Integra literally put her cigar out on Mariculs face pressing it in until it was smashed against the side of her right cheek. She removed both of her gloves finger by finger while doing so she spoke, "Like my great grand father before me had done, defeated Lord Dracula and enslaved him as a tool to kill the very kind he created. You will serve the Hellsing family just as Seras's master, bound by the very symbol I poses."
Very suddenly Integra thrust her hand forward clutching Maricul by the throat through Seras's shadows. The pentagram on the back of her left hand glowed bright red, Maricul would feel excruciating pain as the Hellsing pentagram etched its way through her skin, she would feel the black magic seep through her body locking away her powers level for level. "You will only be freed from my power if I grant you the permission. If I am to pass away you are utterly screwed to an eternity in the dungeons until the next predecessor allows you to walk the surface of this planet freely."
Integra back handed Maricul, "And that's for breaking my windows. Welcome to the Order."
With no words left to say to the vampire she turned heel motioning for Heinkel and Sebastian to follow.

Sebastian watched the vampire lose the lower half of her body without expression. He simply raised his eyebrows at the strange shadow dog. Did it enjoy the taste of vampire...? Well, it didn't matter. It was Integra's words that drew his attention, and he shot her a sideways glance. So, she intended to bond this vampire to her pentagram as well? He viewed that as an act of mercy. It would have been all to easy for the creature to have it's life torn away; yet she had spared it, at the price of it becoming practically a slave. Then Integra had grasped the woman's throat, and eh found himself fascinated by the bonding. Once it was done, Integra spoke again. Those words seemed quite familiar to his own bond to her. The main difference was that his powers weren't sealed; he could use them at will. But he only used them on Integra's command.
And if Integra were to pass away... Well then, he would have her soul just before the death; assuming the contract's terms were met; and then he'd be free to seek out a new master. Not locked up in a dungeon somewhere. It must have really sucked to be a vampire, doomed to that fate... Then he heard the sound of contact as Integra struck the vampire. He made a mental note to never give her reason to slap him. The fact that he hadn't eaten for so long meant he was more susceptible to pain than usual. And if something like that happened to him, at the hands of his master; he'd definitely feel it. He blinked as Integra turned and started to walk away; and he followed without a word or backward glance at the vampire. Wait... The Windows... "If you'll allow me to go ahead, master; I'd like to replace those windows before you return to the mansion..." He said in a soft voice as he walked at her side. It wouldn't be proper for her to arrive and see the stacks of glass and other broken materials from the mansion.

Seras released Maricul at once allowing her to simply flop to the ground. She walked over the vampire and the reality around her began to change back to normal. Even the Baskerville faded away howling to its master before leaping straight into the shadows themselves. Seras kneeled in front of Maricul and took one of her nails and dragged it across her wrist slicing a wide gash before pouring the blood straight on the pavement.
"You'll drink like the dog you are now," Seras said almost delighted at how it felt to be in the role of the superior rather than the inferior. She remembered when her master belittled her on many occasions for the silly things she did. Now it was her turn.

"Like my great grand father before me had done, defeated Lord Dracula and enslaved him as a tool to kill the very kind he created. You will serve the Hellsing family just as Seras's master, bound by the very symbol I poses."
Maricul's eyes widened as Integra grabbed her by the throat and released a loud scream of agony that echoed through the night's sky as a small pentagram etched herself onto it as if someone took a knife to her throat and drew. She felt her powers being locked away keeping her stable in a manner only the crucifix has been able to do before it. The throbbing pain remaining on her throat long after Integra had placed the Hellsing pentagram there.
"You will only be freed from my power if I grant you the permission. If I am to pass away you are utterly screwed to an eternity in the dungeons until the next predecessor allows you to walk the surface of this planet freely."
A backhand followed causing spit to come out of Maricul's mouth as Integra walked away.
"And that's for breaking my windows. Welcome to the Order."
By that point Seras released her hold on her and she fell to the ground, yet again. Looking up as the blond stood over her now and offered her more of her own blood to drink.
"You'll drink like the dog you are now."
Immediately Maricul wanted to spit in Seras' face. To turn her head in an act of defiance and refuse to drink. But that would only hold her to Hellsing's service longer. If she wanted to be freed as soon as possible so she could return home then there was only one way to accomplish that feat. Obedience. Maricul turned to her side and licked the blood off the ground like a dog, gulping it down and allowing it to empower her. Regenerating her body and regaining her strength but remaining on the ground until ordered to get up. |

"Go ahead Sebastian," Integra said allowing her guard to protect her further on her return to the Mansion. It had been an odd day today and a storm was coming, she didn't understand the feeling on the back of her neck but something was closing in. Integra walked through the gates and returned to the mansion.

The butler bowed, and left Integra's side with a dark blur of motion; one might have thought he'd use teleportation due to his apparent 'disappearing on the spot'. He would vanish from their sight in a blink, in a massive rush to set things up properly for the master's return. The piles of glass shards and rubble were carried away; left in a part of the destroyed city zones where no one resided anymore. By the time Integra was walking through the Hellsing Manor front gates, the windows had been replaced by ones he'd made; and he was waiting at the front door for the woman. Sebastian opened the doors as she approached; and held it open for her and Heinkel. Once they were both in, he shut the door and turned to follow Integra; he'd already set a fresh-brewed cup of tea on the desk in her study.
((Also bows and exits the thread after Integra))

"C'mon then, get up. No point in laying around being all mopey. You'll like it here, I promise it's not that bad, if you'd of just listened to me the first time none of this would have happened..." Seras crossed her arms and watched Maricule. She has potential to become a very dangerous being, however, she didn't have the skill to take down someone who was trained to kill her people. With enough time she would become a monster like their sire and herself.

Maricul pulled herself up to her feet. Running a hand across her throat where the pentagram now was before bringing a hand on the part of her face Integra had burnt and backhanded. Think she'll take a rain check on that smoke.
“Now what?” |

Seras stretched up and down turning her torso as she cracked her back, 'now what?' She stopped and pointed to her broken gun down the lane, "Now you fix it since you broke it." She was entirely serious too. Though the rifle hadn't been her main weapon, it was still a cherished weapon of hers for close range freak encounters. It was always at her side, even if she had her main weapon on her.

"Now you fix it since you broke it."
“Was never broken.”
Maricul picked up the rifle and then the paper around the barrel unwrapped itself and disperse to reveal that the weapon was still in perfect condition and was never broken in the first place. Handing it back to the blond.
“Ta da.” |

"Oh no, you're gonna clean your grubby finger prints off it you will. You touched my gun you get to clean it and the innards," Seras said with a bright smile. Maybe she was going a bit overboard with this, but she was enjoying it very much. It's not like she and Mari had a bond after all, they were just of the same sire.... Well kinda.
"Oh come on, don't look so glum you'll love it here!"

"Oh no, you're gonna clean your grubby finger prints off it you will. You touched my gun you get to clean it and the innards."
Maricul's eyes narrowed over Seras. The temptation to squeeze the trigger and blow her head off rising. But she'd just regenerate and slap her around some more with shadows only this time Maricul wouldn't be able to use more of her powers even if she wanted to. She had no control over how the seals worked. Only Integra. Maricul let go of the rifle and it hung in the air by her magic before the entire thing was cleaned in a matter of seconds. Hooray for cheap and lazy manual labor.
“It's cleaned.”
"Oh come on, don't look so glum you'll love it here!"
“I don't belong here.”
Maricul looked around sensing the disturbance caused by the organization's presence.
“Come to think of it, neither do you.” |

"Course I don't belong here. But I make due with what I have," Seras said taking her weapon back from Maricul. She pulled the strap tight again and put it around her shoulder. Seras gave Mari a look of pity actually. She was having fun with all of this but there was a mutual understanding what it felt like to be removed from your element so easily.
"Look. Sir Integra is very unforgiving and very strict, but she's also kind and understanding. Do right and you'll get more freedom. Maybe even get used in your element. Where ever that may be."

Maricul knew that look all too well. The look of pity. It was the same look Riley gave to her before getting her a job where she could make a somewhat decent living for herself in Isafaro. Maybe this woman wasn't as bad as Maricul thought. Maybe she was. Either way she didn't have a lot of options available to her at the moment. So this is what it felt like to be truly powerless.
"Look. Sir Integra is very unforgiving and very strict, but she's also kind and understanding. Do right and you'll get more freedom. Maybe even get used in your element. Where ever that may be."
Unforgiving and strict. She got that much. Hard to imagine the latter two but there has been stranger things that had happened in her life.
“Lead the way.” |

"Lead the way? Where we going?"
Seras had planned to continue patrolling the area considering their scuffle had done so much damage to the already ran down area that it was bound to cause another riot like the one they had a couple weeks back. With her present it would deter a riot and even halt others from stealing from the unfortunate buildings that had collapsed. Hellsing had promised to rebuild the area, not destroy it. Hopefully Mr. Harker had a fix for this. Hopefully.
