Chapter Three: What's new kitty cat?

Seras POV

I had been kept at the Hellsing Manor for about a week now. The days seem to pass so fast for me now. So many changes in such a short space of time, I have to say I am confused. Everyone seems quite on edge here which I do not know if I will be able to get used to. As I had been given no orders and it was coming up to sunset I decided there was no time like the present to go and have a look around the manor. If I was to be living here I may as well get used to my surroundings.

As I walked down one of the many long corridors I took my time to look over the paintings that decorated the walls, the art work varied from classical paintings to family portraits and religious artwork. Looking over at one painting which looked older than many. It was a painting of a setting sun over a desert, I think it was the in the

Middle East, not that I would know that for sure. Looking over the painting I began to feel a twinge of sadness as I realized that I would never get to see another sunset again. Walter has already warned me about the consequences of going outside in the sunlight.

He seemed like nice enough man, he must have been approaching is seventies at least. He reminded me of one of my old teachers in school. He seemed like a kinder soul, unlike so many people that I had come across in my week spent here. My new Master scared me but he was my master, I could not explain the connection I had to my master it was something I had never felt before. I could not refuse any of his wishes and as scared of him as I was I would never wish to make him upset with me. Maybe that is just the inferiority complex rearing its ugly head again in death.

As I continued wandering down the corridors I was pulled from my thoughts by a door opening further down the corridor. A tall woman walked out reading off of a clipboard; she seemed to be deep in work marking off documents. I look a double glance at the woman as I realized she was in fact not walking at all. She was hovering a few inches off of the floor. A ghost? Are there ghosts here too!?

I let out a small squeak as the woman turned to face me. Now I could take a proper look at her it was clear whatever she was she was not human. She had a fitted black dress with long sleeves and a black lace chocker and black heels. Her golden eyes felt like they had pierced a whole through the middle of my eyes, her hair was dark and pulled back into a high ponytail with her long side fringe falling over her left eye. She was as pale as I was but I couldn't tell if she was a vampire or not. There was a strange vibe about the woman that unnerved me.

"You look lost kitten." The woman remarked as she moved closer to my body. Floating just in front of me she lowered herself onto the ground. She was tall for a female, towering at least two heads over me. My face was directly facing her breasts which made me blush and look up into her face. She looked over me and tilted her head to the side with an unnerving smirk.

"What is your name child?"

Avery POV

Floating along the corridors of the Hellsing Manor I continued filling in incident reports from the attack in Cheddar. It had been one week since the new pet had arrived at Hellsing and I had yet to meet her properly. I had been preoccupied with paperwork and arranging meetings for Sir Integra leaving me with no time for niceties.

As I made my way down the spiral staircase to the second floor, I could smell a new person on the other side of the door. She smelled sweet like oranges and popcorn. A fair amount nicer the scent of rotting flesh and metal that normally fills my nostrils as I walk around the building. I guess that is what you expect working with armed soldiers and blood suckers.

As I opened the door onto the second floor corridor, I tick off the last box on my itinerary. I turn to face the direction of the sweet smell. Standing a few metres down the corridor was the young blonde girl that Alucard had taken under his proverbial and literal wing. A small smile creeps across my face as I glide over to the young woman. She was short, very short in fact; I understand that I am tall creature but this girl could not have been more than five feet high!

"What is your name child?" As I look down at her I realize she is red in the face and she takes a long stride back and she scratches the back of her neck.

"Seras Victoria is my name ma'am." She replies shyly as she bows slightly and starts to play with her collar. Bless her she will be eaten alive in this place if she stays this nervous.

"No need for the ma'am, I have no high standing in this place. My name is Odette Avery. You are a cute young thing aren't you kitten." I purr out loud as I begin to circle the young woman.

"Umm…Kitten?"

"Yes, you look like the little ginger kitten." I giggle as I finish my rotation setting my feet down on the floor.

"They used to call me that in the police force…before well…before…" The young woman looked at her feet with a sigh and a frown. Alucard said that she had made the choice on her own. However, she does not look completely taken with her new form.

Bending over and taking hold of the young woman's chin I look deep into her red eyes before my own turn completely black and I delved into her unconscious mind and memories. After watching the events of last week pass through my mind I pulled back and my eyes returned to their golden colour. Stepping back I smile down sadly at the poor young girl. She was stood there slightly dazed as she got over the effects of my mind fuck.

"Before you was attacked by a gang of cannibalistic ghouls, nearly raped before being shot in the chest and having your blood sucked by our resident vampire?" I finish for her. She looked up at me surprised and confused as she nodded.

Seras POV

Woah, what was that? I am so sleepy and dizzy…my head. What did she just do? How did she know all of that? Did Master tell her? Did she read my mind? I think I need to sit down for a little bit.

"…Y-yes that's right but how did you…?" I manage to utter as I move and lean against the nearest wall. The next thing I knew a large red figure had fazed through the wall I was leaning on and stood in front of Miss Avery.

Alucard POV

"Fury, are you messing with my new fledgling?" I said as I fazed thought the corridor wall standing in front of the demon. As she looked up at me with that sadistic smirk of hers she takes a step back with a chuckle.

The young police girl had pushed herself off of the wall and moved behind me with a wide toothed grin. "Good evening Master!" She exclaimed as she avoided eye contact with the she demon. Avery had started writing on her clipboard again. I let out a deep cough as the she demon looked up fom her clipboard with a deadpan expression.

"Me? Mess? Never. The kitten looked a little lost and we ended up having a nice chat. Didn't we?"

"Y-yes. Well you went into my head didn't you…we didn't really talk….so…" My fledgling stuttered from behind me. The Fury raised an eyebrow. She looked quite amused at the sarcastic comment.

"Police Girl, go outside. The Hellsing officers want to begin your training."

The young girl did not need telling twice as she stood to attention and made a quick exit towards the stairs. I was starting to get annoyed with Avery's games. Yes, she is a demon and I understand that we like to fuck around with people on an almost constant basis but it is NOT ok for her to mess with new recruits that are under my control. She should know this.

"Fury, don't you start messing with my new fledgling. You do remember the rules of your contract here?" I spat at the demon woman. Her grin morphed into a dark glare as she bore sharp teeth and her eyes started to get a dark shadow forming around them.

"Oh fucking hell! Don't start Alucard, I am well aware of the rules." She growled.

Walter POV

There was an uneasy feeling on the second corridor this evening. Miss Victoria had just sprinted past me as I walked up the stairs. I sighed. If I was a betting man I would have been able to place a winning bet on what was happening further down the corridor. It was bad enough living with one moody vampire for the last fifty years, when Miss Avery moved onto the premises it was like placing two fighting dogs in a small room and shutting the door. The vampire and the fury worked well as a team but God Almighty did they hate each other at the same time. Alucard had made it clear over the years his feelings towards the fury and to be polite he would not piss on her if she was on fire, which is ironic really as she is on fire most of the time. Miss Avery on the other hand found Alucard to be a stuck up miserable old vampire and they had never seen eye to eye on anything more than killing and their sadistic tendencies.

As I walk further down the corridor I notice the two demons in question in a standoff in the middle of the corridor. I sigh deeply as I walk over to the pair. Who refused to look at me until I spoke.

"Good evening Alucard, Miss Avery…is there a problem here?" If the sarcasm was anything thicker I would be able to paint with it. Miss Avery was the first one to look away from the demon. Her black shadowed eyes and teeth returned back to their human form. With a girlish smile she turned to me.

"No Walter, we just have one particularly touchy vampire today." She chirped happily signalling to the vampire.

"Fuck you Fury" Alucard spat moving towards the female and grabbing hold of her shoulder. Avery's eyes flashed back to black and her teeth sharpened as she hissed back at the demon and dug her nails into his wrist.

Taking control of the situation before it escalates, I move between the pair. "Ok, Alucard do you not have a mission to be taking care of? Shall we go before we say things we shall regret?" I say as I motion for him to move away.

"Prick Vampire!"

"Vapid Whore!"

"Yes, just like that! Miss Avery would you care to escort me to the living room. Sir Integra is busy in the office and wants to be left in peace for the evening and we still have tasks to do." I took hold of the females arm and moved her away from the seething vampire. As he stormed off I let out a long sigh and turned back to the female who had returned to her human form.

"Why can't you both just play nicely?"
