You Murderer

It had started to rain.

Ruby felt the wheels of the van go over another bump; she'd been piled on top of other semi-conscious girls from the bar like sacks; another girl was piled over her too. She could hear the rain battering the sides of the van as the van sped through the night. Her breathing was shallow, as she lay helpless, but she lifted her head up slightly to look up at the driver, look at the screen wipers, following their hypnotic gliding over the windscreen. She could hear the radio, but the voices were just eerie whispers and murmurs. The van felt cramped and a burnt, bitter smell lingered in the atmosphere. Mary sat on one of the unoccupied spaces of the van with them, keeping them still and lifting them back up whenever they would fall out of their positions.

"…A…Alucard…" Ruby muttered out deliriously, "…Alucard…"

Where was she being taken to? And where was Alucard? The fact that she was being kidnapped and taken away to some unknown location, perhaps never to see her parents or friends ever again scared her and she sniffled meekly. Maybe she'd never see Alucard again, either.

However, the van gradually came to a slow stop. The radio was still blaring; he revved the engine and twisted the key but the car continued to stall. They had stopped in a lone road, outside the motorway. Mary got up and out of her seat, half standing, half-squatting in the cramped space, careful not to hit her head on the ceiling of the van, "What happened? Why has the van stopped?"

Her question was answered when he tried to start the van. The engine chugged but nothing happened.

The driver turned away from the wheel to her, "I don't know. Stay here, I'm going to go out and check the – " He was interrupted when something landed on the roof of the van, rocking the vehicle from side to side."What was that?"

Footsteps could be heard on the roof of the van; they were heavy and weighted, and suddenly, a hand smashed through the window, grabbing the man by the neck. Screaming, he was dragged out and onto the roof in seconds, kicking and flailing. There was the sound of bones snapping and something like fabric tearing, and blood began leaking down the roof of the van, dripping down all the windows.

Mary gasped, watching the windscreen wipers swish away at a flood of blood leaking down from the top, followed by what seemed to be a long, fleshy ribbon of intestines. There was a loud 'thump' and she screamed loudly, as the legless body of the driver was thrown on the windscreen, tumbling down and over the bonnet of the van before landing on the ground. There was another thump; this time, it was the legs, rolling. Still screaming, Mary unlocked the van door and ran out into the rain, stumbling slightly, and Ruby finally felt the whoosh of fresh air enter the van.

She slowly looked up, staring sluggishly at the darkness outside.

It was quiet.

She struggled, crawling out from the pile of other girls and towards the edge of the van. Eventually, she fell out, landing on the cold, wet road, blinking through fierce raindrops that were hailing on her. Her hair began to get wet and matted, her dress clinging to her cold skin. She looked around herself; the ground was mingled with rainwater dribbling down to the nearest manhole along with a thick, inky red substance.

The driver and Mary were nowhere to be seen, but a loud gunshot was enough to send shivers down Ruby's spine. Birds were also sent flying out of their trees.

A dark shadow swooped down on the ground and landed in front of her, before slowly rising to stand. Ruby looked up; she stared up at him as he loomed over her, his red eyes glowing in the darkness. He gazed down at her silently.

"…Alucard?"

He didn't reply but merely lowered himself back to the ground, even though he was getting wet at the same time. He reached out for her and wrapped his long coat around her, knowing all too well that she was watching him tentatively as he busied himself in covering at least every inch of her shivering body with his coat. Ruby looked around herself again, and sniffed. Her eyes suddenly went all wet and misty and she rubbed at the corner of her eyes, her mascara smudging and dribbling down her face. She sniffled louder and louder before she finally burst into tears, although the rain was drowning out her sobs. She didn't care why he was here - she was just relieved he was here.

"…W-What have you done?" She managed to stammer out as she dabbed at her eyes only for more mascara to be rubbed all over her cheeks.

But Alucard responded by lifting her face up to his before he pressed his lips over hers, his arms around her tightly. Her eyes widened, but she didn't push him off, even when he deepened the kiss. He finally drew away with a smirk, wiping away the lipstick that had come off her lips and onto his with the back of his hand even though the rain was already washing away the contact they just had. Ruby felt even more confused as she felt her lips tingling.

She tried again as he stroked her hair and nuzzled at her neck, "Alucard?"

Instead, he murmured something in her ear she did not understand. A foreign language. It must be his native tongue. Romanian? Compared to other vampires, he didn't scare her as much. Maybe it was because she was starting to get used to him even though they bickered and argued so much. She swallowed down before hesitating to return his embrace, her arms were shaking as she pondered whether they should encircle him or not as Alucard continued to clutch her like a much loved pet.

…Yeah, Ruby thought, I kinda missed you too.

…..

Ruby was taken back to Hellsing mansion.

The missing girls were recovered; the van, taken to forensics. The vampire bar was also stormed and closed off by Hellsing troops. The media flocked over like crazy even though they were not allowed in, nor vampires were mentioned, only that a freak accident killed all its employees, and its owners. But Alucard and Ruby had left the scene. She spent the car journey in Alucard's lap, dozing. He had his arm wrapped around her tightly and she felt his hand on her forehead, and when he withdrew, he was murmuring something to someone – possibly Integra - using the car's in-built phone. She didn't feel too good herself; her mind was still foggy and she was exhausted. This time, she was not blindfolded, not that she remembered the journey anyway. All she remembered was clinging onto Alucard and trying to get comfortable.

Eventually, the car grinded to a stop and Alucard lifted Ruby out of the car and strolled towards the entrance; she woke up. They reached the entrance and there stood Integra at the doorstep with Walter, waiting for them. When she laid her eyes on Ruby, she let out sigh and shook her head. "…Alucard, we need to discuss tonight's events. You needn't worry about the girl," She began, motioning them to follow her further into the mansion as Walter shut the door behind them. "Walter has a room prepared for her up the stairs. Have you contacted her family?"

"Nobody answered the phone, mi'lady." Walter replied. "…It is rather late."

"I see."

"Oh?" Alucard suddenly grinned at Integra, "Will you be letting her stay here then?"

"Yes, for a few days." Integra said, and then she narrowed her eyes at him, "Don't think so little of me, my servant; I am not an inhospitable person."

He chuckled, as Ruby slowly started to stir from her sleep. Eh? She saw Alucard; that wasn't surprising, since he found her, and rescued her. Then she caught a glimpse of Integra's ash-blonde swishing hair in front of her. Integra? Oh, that meant she must be in Hellsing mansion. Before they began to trek up the stairs, Ruby quickly reached over and gave a little tug on his cravat; he glanced down at her.

"…Actually, I'm alright." She muttered out groggily, rubbing at her eyes, "Can I…go to the meeting?"

Alucard raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you exhausted?"

She shook her head. "Please? I really want to find out what has happened."

With that, Alucard turned to Integra, who nodded after a few seconds. "…Very well. The meeting will be held in twenty five minutes. Stay in the room we have prepared for you for now."

"Thank you, Sir Integra."

They continued up the stairs; Alucard was taking one step slowly at a time. He seemed to be savouring the opportunity to hold her like this without her screaming or yelling or kicking as she usually would. Instead, she was merely blinking up at him inquisitively. Integra stopped outside a door and opened it, and Alucard stepped in. He carefully placed Ruby to sit onto the bed before pulling the covers over her.

"I'll leave you to it." Integra muttered, before she turned to Alucard. "Come with me for a quick word, Alucard."

"Yes, my master."

She departed the room, closing the door behind her with Alucard following her out.

Ruby continued to gawk at the door, wondering if Alucard would return, but she heard their footsteps going back downstairs. After five minutes passed, and no-one came in, she glanced around her room. Ruby had wanted to stay up for the meeting; she had been a part of the vampire bar incident and didn't want to be left out just because she was a victim.

Deciding to take a quick bath, she walked to the bathroom door and opened it, then marvelled the interior. The bathroom incorporated a bathtub, a jacuzzi in the corner and a walk-in shower. After a few seconds, she looked around suspiciously, then rapidly stripped herself of her clothes and leapt into the shower with the stained glass. "Ahhh…this is great…" Ruby sighed and closed her eyes, relaxing under the hot water; it was so soothing and calmed her nerves. She felt lazy and swayed a little on the spot; even if Alucard came in she might not even have the energy to yell at him and tell him to get out.

The Hellsing mansion was nice; like a hotel. Back at home, her bathtub had never been this big. Even the room she was provided with was big, bigger than your average bedroom but this was typical of large mansions like these to have everything super-sized. She felt privileged but also as if she was making things difficult for the director of Hellsing - Integra was too nice to her, too nice to guests - but she could understand why; Integra had a reputation to uphold and being unwelcoming wasn't one.

She reached over to the rack where a large assortment of body washes were for her taking, and stared at each label. Jasmine…Palmolive…aloe vera…lavender… even vanilla and strawberries… there was even…what the - Scent of eucalyptus tree? What the hell? She didn't know what an eucalyptus tree might smell like so avoided that one. Instead, Ruby opted for the pearl and rose extracts since it seemed so lavish and as soon as she was finished with her quick shower, she dried herself quickly with a large and fluffy towel and wrapped it around herself hastily. She stepped out of the bathroom, turning round to shut the door properly behind her.

From nowhere, she felt an arm snake around her waist and screamed at the top of her lungs only to realise it was -

Alucard.

"Well…I have to admit I don't find this surprising." She muttered, but she let out a squeak, flinching away when she felt his hands probing her body. He was feeling her up! Blushing profusely, she squirmed underneath his grip and tried to hobble away but he merely pulled her back into his arms. She glanced down at herself; at least the towel was firm and long and didn't seem bent on falling off her by the mere, slightest movement. "What are you doing?"

"I have finished speaking with my master so I came to get you." He purred in response, his hand delving under the rim of her towel before snaking up her bare leg; she shivered involuntarily when he pressed his nose against her hair. "…You smell exquisite."

She flushed in response.

"From now on," He added, "You are not to leave my side."

"Can you let go of me first?"

He ignored that comment for now. "…Mm, you're wet," He murmured silkily in her ear, "And naked."

She stiffened as his tongue slithered out and licked up her neck. "…What did you do to my clothes?"

The hand moved off her leg. "You mean these?" He lifted up her salvaged underwear and her pyjamas in his hand as she turned round, glaring up at him bitterly. Her jeans and sweater had been recovered from the bar and were now under Walter's cleaning care. They were standing so close to one another; certainly he could hear her heart pounding viciously; his chest was pressed against her that she had to back against the door of the bathroom; her bare legs could even feel the fabric of his coat.

"Yes. Give me those back."

Alucard smirked and turned away, to glance at her flimsy garments in his hand. He unfolded her vest and knickers and held them up, then scrutinised them with a grin. Black lace. Nice.

"Gimme back my clothes!"

To her horror, Alucard raised an eyebrow and folded her panties back again. "Try and take them from me."

Her face went from pink, to a deep shade of scarlet. But she did not even try as he had expected; instead, she pushed him off her, waddled to the large dresser beside the bathroom door and pulled open the top cupboard, hoping to find at least something she could use to put on. To her horror, it was empty. She tried the next cupboard. It was empty too. The last and final one was also empty. She roared in frustration; what was the whole point in this cupboard being here then? For show? Alucard laughed when she turned back to face him, glowering. But she merely folded her arms over her chest and leant on the cupboard.

"Alright, fine. Be that way. What do you want?" She said, "A kiss?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Hrm?" She had piqued his interest.

Swallowing down nervously, Ruby began to doubt what she had just said. Oh shit why did I say that? No, it'll be like last time, and I know Alucard is one who keeps his word – hopefully. Er…No big deal…It-It's just a kiss. Nothing else. A kiss for clothes. What a dreadful bargain. Silently hating herself, she didn't notice Alucard slinking closer to her.

Since she was offering, he wasn't going to say no.

Ruby looked up when she realised he was towering over her and she paled all over again. "N-No, wait! I'm not mentally prepared for – " She was cut off when he captured her lips with his; the kiss wasn't as harsh as she thought it would be. She thought he'd be all over her like a hungry wildebeest, but he was surprisingly gentle, passionate and controlled, slowly massaging his cold lips with hers. She swallowed down, as he intensified the kiss, goading her to respond. All she did was open her mouth slightly for breath and he took this cue to slip his tongue in, stroking her mouth hotly. He wanted to growl with pleasure; she was succumbing to him, and he smirked. He needed to get her used to this.

Her hand flew up to his chest, and she withdrew from him suddenly - even then he continued to plant soft kisses over the side of her face. "You have no heart beat." She said.

He took her hand and kissed it, rubbing at her palm, then he brushed a few wet strands of hair from her face and peered down at her, his red eyes gazing at her intently, "…Does it scare you?"

She hesitated, before she said, "I…I don't know." Ruby looked up at him, "I don't hate you."

Hm? And where was this coming from?

"Why didn't you – no, why aren't you yelling at me, Alucard? Why aren't you yelling and calling me an idiot for getting captured back there?" She murmured, "I shouldn't have come out tonight. You were right, but I didn't listen to you and I even said I hated you. If I listened to you then I wouldn't have had my blood sucked out by the machine and I wouldn't be stuck in that horrible itchy dress and - "

He stopped her by pressing his lips against hers once more. She talked too much. It was destroying the mood. Alucard backed her further against the cupboard, spreading her legs apart; she could feel the cloth of his trousers brushing against her legs and the handles of the dresser digging into her back, but she couldn't do much to push him off. His kisses began to grow more passionate, more desperate and soon, he averted his attention to her neck. He pushed her hair back and his arms enveloped around her, pressing her against him before he dipped down to ravish her neck. What did that mean? What did kissing her mean? Had he forgiven her? Or was he pretending nothing had happened?

Her mind turned to mush. She had never been kissed by anyone like this before. Her hands were shaking; unsure whether to wrap around his neck or not. If she did, it meant she was finally consenting to him and she wasn't sure she was ready yet. Did it mean she was accepting the fact that she was his mate? Then what? Mate? What would happen? Would she eventually come out of this with some supersonic-supertonic vampire baby that would one day rule the world? She shuddered inwardly; no, Ruby didn't want that. She wasn't ready yet. She wasn't even sure she wanted this. Hell, she wasn't even sure if she liked him yet. There was still so much about him she wanted to find out first, and there was something about Alucard that always felt too good to be true, even when it came to him showing affection for her.

"…Put… your legs around my waist." He suddenly breathed out in between long and sensual, open-mouthed kisses; he had never been so crazed for a female before. She simply drove him wild. And now the damned towel was the only thing preventing him from exploring the rest of her body.

Ruby's eyes went wide for a split second. "What? No!" She shook her head again, even when he tried to make her wrap her legs around him, his hand gripping her thigh. She felt doused with cold water immediately, and she shoved him off her with all the strength she could muster – unfortunately, she only managed to hold him off at arm's length – and she glared bitterly at him. "I said NO."

There was a silence. She took this opportunity to pull the towel up over her a little higher while Alucard closed his eyes, the corner of his lips tugging upwards into a smirk. "…Yes, I suppose that's enough for tonight. Let us depart to my master's office. She dislikes it when one is not on time."

She gawped at him wide-eyed. Had he said such thing? Apparently, he did. He surprised her to no end. Without another word he re-adjusted his cravat which had somehow being tugged down to some extent and turned his head to the side, his raven locks falling over one eye. Then, he gave her his hand.

"I will be leading the way," Alucard said, "I would not want the kitten to get lost."

Later.

"What?" Integra barked, "The bar has been destroyed?"

"Yessir," said the fuzzy voice, buzzing through the speaker, "We were preparing to examine the area when it just blew up."

"Did anyone get hurt?"

"Just a few minor injuries, nothing serious."

"Very well. Continue on with your investigations."

"Roger."

The room fell silent.

"Well, you heard what has happened." muttered Integra, before she suddenly slammed her clenched fist over the table, making papers flying and one of the blessed knives they had recovered rattle on the surface. Ruby flinched slightly but Seras and Walter merely stood stiffly in their spots. "The vampire bar has been destroyed by an outsider. Do you know what this means, Alucard? Seras? Walter? Miss Ashcroft?"

Whilst Walter and Seras nodded, Ruby shook her head. She was sitting beside Alucard, her hand clenched in his tightly; he had grabbed it from under the table and was now stroking his thumb over the back of her palm affectionately. She didn't want to pull away since they were sitting so close to Integra and she didn't want to embarrass herself.

"Hellsing is not doing their job properly!" Integra roared out, "Humans have begun doing the unspeakable… Kidnapping women and selling their blood to vampires… this simply cannot be allowed! Yes, it may prevent and reduce vampire attacks! Yes, it may even be considered an alternative if the vampire outbreak cannot be stopped and the vampire population continues to increase, but…" She calmly slid her gaze back to the laptop screen, then sighed and closed her eyes. "As loyal servants to Her Majesty the Queen, we swore our allegiance in protecting the country… this is humiliation far beyond imagination." She said, "…My servant, your work rate is to be doubled. No, tripled! From now on, I want you to search and destroy!"

Alucard gazed back at Integra and smirked, "Yes, my master."

"And this was recovered from the scene of the crime?" She held up one of Sloan's blessed daggers that was still encrusted in Alucard's dried blood. Integra stared at in disdain as she inspected it closely. "It's been blessed."

"Yes, I noticed." Alucard replied, rubbing at his chest where it had impaled him.

"I don't find it strange it was blessed," said Integra, "My ancestors were not the only vampire hunters, nor were they the only ones to have practised holy magic. Since the bar appeared to be run by humans, I'm not surprised they investigated everything about vampires and discovered how to protect themselves from them in case something went wrong."

"So…what about the dagger itself?" Seras asked.

Integra turned the knife around and back, running her fingers over the handle and blade. "What is curious about this is the symbol engraved on the handle," She added, before she handed the dagger to Alucard, who let go of Ruby's hand to accept it. "Do you recognise it?"

The vampire stared down at the lightweight blade in his hands, his eyes narrowing at the small symbol on the handle. It was round and featured a dragon on it, carved scrupulously by a skilled artisan, no doubt. Alucard shook his head before handing it to Ruby. She wasn't so sure why he did, as she held it in her hands, blinking numbly into space. What do I do with this? She thought to herself. Her thoughts were answered when Walter scooped the sword from her and returned it to Integra.

"A visit to the archives may refresh my memory." The vampire suggested, with a lean shrug of his broad shoulders.

Almost at once, Integra slid open one of the cupboards of her desk and protruded out a set of keys, "Very well." She handed them to Alucard. "Take these. I will report to Her Majesty the Queen about this - from our operation, only ten girls have been recovered. Six did not survive. The numbers of missing persons do not match."

"There's more vampire bars?" Seras asked, but Integra merely shook her head.

"We cannot confirm that."

"And what of Victor Sloan?" Alucard said.

The director clasped her hands together and murmured, "…He was a misguided man. From what you told me, Alucard, when you drank from him, he was a victim nonetheless. He refused to face the truth, and his obsession in finding a 'cure' for his son drove him to madness and complete abandonment of his humanity."

"He told me he was protecting humans from vampires…" Ruby mumbled out.

Integra subsequently turned to Ruby and said, "Yes, he thought he was, but his bad deeds outweigh the good. He kidnapped women all across the country and endangered their lives by selling their blood and themselves to vampires. He deserved his fate." She took note of Ruby's sullen expression. "…But I know, that there are always two sides to the story, Miss Ashcroft. Hellsing has very good men dedicating their lives to serve us, but unfortunately, it seems that sometimes… tragedies elude our watchful eye over the general public."

Ruby watched Integra intently.

She rubbed at her temples, "What happened to Victor Sloan and his son… is our responsibility." She must be referring to the fact that Sloan's son was bitten by a vampire so many years ago and nobody knew about it, nor did anyone help them; Hellsing never appeared to them. Maybe it went to show, not everyone was fortunate. The room fell silent following Integra's comment.

"…Why children?" It was Ruby. Seras and Walter turned to her. She was glancing at her lap, her eyes hidden by her bangs. Even Alucard was gazing at her intently. He let go of her hand; she was trembling. "He was 15, right? He'll never be able to grow up, and go into college or university… get a proper job, have kids…"

"Compared to adults, children are easier to prey on."

"Because they're smaller and weaker and can't fight back?" Ruby said, before she stood back up in her seat. She opened her mouth as to say something, but she didn't have to. It was written all over her face. The anger, the disgust, the sadness, the pity. Ruby hurried out of the room after murmuring a quick apology.

Integra sighed once more, then turned to address Alucard, "Go after her. And remember, my servant, be subtle."

…..

Outside, Ruby stood dejectedly by herself, pondering about her own outburst. She didn't know what this feeling was called. She didn't know Sloan, or his son, but somehow, she felt an immense amount of pity and grief for them. She felt like crying. A part of her wanted to go back in and apologise to Integra and then sit back down so the meeting could go on. However, when she saw Alucard appearing beside her as he drifted through the wall, she stiffened and quickly dabbed at her eyes.

"What is it?" She mumbled, "I want to be alone."

"Do you wish to…talk?" Alucard began; for once, he sounded hesitant about his words, as if he was choosing wisely.

Ruby whipped back round to him; her eyes were slightly red and watery. She opened her mouth, as if to speak, but then she turned away. "No."

Before she could another step away from him, he seized her hand, and dragged her back to him, their noses touching. He growled out, "I can ease some of your qualms. You may ask me whatever you like."

"Some questions are better left unanswered, Alucard." Without another word, she tugged herself free from his grip, and stormed back towards the direction of her room silently.

Meanwhile.

"The body identified as one of the missing women, Mary Sullivan, was found on the M423 highway…"

A young man was sitting down on a black leather swivel chair in front of a desk that was made entirely out of glass, rifling through a finance magazine. A laptop displaying the 24 hour BBC news channel on screen was sitting on the desk surface amongst several documents, a cup of cold coffee and a pack of test tubes containing viscous, crimson liquid. There was a knock on the door. "Come in." He said.

The door to his office opened and another man in a black suit entered, his shiny leather shoes squeaking off the polished floor. "Caelum, I'm afraid I have some bad news."

"What is it?" said Caelum, without glancing up at his colleague, gazing intently at the glossy pages.

"Victor Sloan has been killed."

He rolled his eerie, blood-red eyes and yawned. "Whatever. He served his purpose well. Guess he won't be needing this anymore – " Caelum picked up the rack with the testubes containing the strange fluid and threw it into the wastepaper basket under his desk. " – What a shame; he was so close, too."

"He was killed by Alucard."

"Alucard?" Caelum put down the magazine abruptly and spun round in his chair to face him fully. "What? How could this have happened?"

"Sloan was careless and revealed himself." The subordinate said, "I have already activated the self-destruct. But what should we do, sir? Hellsing might find us. Should we prepare to depart?"

Caelum's eyebrows furrowed angrily. He swivelled back round to stare outside the window, behind his desk, gazing at the dark silhouettes and faint white glow of light emitting from office windows of the neighbouring skyscrapers. "No. The tournament will be held in a few weeks and I'm not going to postpone it."

Notes:

I introduce to you a new cast member of Oh My Alucard - Caelum! He is the actual baddie of this story. How you pronounce his name is up to you.

I also like to add extra to stories which hopefully engages the reader to think about things, instead of writing just romance where an OC gets together with a canon character and they live happily ever after. The first was about the money, whether Ruby should've accepted it or not, and then there was Sloan, who believed he was protecting humans but at the same time, was kidnapping people.

I would like you to think more about the characters, their background, and in the future when I introduce new characters, to also have the same reflection.

Aside from that, thank you very much for reading. It has been a pleasure writing for you and there will be more to come!
