Seras had thrown up after all the excitement that day. Even Sir Integra had shown up at the end of it. It had even lightened the mood.

"That girl... how well did she perform?" Integra asked Alucard. "Has she improved a bit?"

"Ah? The girl cop?" Alucard played dumb. "Okay, I guess."

"Ma-Master!" Seras raised her hand.

"Hmm?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Please. Stop calling me 'cop' and 'police girl'. My name is Seras Victoria."

"Stop protesting, you little coward." His mouth seemingly didn't even move. "You are 'cop'."

"S-stop it!"

"Inept people like you don't deserve a name." Alucard teased.

"You two won't get to the point." Integra shook her head.

But now, Seras was underground. Thirty meters underground.

"Wa... Walter..." Seras spoke to the butler at Integra's mansion. "What's this?"

"This was Sir Integra's command-- 'How can a vampire not sleep in a coffin?'-- Those were her exact words!" He spoke back with conviction.

"But... why... Why'd you have to stick something like this in my room..." She looked dismally at the pine box that had replaced her bed. "Where's my bed?!"

"I've already 'processed' it." He bowed. Walter had burned it.

"NOOOO!" Seras growled. Even you at the asylum had a bed.

"Furthermore... and this is from Alucard... You never drank a drop of blood after you became a vampire." He relayed the message.

"My master said this?"

"If you don't sleep in the coffin, you will only become weaker and weaker. If you don't want to kill, you can always use the medical blood." The butler explained. "Why don't you like blood?"

"I don't know..." Seras sighed. "But I always feel that if I drink blood, I shall lose something-- forever."

"Useless fool." He scoffed as a new presence entered the room.

"If that's the case, why didn't you let me drink your blood to begin with? You could've died as a human." Alucard spoke up.

"Master!" Seras was surprised. She was too tired from seeing you to deal with this.

"Instead, you chose the path of darkness. The night will always invade your soul, and overcome the light you held as a human." His eyes turned to you. "Listen to me, cop. Once you step towards the dusk and leave the sun behind, you may never return." He warned.

Seras frowned. She had good reason for trying to toe the line between human and vampire. She still had you to take care of-- a big reason why she couldn't face death just yet either.

"Forget it. There's always a vampire like you every now and then. It doesn't bother me too much. Just keep tip-toeing your way along." He sighed.

"Ye... Yes." She admitted. It wasn't as if she had a choice. As long as she could take care of you, she would do whatever needed to be done.

"Oh yes, I have completed your assigned task." The bulter spoke to Alucard.

"Oh really? Let me see." He turned towards him.

"I was going to take this to you..."

"Heh, this is..."

"Our new 13 mm pistol. It weighs 16 kilos, is 39 cm long, and carries six bullets. This weapon cannot be used by humans."

YN would like it... She always liked this kind of stuff... Seras thought as she watched the master vampire play with his new toy. I hope she's behaving.
