From Me To You

It was starting to get dark and when the taxi driver saw the figure in the middle of the lonely countryside road, it was too late.

The figure was a man clad in black, who turned round, and the two bright flashlights of the taxi reflected off his peculiar blood-red eyes. Horns blaring, tires screeching, the man in black did nothing even when the taxi skidded, colliding into him despite the attempt to swerve out of harm's way. The impact threw his body at least a few feet off the ground and the car finally grinded to a jarring halt.

Doors opened. Frantic footsteps approached him. He lay very still over the concrete, his eyes closed, blood dribbling over his face.

"Oh shit!" The taxi driver threw himself down to kneel beside him, "A-are you okay, sir?"

There was no response.

"Where are you hurt?"

Still no response.

"Better just call an ambulance." The taxi driver murmured to himself, before he scoured his pockets but…

The man on the ground suddenly opened his eyes.

And then the taxi driver's head flew off from his shoulders in a radiant display of blood and tendrils. He landed back onto the road and bounced a few feet or so, rolling. His body remained kneeling on the ground in a pool of blood. The man in black slowly stood up and cracked his neck by tilting his head to the side, staring at the kneeling, headless body in front of him. Moments later, the body collapsed and slumped over on its front on the road, more blood seeping out underneath.

Looking left and right, the man in black crouched down to reach for the ankles, and dragged the body away from the road and into the bushes.

Hellsing manor.

Ruby was brought to Hellsing and provided with dry clothes and another guest room. It was a different room than the one she stayed in before, with the addition of a large, flat-screen TV attached robustly to the wall opposite the huge four-poster bed. Frankly speaking, she'd spent more time in Hellsing than she did in her own apartment; she sighed as she lay back on the downy, king-sized duvet of her bed and stared at the ceiling, listening to the clock tick on the wall. Then, she closed her eyes and tried to relax; soon, she had completely drifted off.

She woke up after a few hours when she felt an additional presence in her room and re-opened her eyes to see Alucard standing to her right, having been watching her silently by the window.

On this occasion, he seemed...different. For once, his hair was undeniably longer... Thicker...Darker... and dare she say it...curlier? He was also not adorned in his usual attire of the giant, hulking crimson coat, but rather, he was dressed in a white, silk shirt with long sleeves and the buttons undone all the way to his navel, exposing a generous amount of his chest, which had Ruby thinking twice if the lone individual in her room was in fact, Alucard. She squinted her eyes for a better look of him and noticed he also had a...moustache? And stubble. He had stubble, dotting his entire jaw and sideburns, giving him a somewhat wild, aggressive appearance.

"…Alucard?" Was it really him? And how did he manage to grow so much facial hair so quickly? She croaked, "...Er...What are you doing?"

"I was enjoying the view." He replied; his voice was gravelly and low, with a seductive edge. Either he meant the view of Integra's hedge maze outside her window, or her lying utterly defenceless and sleeping on the gargantuan, inviting bed. She glanced over when he strode towards her, joining her on the bed. She felt the mattress sink in and blinked up at him. "I did not mean to awaken you."

"…That's okay. What's up?"

"I feared I lost you."

"You mean back there?" She said, "Oh, Alucard." Ruby glanced up when she felt his hand brushing back her hair gently. "…You know, I should be going home. I shouldn't stay here; I mean, what if Sir Irons comes and sees me, sees us?"

"Then let him see."

"We'll be in trouble. You'll be in trouble."

He pressed his lips against the corner of her mouth, nibbling sensually, "We are all mature adults." He murmured, before he buried his nose into her neck to inhale her scent, which he found stunningly intoxicating. He groaned as he imagined what it would be like to be inside her, to feel her tight walls squeeze him. He managed to grate out, "...I'm sure we will resolve any matters he finds offending by means of professional and diplomatic methods…"

"I guess. Even Joshua's an adult. The only people who are older than him here are Mr Walter and you." She muttered, "How is he?"

"My master should be speaking to him for the moment. We have time to ourselves."

She yawned. "...I really wanna sleep..."

He didn't understand. Why was she so tired? She had slept soundly all day and afternoon last night. Was something wrong? If she was a vampire, she'd never be burdened by lethargy or exhaustion. He said, "But I want you," before he pressed a kiss on her forehead.

"It tickles." She suddenly said, and he realised she was talking about his moustache. "Why do you have... er...all the..uh...decorations?"

"...Do you like it?"

"Um, it's nice; it's a nice, new look, Alucard. You're so unpredictable."

He smirked and leant down to capture her lips in a heated kiss, stealing her breath away. She realised he was above her, caging her within himself but she was too sleepy to wriggle away; she closed her eyes, letting him kiss her without much protest and simply lay on the bed as he hovered above her. His arm slithered under her waist whilst the other scooped under her neck before he hauled her to arch against him in a passionate embrace.

Ruby shifted slightly as he began kissing her neck, his lips burning lavishly on her skin. She hesitated, before gradually lifting her arms to wrap around him accordingly as he fisted her hair, pressing them against each other as tightly as possible. She bit back a moan as her fingers danced over the thick muscles of his shoulders and up his neck into his thick, dark, tousled locks, feeling him tense for a split second under her touch before he shuddered, relaxing. Finally, she re-opened her eyes as he pulled away from her neck to tilt her head to side.

"Ruby…" He breathed, "I want you so much." He dipped his head, ruthlessly plunging her lips with his own again until she was gasping and out of breath, her face hot and flushed. She felt his fangs extend out of their usual length, pricking her bottom lip gently, forcing her mouth open. He thrust his tongue inside and licked the roof of her mouth enticingly. She honestly didn't know if she was dreaming. If it was a dream, a part of her earnestly wished she wouldn't be able to wake up.

The answer came when there was a loud knock on the door. It was enough to snap her out of her dazed state; Ruby pulled away and turned groggily to face the door, then swerved her gaze back to Alucard. "Someone's at the door." She croaked out breathlessly as an evident frown began to make its way to his face.

"Yes, I can hear them." He replied flatly, but he continued to occupy himself in kissing her neck. She tried to get up but he pushed her back down. "Ignore them."

"But it might be something important."

He watched her intently for a few seconds, then slowly got off her to sit back on the bed, silently granting her permission to open the door. Ruby sat back up and grabbed her crutches. She tidied her hair and wiped her neck dry and smoothed down her clothes. Once she was at the door, she opened it to reveal Joshua who was blinking up at her expectantly. "Josh?"

"Hi." He said meekly, "I've finished speaking to Sir Hellsing. She said I should stay here, so…yeah, I'll be staying here from now on. Seras will be teaching me some stuff tomorrow, but I can't participate in any missions yet. Mr Morris said he wants to run a few tests on me too."

"That's excellent, Josh! You'll be just fine." She placed her hand on his shoulder and he tensed up all over, but still managed to muster a thin, watery smile at her.

"Thank you, Ruby. Oh, um, I should go. I don't wanna bother you…"

"No, don't be silly, Josh; you're not bothering us at all! Do you want to come in? Alucard and I were just – " Ruby stopped as soon as she turned round.

Alucard was nowhere to be seen in her room.

East Wing Basement.

"Interesting…"

Morris was hunched over a microscope on the counter with booming rock music pounding relentlessly into his ears from a pair of headphones clamped over his head; he was in the research lab Integra had graciously provided him with. It was his working space from now on; during the first few days, he'd tried to grow used to the mansion but it was simply far too large. Instead, he merely took up sanctuary underground in one of the many basements, knowing all too well his next door neighbour was Alucard. He kept his noise pollution to a minimal.

Suddenly, the volume to his music was lowered; he looked up and there was Alucard standing beside his laptop with his finger on the volume button. "What is so interesting?" The vampire enquired.

Morris removed his headphones and left them around his neck. He pulled on the string dangling beside him that was attached to the ceiling, and the lightbulb switched on, illuminating them both in dim orange light. "Mr Alucard, I didn't hear you knock."

"Of course you didn't."

"It's how I work." Morris replied, switching off his Media Player entirely to indicate the vampire had his fullest attention. "How may I help you?"

Alucard moved away from the laptop and picked up a strange looking tong from the tray before placing it back down. He then leaned against one of the cupboards, watching Morris keenly. "What have you determined from the cure Joshua Sloan gave us?"

Morris pulled his goggles up to rest on his forehead and then took out the glass swab from the microscope and held it up. "Actually, it's not a cure. It's some kind of virus, or poison."

"Make up your mind."

"It's poison. Vampire poison."

"Poison."

"Yeah. Thank god Joshua didn't drink it. It could've killed him. One of the key components of this poison is blood, but not just any blood."

"A vampire's blood."

Morris nodded and returned the swab in the microscope. "Yep." He said, crossing his arms, "If you mix poisonous substances along with a vampire's blood, it will double the lethality. But the blood…it only constitutes 0.3 per cent. What I mean is a vampire's blood has been added to this and I can tell because the blood cells are different than a human's and an animal's – "

"Get to the point, Morris."

"Alright, alright. Anyway…when I was in America, we did research on vampire blood. They're like fossils. We learnt all about dinosaurs from their bones, yes? Then the same can go for vampires, only with their blood."

Alucard listened with a wide grin on his face. He was intrigued humans had discovered so much about vampires. Frankie Morris, a bumbling buffoon as he could often be, was surprisingly no exception.

Morris was still speaking, "Vampire blood cells and their mitochondrial DNA can tell you what age a vampire is, like the rings on a tree. I am positive the vampire whose blood was used in this poison is roughly about…four to five hundred years old. Roughly the same age as you, but a little younger."

"Impossible. That would mean he is… "

And Morris nodded while Alucard raised an eyebrow in response. "This vampire who we are dealing with…He may be one of the First Vampires. We need to speak to Integra immediately about this – "

"No need, I'm right here."

The duo turned to see Integra and Walter strolling down the stairs with the others trailing behind them; the 'others' included Seras, Ruby and new recruit Joshua, who were all marvelling the interior as if they were in a museum. Alucard watched Ruby; she was chatting with Seras as the two whispered to each other, before breaking into a fit of giggles. When Joshua blinked blankly at them, the two girls whispered to him before the boy too, ultimately began giggling in similar fashion. Alucard raised a thin eyebrow in response. 'Irritating' was the only word he would use to sum their behaviour up. It was rather irritating...

"I hope you don't mind, Morris." said Integra, "I brought the others to show them your lab."

"Oh, no, not at all." Morris pulled his goggles off and began to tidy up a few papers and files away while Ruby caught sight of Alucard.

"There you are." She said as she hopped over with her crutches and stopped shortly in front of him. She realised his moustache and stubble had gone and he was back to his usual self, back to his usual appearence which she'd gotten used to. Even his coat had returned. She decided not to question him about it. "So this is where you went."

The corner of his lips tugged upwards into a smirk. His mate had been looking for him? A surge of contentment stirred inside him. "You were worried about me."

She blinked at him with her cerulean-blue eyes, then nodded as he reached for her hand and began to rub the back of her palm with his thumb. "Yeah, I was. I mean, one minute we were kis – I mean, I...was with you and then Joshua came, and when I turned back round you were gone and I said 'Hey where did Alucard go?' and then Joshua replied 'Maybe he went to get some blood from the fridge downstairs' and I - "

He gazed at her steadily. "Yes, yes..." He hadn't been listening properly, having been captivated by her moving, dusty pink lips as she spoke. He wanted to kiss her badly. He ached; his body felt like it was being scorched by fire. After the meeting, he thought, he'd make sure they were alone and he'd push her against the wall and -

"Er-hem." Integra cleared her throat loudly, bringing him out of his thoughts.

Focus now. Concentrate. Master is speaking. He grabbed Ruby from behind in a fashion that it was not obvious to the others and pulled her top up to a tiny extent so he could slip his hands underneath; he groaned inwardly from the feel of her skin as he wrapped his arms around her front, pressing her backwards into his chest. She turned to him questioningly but he merely gave her a fleeting glance from the bottom of his eye. He grinned, flashing one fang in a playful manner. In response, she blushed and quickly turned back to the front.

"If I could have your attention please…Yes, thank you. Firstly…about what happened tonight, I don't think Iscariot will lay a finger on Ruby again." Integra said, "…Although, leaving Alexander Anderson in a burning barn won't kill him..."

Joshua began to sweat slightly.

"Anyway, I've left the negotiations with the Vatican to Walter; attacking an innocent British civilian won't look good on their record. Now… about Joshua..." Integra glanced at the rest of them - Seras, Alucard, Joshua, Ruby and Morris, were standing in behind her whilst Walter stood beside her. She forced a wry smile at them; the Hellsing family was growing bigger and bigger slowly but surely, and it was becoming to consist of the most unlikely individuals, too. "We still have not concluded a possible reason for the theft of the knife. Vampires will be unable to use it, for example. It will be useless in their possession. My only guess is they wished to cause us trouble. Also, they attacked the Harker's but did not create any new vampires. Furthermore, from Joshua's description, we've had a few professional artists draw out a concept image of the man who gave him the cure - "

"Poison."

"Yes, poison."

"That's terrible. Victor Sloan was never promised the cure in the beginning at all. Everything he did was in vain." Seras said, while Joshua remained steely silent. A few seconds later, the boy waddled over to Ruby and grasped at the sleeve of her shirt, his head hanging low.

"Josh?"

The boy made no sound, not even a peep. He continued staring forlornly at the ground.

"Oh, Josh…"

Integra cleared her throat and Walter came over with a folder under his arm, which he handed to the director. She thanked him, opened it and then took out a few photocopies before handing one each to everyone. "Let's move on, shall we? Here is the sketch of the man. Remember his face."

The photocopy contained a portrait of a young man drawn in charcoal; Ruby cocked her head to the side. He appeared to be Caucasian, and he was attractive, with tussled raven hair that reached past his ears but not to the base of his neck…his face was long, and he had an angular, but narrow, long-bridged nose and slender jawline and prominent chin… Ruby gulped inwardly as she let herself familiarise with the portrait. He's kinda cute. She thought, but then she turned to Alucard and realised he was watching her with much regard; she grinned sheepishly at him. But Alucard's first.

"Who is he?" Seras asked, squinting her eyes at the picture.

"This man may be the leader of the Black Flame Knights. He may be one of the First Vampires too, if the blood in this poison belongs to him. Overall, he is a highly dangerous individual. He is also in command of the vampire named Luther. However, we are unsure of what he may be capable of. I have alerted the Commissioner; if we find him, extreme precaution must be taken."

"So…who are the First Vampires anyway?" Seras asked, glancing from Alucard to Integra, and back to Alucard. "And how come Master has never told me this?"

"Because we did not believe they still existed." The Director replied stoically, "They are humans who were turned into vampires by Alucard directly. A prime example are Dracula's brides; Seras can also be considered as one of the First Vampires."

Seras blinked, then pointed to herself. "Huh? Me?"

"But the term 'First' does not only apply to those turned by Alucard. First Vampires can also be any human turned by First Vampire themselves."

That's confusing, Ruby thought to herself.

Integra continued. "The First are stronger compared to the vampires we deal with now, far stronger than those vampires in fact. Humans who are turned by other vampires who were also turned by other vampires, and not by Alucard himself, are weaker. You can say…Vampires have 'family trees'. Alucard is at the very beginning, and therefore, he is the strongest. Any other human to be bitten by Alucard himself and turned is therefore considered one of the 'First Vampires'." She explained, "A vampire's power diminishes as this 'family tree' goes larger and larger thus extending the number of branches this family tree has - Because the humans who are turned by other vampires and not by Alucard are generally weaker, I can say that the vampires we deal with now in this generation, are, in fact, weaker than they were compared to the past."

…..

"I hope Josh is okay."

"The Sniffer Dog has to be."

"Why do you insist on calling him that?"

"Because that is what he is."

Once the meeting at Morris' lab was over, Alucard and Ruby returned back upstairs. She wasn't sure what would happen from now on, but it appeared the circumstances were very bleak. She glanced at Alucard from the corner of her eyes as she limped beside him on her crutches; he appeared stuck in thought and she was determined to find out what was bugging him. "What's wrong? You seem a little distracted." She asked.

He took a while to reply. "…The vampire we are dealing with are one of the First." He gestured to the photocopy Ruby had kept with her. "…This man…"

She unfolded the portrait. "You recognise him?"

"No, I do not. I have many victims, but I do not recall him. However...I am beginning to find myself remembering more and more about my brides."

"…Oh." She said, her expression seemed to have fallen. "I see."

"I do not remember their names. It is a haze…And their appearances…It is not a thorough image, but..." He stopped when he realised she wasn't looking at him but rather, at the floor. "Ruby, I am telling you this as I trust you not to misunderstand me when I tell you such things."

"It's okay. I understand. Can I ask you something though?" She asked; he said nothing but prompted her to continue. Ruby took a deep breath. "…If I wasn't your mate…" She began anxiously, "Would you still like me? If I didn't have the blood, that is. The 'bride blood', let's just call it that. If I didn't have it…would you still like me? I mean, if I didn't have it, then…there's nothing about me."

He wondered if she had really called it 'bride blood'. Apparently she did. "Of course." He replied, "You are a pleasant girl. You are attractive…Intriguing…enthusiastic…unrealistically optimistic…With desirable qualities such as those, no man would be able to resist you."

"…Really?"

"Yes," He asserted, "You should not ask me such ridiculous questions."

She stopped following him, watching his retreating back. Sensing that she was no longer walking with him, he turned back round and gazed at her expectantly. Ruby tensed up slightly when their eyes met, then found herself gradually picking up pace. She hopped over with her head low and stopped beside him. His lips tugged upwards into a smirk, before he removed his hat swiftly and bowed at her; she limped backwards as she stared at his display, blinking numbly when he reared back up before offering his hand to her. Ruby looked up at him again questioningly, then at his hand. She accepted, letting go of one crutch to slide her small hand into his and flashed him a meek smile when he brought her hand to his lips and kissed the back of her palm.

"I am yours, Ruby, and you are mine." He murmured, his eyes landing on her in a sultry gaze, "I will protect you with my life."

She stilled, and he sensed her slight hesitation; he let go of her hand and reached into his mouth. "…What are you doing?" Ruby gazed with widened eyes as she saw him reach with his right hand, before his fingers clamped down and gave a rough twist and a pull.

"Your hand, please." He said, as he lowered his fist. Blood dribbled from the corner of his lips to the rugged outline of his jaw but he didn't seem the least affected by it at all.

She held out her hand as requested, eyeing his bloodied chin warily, and he placed something weighty into her palm, then pressed her fingers to curl around it with his own. She stared at his blood oozing out and dripping through the cracks of her fingers and onto the prized carpet below, then shakily opened her hand again.

Drenched in blood, a sharp and long, tool-like item sat in the middle of her palm.

She gasped.

It was a fang.

He'd given her one of his fangs.

Ruby gaped at the thoughtful present, and swallowed down. Surprisingly enough, she did not even have the urge to scream or chuck it out as one might do. Instead, she merely held it. Alucard's fang was bigger than she expected. It was larger, and far wider and heavier than a normal tooth, that was for certain. It was not an ivory shade, but it rather resembled an intense but greyish-white, gleaming piece of marble with a sharpened edge that looked like it could prick even the thinnest veins in one's body. It had also dried, with a slight glossy but rubbery, and almost…dead, feeling, as though the fang was no longer working. No longer…alive.

"You didn't have to do that." She squeaked, with a handful of Alucard-fang.

"You needn't worry. It was not painful or uncomfortable. Another fang will grow back in its place quickly." He stretched open his mouth for her to see, where she realised that it appeared he had not lost any fangs at all.

"…Why did you give me your fang?"

He neatly wiped his blood away from his chin. "I wanted you to know how much you mean to me."

She stared at him in silence, before a rosy stain appeared on her cheeks.

"It is also for protection. It can penetrate any surface, and will not yield, not even to metal, whether it be iron or steel."

"Not at all?"

"No."

"Oh, I see, so you expect me to use it as self-defence. I could try and make it into a little teeny-weeny dagger." She giggled. But I might poke my own eye out if I'm not careful…Or, I could make it into a necklace…but still, it'll be Alucard's tooth I'll have around my neck if that's the case. "Thank you. I'll cherish it forever."

He watched her slip his fang into her pocket, and smile up at him. This would be the first time he'd seen her smile properly, especially AT him. He'd gotten used to seeing her frowning or glaring or having this equally exasperated, annoyed, frustrated or tired expression aimed at him. If only she smiled more; it lit up her features stupendously and endowed her with a whole different perspective. Alucard smirked in response and reached over to her, his lips by her ear. "Ruby, you are so beautiful." He murmured, and her blush spread like wildfire, her ears going red, too.

"D-Don't say that. I...I'm not...beautiful." She mumbled awkwardly, scratching at the back of her elbow. A man had never said that to her before. She wasn't sure how to react; all she seemed capable of doing was hunching under her clothes and hanging her head low. She was shy. Very shy. It amused him to no end. He chuckled and took one of her crutches, then reached for her hand again and looped his fingers around hers; she gazed at their intertwined hands, and squeaked.

"Yes, you are." He asserted, as they continued to make their way back upstairs.

She couldn't stop blushing; her cheeks were possibly as hot as the surface of the sun. She cleared her throat; "Um... I have something for you too." Once they returned to her guest room, she hopped over to the basket on the table that contained an assortment of fruit. She delved her hand in and plucked out a small fruit knife, holding it in her hand. She held the handle, clenched in her tiny palm, blade sticking outwards as it neared her arm, and he watched on inquisitively, then she rolled up her sleeve and revealed her wrist to him. "…My blood."

He stared fixedly at her with stunned silence.

"It might help you not go crazy if…if I give you controlled amounts, hopefully." Ruby said with a gulp, although she sounded unsure with herself. "You can get used to it, and hopefully...not go berserk next time."

"Why?"

"…Well, you've never drunk my blood properly before. Just a few drops, right? So, I'm going to allow you to have some more."

"You indisputably wish to offer me your blood?"

Ruby nodded.

Her heart began thumping harder as she watched Alucard gaze back at her steadily, keenly. Then she slid her anxious gaze to the blade of the knife, watching the length of cool steel glimmer under the light of her room, beckoning her to slice herself with the cutting edge. She didn't really want to do it. As much as she was a nurse and accustomed to seeing blood and injuries on other people, she didn't want to cut herself.

But for Alucard…I'm willing.

Ruby raised the knife and -

A grip on her wrist stopped her in mid-action before the blade went slashing down over her skin and she whipped her head up in shock. It was Alucard; he had prevented her. "No," He said quietly, solemnly. "I just want you. You are enough. I do not wish for you to inflict harm unto yourself. I can bestow you all the gifts I desire, but you cannot harm yourself for me."

Ruby blinked wide-eyed, and with his hand loosening around her wrist, she slowly lowered the knife and dropped it back over the table. She inhaled shakily as it clattered over the surface. "But…"

He stepped closer to her and placed a hand on her cheek, stroking her jawline affectionately before using his thumb to brush over her bottom lip. "Love me." He murmured, "Love me forever, Ruby. Can you do that?"

She nodded again. "…Yes."

Alucard brought her into his embrace and captured her lips with his kiss again. This time, she did not resist him either to his delight and let him ravish her bottom lip passionately; she moaned against him as their lips came into heated contact with each other again and again, moulding perfectly. When they broke apart, he grinned at how flustered she was and embraced her tightly once more.

They remained in each other's hold for a few seconds until she pulled away from him slightly. "...Something's been bugging me, Alucard."

"What is it, my bride?"

"About that picture of that man… The supposed Leader of the Black Flame Knights?"

"Yes, what about him?"

"…I wonder what kind of person he is."

Caelum stopped drinking and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand then looked at his hand. Still dirty. He used the length of his arm next and glanced at his sleeve.

Blood.

There was lots and lots of blood.

He glanced down at the dismembered body, then sighed.

He felt like a cannibal.

But he was not one.

He looked human and was forced to hunt down what he was, formerly - No, that was not true. He could have hunted a deer, or any large creature that was warm-blooded. He did not have to attack a human. He didn't have to attack that taxi driver. He had a choice. He didn't need the flesh, he just wanted the blood. Flesh was useless to him. He could have just snuck into those poorly guarded hospitals and stole blood packs. But no, he went straight to slaughter a human. A human he didn't even know. A human, who –

Caelum rifled through the clothes and found the wallet of the taxi driver along with a photograph inside.

A human, who was called Eric Stanton. Aged 45, with a wife and three kids…

…A human who he chopped the head off and then fed on the blood like a monster. It was then he realised he did not leave a body for the family to bury. Caelum picked up the arms and legs he'd severed, just to get to the blood more easily. He could send his victim in bits and pieces, if he really wanted to…

He justified his actions, by graciously reminding himself he'd have turned the man into a ghoul if he had just bitten him, which he didn't want. Ghouls were annoying and generally unpleasant and if he let it roam, then it'd just attack more humans and create more ghouls. Caelum sat, surrounded by nothing but guts and piles of human flesh and bone which he'd left untouched. The truth was, all the humans looked identical to him now. They all looked the same and smelt the same. There was no difference than the woman who served him in the coffee shop than the woman who served him in the clothes store. He wasn't able to distinguish them apart anymore.

Emilia was wrong about him.

There is no such thing as a good vampire.

He closed his eyes…

…and started to laugh.

He did it again.

He destroyed another family.

Caelum didn't used to be like this. Yes, he was a vampire, and he needed blood, but the additional strength and powers meant he could do things no man could ever dream of. There was a time when he loved humans and protected them against his own kind…

…but that was a long time ago.

In this chapter, Alucard reverted to his 'Vlad Tepes' look to see what Ruby would think of him but he didn't release any control restrictions or anything. His fang was also a token of luuuuuuurv lol

And now this story has reached Chapter 20! So here are the 'special features' of today's chapter:

Vampire myth/theories (I made it up):

- The weapons used by Abraham van Helsing etc that were used to defeat Dracula have become 'blessed' to be able to kill vampires with no problem

- Vampire blood can tell the age of a vampire

- Vampire blood can also double the effect. In this chapter, it doubled the lethality of poison

- Vampires can't produce offspring. Their 'children' are the humans they turn into vampires

- Humans turned by Alucard (ie, the brides) along with their victims are specially known as the 'First vampires'.

Furthermore, I decided to add profiles of the OCs of this story. I have recently started doing this for my stories just so people will know who's who and not get confused (and this basically sums up the story, too)

OC Profiles:

The Goodies:

Name: Ruby Ashcroft (originally meant to be called 'Ruby Diamond' lol)

20 yrs old. Alucard's mate and a first year trainee nurse who recently broke her ankle. A reserved, shy and quiet girl. Her parents are Catholic but she is an atheist. She's also a complete and utter dork when it comes to Alucard's affections.

Name: Frankie Morris (it was either that or Chuck)

26 yrs old. An American vampire hunter who inherited the Bowie Knife. Has blonde hair and blue eyes. He is more knowledgeable than practical and described by Ruby as being 'eccentric' and 'a bookish, nerd-ish type'. He was sent by Sir Irons to keep an eye on Alucard and Ruby but is okay with their relationship because he likes to think outside the box.

Name: Joshua Sloan

Minor character. Victor Sloan's son. Has brown hair and green eyes. Although he is 45 yrs old, he still has the mentality of a 15 yr old. He is a benevolent vampire with expert tracking abilities earning his nickname 'Little Sniffer Dog' by Alucard. Likes skateboarding.

The Baddies

Name: Caelum

Major baddie. One of the First Vampires, roughly around 400 yrs old. He looks in his early-twenties and has black hair and red eyes and wears a lot of black in general. He is the President of a corporation called 'Oracle' and leader of the Black Flame Knights; he gave Joshua a 'cure' which turned out to be poison. The vampires who follow him are known as the 'Legion'. A concept picture of him is up on my deviantart (although it doesn't really fit him).

Name: Luther

Minor baddie. Age unknown, but also looks in his early-twenties. Caelum's trump card. His agility makes up for his lack of strength. He is an albino, with white hair and pink eyes. He has a disfigured mouth (which means he cannot suck blood or speak) but when his mouth is closed he looks like an ordinary man. A picture of him is also up on my deviantart.

Name: Ermenrich (or Ermen for short)

Minor baddie. One of Caelum's henchmen. Age unknown. Big and brawny but speaks politely; he is dark-haired with brown eyes. He is in charge of finding participants for the tournament. He is stronger than Luther but slower.

The others:

Name: Samuel and Dahlia Ashcroft

Ruby's parents. Samuel holds a strong disdain for his daughter after she ran away; but they did get along when Ruby was really young. Dahlia is more caring but is helpless in making amends to their relationship.

Name: Emilia

A girl who appeared in Caelum's memory-dream. He saved her 'when the bombs hit'

Name: Mary

A mysterious woman who was once Ruby's carer when she was younger.
