Angel moved back into her manor that was no more than a mile down the road, but it was further back and more covered by the trees. But once the tree's finally stop it opens too eight acres of front garden and a lake that is two acres in wide and length. The manor was a old styled one, all timbers and windows that were made to look old. But the manor was also heavily protected, as it held more within it's walls than Angel and her belongings. Angel rode down the gravel road to the front of her home, she pulled the bike out the front door and removed the key from around her neck. She had been up all night searching through her bags for it, she carelessly threw it in one of them and completely forgot which one. She walked into the front door, she looked up and saw that it was still rather dusty and she walked on in. She spent a hour walking through the manor, memories came flooding back as if a part of her life that was erased was crashing back. But hardly any of the memories were sad ones, she even spotted bullet holes in a wall in the kitchen where she and Integra were playing when they nicked a gun. She walked to the twenty acre back garden, she spotted deer grazing in the distance. The shooting ground was still standing,the grass was over grown and made the back garden look more like a forgotten field.

Walter knocked the front door, Angel opened the door and walked in with a troop of Hellsing cleaners behind him. Even Seras was among them, she looked around the manor and smiled as she had not had to clean up a room for such a long time. The fifteen strong group stood at the bottom of the wooden stair case that was like a pyramid to the the next floor, Angel and Walter were stood together and Angel said out loud

"Right, we'll split up into groups I need five to sort out the lower part of the manor. Five will go up too the second floor and sort that out while five of you stay on this floor and sort out the different rooms"

"You are all equipped with cleaning equipment, so we shall have a break at twelve O'Clock for lunch that I shall sort" Walter said back and Angel said as the people broke into groups of five

"Right, Walter is going to be with me for the first hour of this morning so if you come to any locked rooms just come and find us"

Seras walked off with a group that were going to the lower level, Walter and Angel walked around the stairs and into the kitchen and out the back door. He looked at the back garden and said seeing the deer leaping through it

"Less of a garden and more of a meadow or jungle"

"I've got that bit sorted" Angel said as the sound of a truck came into the air and Walter asked as a horse massive horse trailer backed up

"What is that?"

"Local abandoned horses trust, I told them they can let all their forty horses have a holiday on the grounds" Angel explained tapping the side of the truck

The back of the truck was popped open, Angel lowered the ramp and six different horses came galloping out. That truck drove off and another back up within five minutes, more horses were let out and within the hour the manor grounds were smothered in horses of all breeds and sizes. Walter asked as the horses started to chew down the over grown grass

"How long are they staying?"

"Two days" Angel replied and Walter asked as he saw one rush around the manor for a drink

"Who are you expecting to clean up after them?"

"Who do you think?" Angel smiled and took a bite of a apple and Walter put his hand over his face.

Seras walked down a hallway, it was very dark but she could see just fine but then she turned a corner and found a room that was locked. She felt a cold sensation, this room was a room full of secrets and things of old. She stood there by the door, she suddenly heard Walter's voice say from the end of the hall

"Miss Victoria, this room is not to be opened"

"Yes sir, but it has such a cold feeling to it" Seras explained and Angel said turning on the light

"That's because it holds Hellsing artifacts, from a very long time ago and right up to the week before I left fifteen years ago. I will only open it when the time comes to open it"

The clock struck twelve, Walter walked out with cold drinks for all and sandwiches of all varieties. They all sat on the stone stairs into the manor, the horses became interested by the smell but loved the grass to much to bother the group. Seras was stood in the shade of the arch over the door, she had a blood bag in her hand and really didn't want to drink it. But she gave into the look and sipped it from the top, but her eyes shot open...what was she doing. She was never this relaxed in the Hellsing house, she always wondered if Alucard was watching her but she knew he wasn't here. She didn't mind him being there, but she does like her privacy and here in the Sancho manor she felt like she had it. Angel was sat on a high wall by the door, she was watching a red and white stallion cob that was looking rather like the leader of the herd. Seras walked over and asked as Walter lifted the empty tray and walked back in

"Excuse me miss, I hope you don't mind me asking but...why did you leave all those years ago?"

"I wanted to see the world, you see Seras when I reached the far lands of China and saw the sun rise it was memorable. So I turned around and went to the far reaches of America and watched the sun set. When you can say you've done that it really says something, especially when you have killed over three thousand ghouls and other monsters in between" Angel said back to the amazed look of Seras and Seras said back

"I would love to see that"

"Play your cards right, then I might get you away from Integra and seeing the world with me. I think you'll be able to manage a sunset but a sunrise...we'll have to see" Angel said back and Seras's eyes lit up and she said back

"You mean it, you'd take me across the world to see that stuff"

"Sure, if you can keep up with me and my monster bike" Angel smiled back and Seras's face dropped as she knew that she might not be able to keep up with the bike she had spotted out the door of the Hellsing manor and she said back

"Oh"

"Do you know how to ride a motorbike Seras?" Angel asked back and Seras replied

"No, I was going to try out for it in the police force before I..."

"Was bitten, don't worry about it. I have my old horse in the garage, I'll show you how to ride" Angel said back and Seras said back once again beaming

"For real"

"If your master and his master don't mind lending you to me"

Seras once again went back to the 'not expecting much face', she knew that even if Integra gave the nod Alucard would be there to watch. But she shook it off, she was now determined to prove herself as more than a silly baby vampire. Walter walked back out, with a phone in his hand and said to Angel who now had her forearm on her knee

"Miss Sancho, Sir Integra wished to speak with you"

"Oh bugger (takes the phone and puts it to her ear) Hello Integra"

"Where the hell are my cleaners?" Integra almost roared down the phone and Angel said back

"What cleaners?"

"I said you could have Walter for two days, not my whole cleaning team and one of my vampires" Integra snapped down the phone and Angel said back

"Uh, well if your not going to talk in a calm manner then we are going to wait until you cool down"

"Don't you dare hang up on me" Integra roared down the phone but Angel hung up and said handing the phone to Walter

"She wouldn't send Alucard to torture me, would she?"

"I wouldn't think so, you were both the same way when you were young" Walter replied and Angel sighed back

"Yeah, she'll kick the hell out of me herself"

Integra put the phone down, she held her nose with her finger and thumb in a effort to ease the pressure that was building. Angel had been back mo more than one day and had already half emptied the house.Alucard was stood in the room, Integra said as he moved toward the desk

"Maybe she had matured from when we were younger"

"What purpose does she have my master, other than the fact she is your oldest friend" Alucard asked and Integra replied signing a paper in front of her

"Her family were the keepers of Hellsing artifacts, also they originally trained the Hellsing recruits"

"Maybe she could teach Seras a little, I can teach her so much but some things only mortals can show" Alucard said back looking through his shades and Integra replied

"You mean you want to see what she is capable of (gets a smile from Alucard) well when a attack happens you can find out. I promise you that the events of the cliff are a walk in the park for her, serious stuff is when we both shine"

Alucard was liking the sound of this, this mortal seemed to be someone who could be just as much fun as Integra herself. He was tempted to visit the Sancho manor then, but Integra would be furious if he left with out her consent. So he vanished back into the darkness, he reappeared in the dungeon and walked along trying to recall a single time Integra might have mentioned Angel. But then a memory came back to him, before Integra was even born there was a person in his former masters life with the name Sancho. But it was not the last name, it was the first name of the man and he was a general who trained old Hellsing to shoot a crossbow. He shuddered at the memory, for the arrow was aimed at him to see if he would die or not. But they all knew the verdict on that, Alucard was now confused because Angel's family must have been kept away from his attention. But the question now was why?

Angel walked through the basement, she then walked into a room she remembered that she left locked. But it was open, she walked in and found that it was the same as Alucard's room but with more drapes and throw cushions across the room. The last time she saw this room it was not even finished, the stone wall to the right had a hole in it and the floor didn't have a blood red carpet through the center. She walked into the room, a light instantly came on sensing that someone had walked in. Seras looked in, she thought the fire lit room was amazingly beautiful and gave a slight gasp at it. Angel sat in the large leather chair by the empty fireplace, it needed dusting and spotting Seras she said

"You can work on this room"

"Is this for my master?" Seras asked and Angel replied

"I never discovered the reason for this room, but all of them have a reason for being"

Seras walked around admiring the room, Angel walked out of it to let Seras do her work and Seras started to dust away. She had been in there for fifteen minute when the door creaked and Angel walked back in with a large torch. Seras turned, she wondered what Angel was up too and Angel said back

"I'd better go and have a quick chat with Integra"

Angel turned, the fireplace had no fire within it still and she reached into the fireplace and counted in her head. She pushed a stone in, then she paused for a moment and then twisted it to the right. The whole wall slid back, she turned on her light and said into a walkie talkie

"Walter I'm just taking Seras for a quick tour of the...less adventured parts of the manor. I'll be back in a hour"

"Affirmative Miss Sancho, back in time for tea I believe" Walter said back with static from the walls and Angel said into it before putting it back on her belt

"You know me so well"

"A secret way to the manor" Seras stated and Angel smiled and said back shinning her light down it

"Well it was an insurance policy, insured that Integra snuck in every now and then to scare the life out of me" Angel said back and they both walked into the dark corridor.
