October 31. Halloween. And the moon was full that night.
Alucard hated full moon nights. That's why he thought he was out of his mind in coming to the Halloween ball.
Especially if his name was on the invitation.
Alucard was wearing a black double-breasted suit with an old Victorian shirt and bow. He was looking at the people trying to find any sense in why he was there.
Tonight is a dangerous night for him.
It was a beautiful night. And in a night like this, he can't control his craving.
That's why he tried to look away from Gabrielle.
Gabby was talking to her sister as they and Bill were watching the people dance. Alucard tried to avert his eyes to her.
Gabby was wearing a low cut dress robe that hugged her developing body. Her smooth white skin seemed to reflect the glow of the candles. He looked away when he heard her heartbeat.
Her smooth neck was still in his mind. He tried to remove those thoughts. He didn't want to give in into temptation.
Its nights like this that he hated what he was.
He had controlled his urge the past months but somehow the power of Halloween heightened his hunger.
But he never wanted to hurt his Gabrielle.
But his temptation was strong. Especially when she pulled him to the dance floor and smiled, forcing him to dance.
At that moment he wished that he had brought along the Ivory Saint and used it on himself.
He cringed as he smelled her blood through her veins.
Breathe in, breathe out, he commanded himself. He needed to stay calm.
But it's hard to do when one of most beautiful females in the world is in your arms.
It took all his concentration but he managed to still his hunger.
For he'd rather die than hurt her.

Narcissa smiled as she saw the people having fun at the ball. She wore a silver flamboyant dress robe. It seemed like the stars were enchanted in her robes for they twinkled in brilliance.
At first she was reluctant to go for she was afraid the Death Eaters would find her. But in the last second she changed her mind. She even has her own emergency portkey just in case.
But the night was beautiful and the temptation was great. And she wanted to find out who her benefactor was.
She need not to wait long.
"Good evening Lady Narcissa," she turned and smiled at the man.
"Good evening to you too, Master Fuhrer," she said. Bismarck took her hand and kissed it. There was a teasing pause before he let go of her hand. He was wearing the same white double-breasted suit he had wore the day she saw him. But it still made him look regal in it.
"Please, call me Bismarck," he took two glasses of champagne and offered her one. "It's a lovely night, isn't it?" he smiled as he looked out upon the sky.
"It is," she smiled back at him. Why does his smile make her feel young again?
"I'm puzzled," Bismarck said as he gazed into the cloudless sky.
"Why?" she asked.
"I can't figure out what star is missing," he said as he looked at her. "I'm puzzled as to how you have descended from the heavens to attend this small affair." Narcissa blushed as she giggled.
"Have you tried that line with the other women?" she teased. His smile made her forget her concerns, hell it made her forget that she was twice as old as he was.
"I've always told the truth to the ladies," he said.
"And if it would hurt their feelings?" she asked with a wry smile.
"I answer in a runabout way," he chuckled. "I would be dead now if I told them the flat out truth."
"In the flat out truth," Narcissa smiled obliquely. "Why did you invite me?"
"I wanted your company and this function was the best excuse to have it," he smiled.
"No..... ulterior motives?"
"All men have motivations and they tend to act on them given the proper occasion," he said making her giggle.
"You have something else in mind," she smiled.
"I should have never have told you about my secret," he smiled as he laughed. Narcissa looked at him with leer.
"You seem to be in good spirits today," she said. Bismarck sighed and looked at the dancing crowd.
"Somehow the full moon makes me saner than I have ever been," he smiled and he offered his hand. "Care to dance?"
Smiling, Narcissa took his hand and he led her to the dance floor.

"It's a nice evening," Fleur said as she and Bill were in each other's arms as the music was set in a soft song.
"It is," he whispered in her ear. "I can't believe Alucard was invited to this ball."
"I can't believe that you have the courage to dance with me," she smiled. "They seemed peaceful," she said. Bill turned to look at where she was gazing and found Alucard and Gabby in a sweet embrace.
"They seemed to be made for each other," she said and she rested her head on his chest. "Some girls have all the luck."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Bill asked pretending to be hurt.
"She had found her other half and she's still thirteen," Fleur sighed. "I'm already twenty and I still haven't found Mr. Right." Now Bill was genuinely hurt. Didn't she see him as Mr. Right?
"You'll find him," he said softly. Fleur smiled and looked at his eyes.
"I will," she agreed and slowly tipped her toes to reach him. Bill smiled and leaned down meeting her halfway.
Closing her eyes, she felt his warm breath as he drew in closer. He placed his hand on her shoulders to steady them.
At that time the music drowned out, as all that mattered to them was that moment in time.
Everything else was inconsequential.
As their lips began to touch, the loud shattering of glass and screams took out their reverie.
Bill cursed and whipped around to see what it was that disturbed his moment of bliss.
His eyes widened to see damnation.
*** ***
Alucard saw black-cloaked men hurling curses at the people ending his dance with Gabby. He saw a curse hurled towards him and he immediately pushed Gabby out of the way. Accepting the full blast of the curse.
Gabby didn't have time to see what happened to Alucard for someone caught her and steadied her.
"Are you alright?" the man asked. Gabby ignored him and looked at the body of Alucard.
"Ally!" she cried as she ran towards him. The man and a woman in silver ran with her.
"Don't touch him," the man said as he grabbed Gabby.
"Let me go!" she struggled but the man's grip was firm.
"It's for your own good," the man in white said. Suddenly, they were surrounded by several cloaked figures. The woman in silver retreated to the back of the man.
"We come for Narcissa," one of them said as he removed his hood. There revealed a pale man with long sharp fangs.
"Vampires," the man in white smirked. "Lowly vampires are not welcomed."
"Who's lowly?" one of the vampires said. "You shall be tasty, human."
"What are vampires doing with the Death Eaters?" Narcissa asked hiding behind the man in white. "The last I heard they were hiding in Romania."
"We got hungry," one of them said.
"Ally," Gabby said as she tried to reach him.
"That would be unwise," the man said holding he steady. "Especially when he hasn't been feeding."
"What does that mean?" Gabby spat.
"You'll find out in ten seconds," the man smiled. He then turned to the vampires and his smile turned deadly. "The lady is in my protection. You have to go through me before you can claim her." Narcissa looked at him in shock. Did he just say that he would protect her? She blushed like a girl. Never had anyone protect her honor before. And it felt nice.
But they were vampires. What chance does he have against vampires?
"Who are you?" one asked. "How dare you threaten us?"
"People who will die in a matter of moments does not have the right to hear my name," he smiled. "But I'll humor you. Lady?" he took Narcissa's hand and made it hold Gabby's. "Hold her for me and go to the man with the red hair."
Confused by his request, she complied.
"Gabby!" Fleur said as she hugged her sister.
"Mrs. Malfoy. What... who's that?" Bill said dumbfounded. The man was going to face twelve vampires and a number of Death Eaters. Was he insane?
"Die mortal!" the vampire said.
"You first," the man smiled and opened his palms. "Lifting restrictions seals for method 2," he said. "Restrictions activated until the subject is silenced."
"What is this?" the vampires became suddenly agitated. "It's not possible."
Gabby's eyes widened when she saw Alucard slowly stand up.
"Ally," she said in a soft voice. Bill was shocked to see the expression of death in his eyes. The calm serene silence that only death could produce.
Alucard looked at the vampires with a glare that could destroy them.
"I am Bismarck Fuhrer Iracundia," the man said as he took out a large silver automatic pistol and aimed it at the vampires. "And this is the Ivory Salvation," he smiled.
Suddenly a pair of blades sheathed out of Alucard's knuckles. Barring his teeth, Gabby saw a pair of fangs. Slowly, he walked towards the vampires who suddenly backed away in fear.
"Lamia," the vampire said shaking. Bill never saw a vampire looking so scared.
"My friend wants blood," Bismarck said. "Fortunately, vampire blood could ease his hunger for another century."
With speeds like lightning, Alucard already had his fangs in one of the vampires. The vampire struggled but was already weakened. Draining all of its blood, Alucard stabbed the vampire turning it into dust.
"Kill them," the other vampire ordered but was suddenly sporting a large hole in his chest before he too turned into dust.
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust," Bismarck said as he aimed at another vampire.
Alucard was hacking another vampire, blood still trickled down his lips.
Gabby was stunned. Her sweet Ally was capable of such carnage. She couldn't believe it.
Bismarck turned his attention to the Death Eaters as they aimed their wands at him. Aiming his Salvation he fired at the dark mages. All of them had gaping twelve inch holes in their chests.
Alucard was like a madman when he fought. But to Narcissa's eyes he and Bismarck were dancing. They were fighting in precision like they were fighting like one.
And to Bill, that was unnerving.
Fleur held on to Gabby tight as she struggled to free herself.
"Gabby, Ally could take care of himself," Fleur said.
"He's taking care of those vampires like they were those zombies," Bill said as he witnessed the fight. Looking around, most of the people have already left. All of them were walking or running. Couldn't they apparate?
A Death Eater aimed his wand at Fleur. Bill reacted before he thought and covered them with his body. But as he said the words of the curse, it never came out of the wand.
Panicking, the Death Eater ran away, pushing himself against the crowd.
Bill didn't have time to be baffled. For it was all over.
Looking at the middle of the dance floor, Bill saw standing back to back Alucard and Bismarck standing over the bodies of the slain.
Then the unthinkable happened. As quick as light, Bismarck reloaded his gun and they turned on each other. Alucard had his blades mere inches from his head and Bismarck had his gun on Alucard's forehead.
"Why does our roles change every cycle of the moon," Bismarck said good- naturedly. "I have to do what you did on the new moon and you have to do this tonight."
"Ally!" Gabby called out. Alucard hear her voice and was out of his trance. Slowly he sheathed his blades and looked at Gabby ashamed at what he did. But Gabby had a welcoming smile that told him that it was all right.
Gabby opened her arms, beckoning him to come.
Alucard slowly walked towards her but stopped. He looked at himself and smiled apologetically.
Alucard was a bloody mess.
Gabby smiled and nodded at him.
He was afraid before but now he wasn't.
He was accepted for who he was.
"Removal of the restriction complete," Bismarck said as he holstered his gun. "It's been nice seeing you again," he smiled at Alucard. "But I must take my leave, My lady?" he smiled at Narcissa. "We shall meet again in more... pleasant circumstances." For some reason confusing to Bill, Mrs. Malfoy blushed. She was not acting like the prissy noble that she was. She acted like a girl.
Alucard glared at Bismarck and walked towards him. The man in white smiled at his approach.
"You cannot stop me, not right now," Bismarck said as he walked towards the window. "The balance has been tipped in the wrong direction and I need to correct it. Don't worry, we shall meet again before this thing is over." The curtain suddenly fluttered and covered him, in the next moment, he was gone.
"I'm beginning to piece together the puzzled at the ruins," Fleur said as she looked at Alucard who seemed lost as he looked at the window.
"Mrs. Malfoy, who is he?" Bill asked rather perplexed. But when he turned around, she too was gone.
"We have a lot of questions that needed answering," Fleur said. Both adults looked at Gabby and Alucard who were smiling at each other. Gabby was laughing at Alucard's state of being. He was covered in blood and dust. He laughed with her as he tried to remove the blood from his coat. With the flick of the wand, Gabby cleaned him of all grime.
"I was surprise that your sister accepted him in an instant," Bill said as he watched the two.
"Gabby sees the heart of any man or creature," Fleur sighed. "All men have dark sides and she knows that. She sees the good in the man more than the evil. She told me that Alucard was the first person who saw her as a friend, not like a sex object like the others sees us." She looked at Bill and smiled at him. "That's why she likes him."
"And I could only guess the reason for him liking her," Bill returned her smile. "I don't know about you, but all this excitement is getting to me. I need to think this over."
"I know," she said as she looked at the laughing couple.

Voldemort was angry beyond imagination. He had just killed the one Death Eater that had returned from the attack at the ball. He had lost a dozen vampires and most of his subjects.
And they failed to capture Narcissa Malfoy.
Now he was to deal with the two strangers that foiled his plan.
He'll have to deal with it later for he had other things to do.
"Drakul!" Voldemort called a man in a cloak. "I have a mission for you."
The man called Drakul stepped forward and sneered.
End of 11.

A/n: So? What did you think about it? If you still don't know who Bismarck's is, his last name is a hint. Ooops, I shouldn't have said that. Please review. Pretty pleeeeeaaassssee????? And who really is Alucard? Hint. The name means something.
