Well What If
"Into the Black"

It was getting dark as Alex ran top speed to trace the source of that fuzzy little blur. Thinking back on it, did he really expect it to be her? This was freaking Japan! Why she would have done the jump from Atlanta to Shinjuki if she was truly still alive was beyond him at the moment. So he ran anyway into the abyss that swallowed the little area of the city not alight. Hmm ... that blur did look predominantly red ... Oh no! "Hello, Judas Priest!"
Crap! "What do you want, Demon?" Not this asshole!
"Nothing. Just enjoying this lovely country." His grin showed off his ungodly white fangs.
"You're disgusting. You know you're following me. Why don't we fight and get this over with?"
"I've been bored so I've been tracking you for a little while. On and off, really. That was a cute girl. Back in America. I'm surprised. Why didn't you kill her?"
"What! I'll destroy you, Hell beast!"
"Really? Then why haven't you done it already?"
Alex snarled fiercely as he lunged with his blade out at Alucard.
"Don't you want to know what I did with her?"
Alex froze in his tracks as these icy words sunk into his brain. His eye twitched quickly as he turned to look at the awful abomination, Alucard, Hellsing's slave vampire. "What did you just say, Vampire?"
"Oh ... nothing," he grinned and dissolved into the surrounding air.
"Come back here, Vampire!" He ran around frantically looking for any wispy trail of the vampire but he could find none.
He grunted as he melted to his knees and caught himself with his strong, large hands and looked up at the sky. "Why! Why God! Why do you put me through this crap!"
"Because you're an ass." Alucard's voice rang like a silver bell through the night air. Soon his visage could be seen forming above the bar. So Alex jumped to the roof of the little establishment.
"What were you saying about her? Why are you following me?" His voice thundered with such force in his frenzied anger.
"I already told you. I was bored."
"What did you do to her?"
"Oh ... nothing."
"Demon! You know you did something to her but if you killed her just go on with it and tell me now. Before I must destroy you once and for all."
"Huh, well if you put it that way ... no. I don't think I will. And I don't think you will succeed in that little goal of yours."
"Vampire! Tell me now!"
"Now why should I do th-" Before the word could slither from his mouth a blessed blade flew by his face and lodged into the roof not two feet away from where his dark form presided.
"Well... If you put it that way ..." And within moments he was gone again, as the black clouds circling Anderson's head above.
"Damn!" He struck the thick air, swirling with dark blue mist, hitting the rooftop with a loud shuttering slice with his silver blade. The embedded weapon vibrated quickly as he cursed the damned undead mother who had feed the creature Alucard by the metaphoric teet. The sky seemed to swallow his strong body in its smokey cloak. He was fading, as that damned Alucard, into the unknown and forever questioning darkness that came to engulf the night world into the black.
