Surrender to Desire

(aka Attack of the Fake Ruby)

Oracle Corporation. Caelum's room.

When he arrived home, he slipped into his room as quietly as possible and rid himself of his jacket, then turned round to see Ermen, who had his arms folded, eyeing him warily. "Where did you go?"

Caelum glanced down at himself. He was drenched with rain and patches of dirt and blood. Not his own, of course. He began to undo his tie, hanging his coat up on the hook, leaving himself in his waistcoat. "I went hunting. Do I have to tell you where I go every time I want to go out?"

"…No, but I thought you said hunting was beneath you. If Emilia saw you the way you are now, she'd be upset."

He stopped in his pace.

In a matter of seconds, Ermen was hurled off his feet and thrown against the far wall that he smashed through the wall and into the room next door. Luther was inside, having been meditating on the bed before Ermen arrived unannounced; the albino vampire opened his eyes immediately and glanced over, to see Ermen lying amongst the debris, now pinned down to the ground by a foot over his throat. Astonished, Ermen looked up to see Caelum; his face was vivid, reddening with fury, his lips curled into a brutal snarl.

"Don't you dare use Emilia on me!" He roared, "You are not fit to speak her name nor think it – mention her again, and I'll kill you."

As Caelum raised his arm, Luther got off the bed and grabbed onto his sleeve, shaking his head. Caelum turned to the albino, who shook his head even vigorously to get his message across. Growling under his breath, Caelum then lifted his foot off Ermen's throat; he rubbed at his neck, then hastily moved to one knee and lowered his head.

"Forgive me, sir. I'm terribly sorry."

Caelum's mouth moved. At first, he considered apologising, but then he clenched his fist and turned away. "…What else do you have to report?"

"Alexander Anderson has left Britain."

"That's not good. He was meant to keep us off Hellsing's trail for a little longer."

"Joshua Sloan has joined Hellsing." Ermen added. "He also gave them the poison. I really don't understand exactly what it is you are trying to accomplish here, sir."

Caelum returned into his room through the broken wall, sauntered to his desk and crossed his legs as he sat on his swivel chair, rifling through some boxes that were propped up. "You'll see soon enough. It seems Ruby Ashcroft has escaped from another life-threatening ordeal with barely a scratch. What a lucky girl."

While Luther gazed at his broken wall before rolling his eyes, Ermen followed Caelum back into the room. "…I don't understand how you can be so calm about this, sir. Oracle won't last long if you keep this up."

"We'll be fine." The president reassured, "I already have the kukri knife, and now the owner of the Bowie knife has conveniently come to Britain, too. That vampire hunter has no idea what he's step his foot into. All we need to do now is get that, and then get Abraham van Helsing's stake and cross." Wringing his hands together, a maniacal grin spread over his features quickly. "Everything's falling into place. Now we just need the final piece to put my plan into action."

"Final piece?"

"Alucard's mate. She is the key."

"Of course, sir."

Caelum turned to Ermen and added, "But I need another distraction since Anderson didn't last as long as I hoped, Ermen. I trust you to think of something for me."

"Yes, sir. I'll find Nadia. She'll know what to do."

The next morning at Hellsing, Ruby awoke to remember that she had a hospital appointment in the afternoon. However, what happened during yesterday's meeting at the lab lingered on her mind; Alucard departed to Integra's office along with Morris, Seras, and possibly Joshua. What they had discussed hadn't been explained to her. She couldn't help but feel a little left out. Ruby left her room after changing; Integra had also ordered another chauffeured car to pick her up.

Integra recommended her not to return to a home where she would be living alone, in case anything else happened. Ruby sighed; she only moved into the apartment for a very short time and had enjoyed her privacy and the feeling of freedom. Also, Alucard said he'd requested permission to often visit her – and now all that seemed to have been in vain for she'd decided to stay at her parents. She grabbed Alucard's fang and slipped it into her pocket, then left her room to see the vampire outside; he had been waiting for her, which surprised her, since she recounted the many times she woke up to see him lying beside her on the bed, watching her stir awake.

"Alucard?" She said, but he grabbed her and hauled her into his arms, before he smashed his lips against hers, stealing a quick, but deep, sensual kiss; her brain turned to mush from the action and when he let go, she blinked at him wide-eyed, her cheeks reddening when he licked his lips.

"Delicious." He murmured, and her heartbeat soared to an astronomical rate.

"W-What was that for?"

"Are my affections far too much for you to handle?"

"N-n-no, but…" She cringed, when her response only caused his smirk to widen and his hand slipped down her backside, palming her rear. She squeaked in response, leaping up slightly as he chuckled. She mumbled, "…Are you heading out?"

"Police Girl and I are going on a hunt, yes. It shouldn't take long." He took her hand and brushed his lips over her knuckles, "You needn't worry, I will return for you, my love."

Her heart made a frantic lurch against her ribs. Alucard was a real smooth-talker, a charmer, a genuine ladies man. He was also aware of that all too well, and he basked in it with a much foreseeable smugness. She did not want him to know he'd charmed the pants off her. First, he dipped her into a kiss, then he'd kissed her hand and called her 'my love'. It wouldn't be surprising if she fainted in his arms with a hand over her forehead from his wooing overkill. But she didn't. She managed to stand her ground.

"My Master has prepared a car for you to return home."

"Great, but I'm thinking of moving out of the apartment. It'll be safer if I go back to live with my mum and dad. I'm going to start packing today when I get back."

"From your hospital appointment."

"Yep."

"And when is that?"

"Half four. I'll probably be back by half five or six. It's just a check-up."

"I shall offer you my assistance when I return."

"Nah, it's okay. I'm fine, I'll ask Gwen for help or something."

He gave her a long look, then smirked, pressed his lips on her forehead and groped her again. When she finally came to her senses, Alucard was already gone. Somehow, she had the feeling that Alucard might pop up in her house regardless, maybe around half 5, as she blurted out so gladly without thinking twice. She glanced around, but the hall was completely devoid of his presence. She frowned inwardly that he'd left her like this, needy and wanting. Ruby shook her head to clear away such thoughts, then sighed…but she could not deny it; she was falling for Alucard, hard.

Ruby continued downstairs and entered a long corridor that would supposedly lead her to the guest's courtyard where the car would be waiting for her.

However, she caught sight of something silvery, something shining and glimmering proudly in a glass display cabinet in the far end of one of the rooms she had limped past. Ruby stopped, her eyes fixed on the elaborate silver cross and stake that were propped up on a cushion of red velvet and gold embroidery. She glanced around, but there was no-one inside the room. Had someone accidentally left the door unlocked?

She gulped as she noticed the placard on the door said 'PRIVATE: DO NOT ENTER'; however, she found herself disobeying that rule on the door and hopped in, her short attention span, outlandish curiosity and blue eyes captivated by the beautiful, shimmering cross. It was big, much bigger than the average cross that would be seen attached to a necklace…it was perhaps the length of her arm…it was exquisite…

As she approached the glass cabinet, she looked around and realised it was a treasure room of some sort. Not only were the silver cross and stake on display, but there were other various artefacts, ranging from beautifully sculpted knives, exotic bows and quivers of arrows, spearheads and axes. What was this extravagant display of medieval weaponry? Curiously, Ruby reached a hand forwards to the cross until…

"Careful; you don't want to trigger security."

Ruby gasped and pulled back, then caught sight of three sets of thin, red, laser beams surrounding the glass cabinet.

"I see you have found my ancestor's stake and silver cross." Integra said; she was standing in the doorway. Immediately, Ruby began babbling out her apologies and excuses for coming into the room although clearly knowing that she was not allowed to. Integra chuckled, as Ruby bowed and bowed relentlessly. "It's alright, Miss Ashcroft." She assured the girl, but she led the stray sheep away from the priceless artefacts back to the corridor, closed the door behind them and locked it with the key from her pocket. Morris must have been in here earlier for research and forgot to lock it.

"That stake and cross on display… it's not real, is it?"

Integra seemed surprised Ruby would ask her that question. "…It is. It is the exact silver cross and stake my ancestor used to defeat Dracula. My father put it up here for display. Personally, I requested he put it away somewhere safer and out of reach, but my father was keen to leave it behind the doors of a glass cabinet to entertain the guests."

Ruby pondered briefly. It seemed to be in pristine condition for something that was at least a hundred years old. Items like those deserved to be put in a museum, she thought. Did that stake really stab Alucard all those years ago?

Integra helped lead her out of the corridor to the courtyard; Ruby thanked the Director and Walter for their splendid hospitality, bid farewell to Seras and Mr Morris for the time being, and then she ruffled Joshua's hair and told him to train hard and that she would come visit some time.

The dracul watched her despondently from the second storey window of the games room as she piled into the car and was driven off.

"I think he's taken a liking to her." Morris said; he and Seras passed the corridor carrying equipment to the storeroom, at the same time catching an eyeful of Joshua gazing outside the window. "Maybe someday, when he grows stronger, he'll want to become Miss Ashcroft's protector."

Seras turned to him in surprise. "What do you mean, Mr Morris?"

"I came across a few interesting cases during my travels," He replied, "Some vampires meet humans which they take a strong penchant to, and can swear fealty to them as a guardian or servant. They will often recognise this human as their potential 'Master', much like how Mr Alucard is to Integra, and vice versa. You see, when news spread, it became an interesting worldwide phenomenal for benevolent vampires to find a human master."

Later.

"Ruby Ashcroft?"

A nurse had called her in to see the doctor. Ruby put down the lipgloss she had been using and slipped it into her bag along with her pocket mirror, and picked up her crutches.

"Follow me, please." She said, smiling at Ruby as she held her clipboard under one arm. The nurse was pretty, her golden-blonde hair contrasting deeply with her blue scrubs. "And how are you today, Miss Ashcroft?"

Ruby trailed after the nurse as requested. "I'm good. I got a lift to the hospital so it wasn't hard coming in or anything." They took a few twisting turns down numerous corridors, far away from the main public waiting area, before the nurse finally stopped outside a door.

"In here, please. The doctor will be here with you shortly."

"Thanks." Ruby hobbled into the room as soon as the nurse opened the door for her. However, as soon as she glanced to the right, she saw a huge cupboard with supplies and cleaning equipment. She realised the room the nurse had led her into was, in fact, a storeroom. "Hey, wait a minute – "

She was cut off when a blow slammed into the back of her neck.

…

When Ruby woke up, she was lying on the ground. Her wrists, ankles and arms were also tied together by rope. A lone briefcase sat a distance away from her. She remembered that Alucard told her she would occasionally 'face mortal peril'. Maybe they would become the norm from now on. However, what was worse was that she had been stripped to her underwear. This was…new. Shivering, she glanced up to see the same nurse from before pacing up and down the room restlessly, dressed in Ruby's clothes.

The nurse had her back to her with Ruby's phone pressed against her ear. "What? I'm not allowed to bite her? But why? It's easier that way!" She exclaimed angrily, but not loud enough to catch the attention of all hospital staff, while Ruby wriggled and inched around, trying to get free. "Alright, fine." The nurse sighed, then hung up. She promptly turned round after shoving the phone back into her pocket and Ruby squeaked. "Oh, you've woken up."

"Who are you and what do you want with me?"

However, the nurse ignored her and opened the briefcase in the corner, revealing a bloodpack and transfusion set, including needles, and IV Tube. Ruby gawked in horror as the nurse in Ruby's clothes began to set it up; what was going on? What was –

"Hold still." The nurse pulled out a roll of duct tape, snipped off a long piece and pressed it over her mouth.

Ruby screamed and yelled but it was no use; she shook her head as the nurse then turned to the briefcase, then neared her with the needle, which was attached to a long, thin catheter. No, no, no, she was NOT going to stick that into her. Ruby thrashed around but the nurse held her down using one arm with ridiculous strength and pushed up her sleeve. The nurse stuck the needle into her own arm, and then the other corresponding needle was thrust into Ruby's arm in seconds and she yelped.

Blood shot out and into the catheter, turning the clear plastic tube into a thick, deep, carmine colour. Ruby watched the blood transfusion in horror until the needle was suddenly pried out of her arm. The nurse stood up, and Ruby stared wide-eyed as the nurse's features began to erode away. Her blonde hair began to turn….brown…. Ruby's shade of brown…and her eyes…the nurse's eyes turned blue and…

Ruby stared at her doppelganger in front of her in disbelief. She looks exactly like me! No, she IS me? How is that even possible?

Fake Ruby grinned down at her and reached over for her backpack and crutches. "And if you excuse me," She said, in Ruby's voice; then the double reached into the bag and took out Ruby's lipgloss and smeared some over her lips. "…I have a date with the No-Life King."

….

Alucard drifted into Ruby's apartment but did not see any sign of her despite her shoes and crutches propped up near the front door. He'd finished his vampire hunt with Police Girl and Morris; now that Morris was with them, hunts were completed at a faster rate than before.

"Ruby?" He called.

A figure slinked into the doorway of the room and he turned round. There was Ruby, leaning against the doorframe to her bedroom, in the flimsy, silky agent provocateur nightdress he had wanted her to wear not too long ago one fateful night. The dress itself was a vision… seeing her wear it was an eyeful. He found himself staring at the length of her legs. The dress exposed a lot of flesh…a lot of flesh he had wanted to see but flesh which she routinely kept covered up by those high-collared cashmere sweaters and hooded black tops she wore. The dress pushed her cleavage into view, highlighted by a fluffy collar around her neck. Even her hair was curled, and she'd applied some lipgloss on her usually light pink lips as she smiled at him.

"…Ruby… You're…" He began, as she strode up to him and draped her arms around his neck.

"Do you like it?" She reached up to him, and began kissing the side of his neck.

He raised an eyebrow; he'd been around Ruby too long to know that this was not Ruby. She looked like her and smelled like her, but it was not her…

Meanwhile, back at the hospital…

"Ruby? …Ruby? Wake up!"

Ruby awoke groggily in the storeroom to see Gwen with her hands on her shoulders, shaking her. She sat up abruptly, looking around. The piece of duct tape had vanished from her mouth; Gwen must've pulled it off, and Ruby breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened to you? And why are you in your underwear?" Gwen untied her and helped her sit up before wrapping a thin blanket around her.

"…I...I don't know...What…what are you doing here, Gwen?" Ruby croaked out, shivering and trembling.

"Thank god I found you. I was working a shift and then I saw you come in but you had crutches. I'm sorry, I checked your record, I mean…you never told me you broke your foot. It said you had a check-up in Radiotherapy but you went with that nurse to a different department so I thought that was kind of weird. Then I saw you leave this room and I said 'Hi' but you gave me this really dirty look, and then I opened this door and – "

"You found me, lying on the floor and tied up."

"Yeah. Do you have a twin sister you never told me about?" Gwen asked, "...Is she evil?"

"Huh? Oh. Uh…yeah, she's evil."

"I knew it!"

Ruby suddenly jolted upright. The nurse. She stole Ruby's clothes and blood and then somehow, she managed to transform into Ruby. The nurse was a…a… Ruby had no idea what she was, but she knew she was no good and Ruby had to do something. She glanced around the storeroom; that was right - the nurse stole her bag, her crutches, her phone… "Gwen, gimme your phone. I need to make a call."

"Uh...Sure."

Ruby took the phone and quickly dialled Hellsing. It was a godsend Integra had given her the number to her office before Ruby left in case of emergency, and it was a godsend Ruby had decided to memorise it, too. She waited impatiently for someone to pick up. "Come on come on come on somebody pick up damn it!" And then -

"Good afternoon, Hellsing Front Office, Walter speaking, how may I help you?"

She was about to burst into tears of joy from the sound of his voice. "Walter!" She screamed down the phone, sniffling slightly.

"Ah, Miss Ashcroft. How may I help you?"

"Walter help me I think there's a shapeshifter vampire she attacked me and stole all my stuff and now she's taken my form and gone after Alucard!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Ashcroft, you have to speak a little slowly."

Ruby was breathing heavily, panic-stricken. "I was attacked by this…this…va – I mean, person, who took my blood and then she-she turned herself to look like me, turned into me, and now she's gone after Alucard!" She exclaimed exasperatedly.

"Oh my. I see. I will alert Sir Integra immediately. Thank you for calling."

"W-Wait! What do…What do I do? How can I help?"

"Stay right where you are now. The Director will contact Alucard right away and tell him."

"O-Okay. T-thank you, Walter."

"You are welcome, Miss Ashcroft. Have a good day." said Walter, before the phone went dead. Ruby blinked, listening to the flat dial tone. Have a good day?That was it? She felt like nothing had been done, despite Walter's reassurance. She shook her head. No, she didn't want to stay here. She had to see what was going on. She tried to work out where the Fake Ruby might head off…

She gasped. My house! Oh shit, she's stolen all my stuff. She'll find the apartment for sure… And Alucard said he'll come over in a few hours. Hell, maybe he's already there.

"Uh…Ruby? What was all that about?"

Remembering that she had been in Gwen's presence the entire time, she blushed and quickly deleted the Hellsing number off Gwen's call log and grabbed her friend by the arm. "Gwen, what time is it?"

"Er…it's about five thirty."

"Oh god!"

"What?"

"Alucard should be at my apartment! I need you to drive me there NOW. I'll give the directions. Please, Gwen."

"…well, I did just finish work and I…Wait…Tell me what's going on first."

Ruby swallowed down, but then she found herself babbling out, "Okay, I know this might sound totally crazy to you, but… I just got attacked by this woman who stole my clothes and my lipgloss and my blood and then turned herself to look EXACTLY like me. And now she's going after Alucard as me."

"Your evil twin's trying to steal your boyfriend?" She stood up immediately, and turned to Ruby before grabbing her hand and hauling her up to stand. "Come on, let's nail this bitch!"

8 minutes, 34 seconds later.

Gwen dropped Ruby off at the apartment complex; never had there been a car journey consisting of so much car-dodging, lane-jumping, road rage, horn-honking, middle-finger-extending and red-traffic-light-ignoring in a lifetime. The car had also been chugging down the road at a speed akin to 150 mph, and Ruby clambered out once they arrived, her legs wobbling and shaky. She managed to limp over to the door as Gwen yelled 'Good luck', and she threw open the door, then stared at the spiralling staircase awaiting her that suddenly looked like the path to Mt Everest.

Grumbling, Ruby scaled the stairs and arrived at her corridor. She saw Munroe step out of his apartment, his door still open, and he turned to her. He gave her a look as he recalled how she sic'ed her gigantic, eight-eyed dog on him, but he said, out of courtesy, "Good after – "

"GET OUTTA MY WAY!"

She literally shoved him back inside his house before she hastily unlocked the door to her apartment, fearing the worst. She stared at the empty living room then nervously gazed at the bedroom. Ruby tiptoed over and peering through the small crack of the door into the room, she cocked her head to the side. There was Fake Ruby and Alucard – they hadn't noticed her yet, it seemed.

Wow, is that how I look from behind? She thought, before her eyes widened promptly. What the…? SHE'S STRADDLING HIM? And he…he's not doing anything?

In the room, and Alucard was saying, "I must applaud you for your desperate, vain attempt and effort to seduce me whilst under the guise of my mate. Explain to me why you look exactly like my mate, or else you will force my hand."

Fake Ruby let out an astonished gasp and glanced down; she slowly got off him, the nozzle of the Casull was pressed into her stomach. She sat back up in the bed and slipped off, standing. "Just don't forget what you are doing here, Alucard." The Fake Ruby spat at him as she held her arms up in defeat, "If you shoot me, you're killing the very image of your mate. For all you know, I could be her. I could take her place, if you let me. There is no catch; I'm compliant, I look like her, I smell like her…I can offer you comfort. I'll pleasure you for all eternity…"

Back outside and Real Ruby's mouth dropped to the ground in horror; her nails dug into the doorframe, splinters were sent flying. She didn't know what to do – confront her double (although she could get killed)? Or should she still continue watching this macabre situation? However, Alucard merely smirked at the suggestion, his lips tugging upwards into a cruel sneer.

Fake Ruby frowned. "What's so funny?"

"You do not ask to become my bride." He replied, "I choose who I want. And you are not worthy. You are not even worthy to speak her name. She is not a whore like you. She does not give into me so easily, even when I wooed her by all means that would have left most women grovelling at my feet. No, in fact, she was impervious to everything I had and could offer to her. There is a barrier around her, which I enjoyed uncovering brick by brick over time. That is what I admire about her. She is not 'compliant', as you describe yourself. She is a human, yes, but thrilling and enticing, and stubborn to the very end. What can I say? I enjoy a good hunt."

"Y-You bastard!"

"Oh, yes, and Ruby is…unpredictable. You may look like her, and you may smell like her…but you will never take her place in my heart."

"Unpredictable? What are you talk – " Fake Ruby was interrupted by a hand tapping her on her shoulder from behind. She turned round and -

WHAM!

A clenched fist collided with her nose and Fake Ruby blinked, blood spurting from both nostrils; however, the blow was not enough to send her careening. And there stood Real Ruby, angry and fuming, shaking her aching, bloody knuckles; but then she was suddenly hopping on the spot on one foot, clutching her reddening hand, doubling over on her front, "Oooowwww! That freaking hurt! FUCK!"

Alucard's smirk only widened considerably in response as he saw Real Ruby hop around in agony. "Ruby, there you are."

Real Ruby whipped her head to him, her eyebrows knitted with fury. "What the hell, Alucard?" She roared angrily, "What. The. HELL?"

While Alucard watched with slight amusement, Fake Ruby's fist clenched. "Bitch. I thought I left you at the hospital!" She screamed at Real Ruby, and she was about to lunge at her but she was apprehended by Alucard squeezing the trigger of the Casull. Real Ruby screamed and squatted down, away from the nozzle of the gun.

Fake Ruby avoided the bullet and landed back on the floor at the edge of the bed on all fours, snarling. Her face began contorting, twisting into a perverted, feral image of her. Elongated fangs protruded from her gaping mouth and a thick, snake-like tongue flicked out. She hissed as she crawled backwards on her haunches as Alucard fired another shot, this time, shooting the foot of Ruby's bed to oblivion. The creature sprang away and Ruby's wardrobe paid the price as Alucard pulled the trigger.

"Ahhh! Make her stop!" Real Ruby cried out as her pillow exploded into a puff of cotton next. He was destroying her furniture! Panicking, she could only huddle in a corner as Alucard continued firing, "Stop! Stop it!"

Fake Ruby made a frantic escape to the living room and Alucard pursued; Real Ruby was too busy mourning over her destroyed room to follow. She would be safer where she was anyway. He followed Fake Ruby and shot off her left leg before she could run to the door. She stumbled to the ground, clutching at her knee, where the missing limb should be, but smirked up at him as he approached her.

She looked up at him and her horrifying features eroded, returning to normal, returning to Ruby's face, and she began giggling, "…Is this what makes you hot?" With a curled fist, he punched her squarely across the face and she fell to the ground. She spat out some blood, still giggling loudly. The blood dripping from the corner of her lips vanished into her skin like ink on tissue. Almost at once, she began moaning piteously when he raised an eyebrow. "Alucard, please don't do this to me. I'm your mate."

"You are not my mate."

Her appearance turned venomous immediately. "I hate you." She snarled out all of a sudden. The most disturbing thing was that she sounded exactly like Ruby. "You tried to kill me that day, and I broke my ankle. Don't you know? I might become a cripple. I might not be able to walk anymore! I might not be able to complete my nursing degree! I might have to repeat First year again because of you! And you got me kidnapped by that Alexander Anderson. I almost drowned!" Then she threw her head back and laughed, "You'll end up getting me killed, you know. You won't mean it, but you will. Bad people will go after me. They know who I am. They know I'm your mate and they'll use me to get to you. They'll torture me and rape me and kill me and fuck my dead body right in front of you and you'll have no-one to blame but yourself!"

He knew what she was trying to do. Reverse psychology or whatever. "I want a name."

She stopped laughing then. "I'm not saying a word, sweetie."

He shot off her other leg and blood tendrils squirmed out, wriggling like maggots; the wound was trying to repair itself. Blood tears began oozing from the corner of her eyes. "Damn, they weren't kidding when they said you were scary as fuck."

The nozzle was pressed against her temple. "A name. Now."

She remained silent.

He aimed the Casull at her arm and pulled the trigger. Howling in agony, she clutched at the bleeding stump and turned to him, furious. "…Caelum." came her bitter response. "His name is Caelum. But I'm not telling you anymore! Go on! Shoot my other arm off! Shoot me in the head! I won't tell you anything!"

He slid the Casull into her mouth and her eyes widened.

BAM!

Alucard watched her head explode and splash onto the furniture and walls, and her body collapsed over the ground in a pool of blood, her fingers still twitching. Then, her body began to liquefy, dissolving into nothing but blood.

Ruby looked up when she heard a loud gunshot and a scream. Her scream. It was a horrible noise. Panting in short, quirky breaths, Ruby listened, hearing the scream echo around the room before gradually fading away. She shivered all over and swallowed down the lump in her throat. When she deemed it safe, she stepped out of her bedroom and into the lounge; her jaw dropped. It was a mess; blood and guts everywhere. A fluffy collar and a piece of pink, stringy flesh was hung over the corner of her coffee table. The smell was unbearable. She glanced around her tarnished lounge, to see nothing but a pool of blood on the floorboards and an Agent Provocateur nightdress on the floor amongst the mess.

And Alucard was standing with his back to her.

"…You killed her?" Ruby asked.

"I made no promise of letting her go."

Ruby blinked at him in confusion as he turned round. "But she LOOKED like me. You just killed someone who looked like me. And you destroyed my house."

"I did not 'kill' you, Ruby." He said, as he withdrew his Casull and slipped it into his coat safely. "…If I killed you, then you would not be standing in front of me, utterly bewildered yet unharmed."

"…I don't mean it that way. You killed someone who looked like me, and you didn't even flinch."

Alucard gazed steadily at her. She couldn't look at him in the eye and turned away, back to the gooey mess that had once been Fake Ruby. "What are you trying to say." He replied; it didn't sound like a question at all. No, in fact, she knew that tone all too well. It meant he had no desire to continue on with this conversation anymore.

Ruby's lip wobbled, then she pointed to the red goop on the floor. "I'm not cleaning that up. I'm not cleaning me up." She said.

She was not going to let this go. He grabbed her wrist and yanked her up against him, "She was not you."

However, she merely averted her attention to the bloodstained nightdress. "Urgh, it's all ruined."

"Then I will get you a new one."

"I don't want a new one."

The atmosphere was no doubt atrocious and needed a change. A steely silence hung in the air. The blood all over the floor and on the wall and sofa began to seep under his soles and into him. Was he absorbing the blood? "Give me your hand." He said, but she didn't comply. He reached for her himself but she pulled away from him.

"No!" She wailed, sniffling slightly, "Not when you let her slobber all over you. I mean, you honestly thought she was me?"

"Of course not."

"Then why did you let her crawl all over you and…"

He let out a disgruntled noise and turned away. "I had to determine what she was."

"Well, it looked like you enjoyed it immensely from where I was watching."

Alucard grasped her by the shoulders gently and turned her round to face him, "…Yet, I meant every word I said. No-one will take your place in my heart, Ruby."

She gazed at him with half-lidded eyes. "You know, I think I liked it better when you were hulking all over me and demanding me to kiss you."

He smirked and she felt the frantic urge to wipe it off his unreasonably handsome face. "Is that true?"

"…And if I remember correctly, you don't have a heart." She crossed her arms and turned away again, her back to him.

"…Ruby…" His voice lingered in her ear as he wrapped his arms around her from behind. He leaned into her and she stumbled forwards but managed to stand; she turned slightly to see that his eyes were closed, and he was rubbing himself against her.

He's acting like a cat, she thought, biting down on her lip. No! No, I can't forgive him so easily...Not this time… "It won't work. I'm angry."

"No, you are jealous."

"No, I'm angry. I'm furious. Just... Just let me cool off."

"You should be well aware by now that I desire no other woman but you." He purred in her ear, his arms tightening around her. "I knew you were unpredictable, but assaulting a vampire wasn't what I had in mind."

"You're such a cocky ba – " Ruby was interrupted by Alucard pressing his lips over hers.

She didn't understand. She felt conflicted. She'd seen Alucard brutally kill, impale and maim at the vampire bar and at the hospital, but as a lover, he would treat her with so much care and affection…he'd been so gentle and passionate and he said so many sweet words to her. How was he capable of doing such contradictory things? She admitted she was attracted to him despite all that. It was almost…innate, a dangerous instinct, a dangerous desire. A dark desire. Whenever he kissed her, she always melted in his embrace, wanting more. Was this even…healthy?

He pulled away with a devilish grin, "And what was that uncouth word you were about to call me?" He purred, and she flushed. "For using such language, I'm going to have to punish you."

"Well, I-I'm going to punish you too."

"I look forward to it." He replied, "My 'punishment'; how exhilarating."

"You sick – " Again, she was apprehended by Alucard claiming her lips with his but she managed to wriggle away. "Don't think you can just kiss me and expect everything to be peachy! I'm still angry as to why you let her do whatever she was doing to you back there in the bedroom - Ohhhhh, I get it now. It was ALL a dream come true, wasn't it? It was a DREAM COME TRUE."

His mood altered in a split second. Suddenly, Alucard's grip on her tightened and she found herself staring into the eyes of a very, very, very irate vampire. His garnet eyes blazing, he uttered darkly at her, "It sickens me that you think of me that way. Dream? You are sorely mistaken. I could take you right here and now. On the bed, on the floor, the bathroom, your sofa, your living room. I'll touch you all night, and you will beg for me to be inside you. I'll make you scream my name out over and over again."

"D-Don't say those t-things!" She snapped wobbly, obviously affected by his words. However, she swallowed down and croaked, "Alright then. Fine. Just fine."

He watched as she started to remove the top she'd borrowed from Gwen. She pulled it over her head and then threw it to the ground, her hair all over her face. She tried to remove her trousers, but when the belt got caught, she screamed a colourful curse and left it the way it was, then stormed up to him, stopping directly in front of him mere millimetres away. "If that's what you want, then go on right ahead! Be my guest! I'm sick of it too! I'm sick and tired of this tension between us! So, I'm not going to do anything. I won't do anything. I won't scream, I won't hit you, I won't slap or kick you - Nothing. None of that. Let's just get it over with and – "

She was interrupted by Alucard seizing her arms and she found herself flung over the bed.

Ruby squeaked, as he climbed on top of her and began to unfasten her belt which she had difficulty with. Her jeans were undone in seconds and yanked down to her ankles; he pressed his lips against hers in a deep kiss and she found herself resisting despite everything she had just said, her legs kicking, yet her futile struggle came to an end when he kissed her until she was senseless. He completely descended himself upon her; no hands pinning her wrists or her sides. He simply let himself on top of her and nudged her legs apart with his knees before he lifted her legs to wrap around his waist. Ruby managed to pull away slightly, and his lips found her neck. She swallowed, as each sensual nibble on her nape suddenly made her achy and needy for him. She wiggled under his grip, causing him to groan.

He moved to her lips and kissed her harder. Deeper. She moaned into his mouth, their lips meeting each other urgently and frantically as he moved to hold her possessively in his arms. Passion was blazing within them, lust spiking as their bodies writhed together on the bed. He let his fingers roam underneath her upper thigh as she dug her fingers into his hair, bringing their faces closer. He tried to deduce what had just happened; they were having an argument; she was angry… he got angry…then she began taking off her clothes to prove some kind of point which he could no longer remember…then everything went…gauzy, and now this was happening…

It didn't matter. Nothing mattered, except this. His hands were excitedly caressing her stomach and circling her waist; she surrendered to his touch just as he reached a hand underneath the front of her bra and ripped the flimsy garment off her. She gasped as her breasts spilled out, her face flushing brilliantly when he reached down, his mouth clamping over one exposed nipple. She inadvertently let out a sheer, helpless moan, watching him suckle and lick hungrily at the bud while his hand groped at her other breast, his fingers squeezing her flesh in torturous motions.

"A-Alucard…" She stammered out, squeezing her eyes shut as she threw her head to the side, "…wh-what are you doing…"

Her breath left her throat as he pulled away, to kiss down the middle of her breasts to her stomach, and then he slipped his hands under her panties, which were surprisingly soaked right through the thin material. "You're so wet." He growled, as he rubbed over that particular sensitive spot, making her cry and moan weakly. "Shall I relieve you?"

Another feeble moan escaped her lips when he deliberately thrust against her body; his shaft was bulging in the material of his pants, making its presence known against her inner thigh and she twitched, swallowing down that growing lump in her throat. She managed to grasp that ounce of control that was dying to wither away from the amount of pleasure building inside her, as his fingers hooked onto the sides of her panties and began to pull them down, and Ruby re-opened her eyes, then vigorously shook her head and turned away, clamping her legs together.

"No?" He bit out, "Are you sure?"

He spread her legs again, then ground against her wet panties in a teasing motion and her eyes widened. "A-ah! No, don't, I don't…" She left her sentence trailing, as his hungry lips claimed hers once more as he delivered another well-timed thrust that had her spiralling over the edge, forcing her to gasp into his mouth. "Oh god, don't stop – "

"Don't intend to." He grunted, as he rocked his hips once more that she was panting.

She clutched and clawed at his shoulders, her toes curling as he grasped her breasts, his thumb brushing against the hardening tips. Her mind went numb and dizzy and he watched her with delight, watch her twist and squirm uncontrollably while she moaned his name out as he thrust against her on the bed. His fangs were threatening to extend as his eyes landed on the glistening sweat on her porcelain throat; the desire to bite her, the urge to sink his fangs into her and claim her blood haunted his mind - he attempted to distract himself by focusing on her lips, trying to relish the feel of her fingers raking over his back. He groaned as their lips clashed together continuously; if he lost control now, he might end up ripping out her throat.

He let go of her, fumbling with his slacks, desperate to shove himself inside her with all his strength. He was aching, heavy with a need for release. But then the realisation hit and he groaned; Ruby was still inconveniently human, and a virgin nonetheless. What a horrible combination. He averted his attention from his pants and yanked her head back, revealing much of her inviting neck to him. Unaware of what he was about to do, she closed her eyes as she felt his cold, quick breaths on her neck; no, she wanted this as much as he did. She was moaning pleadingly as he brushed her hair back, his tongue gliding in teasing, agonising strokes from the middle of her throat all the way up to the side of her face as his other hand worked hard in between her legs. He couldn't hold it back any longer; Alucard buried his face into her neck as his fangs lengthened and –

"No!"

He re-opened his eyes to see that Ruby had now slapped a hand over her neck, blocking him.

"I-I'm not ready for that. Anything but that..."

Alucard drew in a frustrated hiss at her rejection. "Your body tells me otherwise. It must be now." He growled. "I want you, Ruby. You want me too. Don't deny it. You are ready; I can smell your arousal. You will make a wonderful bride."

She shook her head furiously but he wasn't having any of it. Alucard swooped down on her again and she tried to push him away as his lips smashed against hers thoroughly, but then he withdrew immediately, a hand to his lip where a tiny dot of his blood began to bubble out.

"You bit me."

Indeed she had. She had bit him, with her little human teeth, and he was bleeding. A human had bit him. Not the other way round. Ruby quickly untangled herself from under him and rolled off the bed; she grabbed her clothes that had been dumped to the floor and quickly began to redress. Go after her, his mind screamed at him, but that would mean he would be forcing her; and he was already at his worst, maddened and crazed with lust for her, and he groaned when he grasped the fact that he was on the verge of forcing himself onto her, which he didn't want.

"Ruby." Alucard called after her, but she was already limping out of the room. He grinded his fangs together in fury and belted out a roar of frustration, his fists clenching as he could do nothing but watch his coveted mate flee from him.
