"Why so scared Little Angel of Death?" Alucard's deep voice echoed in her ears. Mana felt herself calm down after she realized who captured her off guard.

"Alucard…" Mana sighed in relief.

A smirk appeared on Alucard's lips as he dipped his head into the crook of her neck and inhaled deeply; Mana tensed feeling the tip of his nose brush against her neck.

"The smell of fear and excitement is all over you…it suits you," Alucard whispered.

"W-What?" Mana stammered.

Alucard sighed with displeasure and abandoned her hands letting her feet touch the ground. He stepped back to look at the somewhat shaken Mana noticing dried blood spatter on her, She quickly fixed her clothing to the best of her ability and glanced at Alucard.

"What has happened on the upper floors?" Alucard asked his voice void of emotion.

"Majority of all Hellsing employees have been…eaten or killed," Mana replied cautiously feeling the air surrounding them become tense. Alucard looked towards the foyer and remained silent. Mana looked at Alucard as he continued to look towards the foyer, causing Mana to hesitate but continued to update him on the status of the Hellsing Manor.

"Sir Integra—"

"I know. She's fine," Alucard replied cutting her off. Mana looked at him puzzled as he started to disappear into the darkness of the basement.

"Where are you going?" Mana walked towards the entrance of the basement and stopped, feeling the air of the basement had completely changed from dangerous to almost hollow. Alucard's gloved hand reached from the darkness grasping her face.

"Be careful…I might eat you up in this state of mind," Alucard's voice sounded through Mana's head.

She quickly stepped back heeding his advice and shivered. She heard him chuckle, and watched as his hand disappeared back into the darkness. Mana stood looking into the darkness for a few more moments, confused and curious, before heading back to the foyer.

As Mana walked into the foyer the events that recently took place rampaged over her mind. The ghouls eating a severed arm of an employee, the twisted faces of the ghouls as they attacked. She pushed the images from her mind as she stopped and looked at the pile of dead bodies that Cain and Dimitri pushed to the side of the foyer to make room. She then turned her attention to all of the damage the attack caused. Mana glanced at Cain and Dimitri at the cracked front door to the manor.

"This way Sir," Cain and Dimitri were ushering the members of the 12 out of the manor and into their respective transportation.

"Mana,"

Mana turned to see Integra standing on the stairs, she quickly walked over to her and bowed.

"Yes Integra?" Mana asked noticing the distance look in her eyes.

"Are these the only two left?"

"Yes,"

"Please…inform them what happened…and talk to Walter after you rest,"

"Alright, but I am well,"

"No…make sure you rest." Integra stated firmly and began to walk slowly up the stairs. Mana watched her disappear to the right wing of the Manor before turning her attention to Cain and Dimitri who were looking at the dead bodies of their former coworkers and friends. The two men looked grim at the bodies closing their eyes in a quiet prayer.

"This is horrible…" Cain almost whispered. Dimitri remained silent and looked at Mana by the stairs. Mana sighed and walked towards them.

"Mana," The two men started.

"We were attacked, by who is undetermined and…you two are the only two left from the original guardsmen," Mana stated.

"Everyone is gone?" Cain asked.

"Yes."

Dimitri pinched the bridge of his nose as he received the information on what had happened. Cain clenched his fists in anger but then realized it could have been him and Dimitri who could have died a painful death, and would have been a body in the pile they created before them.

"What do we do now?" Cain asked.

Mana looked at the two men then around the foyer, she crossed her arms and sighed. She knew what her tasks were, but intended to clear the foyer of the bodies before morning. She couldn't leave the bodies here, not the ones she killed, she knew it was proper to at least give them some type of burial or burning, at least the ones that were still whole. Mana nodded to herself and turned her attention to the two men.

"We clean up of course," Mana replied with a weak sheepish smile. Cain and Dimitri glanced at each other and sighed.

"I'll help you with the clean up," Sera's meek voice echoed from the top of the stairs.

"Thanks…we'll need the help." Mana replied as she looked at Seras, Cain and Dimitri waited for Mana to give them directions to start the clean up.

"We need to get these bodies out of the manor before morning," Mana started.

"It's 11:30pm" Cain said as he looked at his watch.

"Seras you have 6 hours. Let's start,"

"It's the afternoon already," Mana said weakly as leaned on the stairs in the left wing of the Manor.

Cain, Dimitri, Seras and Mana continued to clean until the sun rose. Seras had to leave before the sun rose, and Walter escorted Cain and Dimitri to the guard's house outside to clean leaving Mana by herself. Mana sighed heavily as she undid her tie and unbuttoned her vest. She wiped the sweat beads that were forming on her forehead with the back of her hand and prepared herself for more cleaning.

"Mana you're still awake?" Mana snapped her head in the direction Integra's voice came from.

"Uh—y-yes," Mana stumbled over her words. Integra continued to look sternly at her causing Mana to gulp and attempt to fix her clothing.

"Go rest. Walter can handle the rest,"

"I just need to clean the walls down the hall way a-are y-you sure?"

"You're questioning me?"

"No. Excuse me," Mana replied and bowed.

"Go rest," Integra stated firmly as she walked pass Mana. Mana bowed and sluggishly walked towards her room, thankful that Integra had to reprimand her for staying up.

Mana sluggishly opened her door, kicking off her shoes as she walked in and closing her door behind her. She instantly began to strip from her ghoul blood stained clothing not caring where she threw the clothing as she made her way to the bathroom. She quickly turned on the hot water and jumped in letting the water drench her. The water streamed from the showerhead steam billowing from the heat of the water as Mana continued to let drench her.

"ah! Itai!" Mana squeaked and quickly stepped from underneath the showerhead and turned on the cold water. She looked sourly at the showerhead and then closed her eyes inhaling deeply and exhaled slowly.

The events that happened the previous night began to rampage through her mind again, the intense feeling of fear when she approached the basement door, and lastly Alucard's seemingly wild demeanor and his unsettling warning. Mana sighed as she placed her hand under the warm water.

"Nemui…"

Mana reached for her soaps and shampoos and began to clean herself from the goo of the ghouls.

Moments later Mana walked from her bathroom dressed in a large T-shirt, she made her way to her bed and collapsed. In seconds she was asleep. Hours later Mana woke up panting in a cold sweat. She quickly looked around as if she was looking for someone to be in her room, there was nothing. Feeling calm Mana fell back into her bed, sighing. She sighed heavily and began to dose off seconds later she was forced awake again.

"You seemed disturbed little scientist," Alucard's voice infiltrated her mind, startling her. She quickly sat up and looked around.

"Where are you?" Mana asked out loud her voice light with sleep.

"I am around…"

"Stay out of my dreams," Mana said firmly as her eyes scanned her room in the darkness. Alucard's deep chuckled filled her mind as she focused on the French doors to her balcony.

"What fun is that hm?"

" I don't care. Go find your twisted fun somewhere else," Mana's eyes narrowed as she spotted the man who infiltrated her dream standing at the end of her bed. She quickly wiped her eyes and continued to glare at Alucard at the end of her bed. Alucard said nothing as he looked down at Mana, Mana held her ground and stared back at him. Alucard's eyes began to travel from her eyes, and slowly down her neck. Mana sensing his wondering eyes covered herself with the sheet on her bed causing to Alucard snicker.

"What are you doing in here…I thought—" Mana started but noticed Alucard stepped forward beginning her wild emotional haze. Mana gripped her sheet trying to keep herself calm in front of Alucard.

"You thought vampires that aren't invited in can't enter a room or place hm?" Alucard stated. Mana remained silent as Alucard took other step towards her .

"It is true in some cases…but your dream allowed me in here,"

"You twisted my dream intentionally knowing what would happen,"

"Perhaps…perhaps not,"

Mana frowned feeling her irritation rise as Alucard looked stoically at her. Mana felt him prying at her mind again as he looked at her.

"What do you want from me?" Mana asked trying to keep her irritation within her reign.

"Everything"

"What—" Mana started but was cut off by Alucard appearing in front of her and grabbing her chin, Mana yelped in surprise.

"The way you guard yourself makes me think you are hiding something…I will find out whether you like or not," Alucard whispered as he ran his gloved thumb over her lips.

"L-let go of me," Mana stammered, Alucard's crimson eyes narrowed as his hand slid from her chin to her neck, rubbing his thumb along her jugular vein. Mana tensed feeling the air around Alucard become more dangerous. Knowing the situation could turn sour at any moment Mana knew she had to act.

"Your scent is driving me…insane…"

Mana quickly reached under her pillow and threw a small blade at the Nosferatu, he easily dodged the blade letting it fly past his face and lodged itself in the wall behind him. His crimson eyes remained focused on her cobalt blue eyes, he slowly began to apply pressure on to her jugular vein.

"If you waver for just a second…I will devour you whole," Alucard stepped back and disappeared into the shadows, leaving Mana confused and speechless.

She looked at the spot where he once stood and absentmindedly touched her neck. Unsure of what he meant by his statement Mana cautiously stood from her bed and walked over to the knife that was lodged in her wall. Pulling it from the wall she walked back to her bed and resettled herself , laying comfortably back into her pillows and covering herself. She closed her eyes sighing heavily as she tried to push Alucard's statement from her mind. She knew that she had to keep her guard up not only against Alucard but also because of the mindless slaughtering she would have to do to protect Integra, she couldn't break down in front of Integra or her uncle. It would shame her family's name.

Mana sighed again placing an arm over her eyes and attempted to let sleep take her.

"Daijyoubu…" Mana muttered before she let sleep take her once again.

A/N: Here's some creepy Alucard for you :D

Daijyoubu = It's alright.

Itai = Painful.
