To answer Shi Kage's question I'm sure Girlycard will make an appearance eventually. I'm not sure when though to be honest this story is really writing its self when I start typing I have no clue where it's going from the beginning of a chapter to the end, but it all works out.

Also Valerie by main plot do you mean the Manga? Because that will be in this story but I wanted to get Arz and Alu to a stable point before starting that.

And Alucard doesn't really change Ari but stuff does happen near the end, so yeah

Seeing she was on the phone Ben excused himself, even though they mainly picked on each other the two dark haired humans got along better than the biological pair. Waiting until she heard the door slam shut she hissed into her phone having switched the speaker off. "I really don't like you sometimes Alucard. Oh and thanks for telling me you had a phone." Glaring at the bright snow she tugged the ever present wire framed sunglasses from her low collar and slid them on her face.

"You never asked, my pet. You cannot fault me for that." Watching the three dogs run around she sighed leaning over the porch rail.

"I know but it would have been nice to have known. You nearly gave me a heart attack. Not to mention my mother is going to kill me when I go back in. How would you feel if Mihnea had a conversation involving sex in front of you about a girl you had never met before." A chuckle sounded in her ear.

"Mihnea was married by the time he was 15 Ari. They resided just down the hall from my rooms." Blinking she shifted tracking Baskerville as he jumped the 6 foot fence and disappeared into the woods. Vladimir blinked then headed back to Ari's side, but Buddy woofed and barreled into the fence head first tail wagging.

"Please tell me your walls were sound proof." Watching canines play was amusing especially if one kept running into things. "Wait you can remember things about Mihnea but when I ask about you, you draw a blank."

"He is my son. You will understand when you bare children." Rolling her eyes she walked down the steps going to check out a weird looking foot print in the snow.

"I'm way too young to even begin to think about that. Besides you didn't have a kid until you were like 30." The vampire took a sip of his wine swirling the glass.

"Not for lack of trying. I wanted heirs, Elizabeta did not like babes." Pinching the bridge of her nose she sighed a pretty blush dusting her cheeks.

"I really didn't want to know that. Whatever you did with your first wife please keep it to yourself. I really really hope I don't get those memories." Stopping she looked down wrinkling her brow at the giant foot print in the snow. "Alucard, can Baskerville handle a gargoyle?" Uncrossing his legs the No-Life-King sit up frowning.

"In theory yes, but I wouldn't suggest trying without me with him. Why?" Bending down she cocked her head.

"Well I've been looking through the monster archive in the library and there's a gargoyle foot print in the yard, looks fresh to." Tipping his head his hat hide a smile, finally knowing what Ari would wish to have for this horrible holiday season.

"If you hear high pitched screeches go back inside. Baskerville will keep it away from you until dawn then he will destroy it." Tightening his grip he set the glass down when it cracked. "Next time you decide on taking a trip I am going with you." Standing back up she rolled her eyes.

"Alucard you can't leave London. I'm not important enough for you to take the chance of leaving Integra alone for that long." A silent snarl marred his face. Was she still doubtful to how much he needed her?

"Artemis you are my mate. I would decimate whole countries for you if need be." She paused before a smile broke out making her bare her tiny fangs.

"That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me, a bit much but sweet." Ah he knew there was a reason she was his destined. She didn't freak out when he said something like that even Elizabeta had been scared of his less than romantic ideals. Feeling arms wrap around her Ari screamed dropping the phone. Dammit she did that a lot, hopefully the i-phone hadn't disconnected this time. Being pulled back into a not so familiar chest she yelped jerking away when a hand started to snake up her shirt. "If the hand goes up any farther I break your nose." Snatching her cell up she held it away from her ear.

"Answer me Artemis! I will cross the ocean if I must!" Taking a deep breath she glared up at the grinning cherry blond, 6'4'', brown eyed boy.

"If you'd quit yellin' you'd hear that I'm fine." Poking the male teen in his chubby gut she growled. "I don't appreciate bein' fondled. I haven't seen you in 5 months and the first thing you do is try to grope me." Backing up he rubbed the back of his head.

"Sorry." His semi-high voice took on a whining tone. "I haven't seen you in forever, I am a normal 20 year old ya know?" Hearing Alucard snarl over the phone Ari gulped hoping he didn't hear any of what she'd just said.

"The boy had better of not touched you, you are mine."

"Umm Red I've gotta go. But rest assured that he didn't. I'm yours after all." Clicking her phone off before he could growl a response she huffed slipping her phone in her pocket, placing her hands on her hips. "And you, you need to get a girlfriend on this side of the pond. I broke up with you when I moved." The boy frowned stepping closer intending to hug her to him.

"I love you though. Five months isn't enough for me to forget that. I'm still gonna marry you." Placing a hand on his chest she pushed him back.

"Tim I won't say yes. I wasn't happy with you, you were sweet but there was no spark." Walking away from him she hopped up on a log beside the fence scanning the tree line for her barrowed hellhound. He had never been gone this long before. Hearing a noise her eyes widened. It was a mix of a dog yelping and a piercing scream. Jumping off the wood she ran back towards the porch stopping when she remembered the mutts. "Go inside and stay there. Vladimir, Buddy, come on!" Having heard the sound when his master did the wolf waited in front of the door. Opening his mouth Tim moved to place a hand on the girls arm but changed his mind when she snarled at him tugging on the pit's collar as he barked at the darkening woods. "Don't wait for me, go!" Twisting her hand into his chain collar Ari tugged one last time before gritting her teeth. "Son of a bitch! Move!" Hefting the 90 pound dog into her arms she strained a moment before shifting his weight and ran to the door kicking it with her foot. Her mother opened the door clearly unhappy about the noise.

"What are you doing? You pay for the door if it's dented." Shoving the blond aside she dropped Buddy non to gracefully to the floor. Racing back over to the opening she slammed the wooden door just as a gray winged figure broke through the tree line.

"We smell him! The one who murdered our clan!" Two more joined the first, smaller but still as frightening. Frowning Susan moved the curtains aside peeking out into the yard. Paling she screamed as blue-gray orbs locked with pure white.

"Mom stay away from the windows and lock all the doors shut the blinds too." Stuttering the older women sunk into a chair. Pointing to the cherry blond she heaved a breath. "Make sure she's okay." Dashing out of the room the teen shut the front door throwing the dead bolt making Ben raise a black eyebrow. Recognizing the panicked looked in her eyes he sit up in his recliner turning the TV off. "Shut any window blinds that are open and check on mom." Rocking to his feet he did as asked while Ari jogged the rest of the house shutting any curtains that were open. At the last one silver met white as a gray clawed hand traced over the window.

"You, you smell of the one that killed my mate and kinsmen. You will pay." Backing out of the room she slid the door shut thankful that the lock was on the outside when she heard the window in the room break. Closing the other doors in the hall way she sank down the wall of the kitchen shaking. Looking up she realized everyone was looking at her, Susan with wide unseeing eyes leaking tears, Ben with slightly less frightened eyes, and Tim paced the floor before slumping down in the chair beside her mother. Ben rested a comforting hand on his wife's shoulder squeezing lightly when her hand rested over his.

"What are those things? What do they want?" Seeing there was no way around the question Ari pulled her knees to her chest trying to calm her heart.

"They're Gargoyles." Seeing Tim's eyes narrow she grinned a sadistic expression that Alucard normally wore. "Believe me they're real. My job demands that I know what I'm dealing with, anything is possible." Holding out a hand Ben pulled her to her feet.

"That still doesn't explain what they want." Taking a seat at the table Ari let her head drop into her hands.

"They want me because I smell like Alucard."

I hope everyone liked this chapter! And warn me if I stray into Mary-sue territory because I really don't wanna do that. Also what should Arz get Alu for Christmas?
