list of apologies as she crashed through the doors, collapsing against the lockers and sucking in a deep lungful of clean air, pulling out her pink cell-phone and dialling in the number she knew better than her own.

She tapper her foot, listening as the phone ringed and ringed, finally being picked up.

"Master," she whispered immediately, "I think I've found one of them."

The day passed quickly, Seras locating the smell on another one of her classmates, a petite, black haired girl with foggy yellow eyes, who had stared at her throughout the class. She had Gym with 'Edward', and had cheered herself for not throwing up her lunch as she exited the doors.

Her Master had been curious of the 'teenagers', and had ordered her to question the other students of their living area and their numbers.

Her classmates hadn't been too surprised at her questions, and had replied that they lived out of town, the 'dad' working at the hospital and the mother being a stay at home type.

They were young, they said, and had adopted all of their children, the older ones having moved away last year after moving, and only 'Alice' and 'Edward' remained. The other curious thing, the only one ever to date was Edward, and he only showed interest in the Bella girl.

It was all giving Seras a headache. Again.

Alucard had promised her that he would pick her up, and she was holding him to her promise, waiting impatiently for him outside of the school, Mike and Eric circling her like vultures.

"Enough you two!" she snapped, pushing them away. "I'm not interested! I already-"

"She already has a boyfriend."

Alucard, dressed in casual slacks and a black button-up shirt, goggles and hat abandoned and hair allowed free. His presence was still foreboding however, and the boys instantly shrunk back, whimpering as he threw them a sharp-toothed grin, malice and ill-intent clear.

"Mas-I mean, Mircea!" Seras squealed, throwing herself at her Master. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I don't think I could have lasted another second! She sent to him, spotting a glowering Edward and Alice over her Master's shoulders.

"Hello, Police Girl, I take it you missed me?" he chuckled, giving her a brief squeeze, red eyes glowing as as his grin switched to her.

She glared at him. "I told you to stop calling me that," she argued halfheartedly, secretly, deep within her hearts of hearts, enjoying the pet name. "Don't make me sick Walter on you!"

"Police Girl?" she heard Mike whisper. "I'm even more intrigued. She should so leave him for me, and she will. Will you help me, Ben?"

She flushed red, dropping from her Master's neck, following him as he lead them from the schools property, just far enough so he could transport.

Abruptly, he rounded on her, radiating hatred as he whispered to her.

"We're being followed."
