(My Internet was down for the week so this is a bit late sorry for anyone actually following it. -Debrainer)

The nighttime air was fresh but cold, the new gun weighing down my greatcoat. Few people where out and about, pity that, I could do with a bite to... Ow, the goddamn arm brace poked my armpit for the twentieth time. I stepped into a back alley and brought out the gun. After some calculated destruction the arm brace was lying, deserted in the alley. As I turned to leave I felt something metal on my neck.

"Give me your money."

It was gonna be a bad night.

I turned around. Some guy was aiming a gun at my face.

"okay I know you've got a gun so just take it out."

I reached into my coat.

"You mean this one?"

The mugger stared in amazement. He lowered his gun. Good. I leapt at his face and knocked him sprawling. Next thing I knew I was at his neck, feeding as the beast I had become. I strained against my hunger and pulled myself away. Every part of me screamed to keep drinking, but I didn't. I reached into my coat and pulled out the med kit I always carried. My hands we're shaking as I applied the bandage. The mugger's breathing slowed and he had a peaceful expression on his face. I thought he was dead. Guilt flooded through my mind and I stood up. Which was when he started snoring.

Alucard pulled the trigger and grinned as his target evaporated into dust. He opened a portal and ended up in front of Integra's desk.

"Target neutralised master"

"good work, you may go"

Integra made a check mark on one of her papers. Looking up she noticed Alucard was still standing in front of her.

"Yes"

"I have some business to attend to and so I won't be killing anymore scum for you tonight."

"What sort of business"

"My sort of business."

Alucard stepped through a portal and into one of the many back alleys of London.

I walked down the road towards my apartment. It was getting early and I knew I had to get back. I walked towards the entrance when I felt a shiver going through my spine. Someone had just walked over my grave. I turned around and saw the monster in the red coat standing behind me. I pulled my gun out. I loaded one of the special clips and flicked the weapon to full auto. Then I fired. No way that bastard was standing up after this. I heard a people screaming as the gunfire split the night silence. Saw out of the corner of my a eye, a police man aiming a gun at me. He started firing. I felt the bullets hit me. I was thrown against a wall. The man in the red coat was nowhere to be seen. I smiled. And stood up. The police man was staring in amazement, and then horror. He started firing again. Bullets hit me but somehow it just felt like someone was tapping me with a finger. I gave the police man a one finger salute, and walked into the back alley.

I through myself on my bed and shut my eyes. The vampire was dead and I had used one of my special clips up. What to do now. What purpose. Which was when a old proverb through my head.

"Never count an enemy dead until you see his body and even then you can't be sure."

I shivered. No, I was being stupid, not even a vampire could stand up to a full clip of silver bullets.

"Never count an enemy dead until you see his body and even then you can't be sure."

I reloaded a new clip into my gun. Then sat back on my bed. And closed my eyes. I was at the brink of sleep when I heard a noise from the kitchen. A shiver went down my spine. It was probably nothing

"Never count an enemy dead until you see his body and even then you can't be sure."

I pulled out the gun and moved towards the kitchen.

I smashed the kitchen door open and rushed in. There he was. Intact and perfectly fine. No chances this time. I fired twice, one in the head and one in the heart. He flew back into the wall and his hat fell at my feet. I grinned, no more getting up for him. My grin drained. He stood up, Pulled out his own gun and fired. I felt the bullets enter and leave my chest. White hot needles of pain shot through my spine. I vaguely felt myself hitting a wall. The bullets where melting me, my skin burned, I hit the ground and started writhing in pain. Then all of a sudden it all stopped. The pain was gone. I looked at the holes in my chest. Which began to disappear as a stream of blackness filled the gaps. The monster was shaking his head. I got to my feet and raised my gun and fired. He staggered backwards. Bullets entering his chest and and exiting through his back, blood sprayed across the wall. I was laughing wildly. No more getting up. My gun stopped. The slided clicked back. Damn. Out of ammo. The vampire straightened out and repaired his body.

"Well, Well, Well, It seems your kind is back." he muttered.

"What do you want you heartless bastard."

I slid another clip in and opened fire. With the same result.

"I think we don't really need to do that anymore. Can't we just talk?"
