Seras sat down on the ground hugging her knees. "How could someone ever do that to a child…?" she asked herself that then looked down frowning. She was thinking about their parents, even though there was no information on the children. Seras just wanted to make sure that, in a way, the children are brought back to their parents. She didn't feel ready to even look at the new recruit's faces after knowing more the details of the case. Seras also had a feeling Integra wasn't going to be in the interview section. Even though Integra was a strong willed woman, filled with more determination than any other Hellsing, she is still human. Seras knows and even feels that Integra is suffering deep down inside as well.
Later on that day around 12 in the afternoon almost to 1, it was the interviews for the recruits to the hellsing training academy. Walter and Seras went to the ballroom to see many recruits, some from the ages of 16 to the ages of 20. Seras looked at Walter very much worried about all these kids wanting to give up their lives for the cause. Then Walter walked up to the center explain the rules that must be followed during the examinations. So after he explained, the recruits lined up and so on the interviews began.
Simple questions like, "why do you want to join the Hellsing Organization?" To, "How old are you really?" Many of the applicants were rejected because they were too young, for those who were too young could go to another country for a boarding school with medical help, to help them through the episodes of the incident that has scarred them. Turns out most of the trainees there were to mentally broken from the tragedy that they went too. So some was chosen to stay because they have shown so far they can handle being around a vampire. Others, well, didn't really make it after Walter checked up their background and medical records before interviewing them.
After a while Seras yelled out for the next one, and in shock she sees a young girl with long blonde hair and glasses on. The girl smiled sweetly to Seras as she sat down. "Good Evening to you miss" she said politely to Seras as she fixed the bottom of her dress. Seras still in shock remembered that was the young girl from an attack that had occurred few months ago "Young lady is your name Rosaline Turner?" Seras asked hoping it was really the girl. "Yes… You remembered me? "She said smiling happily. "Yes I do remember how I could forget you Rose."Seras said while smiling kindly to the girl. "I never got the chance to say thank you." Rose looked down shyly as Seras looked at her with a puzzled look. "You thank me? for what?" Seras asked laughing a slightly feeling a little dumb for asking. "You saved me and Julie. If it wasn't for you we would have been dead" Rose laughed lightly but smiles happily to the young vampire. Seras blushed slightly waving her hands. "N-No it's fine really! Always glad to help!" Seras exclaimed while turning a little red.
"Any who, let's get back to business. Shall we?" Seras said while smiling at the girl. Rosaline nodded as she said "Alright then." Seras picks up a clipboard with a free new paper and she took the pen in hand and begins to write down Rosaline's name and last name. "Let's start. Umm, how old are you now?" Seras asked her while getting ready to write. "I am 17 going on 18 next week." Rosaline stated. Seras smiled then asked "Why do you want to join our Organization?" Seras asked once she wrote down Rosaline's age. "I want to join, because I want to try my best and help the cause, and try to help people and keep them from getting hurt." Rosaline said, yet her tone sounded it like she was filled with determination. As if she was ready for anything that can come her way. "What position do you see yourself in?" Seras continued as she kept writing. "Maybe a field agent that deals with these creatures face to face or even those who help calm down the victims to the tragedy." She answered while clenching on the skirt of her dress slightly. "Alright, did you bring the medical records we have requested?" Seras asked as she placed the clipboard and pen to the table. Rosaline nodded and took out a folder, she hands it to Seras. "Ok now Miss Turner, I need you to wait in the other room please for further instructions. Rosaline gets up an walks towards the other examination room. Seras leans back closing her eyes slowly thinking about Rosaline and her friend Julie.
"Let me guess you got Miss Turner to interview? " Walter asked as he walks towards Seras. "Yes I did." Seras said while her eyes were still closed. "You know Julie is here to, right?" Walter said as he looked around. Seras' eyes opened quickly and looks at Walter in shock. "Really?!" she exclaimed, feeling dread pour into her. It was already bad enough one girl to be here but both of them. Why are they even here? She began thinking to herself. Wondering why would they want to endanger their lives even more than she could have liked. "Yes she came here with Miss Rosaline." Walter said as he broke through Seras' train of thought. Seras just looked down feeling slightly sad about all of this.
During the whole second examination, they were testing the one who were chosen in stamina and weapon prowess. So they brought them to the training grounds hidden in the grounds of HQ. Some were taken to the shooting range, others to the close range weaponry, most in close combat. Seras and Walter watched all of them closely as they went through many of the stages. Many of them did so perfectly you wouldn't even believe they are just teenagers. During some of the most difficult stages Seras was keeping a careful eye on Rosaline and Julie. She was dreading for their lives already when they haven't even been chosen yet. Maybe because of the cases that Seras and Alucard have been working with really has made her worried about them even more.
After sometime, Sir Integra walked towards the training grounds Alucard by her side. At the site of the trainees practicing Alucard started to grin, feeling pleased at the sight of humans preparing themselves, as if they were about to enter a battlefield. The determination just overflows from each one of these trainees. They weren't going to give up on becoming part of the Hellsing Organization.
Integra walked through the different trainees, even though most were quite talented. Some showed hesitation in their actions, which worried her, because she didn't want them to show hesitation. To become part of the Hellsing, one must be prepared to hold back emotion and follow orders no matter how much it would affect the person mentally.
Through the many hours of experimentation, one by one, each teen was brought to an office. They took a mental exam then from there Walter would make final decisions. Only 8 or 9 of them were able to enter. For the others, if they had the talent in some areas, in other areas they lacked. So for them not to be affected by this Walter told them to go back home and try to live a better life.
Later on after the results Seras brought the 9 who were chosen to the main headquarters again. She noticed that Rosaline and her friend Julie passed the examinations. She felt quite proud of both of them. As the new recruits walked around the main room Integra and Walter walked in, Integra looked around the room and noticed most of the recruits that were picked to stay were around their 20's already. So a sigh of relief came from the knight as she kept on looking through the small crowd of faces, until she reached the gazes of Rosaline and Julie, they were basically the only 17 year olds that passed with flying colors.
"When we will begin training?" one of the boys asked politely, breaking through Integra's train of thought. "Training will start tomorrow, all of you will be sent to a special Academy created for people like yourselves that have witnessed the creatures of the night at their moment of madness." Integra stated as all of them looked at one another some with determined looks others seemed like they were normal. "After graduation if you pass, you will be working with the field agents of this Organization." Integra said noticing the questioned look on Rosaline's face. All of them nodded in unison, Julie crossed her arms and looked at Rosaline in worry.
After all the explanations Integra gave about staying in the Academy and the conditions that must be kept during the time. She left the room leaving the recruits to speak amongst themselves. "Rose, are you sure you want to stay?" Julie said as she walked towards her. "Yes, I am sure. I'm just feeling slightly nervous about the whole changes that are going to happen." Rosaline said with a gentle smile. Julie laughed a little and hugged her tightly. "Don't worries we will be Flat mates, so we will be able to help each other when we have a problem in a class or something." Julie said with a warm smile. A girl slowly walks towards the two and pokes Rosaline's shoulder gently. Rosaline looks back seeing the girl, she had beautiful long brown hair up to her thighs, she had brown eyes and she was wearing a pink dress and glasses. "Ariel, you're here too!?" Julie and Rosaline said in unison out of the shock to see their friend here. "Yeah, is it that surprising?" Ariel said as she giggled. "Yes! What are you doing here?!" Rosaline exclaimed still puzzled about all of this. "My father actually works with one of the providers of this organization; his boss said it would be good for me to join for the main information unit." She explained. "Awesome, I guess the three friends are back together?" Julie said as she smiled. Rosaline clapped and grins, she was feeling even more determined now than ever. "We are going to be epic!" Rosaline yelled out as she jumped. The three girls began laughing and hugged each other tightly.
Seras watched the group and smiled, feeling relieved. She walked out of the room heading towards the stairs. As she reaches the stair she saw Walter walking by with papers in hand. "Hey Walter, what are you doing?" Seras asked as she noticed he seemed slightly upset. "Alucard found something odd in the old warehouses." He stated as he sighed slightly. "What is this odd thing?" Seras asked feeling a little puzzled about his reaction to this. "There is a room in the ware house, with seals written in blood. One of the seals matches with the one that Alucard has on his gloves." He said looking at Seras. "Really, Walter? This means…" Seras eyes widen in shock. "There is a slight chance that there was another vampire hidden there. Unless if he or she hasn't turned to dust already. Alucard said the seals have been tampered with. Most likely the vampire is still there, but Integra wants you and Alucard to check it out." Walter said. "I'll go to Master now to see what he is planning." She said as she rushed downstairs to the hallway.
"I wonder if that vampire is still alive." Seras said to herself as she reaches to Alucards room. She turned around quickly hearing a voice. A soft voice of a young girl floats through the air, a gentle lullaby in the distance but clearly heard. The police girl was alarmed at first but she began feeling dizzy as the lullaby continued. Seras tried walking towards the stairs where she came from, but suddenly she collapsed on the ground unconscious. Yet the lullaby continued ringing through the silence, but slowly disappeared into the deep silence of these shadowed hallways.
