"Uncle Walter." Mana said as she knocked on the door to the study.
"Come in." Walter's voice was light but deep. Mana opened the door and quickly walked over to him, Walter looked up from the papers that were laid neatly on his desk.
"What is wrong?" Walter asked confused at Mana's quick entrance. Mana put her list of tasks on the desk and pointed at the last one on her list, 'Give Alucard and Seras dinner'
"Oh…that." Walter replied as he sighed with relief.
"H-How am I supposed to do this?" Mana stuttered, Walter chuckled at her stuttering, knowing that she felt nervous about that specific task.
"It's quite simple. There are blood pouches in the fridge." Walter replied simply. Mana felt her face heat up knowing that she was thinking something completely different.
"O-Oh…" Mana replied, stuttering again.
"Do make sure you introduce yourself properly to the guardsmen." Walter said returning to his work. Mana bowed and quickly walked out closing the door behind her. She sighed and quickly walked away to complete her tasks.
A few minutes later Mana was walking down the dimly lit hallway of the basement with two pails of ice and blood pouches in them.
"Why am I so nervous about this?" Mana said quietly to herself.
There's always a first time for everything….
Mana instantly stopped walking and looked over her shoulder into the dim lit hallway behind her. She narrowed her eyes and continued walking to Seras' room.
"Victoria sa-…Miss Victoria." Mana said catching herself from reverting back to her native language.
"Y-Yes?" Seras said from her room.
"May I come in?" Mana asked
"Y-Yes of course!" Seras stammered. Mana smiled to herself and slowly opened the door. Seras was sitting on her bed in her uniform.
"Hello Mana." Seras said with a nervous smile.
"Hello." Mana replied as she sat one of the pails on the table in the middle of the room.
"Is that…what I think it is?" Seras asked as she eyed the pail, her pupils dilating. Mana noticed the subtle change in Seras and hesitated.
"…Your dinner." Mana answered unsure, but kept her coolness.
"No! I don't want it." Seras half yelled as she abruptly stood up causing Mana to take a step back.
"A-ah! I'm sorry I didn't—" Seras started realizing what she did.
"I deeply apologize Miss Victoria." Mana quickly said as she grabbed the pail and left the room closing the door behind her.
"Crap…he's gonna be pissed…" Seras whined and silently cursed at herself.
Mana sighed quietly before she knocked on Alucard's door. Just as she was going to knock the door opened to reveal Alucard leaning back in his chair.
"*Ano…" Mana started as she stood in the door way.
"Come in." Alucard said as he turned his attention to the young woman.
"Ok…*ganbaru…" Mana thought to herself as she walked in, the door closed behind her. Mana ignored the door and set the other pail on the table in front of him.
"Your Dinner Sir." Mana said and bowed.
Alucard smirked as he looked at her through his orange tinted glasses.
"Why Thank you." Alucard replied, his voice deep.
"You are most welcome." Mana replied as she straightened herself. She found herself becoming nervous knowing that he was looking at her through his glasses.
"Are you going to join me?" Alucard asked
"*N-Nani?" Mana stuttered. Alucard quirked an eyebrow, his smirk appearing on his lips again.
"Um…I mean what?" Mana corrected herself. She blushed from embarrassment, Alucard continued to watch her in amusement. He then nodded to the pail in her arms.
"Oh. This was for Miss Victoria…but she didn't want it." Mana replied trying to regain her cool.
"Ah. She still refuses to eat…" Alucard said as he grabbed the blood pouch and stuck a straw in it, he began to drink. Mana watched as he drained the pouch, Alucard watched her as she watched him.
"S-She won't eat?" Mana asked as she looked away from Alucard as he licked his lips.
"No." Alucard replied with distaste as he placed the empty pouch back into the pail.
"Is it because…" Mana trailed off knowing that she shouldn't ask.
"Curious are we little scientist?" Alucard asked as he stood up. Mana looked up at him as he approached her.
"She doesn't want to accept what she is now. The more she refuses the weaker she'll become." Alucard replied. Mana remained silent and began to ponder on the new information she received. Alucard smirked as he reached for the pail in her arms.
"What a lovely place for this to be." Alucard chuckled as grabbed the blood pouch from the pail. Mana stepped back blushing. She had her arms wrapped around the bucket, placing it underneath her breast.
"Tell the police girl if she doesn't start feeding She'll be consumed by hunger…and will be punished for letting herself get into that state." Alucard said as he dropped the now empty pouch into the pail on the table.
"Yes Sir." Mana replied as she looked at him. Alucard turned away from Mana to grab his trench coat
Mana looked over Alucard, taking in his appearance. He wasn't wearing his red trench coat or his red hat, he was just wearing a white button up shirt with a red tie a black vest, and red trousers. She considered asking why was he dressed so nicely, but knew it wasn't her place to ask questions regarding him, it probably wasn't a good idea either.
"Like what you see?" Alucard asked as he looked over his shoulder at her while putting on his trench coat.
"a-ah! *S-Sumimasen! Er…Excuse me!" Mana squeaked quickly grabbing the pail on the table and rushed out of the room closing the door behind her. Alucard chuckled.
"You're so amusing little scientist…" Alucard smirked.
It was a little after midnight before Mana was able to return to her room, she opened walked into to her room and closed the door behind her. She introduced herself as she was told and watched the guards train and relax during their breaks. She recorded all the data she was ask to find, and while there she noticed one guardsman had the most peculiar eyes, they were golden. Mana shrugged it off as she took off her shoes and sat them aside.
"*tadaima…" Mana said and giggled a bit. She flopped on her bed and sighed.
"Today wasn't so bad…" She said out loud. She remained in her bed closing her eyes and sighed again.
"Night routine." She thought to herself as she got out of bed and headed towards her bathroom.
20 minutes later Mana was sitting in the middle of her room facing the balcony in her PJs, a large T-shirt. She sat cross legged on the floor, and exhaled then inhaled and again. She repeated the process for a few moments before slowly opening her eyes. She looked out the balcony doors and saw a figure standing in front of them. Mana blinked to make sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her, the figure was gone. Mana stayed in her sitting position listening for noises in her surroundings, she heard nothing except for crickets and a few guards on break outside in the front of the manor. Mana looked around her room before moving, she stood and slowly got into bed.
"*nanimonaideshou…" Mana said to herself as she snuggled into her blankets. As she was drifting of to sleep she heard his voice once more.
"sleep tight… little scientist…"
