Downtown, August 15.

Cop!

"You God-damned ghouls!" Alucard changed out the clip in his gun as he communicated telepathically to Seras, his newly turned Police Girl.

It's your time to kill, Ms. Victoria! This is too troublesome... Why are you just sitting there? Come! Help me destroy these zombies!

Seras stumbled off the box she was sitting on, surprised by the invasion in her mind.

"Huh What? What's going on?"  She voiced out loud, before deciding she could speak in her mind.

Sure. I'm coming. She thought.

Move it! Alucard commanded.

Yes! I'll come! She stood up as she dwelled on her circumstances. She felt as though she was becoming less and less human everyday, even hearing the voice of her master in head.

"Aim, shoot, bang. One round should resolve the problem." Seras had a resolved look on her face. She could easily do as she was told. "My opponents are like dolls... these rotten, inhuman wretches will be simple to destroy."

Brapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrap brap.

The bullets tore through the dead flesh easily with Seras' deadly precision. Alucard need not even interfere. In fact, he had time to sip some blood from a pack while his Police Girl did all the dirty work.

"Just keep the work up, you're finally getting it!" As he sucked away at the blood pack, he spoke to himself. "Seras' performing better than I'd expecteed. She may yet be a fitting addition to our blood kin. Bloody boring sometimes though."

He looked beside him at a ghoul that had just been dispatched. Examining the work, he decided it could be better.

"Cop-- aim for the heart and try to take them out in one shot, okay? They didn't become ghouls by their own choice, you know. Once a man becomes a ghoul, he can never return to his human form. By killing them in one shot, you are minimizing their pain. It's for their own good..."

BLAM!!

Nasty ghoul blood exploded all over the room as her next shot hit dead on in the heart of a nearby zombie. She was talented; Alucard had to give her that.

"Sir yes sir, my master!" Seras roared victoriously as she progressed further. She didn't even need her gun for each hit. With a bang, her elbow knocked a particularly ugly ghoul back and her foot smashed its disgusting head open.

"I think you've finally got it. Understand what it means to be a phantom of the night?" He stood up and walked up to his Police Girl. "Quick-- You got rid of the ghouls already, right? Destroy the cardinal vampire, and everything should be at an end!

Suddenly, a massive knife flew straight through her throat.

"Who..." Alucard looked around for who could have hurt the woman who he was training.

"What is this?! AHH! NO! HELP ME!"

And then, without anymore warning, it felt as though perhaps twenty more massive knives were flying through her body. Her body even flew forward with the power of the weapons penetrating her body. They were painful and shocking. Despite her vampiric power, knives were definitely a hindrance to her.
