Conclusion: Transition

A few nights had passed since Seras joined the undead. As Integra had ordered, Seras retook her station in active service the night after she was turned. Though that night and the next few nights that followed were not easy for her. The comrades who had once looked upon her fondly now stared at her with a mix of fear and revulsion. Even Ferguson regarded her with an air of apprehension though not as strongly as the soldiers. Part of her could understand their reaction, but part of her felt frustrated. She was still the same Seras Victoria that had joined Hellsing. But she also had to realize she wasn't the same anymore. She was a vampire now. Perhaps her being a vampire wasn't the only thing that scared the soldiers. They knew full well that she was Alucard's fledgling. Perhaps they feared his wrath more than they did Seras herself. He didn't plan to coddle her against their reactions. She would have to learn to deal with that on her own. But if any of them dared touch her in any way he considered inappropriate the retribution visited upon them would not be pretty. He wouldn't be allowed to kill them, but he could very well make them wish they were dead.

Seras walked into the shooting range. The soldiers saw her enter the room. They regarded her with a mix of fear and caution. She sighed to herself as she entered the room. She tried to look past the stern glares as she walked to her locker.

"Hey you! Girl!" A voice shouted. Seras turned around to find a man staring at her rather harshly. She didn't recognize him.

"Just who are you to be adressing me in such a manner? Where is Captain Garreth?" Seras demanded.

"You're one to talk. You address your superior in such a rude fashion. And if you must know Garreth is recovering from a broken leg. I'm Captain Stedlum, and I'm in charge here now. And if you know what's good for you you'll learn to treat me with a little respect." Stedlum answered sternly.

"What's good for me? Are you threatening me when you're the one who so improperly called me out of my station?" Seras asked. She fluttered her eyes for a moment sensing she was no longer the only vampire in the room. She could feel the eyes of her master upon them both.

"Personally I don't think you even belong here with the human troops. A monster like you should be locked up in a cage. You should be confined until there's some use for you. Although I have to admit even if you are a monster, you're not hard on the eyes. Tell me, do you ever long to have a man in your bed, a real man? I know you do. I see the way you're looking at me. Maybe you want to bite into my throat and suck my blood. Or maybe you want to suck something else." Stedlum asked smiling and leering down at Seras's chest.

Those words made Alucard's blood boil. Of course he knew Seras would never accept such an indecent proposal, but the mere fact that this human dared to make such advances toward his fledgling was more than enough to anger him. He wanted to teach this insolent human a lesson, but he would wait. He wanted to see just how well Seras would handle herself first.

Seras got an evil smile upon her face. "I must respectfully decline Captain. First off I wouldn't suck your blood if I were starving, because I don't want to suffer a bout of food poisoning. And as for the other proposal, well I wouldn't even touch that thing of yours through your pants because I don't know where it's been. Now if you don't want me reporting you to Sir Integra for sexual harassment I suggest you let me get on with my target practice." Seras replied.

"No body talks to me that way vampire or not!" Stedlum barked. The soldiers stopped their activities and turned around to watch the confrontation. They watched with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.

"Careful captain. You yourself politely pointed out that I am a monster. You shouldn't be so foolish to take your own life in your hands." Seras said with a sweetly wicked tone. From the shadows Alucard smiled approvingly. His fledgling was catching on quickly.

Stedlum began to tremble slightly. Deep down he was terrified of what this female vampire might be inclined to do to him. She could sense his fear. "You look tough threatening a creature like me. But deep down, you're shaking in your boots. You're about ready to piss on yourself you're so frightened. And you know what, you should be frightened. If you had even an inkling of the power I hold you would treat me with some respect and not like some little dime store hooker." Seras replied grabbing Stedlum by the collar of his uniform.

Alucard tensed for a moment fearing she might actually lose control. He relaxed when he realized she was only pulling his head to hers so she could whisper something into his ear.

"You know something Stedlum, I can smell your fear. I can almost taste it. And you want to know something else I like it. I should go report you right now to Sir Integra for sexual harassment." Seras hissed.

"She won't believe you. All I have to say is I gave you began to lose control and threatened me. She'll believe me over you." Stedlum protested.

"You seem to forget something. I may only be a fledgling, but Sir Integra will want to know the full circumstances of why I threatened you. She need only ask my master to probe your mind and he'd tell her everything he saw. And I do mean...everything. You wouldn't want any dirty little secrets you might be hiding to come out in front of your employer now would you?" Seras asked with a sweet, evil smile.

The smile on Alucard's face only got wider at his student's actions. "She's learning well. I don't think I'll have to protect her half as much as I thought." He thought to himself.

"Trust me Captain Stedlum. I don't think you want my master inside your head, do you?" Seras asked.

"Stedlum, Officer Seras, what's going on here?" Asked a stern voice. The vampire and human turned to see Peter Ferguson standing in the doorway. The commander stood impatiently awaiting an answer.

Stedlum was about to answer when he felt something invade his mind. "You don't want me rummaging through your perverted little brain human. Do NOT disrespect one of my own in such a manner ever again. Or the consequences will be dire. That I can promise you." Alucard's voice growled deep in Stedlum's mind.

"I'm waiting. What is going on here?" Ferguson demanded.

"My apologies sir. I took offense to the way Captain Stedlum addressed me. It won't happen again." Seras answered.

"See that it doesn't Officer Seras. I know you're going through a difficult time but that's no excuse to disrespect a commanding officer. Carry on." Ferguson said and left the shooting range.

Seras looked up at Stedlum with an innocent yet evil stare. The captain backed away from Seras giving her a grunt as he tried to recover what little dignity he had left. The other soldiers quickly turned away and continued their target practice. Seras felt she'd scored her first crucial victory in her transition from human to vampire.

"Well done police girl. But watch your temper next time. You had me worried for a moment when you grabbed him by the throat." Alucard replied to Seras in her mind.

"Sorry master." She mouthed silently.

***********************************************

The next night Seras woke up from her daytime slumber. She got out of her coffin and changed from her nightshirt into her uniform. She looked at herself for a moment and sighed. "No wonder that jerk Stedlum was making advances at me. Look at this outfit. This skirt hardly covers my backside. And my bloody chest practically pokes through this shirt. Well, this is what Sir Integra assigned to me to wear."

She finished adjusting the black Lycra thigh high stockings and then put on her work boots. She looked over to see her dinner had been delivered. She walked over to her table and picked up the blood pack. She breathed a disdained sigh and opened the pack. She poured the contents into a bowl and started to eat. She still couldn't get past the cold taste of the stuff. But she had to eat, and this is what Integra supplied her with. "Sheesh, how does master get through the first mouthful of this stuff?" She asked herself as she slurped another spoonful.

As she tried to continue eating she felt the presence of her master invade her senses. Alucard walked out of the black shadow void into Seras's chamber. "You should be eating more than this police girl." He said looking down at the half-emptied bowl.

"I'm sorry master. It just tastes so...bad at the beginning. It's hard for me to get past it." Seras replied.

"Look, I'll make a deal with you police girl. Finish what is there, and we'll go get some from the source." Alucard said.

"But master, I thought Sir Integra doesn't allow us to take it from the source without her knowing about it."

"What our master doesn't know won't hurt her...or us. Now finish your dinner." Alucard ordered firmly.

She sighed and finished eating. She poured the remaining bit of blood from the bowl into her mouth. When she finished Alucard motioned for her to follow him. They traveled through the dark portal and ended up in Sir Integra's office. She looked up to see her two pet vampires standing at her desk.

"What do you two want?" She asked firmly.

"If you will not be needing us, I want to take the police girl out on a few training excersizes." Alucard answered smoothly.

"Very well. Neither of you have any assignments tonight." Integra said waving the two away from her desk.

Alucard and Seras again found themselves traveling through the black void until they were away from the Hellsing compound. "Master, aren't you worried if Sir Integra finds out we're not training?" Seras asked nervously.

"She needn't find out police girl. I didn't lie to her. You're going to be training tonight. I just didn't tell her what kind of training you would be undergoing. You're going to learn to feed without killing. And once you have tasted blood from the source, you must promise me you'll keep your hunger under control. Remember, you're not the only one who will be in a great deal of trouble if you lose control." Alucard replied.

"Yes master." Seras answered with a nervous gulp.

***********************************************

Seras and Alucard disappeared from her room into the city of London. They stayed concealed in the darkness of Alucard's shadows. It was the best way to survey the populace without alarming anyone to their presence. Seras stayed still and quiet clinging to Alucard's waist. He carefully scanned through the crowds looking for a suitable donor. They walked from portal to portal until they came to a row of high-rise apartments. Alucard stopped almost causing Seras to bump into him. His head jerked upwards as he caught the scent of female blood. He looked up and found the source of the enticing fragrance. There in the last apartment far above the city streets a young woman was preparing for bed. Alucard's eyes glowed and his nostrils flared.

"Master?" Seras asked.

"I've found something." He answered. Normally he would have just assumed another form and floated up to where his chosen prey was. But Seras did not yet have that kind of skill, so for now he'd have to opt for a bit more portal hopping. Seras grabbed onto his arm as they went through the void ending up in the woman's bedroom. At first they remained cloaked in darkness so as not to startle the woman.

She was a young thing, no more than twenty-three years old. Alucard caught a stronger whiff of her blood. "We are in luck police girl. This one is a virgin. He replied mentally to his fledgling.

Alucard lifted the shadows from he and Seras. The young woman had just pulled down the bedcovers when she felt a strange sensation come over her. She slowly turned around and found the two vampires in her room. But she did not react with fear. In fact, she didn't much react at all.

"Watch carefully police girl. This will avoid you messy confrontations when you're in need of food but can't have kills on your hands." Alucard replied mentally.

"Come to me." He said in a hypnotic voice. His eyes stared intently into that of the young woman. She had a glazed expression on her face as she obediently walked over to the waiting master vampire. She stood still before him looking into his burning red eyes. He waved his hand across her face.

"Sleep child. There is nothing to fear. You will feel no pain. Sleep." He said. The young woman fell against Alucard's chest as he caught her in his arms. He carried her over to her bed and lay her down upon her back. Then he reached into his inner coat pocket and pulled out a surgical scalpel. He motioned for Seras to come to him.

"This will make it appear as if the girl just cut herself. Rouses far less suspicion this way. Don't worry. She's in a very deep trance so the most she'll feel is a tiny prick if that." Alucard said as he careful made a tiny incision in the woman's upper arm. A stream of blood began to flow from the wound.

"Here's your first lesson in manners police girl. The master always drinks first." Alucard said as he lowered his head and lapped up the stream of blood from the wound. His eyes flashed bright red as he jerked his head back feeling the warm fluid enter his body. After he came down from his high he looked over at Seras.

"Drink now while the wound still bleeds. Do not let her blood be wasted." Alucard commanded. Hesitant but not wanting to disappoint her master, Seras leaned her head down and started to lap at the bleeding wound. Then she latched her mouth onto the woman's arm and began sucking at it. For several seconds she took in the rich, warm liquid until Alucard ordered her to stop.

She let go of the woman's arm. She felt a strange mix of euphoria and revulsion at what she had just done. She just had to keep telling herself the woman felt no pain and she had not been killed to feed Seras and her master. She could feel a small surge of power build within her as the woman's blood became absorbed into her body.

"Good is it not? Innocent blood is the sweetest there is. But it is also some of the most addictive. That is why I had to stop you. If I'd let you go on you would mostly likely have sucked her dry." Alucard said.

Seras gasped realizing what she could have done if Alucard had not stopped her. "It's nothing you would be able to help. The hunger can be very hard to control for a fledgling. With practice and discipline it will become easier to control. We must leave before our master becomes suspicious." The master vampire replied.

"Master, what will happen to this young woman?" Seras asked.

"I must alter her mind so she will not have any memory of our visit." Alucard answered.

He leaned over her. "Hear my voice. You will sleep this night and when you awake, you have no memory of this night. You came home, went to bed and slept peacefully. That is what you will remember." He said in a hypnotic voice. Then he rose to his full height and motioned for Seras to come to him. He opened a portal and they both stepped into the black void.

***********************************************

Later that night Alucard sat in his chamber finishing off what little remained of his nightly ration. He placed the glass down after he drank in the last of its contents. He sat reflecting upon the events of the evening. A smile of approval danced upon his handsome face. She'd been a little hesitant, but that was to be expected. Seras was after all in vampiric infancy. She was like a new born lion cub being taught how to survive. But he was pleased at how she'd willingly fed. He surmised it was easier for Seras knowing the woman she and her master fed from was not a victim but a donor. It would be a little harder to get Seras to accept the fact that sometimes taking lives, even innocent ones was a necessary evil. But that was a bridge he would not have to worry about for the time being. Feeling restless he stood up and walked through the wall of his chamber. He quietly hovered through the Hellsing mansion scanning around for any activity he might find amusing.

For awhile he found nothing of great interest. Maids and butlers cleaning up the mansion before retiring for the night, cooks putting away their utensils and guards surveying the halls. The vampire passed through the halls in mist form making a brief stop at his master's office. Integra was putting away the last of her paper work before taking one last puff on her nearly extinguished cigar. She blew out a puff of smoke and then smashed the remains of the thing in an ashtray. She looked rather tired as she got up from her desk and rubbed her shoulders. She walked out of the office and closed the door for the night.

Alucard started back down the halls until he heard something that caught his attention. He floated past a door and then reformed in his human shape. He pressed his ear cautiously to the door. He heard what appeared to be...moaning. He knew occasionally that the maids and butlers fooled around. Wonderful blackmail material in case any of them got out of line. But what suprised him was one of the voices sounded very familiar. He listened intently as high-pitched squeals of a female seemed to drown out the groans of the much older sounding male.

A rather mischievous grin played on the vampire's face. Now he knew exactly who the man was having a rather enjoyable time with his female companion. "Walter Kum Dolnase, you sly ol devil...." Alucard said with a deep but quiet chuckle.

"And Integra calls ME a dirty old man..." The elder vampire thought with an amused smile.

Having had his little bit of fun Alucard decided he would go check in on his fledgling one more time before retiring. The sun would be rising soon. He phased through the wall of Seras's room and found her sleeping in her coffin. She still had a little trouble adjusting to the fact that vampires didn't sleep at night. But he knew she would soon grow out of her old human sleeping habits. He walked to her coffin and looked down upon her sleeping form. He was tempted to touch her but knowing the sun would soon rise he backed off from the thought. She had done well for her first live feeding. Good that she enjoyed it while she had the chance, and same for him for that matter. It would be the only time either of them would be getting fresh blood for awhile at least. Of course he could always hope that Hellsing would run into some human enemy that posed a threat to the crown. Then he and Seras could feast upon as much as they wished, or at least till the victim had no blood left to drink.

"Someday Seras, you and I will stand side by side not as master and servant, but as lord and lady of the night. Someday we will be free of human masters to roam the Earth as we wish. Someday..." Alucard thought as he vanished from Seras's room.

He reappeared in his own chamber and went to his coffin. He got in and lay down. Slowly he closed the box ready to sleep for the day. Within the darkened confines of the deathbed, his eyes slowly began to close. For the first time in ages he found the idea of rest actually appealing. He finally had the companion he'd longed for, not in Walter or Integra, but in the form of Seras Victoria. And this time there would be no taking her away.
