Part 3

I looked at the envelope containing the letter Seras had written for lord Alucard. I have no idea what she could have written, but I am worried. I walked slowly to the room, trying to prolong the event as much as possible. I understood Seras' actions, but I don't think she realised how many people care about her. For a start, a lot of the men in this organization owe Seras their lives. They care for her like a little sister even though she is the strongest amongst them. Her smiles and chirpy attitude calm the men when they are going on a mission. They feel protected around her. I remember a particular incident when they were sent out to beat back at least one hundred ghouls. They were so scared and sad. Yet along comes Seras and within minutes she had them laughing at a joke, something to do with Van Helsing and newspaper. They had all been wondering how she was as news spreads fast around this place.

I reached the door and entered. Alucard hadn't moved from his spot beside her, and she still had not regained consciousness. I told him of the letter and gave it to him. I knew he wanted to be alone. I had never seen Alucard cry before, but it sure as hell made me realise a few things. I felt him in piece to read it. I have never truly understood Alucard. Only a few days ago he was telling me of his feelings towards Miss Victoria. I was slightly surprised.

He had shown little interest in her, and after what he had done to her earlier on I had my doubts. That was the problem though. He made Seras believe that he didn't care and yet when faced with losing her, he is a completely different person. I know that the next few days, perhaps even weeks, will be difficult but I am sure that she can be helped.

I should go and check on Sir Integra. Not long after the incident she was violently ill. She too had cried for Seras. After the paramedics had taken Seras away, Sir Integra walked up to her room calmly walked in to the connecting bathroom and was sick. Between her sobs I caught statements such as "It's all my fault" and "I didn't mean this to happen."

I held her hair away from her face and rubbed her back to comfort her. Once she had relaxed a little I told her to get dressed and get some sleep. I went down to the kitchen and filled a pitcher with cold water and ice. I walked back up to her room and knocked the door. She told me to come in. I placed the pitcher on her bedside table and tucked her into bed, much like a child. She quickly fell asleep.

I left the room as quietly as possible and went to my room. I entered and locked the door behind me, moving to sit on my bed. I took a deep breath and reached into my waistcoat pocket, removing the letter Seras had written for me. I slowly opened the letter and began to read its contents.

Dear Walter,

I want to thank you for everything. You have been such a good friend to me. I hope I have not hurt you by ending my life. I know that you will be one of the few that will miss me. I want you to know that my death has nothing to do with you. You were always so kind to me, like a grandfather. Hope I don't make you feel too old by saying that. There are only a few things that I would like you to do for me. Please take care of my master and Integra while I am gone. Also tell my squad that I will miss them dearly and always remember the joke about Van Helsing. Please take good care of yourself and hopefully you won't have to make much more use of your evil dental floss. Take care. I will miss you so much.

With all my heart and soul

Seras Victoria

I took yet another deep breath to keep myself from crying. I had never dealt with this kind of situation, and it was so confusing. I know now that if Seras pulls through that I must talk with Sir Integra and Alucard alone. I know that it will hurt them emotionally, but they need to realise that Seras cares about them regardless of everything. I must sleep on this. And with that I lay down and close my eyes, letting my tired body rest. My prayers all for our Seras, our beloved little police girl.
