Sorry for being late here is the new story!

30 AU Challenge:

11 – Serial killer AU

Alucard was walking Baskerville through the park after one afternoon when his phone rang, seeing the caller ID he smiled when he saw that it was his girlfriend Seras. Wasting no time he immediately swiped accept and placed the phone to his ear.

"Hello" he purred into the phone. His beloved always called him after she returned from her work to inform him that she was home safe and to vent about her day, which he was more than happy to listen too.

"H…hey Alucard…we need to talk."

Now Alucard learned that when one of the couples tell the other 'We need to talk' it always means something bad and with how her voice sounded nervous he knew it must be something serious. He stopped earning a whimper from Baskerville because the poor thing wanted to walk, but only got a scratch behind his ear that assured him that he will get it but not now. Alucard found a nearby bench and sat on it, Baskerville sat beside him like an obedient dog that he is. Alucard then focused on his lover again.

"Talk about what?" he asked calmly. He could hear her shifting and walk around.

"….I know about your hobby."

"My painting classes?" He asked with a raised brow confused. There was a long pause before Seras finally said.

"I know that you are the murderer from the news." All light disappeared from his eyes as they became half-lidded, He looked to the side to his phone.

"What are you talking about seras?" He asked in a confused tone to try and fool her.

"Don't play dump Alucard." Her tone became serious although he could still sense her nervousness. "…I….I went to your basement."

Alucard's whole body becomes tense as his eyes slightly widened. He did his best to keep his composure, the last thing he wanted was to make a scene in a public park and draw attention to himself. A million thoughts ran through Alucard's mind on how should he react to what she said. Should he walk back to their home while still trying to deceive her to catch her before she does anything stopped like telling her boss? Should he start to threatening her to plant fear into her so she won't try anything? Should he escape the town and leave everything behind? Should he try to explain himself to her, because he still loves her and would never really hurt her? Most of his ideas were on killing the witnesses and start a new, but this was Seras, his beloved seras and he can never do to her what he does to everyone else. So he decided to set in his place and accept whatever is coming.

"How long have you known?" He asked calmly looking forward imagining Seras in front of him with a disappointed look on her face, or maybe a terrified one to finding out the truth about him.

"…8 months now.."

Alucard eyes widened at her answer, he pulled the phone away and looked down at it wondering if there was some kind of miscommunication because he didn't believe what he had heard. He placed the phone back to his ear after making sure that it wasn't broken in any way.

" 8 months?"

"Yes…"

Alucard didn't say anything as a sign that he wanted to hear more of her so Seras continued

"It all started a year ago when you came home late and I found a red smudge on your shirt, I offered to clean it for you but you immediately declined, saying that you'll do it yourself. I remember that you washed your own clothes for a month before I returned to clean them myself….At first, I didn't think much of it, just accepted your excuse when you said that it was from a painting class that you started to take."

"So there were many times that you had suspected me?" He asked trying to remember all the times that Seras looked at him in a way that said she was on to him, he remembered one time but he had confirmed it a long time ago that it was not because of what he was.

"Only on one time… and that's when I thought you were cheating on me after I found the scratch mark s on your shoulders that you have been trying to hide. You convinced me that you got it from a fight but I knew it was a women's nails."

"It was." He confirmed with a grin." She struggled too much and kept scratching my chest and shoulders thinking I would pull away from the pain, but I didn't"

He could hear more movement from the other side, the sound was kind of…familiar.

"I see..."

"When did you find out that I was the murderer?" he asked getting tired from this and just wants to know what the hell is Seras doing in their home?

"Remember when I wanted to bring a hammer from your basement but you stopped me and became all worked up as you told me that you were redecorating it?"

"You grew curious and got into my home when I wasn't around and found out what was inside?" He assumed which earned him a speechless Seras, his grin grew bigger. "Who was it back then?"

There was a long paused before she answered.

"It was Mrs. Adley."

"The one who forced you into doing extra work that you didn't deserve and encouraged the other children to bully you more." It was more of a statement than a question. Seras ignored that fact and continued.

"When I found her there, tied up to a wooden pole wearing only her underwear with bruises and cuts covering her body and she begged me with her eyes to help her… I was terrified and didn't know what to do…I know I should have helped her for it is my job to help people and protect them-"

"But you didn't." He cut her off, now scratching Baskerville's ears.

"…..No…I turned around and left…it was the time I took a break and returned to my home before we moved in together."

Alucard remembered that harsh week when Seras stopped answering his calls and texts. Even when he showed up at her job to talk to her she refused and told him that she needed space. He remembered venting all the heavy emotions he felt on she suffered so much before meeting her end. Alucard shook all those thoughts away as he asked something far more important.

"You knew I was the murderer yet you didn't give me away to the authorities, You knew of what was going in my basement yet you accepted to move in with such great excitement in your eyes, you knew that my hands were tainted yet you still threw yourself into my arms." He said in a low voice his hand still stroking Baskerville's ears who loved the attention. "Why Seras?"

"Because… I love you…"

She said in a sincere voice that made the light return to Alucard's eyes his smirk turned to a genuine smile.

"When I said that I'll do anything for you… it wasn't a lie you know…I saw that before you came, my life was dull, I couldn't go back to that…I didn't want to."

"And I love you too, more than anything." He purred to the phone, imagining her beautiful blushing face. "That's why I killed her for you."

"…I know she wasn't the only one from my orphanage that you killed."

Alucard could hear a door open from the other side of the line. Where was she? Where is she going?

"I searched the names of all your victims, most of them were my previous bullies….The others, however, I didn't know them."

"They were just people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time."

"I thought so…"

There were few thumbing sounds no as that familiar sound came again…it was the sound of something being dragged.

"Seras…" He called getting her attention from whatever she was doing.

"...Hhmp!...Yes?"

"I cannot tell you of how happy I am to know that the one I love accepts me for who I am and is willing to still stay by my side…but I still need to ask why couldn't this wait until I come home so you can tell me face to face?" he asked and seras began to sound hesitant.

"W..well…I actually-"

"Were you afraid that I would…kill you too?"

"What?...Of course not! Alucard-"

"Then you thought that I would try to hurt you in a way that would kill you?"

"Alucard just let me explain-"

"You know I wouldn't harm you right?... I love you too much that even the thought of it makes me hurt."

"ALUCARD! SHUT UP FOR A MOMENT WOULD YOU!"

Alucard became silence, one of the things he had learned in this relationship is to never anger his girlfriend, he learned it the hard way and his sofa knows.

"The reason why I'm telling you this through the phone was that…someone came today to our home…It was detective Payton."

"What did he want?" He said with a scowl. Alucard hated that man with passion, not because he always tried to put Alucard in trouble but because he always flirted with Seras even after she told him that she was in a serious relationship with him. That bastard couldn't take a 'No' for an answer. Alucard planned on putting him on the list and if he did anything to Seras then he will move him up the list.

"He came to search the house without a warrant saying that would catch you in the act…I tried to get him out but even though he was an asshole he was stronger than me…"

"Was…?" Alucard asked confused. There was a pause before Seras said.

"…yes…was…I..will you see…hmm...He tried to force his way to the basement, I tried to stop him but I was already on the ground, I was so scared that he would see all the blood because I know you were short on hydrogen peroxide so you didn't have the chance to clean."

She blurted out fast but Alucard understood her quick rambling.

"What did you do Seras?" he asked worriedly she might have knocked him out cold and had to face the consequences later. It would explain the dragging noise that came from the phone.

"I…kind of …accidentally…*Coagh* Stabbed him 10 times in the back and neck and there is a mess everywhere so please come quick and help me clean this up!"

Alucard eyes widened in shock at what he had heard that he needed to take a moment to process what his lover had told him and to hold back a big smile.

"Where is the body?" he asked already knowing the answer.

"I… dragged it to the basement a few moments ago…So could you get home already, please?"

Alucard then stood up from the bench and started walking back to where he came from to reach his home faster, then whispered to his phone.

"Make sure to clean up all the evidence and leave the rest to me, I'm on my way."

"I'm on it."

"And Seras…"

"Yes?"

"I love you so much."

"….And I love you too."

And the call ended. Alucard couldn't stop smiling the entire time as he imagined returning home to bloodied Seras with that same beautiful smile still on her face as she welcomed home with a kiss like she always does.
