Scratch.

Scratch.

The pen scratched paper on Integra's desk. Snow fell lightly outside and soft Opera music played. It was 2 days before Christmas and everyone had left, including Alucard, well everyone xpt Pip, who stayed behind lest something happen to the boss.

Integral could hear him making his rounds outside for the past few hours. After a spell he opened her office door.

"Boss?" he asked

"Yes commander, what is it?"

" Do ya think we should do something together, I mean It's the holidays after all."

"No Pip I am really busy, do what you like you are free to leave whenever you wish."

" I can't leave lest something happen to ya' "

"I'll be fine Pip, I have a gun I believe that I can protect myself from whatever little 2 bit terror wanders the city." She said.

"Can you protect yourself from me?" He asked, coming up behind her and placing his hands on her shoulders in a vice like grip.

" Let go of me." She stammered.

"Why, you can protect yourself can't you?" he said. She stood up to attempt to twist from his grip, bringing them both to the ceramic tile floor. He straddled the virgin maiden, and pinned her arms harshly above her head. "Get off of me now." She screamed.

"Do you think that ever works when a man rapes a woman?" HE asked. Integra twisted feverishly, and a small whimper escaped her throat. Anxiety, tension, anger and depression filled her body, but there was something else, an emotion she had not felt in a long time, Fear. It was Fear that was beginning to consume her entire body, fear that made her scream, she screamed but no one heard. There was no one near to hear her anguished plights.

"Pip, please I beg you stop." She whined.

"Say what you want but words can not help you now." She knew what was about to happen, she knew and yet she knew she couldn't stop it. Almost on the verge of tears she closed her eyes. She could feel his hands touching her, feeling her, violating her. She waited in agonizing fear, his hot breath on her face was nauseating. His rough callused hands caressed the tender mounds of flesh hidden under the masculine garments she wore. He forced himself into her tight resisting flesh, which tore and bled. Integra could feel a warm liquid running between her thighs, it took her only a few moments to catch the scent among the other that was strictly male. It was blood.

"You're mine Integra, now and forever, no matter who comes into your life you will always be mine. He whispered heatedly into her ear, before muttering, "Merry Fucking Christmas Bitch." And lifting himself from her damaged body. She laid there for a moment in shock of the action that had just taken place.

Integra left her office and proceeded up to her room where she showered, washing away the disgusting scent of the man. She could scrub her skin raw but his scent would always be there. Afterwards she clothed herself in her robe, laid down on her bed and cried.
