Hello everyone! I am glad to see everyone seems to be enjoying the story so far. I have been having idea after idea with this story so that is why these chapters are going up so quick! I hope you guys all continue to enjoy the story as it progresses!

Dark ruby eyes regarded the members of the Hellsing Organization before her. Alucard at the front, Sir Integra and Walter behind, followed by Pip and his mercenaries.

'It seems they did come for me after all', she thought dully. The demon within her smirked

'You got lucky brat, that's all', her demon cooed.

'If I remember correctly, you said no one would come at all. So silence yourself demon', Seras growled at the demon. In her mind's eye she could see the demon flip her off, but she remained silent not the less.

Seras continued walking forward till she stood in front of Alucard. Sir Integra's eyes grew wide at the sight of Seras; ragged and blood spattered clothing, bare feet and bloodied hair. However Seras's eyes did not stray from Alucard's. He regarded her with harsh eyes as he too took in her appearance and attitude. Never had Seras seemed so…eerily calm and collected before. This was not the same Draculina.

'Such dead eyes….no…not dead. Her eyes….they are wise now', Walter thought to himself. He too had grown quite attached to the young vampire with time. He enjoyed a jest at her expense here and there, but he always thought she had a good heart. 'Too good of a heart for this type of world', he used to think often. But now, the Seras that stood before them was wise; battle hardened. Her eyes shown a deep wisdom and an almost….tortured madness barely contained.

Seras took a knee in front of Alucard, placing a single fist on the ground with head bowed.

"My Master." Her voice was flat and even. Alucard raised a single eyebrow. This was definitely not the same Draculina.

"Come Police Girl", was al he said. With that, Seras rose once again face still flat and stoic. "Your orders Master?" Alucard directed his question over his shoulder to Sir Integra.

She wasn't too sure what exactly had happened, but deep down, she know the Seras Victoria from before was dead. "Enough of this. Take me back to headquarters. We will regroup there and I expect a full report Seras." Seras gave a small nod in acknowledgement.

****Some time later that evening****

After returning the Hellsing mansion, Seras was given time to shower and clean herself. Almost mechanically, Seras clothed herself in the uniform she had come to wear over the past few years. Her demon inside grew restless as she watched Seras dress herself in the mirror.

'I hate this uniform. I don't know how you can stand this', her demon sneered at the uniform as Seras dressed herself.

'I simply do what I am told', was Sera's flat reply to which the demon rolled her eyes.

'Yes, like a loyal pet. A little kitten who follows the string which the drag across the ground.'

'I do what my MASTER commands! Even YOU know you cannot fight it!' Seras shouted in her head. The demon's eyes flicked to Seras's in the mirror.

'Is that so? Then tell me Seras, what would you do if you were free to do what you pleased?' the demon's tongue hissed over the S's as she spoke. Seras buttoned the last button and let her hands fall to her side as she regarded herself in the mirror. She could see the demon as her reflection, her eyes glinting like a knife.

'I would leave', was Sera's only reply before she stepped out the door and headed to Sir Integra's office.

****At Sir Integra's Office****

Seras knocked three times as was her custom.

"Enter", Integra's voice commanded. Opening the door Seras walked straight to Integra's desk to stand in front of it. Integra sat with her back turned, the cigar in her mouth creating a small smoke cloud about her.

"Tell me what happened Seras." Her voice was firm, but it twinged as she spoke the draculina's name.

"The Major is dead Sir", Sears spoke. A moment of silence passed.

"Do you mean to tell me nothing else happened?" Integra grew slightly irritated.

"Nothing else that transpired is of importance Sir. The Major has died. Millennium, however, is still a threat." Integra turned to finally face the vampire. Seras regarded the Hellsing leader with a blank expression.

'She almost has the same look as that Captain from Millennium', Integra thought to herself.

"What else transpired in that blimp Seras?" Integra commanded. Sera's demon twitched inside her head.

"I was held captive. I managed to escape, ending the Major's life in the process along with his ghouls before meeting up with you. Sir", Seras bit out. She could feel the demon stir inside her.

Integra regarded the vampire in silence for a few moments before finally speaking, "You will prepare yourself for your next mission. You will depart in two weeks' time. There will be material for you to study upon waiting with Walter. You will be going after the remaining members of Millennium. Search and destroy Seras Victoria. That is an order. You are dismissed."

With that Seras turned and exited Sir Integra's office and made her way to Walter, all they while her inner demon fumed.

****Back with Sir Integra****

"Do you really think she can handle this? So soon?" Integra questioned. Alucard drifted through the wall and materialized in front of Integra.

"Of course. She is my fledgling after all," Alucard smirked. This would honestly give him a good opportunity to observe his little draculina. Seras Victoria had definitely changed and Alucard was increasingly intrigued.

****In Seras's Room****

Seras sat in a chair in the corner of her room, slowly reading over the material provided to her by Walter. He had been kind enough not to probe or ask questions when she had arrived. He simple stated he was pleased she was back and handed her the file. Direct and straight to the point was always Walter's way. Seras flipped the page as she felt her Master enter her room.

"You have changed Police Girl", Alucard quipped as he stood in the doorway. His cold eyes scanned his servant as she finished the line she had been reading, placing the file on the desk and coming to stand a short distance away from him. Her eyes, once the windows into her thoughts, portrayed no emotion; her gaze was now flat and calculating.

"Tell me, did the Major break you Police Girl?" Alucard crossed his arms over his chest, a small grin playing at his face.

"No Master", was her simple reply.

"Did he drive you mad? Insane Police Girl?"

"No Master."

"Really now? Then do tell. From where does this change in you stem Police Girl? What exactly did the Major do to you?" Alucard was surprised to say the least. He could hear nothing from her mind. Not a single thought, not even a whisper. Silent as the grave was Seras's mind. She regarded him for a brief moment before answering.

"He opened my eyes, Master."

"Opened your eyes to what?" Alucard was not expecting such an answer from the one clumsy Police Girl. He had been expecting her to burst into tears. To cry and snivel and ask him why he had not come. But she did none of these things. He didn't even feel anger or resentment from her. In fact, he felt no emotion at all from her.

"He opened my eyes to the cruelty of the world Master."

"And your death did not Police Girl?" Alucard quirked an eyebrow in surprise.

"My death was a trivial matter if anything Master. The Major showed me the world is a cruel place that will devour any innocence it finds. I am not broken Master. I have simply been awakened." Seras's voice did not tremble as she spoke.

"Tell me Seras Victoria, what did the Major do to you, to enlighten you so?" Alucard watched as her gaze never left his own. A moment passed before brief Seras allowed images to flutter across her mind. Short moments was all Alucard saw. Her screams of agony. The buckets full of her small appendages. The sound her eyes made as they squished into her skull. The Major's death. Her anger.

Alucard was almost stunned. Never had he thought that this small frail woman before him, this once infuriating and clumsy girl who he doubted constantly, would become this strong after such events. When he first realized he could hear nothing from her mind, he had thought she had been driven mad by the Major. That she had broken and splintered under the Major's onslaught. He had no way of knowing what the Major would do to her, but he knew that it wouldn't be pretty.

Yet her she was. His once little Police Girl had burned and most certainly crashed but she had risen victorious. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Before him, finally, a true vampire stood. Seras Victoria was almost like a powder keg next to an open flame. Underneath her calm exterior, there was a feral and wild creature rattling its cage. And she was angry. Alucard could hardly keep the grin from forming on his face. Seras Victoria was finally ready.
