It was already day time and Integra was reading the report Alucard gave her. As she continues reading she hears the door open and she looked up slightly seeing Walter then she turned her gaze back to the report. "How is the police girl doing Walter?" Integra asked as she continued reading. "Actually quite well, she woke up, still a little shaken up. She went back to sleep after a while" Walter said. "She hasn't been drinking blood again?" she asked as she put the report down.
"Actually she drank quite a good amount yesterday Sir Integra." He stated. "Then why else would a vampire faint?" Integra sighed feeling annoyed at the thought. "I don't know why, but Miss Victoria was rambling about a voice she heard." Walter said as he paced back and forth. "Rambling about a voice?" Integra asked looking at him. She didn't feel so surprised, since all that Seras does is silly rambling. "She was rambling about a voice of a young woman, singing as if she was in the dungeon with Seras." Walter said, as he started feeling uneasy. Integra looked at him in shock. "Did she sense anyone there with her?" Integra asked. "She sensed nobody in the grounds." He said as he slowly come to a stop and looks at her. "Do you think it has something to do with that mysterious room Alucard found?" Integra asked him feeling uneasy. "I don't know. We have to speak to Alucard about it." Walter suggested as Integra nods slightly.
Later on that day the recruits were being evacuated from the grounds. For their safety Integra sent out an order for high class soldiers to escort them to the Academy. So everyone was brought to these school buses. Rosaline sat in the back with Julie and Ariel. "What do you think that's going on?" Rosaline asked as the bus started. "I heard that Seras collapsed last night." Julie said as she leaned back against her seat. "Do you think she's alright?" Ariel asked as she looked down in worry. "Most likely she is, after all she isn't that weak." Rosaline said as she went through her small backpack. "But don't you think it's odd for a vampire to faint like that, for no apparent reason at all? "Julie said as she opened the lid of her bottle of water, taking sips of it. "It's very odd indeed." Ariel added. Rosaline took out a small bag filled of chocolate chip cookies that Walter gave her in the morning, she opens it and hands one to Ariel and Julie. "Thank you." They said in unison and they both start taking small bites off the cookie. "I hope nothing goes wrong." Rosaline said as she took a bite of the cookie.
It's already night time and Alucard walks out of the shadows of his master's office. "Integra I heard you needed me?" he said as he took off his hat. "Yes, I need you to check out that room that you found the other night." She said as she kept staring outside of the window. "By checking it you mean, destroying what's inside of it?" Alucard said as he smirked. "Not exactly, we need to find out what is inside, if it's another vampire like you, well we must have it in our custody." Integra said as she sigh feeling annoyed. "Why keep it in our custody?" Alucard looked at her feeling puzzled at this order. "Her majesty wants to see the creature herself before anything." She said with a slight sigh and Alucard seemed amused with the request.
` "Very well then master, I will try to bring this creature back in one piece" Alucard said as he vanished into the shadows. Integra watched then sighed slightly. Ever since the news of the mysterious door, she has been feeling very uneasy. She hasn't been able to take her mind off of it; just the mere thought has been haunting her. Is it a new corpse to the murders, or is it another "True Vampire" like Alucard. Integra turned around and grabbed the glass of scotch she had on her desk and she began taking slight sips of it.
After an hour or 2, Alucard went to the warehouse with a small squad of men. "What's your orders now sir?" One of the soldiers asked Alucard as he looked around. "All of you go recon the outside this place and make sure that there are no ghouls lurking about. Once you all are done go check out the inside of this building." Alucard said as he walked towards the direction of the door he found the other night.
As Alucard walked towards the door he examines the symbols covering the door. "Master!" He looked back as he noticed the police girl running towards him. "I see someone is feeling better" He said as he looked back to the door. "So this is it?" Seras asked. "Yes, it is" he said as he started opening slightly the broken down door. Everything was silent, only the noise of the door. As Alucard and Seras walked in the room they see the walls are stained with blood and there are several old corpses in the room. Some are missing a few limbs, others completely drained from their blood.
Seras looked at Alucard in worry; she started getting a weird feeling about the room. As if something was here but she couldn't think of what would be here in the room. Alucard then noticed an old Victorian like bath tub in the corner of the room. Seras walked towards it and sees it's filled with blood; she then covers her nose feeling a little nauseous with all the smell of blood, rotten blood all around. A stench not all vampires can admire. "Master, do you think this have been here for some time?" Seras asked as she backed away then she turns around seeing a corpse of a young girl on the ground in front of alucard. "Oh my…" Seras whispered feeling sad. The girl looked like she was 17, she had long midnight black hair, yet she looked quite small, around 5' feet or so. The young girl still had her eyes closed, she looked like a doll, yet she was wearing ripped up white dress covered in blood stains and she was tied up in thorn shackles.
Suddenly the voice from the night before echoed through the room. The voice was singing the haunting lullaby from before, softly yet beautifully. Alucard stepped back slightly and Seras placed her hand on her forehead feeling dizzy and felt like she was losing her strength. "Master who's voice is it…?" Seras asked in a weak tone. Alucard looks at the body of the girl and grins. "What a beautiful voice you have my dear." He said in a demented tone as he kneeled down next to the body.
Then Seras notices that the girl opened her eyes. The voice stopped, and then the girl sat up lightly, revealing she had blood red eyes and she was wearing a blessed chain collar that was burning her neck. "You did all of this my dear?" Alucard asked as he broke the chains from her ankles. The girl just shook her head; her expression seemed weak and emotionless. "Are you a newly changed vampire?" Seras asked out of curiosity. "N-No… I am not…" she struggled to reply to Seras. Alucard later proceeded on breaking the ones on her wrists laughing slightly at the question that was given. "Who has kept you here?" Seras proceeded in asking ignoring her Master's laughter. "I don't know… Some human I guess…" she said gently as Alucard grabbed her hand.
"I see you are the one those humans speak off a lot, you have way to many names my count." She said smirking lightly as Alucard chuckles. He helps her up carefully balancing her. "Never thought I would see you again…" Alucard said softly as Seras looks at him puzzled. "Oh count I refuse to die out that quickly." The girl said while smiling bravely. "Master, how do you know each other?"Seras asked shyly feeling confused. "Police girl, meet Roxana, an old acquaintance of mines from many centuries back." Alucard said as Roxana looked at the Police girl tilting her head. Seras looked at the girl surprised that she looked so young, even though she is a vampire of course, but she looked so youthful and looked a lot like a doll. The police girl couldn't help but feel slightly sad, maybe she was turned into a vampire while she was at a young age, Seras thought to herself.
"So you are the girl I have been hearing about a lot." Roxana said softly while Alucard and Seras lead her out of the room. "What do you mean by that miss?" Seras said while walking next to her. "Those humans that captured me, they would spoke of Hellsing a lot none stop, especially Hellsing's pets and how talented they were." Roxana said while looking forward, she was clinging to Alucard's arm for balance. Alucard looked and laughed at hearing that the humans that took her were speaking about Hellsing in such manner. "Why did they capture you?" Seras asked out of curiosity. As they reached the main room of the warehouse they see some of the Hellsing agents bring children outside from the basement. "Those humans wanted me to turn those children to monsters like me." Roxana looked down as one of the children looked to her direction, it was a girl around the age of 17, she had dark skin and black raven like hair. She seemed to be staring at Roxana as she was leaded out of that dreadful place.
Once they reached the manner Seras and Walter helped Roxana get cleaned up. After awhile Alucard, Walter, and Seras brought Roxana to Integra's office. Seras walked outside with Walter, as Integra sat down. "Now explain to me, why were you there?" Integra glared at Roxana as Alucard helped her sit down. "I was captured by a cult; they wanted me to transform children to monsters." Roxana said gently while looking down at her hands. "How can a "real" vampire be captured so easily by a cult?" Integra scoffed while crossing her arms. "I..." Roxana looked at Integra then looked away. "Tell me monster." Integra said while getting up. "I was lured by a memory; I was foolish for a moment and let my guard down. If you think I killed those children that were thrown away. I didn't do such horrible thing!" Roxana yelled out while glaring at Integra. "Then explain why they had bite marks!" Integra yelled back. "Because I wasn't the only vampire there that was held captive!" Roxana yelled as she got up. "What happen to the other one? What was its name?" Integra notice Roxana was to the brink of tears.
"His name was Claudiu…" Roxana covered her face. "Who was he? What happen?" Integra urged her to speak. "He was my brother, they killed him, and those damn humans killed him!" Roxana began yelling, crying her heart out. Alucard looked at her; he seemed very surprise to see her cry. She wasn't the type that is shattered so easily. The only thing Alucard saw in her eyes were pain and suffering, and he could sense the hatred flowing through her. "They made my brother drink those children's blood and to try to transform them, he refused but they threaten to destroy me. He didn't want to hurt those children, he never wanted to harm them what so ever. He and I even tried to help them, until they were locked up in the basement." Roxana started explaining what had happen there.
"I am deeply sorry for your loss; it must have been terrible watching your brother die." Integra said in a soft tone. This was the first time she has ever seen a vampire show so much emotion, and mourning to so many. "Alucard bring her to her new room. Later on I shall speak with you Roxana about the other events that had occurred in that warehouse, but right now you need some rest to go off now." Integra spoke again in a strong tone as she turned around.
Alucard leads Roxana to upstairs, watching her carefully; to make sure she doesn't fall. They both are walking down the hall, Roxana clinging onto Alucard's arm again to keep her balance. Both was silent until they reached the last door in the hall way. Alucard opens it and she begins walking in then she turns around and looks up at Alucard. "I am guessing the memory that they used to lure you, was the memory of Claudiu." Alucard stated as he stared at her. "They used a man that looked exactly like my brother." She said softly as Alucard moved closer. "They used the memories to recreate your own brother, and especially to recreate that night. Didn't they?" Alucard asked as she nodded. She turned around not facing him. "They did… even the way he did, every detail that had happen that specific night, they used it all." She said while growling lightly her fangs are showing slightly. She felt sick to the stomach to even think or even imagine why a person would do that to her and she felt guilty that they raised that man to think he was her brother.
Then she felt Alucard hugged her from behind, she simply just closed her eyes. She was trying to remember when the last time he was like this towards her. In the old times when they were together Alucard always held her, always showed a side of compassion no one never really seen before.
"Now you must rest princess, for tomorrow you have a long night ahead of you." Alucard said in a soft tone as he hugged her tightly. She nodded and he slowly let go of her and he was walking towards the door. Roxana watched then she slowly looked down. "A-Alucard…" She muttered slightly and the count looked back at her while opening the door. "Yes?" Alucard asked her as he slowly closed the door again. "Stay… I-I won't be able to sleep alone…" she said while looking away, she felt embarrassed since she sounded like a child at that moment. Alucards chuckles lightly and pats her head gently. "Don't worry; I'll watch over you my princess." He said as he hugged her very tightly. "So no more tears…" he whispered in her ear.
