Im sorry RikiTikiTavi, but Im going to need to post. Im going to try to make a compromise, Ill have it to where Gant saw her running, and recognised her as the one who set the place on fire, and started to chase her. Then, since shes a vampire she ll be a lot faster, but before he loses her he ll take a few shots at her. Im letting one hit, but Im going to BS it so she was so deep in thought she didnt notice any of that, and since shes a vampire and bullets dont hurt as much as it would a human that makes some sense. Hope your happy with this compromise, I know how annoying it could be to have to change a post your proud of, but in this case its necissary since previous posts conflicted ^-^()

10 steps away from happiness

I blew past those who fancy a midnight stroll in London as I ran towards what I had considered Home for the last five years. I got the occasional strange glance but for the most part people went along their normal habits, and didnt mind a girl with firey hair dressed all in black, racing down the street. But as I got closer I ducked into an alley way, hiding from anyone who might see where Id be going next. The location was no secret, you couldnt miss the large Hellsing Manor looming on the top of a hill, but I couldnt be tied to that place. And besides, the way I was going was faster.
With a leap I alighted to the top of the buildings, and continued my approach. When I was first turned I would never imagine doing this, I was still stuck in the mindset of a human, I still thought human limitations applied to me. Slowly I began to see that they did not, and now, I had fully accepted what I had become. I was what I had once feared, a No-Life King. But my priorities were still very human-like, and my main priority at the moment was talking to Walter about the possibility of recruitment. Finally, with one graceful leap to the ground, I landed in the well groomed yard, facing the central nerve center of the most powerful Anti-Undead group in existance---Hellsing Manor.
Wasting no time I ran inside, thinking with happiness at what I would ask Walter to do. I was so intent on finding Walter that I wasnt paying attention to what was in front of me as I swung open the door-----and almost ran the old chap down. “Oh! Im sorry Walter!!!” I said sheepishly, and, feeling as if my face wanted to blush, shut the door slowly behind me and saluted. For a moment, I felt as if I were a new recruit again, but the moment passed swiftly as Walter greeted me, seemingly unfazed at my less-than-graceful entrance. “Ah, Miss Victoria, there was a present matter that I wanted to discuss wi----”
“Sorry Walter sahr, but if its not an emergency there is something you need to know, and something we need to talk about, and...” The aged butler smiled as he adjusted his monicle. “Slow down young one, now I assume it has something to do with the mission.” I nodded, embarrassingly unable to speak in unhurried correct sentances at the moment. I had been running for a while, but I wasnt tired from the distance. I was just too excited and impatient to get out what I wanted to, to think clearly.
A kind twinkle shone in Walters eyes as he opened the door to the parlor. “Well, whatever it is, come inside. While we discuss everything, might we have some tea to steady our nerves a bit?” Taking a deep breath and willing myself to slow down, I smiled and nodded. “Just what I need...”

Steam rose from my teacup as I sat in the parlor a few moments later. Walter always had a fresh pot of tea ready, no matter what the occasion. It was bizzare really, as if he were always expecting company...
“...most of them were killed when I got there. The drug dealers had them outnumbered horribly, its a wonder any of the Met Police were left really. Only one was left....” I trailed off for a moment, deciding to save who it was for a bit later. “He and I took most of the remaining out, and he managed to injure one of them, for interrogation purposes. But....”
Walter looked serenely on as he stood with his arms behind his back patiently. I steeled myself for what I would say and went on. “But I had to kill him Walter. He....he pulled a second gun out of his jacket and....I couldnt let him kill....” I took a deep breath and stood up, looking Walter right in the eyes. “I couldnt let him kill Rudy, Walter. And because of this he...he saw me.” I tried not to wince as I studied his face for any sign of that he was thinking. As usual the old man didnt seem fazed in the least and merely said, “I see.” Feeling I had to defend myself I pleaded my case. “He recognised me Walter, he said my name! He... he called me Kitten.... like they all used to call me before......before.......”
“Seras.” That one word silenced anything else I mightve said. I could only stare at him, his face unreadable as always, and wonder at what he would say next. Would he reprimand me, take control back of the Hellsing Organization? Would he deem me unfit for any further missions, lock me up in the basement as my former master Alucard was? Would he.....would he decide I needed to be exterminated or, worse, would he order me to kill Rudy?! The moments of silence that followed seemed like hours as a million worst-case scenarios went through my head. And then....
“We cant have someone on the outside, especially someone who knew you in a previous life, know that you are still alive. You know this, Seras.” Feeling a thrill of fear, all I could do was gaze at him wide eyed. “Walter....n.....”
Walter just looked on, his face concealing any emotion. “I dont see that we have a choice Seras, it must be done.” I felt as though I had been punched in the stomach. I couldnt believe Walter was saying this, surely there was no need---
“Ill have to make the call as soon as possible, before he talks to anyone about you. We mustnt keep young Rudy Summers waiting, he ll want to know the news of his new recruitment as soon as possible.” His eyes twinkled again as he smiled and bowed slightly in my direction. As I realised what he said my face lit up into a grin. Tears of happiness sprang to my eyes, as I ran forward to hug the old man. “Thank you Walter!!” I choked out through my emotion.
Walter smiled. “This has been quite a night, so many new young people are joining our little family. I almost feel as though Im running a dayschool!” Walter chuckled to himself as he began to leave, and then stopped for a moment to say something. “Oh yes, and Id like you to meet with Dr. Farwell and Kalad as soon as possible about the matter of a young girl. Im sure theyll fill you in. And while your there, let the good doc fix your wound?”
Surprised, I glanced down at my arm, feeling the throbbing pain for the first time. Had I been so preoccupied that I was shot without realising? I resolved to not be so careless in the future, I would be no good to anyone if I were injured badly, or worse. But these thoughts were quickly swept from my mind.
At the moment I felt more happy than I had since that incident in Cheddar. But I knew my work didnt stop for celebration, there would be plenty of time for that later. Placing my chilled cup of unfinished tea on one of the mahogany tables, I stood up, and began locating the group in question.
Quite a night indeed, though somehow I knew it was far from over.

Ok Kalad, feel free to have Seras find you and Aiden Farwell and the little girl, she ll probably ask a few questions, but will probably allow her to stay, at least for now. Lets get this party started ^,-,^
