Alucard had left the institute and come to New York City to get these new books he had a store holding for him. He didn't have space for them in his room, but he couldn't contain himself and had to go buy them now. He was dressed in some normal cloths: dark red plaid shorts, a black belt, black button-up shirt, and the sandals that strapped up his legs. He wondered to a part of the city that was more out of it then on the edge to get to the bookstore he liked to use. The area saw few visitors and the people hardly bothered you by trying to start a conversation or see what you were doing or getting too close to you. He had brought a satchel he owned as well that was a black with dark red roses and petals on it. He didn't particularly like the thing since his family had gotten it for him as a joke since they liked to call him the blood-rose of the family. He went to were the store was and noticed it was closed.
Alucard was annoyed that it wasn't open on the day he had decided to come get his books. He looked around and spotted a girl around his age with auburn hair like himself and from the way she was acting, she was an anti-social introvert like himself. He might as well go see if she knows anything about when it was going to be open again. He walked over to her.
" Excuse me miss, I was wondering if you know when that store over there was going to be open again? I came for some books I ordered and find them closed. I'd be more then happy to compensate you for your trouble." Alucard asked her in what he thought was a friendly voice, which it was just slightly more friendly then normal.

Shaun was in the city today for reasons she didn't know. For some reason though, she'd actually wanted to go with him, which was rare behavior for her. Either way, he'd vanished about an hour ago, telling her to wait here, in some out of the way neighborhood, for him. She didn't mind, sitting on the sidewalk with her back against the outer wall of, what appeared to be, a bookstore.
She was ignoring most everyone, her gaze going right to left every few minutes as she waited for her brother to return. No sign of him. Still, she waited. After half an hour though, she finally pulled out a book from her, a little to large for a day trip to New York, backpack. She'd only been reading for... oh, ten minutes, when she heard a voice far to close for comfort.
Her dark eyes turned upward, staring at this intruder with a look that said she didn't know what to make of him. Moments of silence followed as her gaze quickly went right and left, hoping her brother would be on his way back, purely because.... Well, she really didn't have the social skills for this sort of encounter. "I.... I don't know." Her voice was a little shaky, her silent fear of strangers slightly showing through.

Alucard stood there after asking her if she knew anything in silence for several minutes. He didn't mind the awkward silence, but he was disappointed when she said she didn't. He just nodded slightly in a way that she was sure to take as meaning he understood in reply. He was about to figure out what to do next when he noticed something about the girl he had talked to. The girl's skin was pale and showed all he signs of someone who was feeling the effects of blood lose or just a low amount of blood. Alucard was good at noticing this kind of thing, mostly due to the nature of his mutation. He reached inside his satchel and pulled out a bottle with a light red liquid inside. He opened up the top and set it next to the girl and took a step back so she wouldn't feel so pressured.
" Your low on blood, drink it. That will help you recover it much faster then it normally would." Alucard said to the girl in the attempt at a friendly tone again.
The girl didn't seem to want to drink it and mistrusted him. Alucard sighed as he picked the bottle back up and sat next to the girl. He pulled out the small razor he was carrying on him and cut himself in several places. He used his power and formed the blood into what looked like a large rose bush. He used his power to stitch up the wound and remove what was left of the blood away from the cut. He had become very pale and it was obvious he had used up a large, almost dangerous, amount of blood to do this. He didn't like using his powers, but he had already done some unusual things by approaching the girl so he might as well do this. He drank about a forth of the bottle, and shortly after he drank from it his skin had gotten back some color and he wasn't feeling so dizzy. He held the bottle out to the girl next to him.
" See? It is safe and it really works. Drink some." Alucard said to her in his usual tone of voice since he was still feeling some of the effects of what he had done.

Why... Why was he still there? Just... staring at her? It made Emily nervous, which was expected. More so, she wanted her brother to come back quickly. Social contact wasn't exactly something she did on a daily basis.
Then.... The unexpected happened. It wasn't often people noticed her anemia, but he was one of them. Even stranger? That he seemed almost... Prepared for it. She flinched away from him when she got close enough to set the bottle next to her. After a moment though, she looked at the bottle, a horribly startled look on her face. She didn't take it.
He didn't take her silent no for an answer though, because he was sitting next to her before she really knew what was going on. Even worse? He'd pulled out a razor, and cut himself! Who the hell did that? Especially among a stranger? A horrified look was permanently glued to her face, that grew in terror when... The blood moved on it's own.
She was actually frozen there, unable to react in any way until he spoke once more, breaking her from her terrified daze. "N-N-No." It'd been a while since Emily stuttered, but the more nervous she got, the stronger it would show through.
She didn't know just what the liquid was, but, by the looks of it, it might be a slightly watered down bottle of blood. Bad idea, especially for her. Her body did not like blood that wasn't hers, which was probably why she never had transfusions.

Alucard was still feeling the effects of the blood lose he was suffering even though he had drank some of the bottle. He would have had to drink the whole thing, not just a forth of it to recover enough blood not to slip off to sleep in a moment. He was feeling annoyed because he knew he was about to nod off to sleep and she was refusing to take his offer when he had been so nice, as he saw it, about the whole thing twice. He pulled his satchel off and grabbed the bottle. He used what was left of his energy to move in front of the girl. He placed his hand on her jaw and squeezed until her mouth was open and then made her drink from the bottle.
" Stop struggling little bird and just drink the water, you will feel better about it." Alucard said in a weak voice. " I don't like having to do this any more then you do."
Alucard had gotten enough of the water into her to make her feel better and stronger when everything went black on him. He passed out and fell to the ground with a loud thump. He didn't crack his head open luckily, but he did hit it hard enough he would have a bruise there for a while.

Shaun was bloody bored! all this people walking up and down the city streets and what were they doing? Nothing! they were just living their miserable little lives in holes in the wall, scuttling back and forth to get food and go to 'work'. What a pisshole that was...At least he would never have to worry about that though...he had a plan.
He came to New York with a purpose...to find the leader of the brotherhood. He had 'persuaded' a number of their members to give him information about this 'leader' everyone was talking about.
The thing was no one knew a damn thing bout 'im. That pissed Shaun off, we wasn't going to be sitting around waiting for some punks to get their shit together. Instead he decided to have a little 'fun'. It was the least they could do for inconveniencing HIM like that. Sides it looked like the Brotherhood needed to do a little weeding. As far as he saw it he did them a favor, they should thank him.
Shaun walked down the street dressed in black black dress shirt black overcoat black dress pants and sunglasses, twas all generic stuff, not the namebrand stuff he wanted, but that would change soon enough, plus he had to admit he looked good.
Shaun walked down the street, towards his darling little sister, little angel, always did what she was told, and Shaun couldn't ask for anything more, not to mention her blood was worth a fortune. As he turned the corner he saw some kid paying a little too much attention to Emmy. Shaun stopped and looked over the top of his sunglasses "Now what the hell do we have here?" Then Shaun saw something that made his blood boil. The boy, the little snot that he was grabbed his sister's mouth and forced it open. HIS sister's! and then he forced her to drink some kind of liquid!
"The fuck?" Shaun uttered as he dashed for him. He managed to reach the little maggot just as he passed out and hit the ground...Bastard! Shaun put his full weight behind his kick and smashed the kid right on the skull! He repeated the process at least 4 or 5 more times in succession as he screamed at his sister:
"What did he make you drink! Eh what was it! What'd this sicko do!" he screamed while repeatedly kicking the kid's head in.
Nobody and I mean nobody messes with MY sister!

Emily was looking away from him now, waiting to see if her brother was in sight yet, and half hoping he wouldn't be there when she looked again. That wasn't the case, because before she really knew what was happening, he was right in front of her, blocking any chance of escape. Instantly she looked at him, eyes wide in instant terror. Even more so when he grabbed her jaw and pried her mouth open. "S-sto..!" The liquid was forced down her throat. And Emmy, trying to keep herself from swallowing, started coughing and trying to fight, kicking her arms and legs.
Just like that though... He was out? She didn't really have time to register what was going on, because, just like she'd been hoping for, Shaun appeared out of no where. And... Oh was he angry. Really angry... Coughing up as much of the liquid as possible, she crawled out of Shaun's range, so he didn't accidentally kick her in the process.
"I d-don't know.. B-b-but...." It'd probably been a few years since Shaun heard her stutter, if that said how freaked out she was. Shaking, she pointed at the... blood rose bush, trying to avoid seeing what Shaun did. If she didn't see it, it wasn't happening...

Alucard was suddenly woken up by a man kicking his head. The kick managed to break skin and cause blood to seep out. He quickly covered the area with the blood and hardened it into a shield to absorb the rest of the kicks he was sure this man was going to deliver to him. He had to manipulate his blood to cut himself again so he could get more blood to use on this guy who was kicking his head. After the forth or fifth kick, he quickly moved so that the blood he had been gathering quickly looped around the man's body. He pulled on it as he rolled away from him and got himself up to one knee. His head was throbbing from the first kick and from when he fell to the ground as he held the blood rope that had the man completely trapped and forced to his knees. He was annoyed and this man had just volunteered to deal with it.
" Mind you stop bahhing so much you mindless sheep? I didn't do anything to the girl. The liquid I tried to give her is meant to recover blood faster and deal with anemia and blood lose." Alucard said to the man with signs of how annoyed he was showing in his voice. " Don't struggle either, your going to cut yourself otherwise."
Alucard had wrapped the man up tightly and any move he made had the potential of cutting him.

Another mutant freak huh? he thought grinning maniacally, he was going to enjoy this, the bastard deserved what was coming to him. He was a wicked sinner, and as the saying goes there ain't no rest for the wicked...death would be too nice for this guy.
As the blood wrapped around his body Shaun just grinned wider has his skin hardened and his pores opened to absorb the liquid as it touched him. His skin quickly grew black and his orange hair became a legitimate brick red The liquid upon making contact with his skin would be unable to hold a tight grip without being forced into his system and neutralized by his now acidic internal environment.
As the blood came into contact with him it began to decompose genetically causing a chain reaction that would work its way back to the source as the blood boiled and popped with a satisfying hiss. Once exposed to this for a moment Shaun made it so that the blood would solidify. In the end the texture of the dead blood would have a lot more in common with brittle licorice then it would with other liquids.
Shaun Grinned his arms becoming incredibly bulky and his teeth becoming sharp as he reached his now free arm out to his prey. It extended and retracted at his will and it lunged with lightning speed toward the boy's neck.

Emily hadn't noticed, that the small amount of the strange liquid she had swallowed actually made her feel a tiny bit better... It was odd. She was so used to having a light head, to always being anemic... The fact that her constant discomfort passed, just a little....
And then.... Shaun was at it. Her eyes widened, as she stumbled to her feet. No, no no. Shaun would... He'd kill the intruder! Sure, neither she, nor Shaun, wanted intruders in their world, but.... He couldn't kill in public. Okay, sure she didn't want him killing at all.... But if he was seen.... Someone could take him away from her.
"S-Shaun...." Stumbling forward, she tried to get ahead of him, and his attack, her eyes pleading. "Not here.... P-please."
She didn't know if it would stop him, but she was hoping he'd have the will to stop. She was right between him and this intruder after all, and he'd end up hurting her if he continued on this streak. Her blood was pretty special to him, accidentally hurting her wasn't something he'd want, wasting whatever blood she did lose in the attack. Still, she flinched... Just in case he didn't care.

Alucard noticed his blood was being torn apart by this guy. He was a mutant who seemed to be able to change genetic make up, how else could he have altered his own body and destroyed the blood? He could feel that something perfect had happened for Alucard though and the other man had yet to notice it either. His blood had managed to touch the other man's blood before it was too damaged, so he now had a short window in which he could manipulate the other man's blood. This might have been his only chance to take the guy down since he had already lost too much blood before the man had attacked. He was about to manipulate the other man's blood when the girl suddenly got between the two of them. The other man wouldn't be able to stop his attack in time due to the short distance. Alucard moved on impulse and quickly got to the girl and spun them around so he would end up taking the attack in the back and the girl would be unharmed.
" Don't be reckless with your life little bird, how else will I get to apologize for having to do that earlier?" Alucard said right before the arm hit him.
Alucard had managed to make a weak shield in the spot it hit, but it only took away some of the impact. Alucard manipulated the other man's blood to it cut his veins randomly all over his body and would cause him to be in some pain and bleeding. He wasn't sure how much harm doing that had actually done, but he didn't want to let that chance slip away without doing something.

Shaun ragged as his sister pleaded, this guy was a smug sonofabitch, and people like that never got away with it, he made sure of it.
Soon enough though Em got in the way, ruining his fun. Honestly if her blood wasn't so valuable he would gladly hit her just to teach her a lesson about not getting in the way, but he simply couldn't afford that, literally the amount of blood she would lose would mean losing thousands of dollars, and that was an amount you didn't toy with...at least for now.
Luckily, the boy got in his way before he grabbed her. It would have been fairly simple to just grab her by the neck and toss her aside, without cutting her, but her foolish move had given him just the kind of opportunity he needed. His self-righteous prey could not help, but to help her, and he stumbled right into his hands...perfect...maybe he wouldn't have to punish Em after all...
Shaun gripped the man's neck and delighted in feeling his blood coursing through his jugular. One small cut and he could end him right there....blood controlling powers or no...but that was too easy....not enough of a struggle...as ironic as he could make it.
No he was going to enjoy this...He slowly tightened his grip on the boy's neck suffocating him. As he suffocated the boys neck began to turn black as it was being genetically decomposed cell, by cell.
It was then that Shaun felt an odd sensation as his blood vessels popped causing him to bleed internally....
This was Perfect! what better way to send this man to his doom, then to share in the very same pain as he watched him wither and die before him! Shaun laughed quietly throwing back his head causing his sun glasses to hit the floor. This struggle was exciting this struggle was what he lived for!....sadly though it would be over soon...and he would have to go back to being bored...
The hold continued for a few more minutes the blood vessels in Shaun's eyes starting to burst leaving them red and covered in blood before his natural defenses took over mutating and healing his internal structure into something similar to an ant, which held within it no true blood...all that was left was to watch the boy suffer...

Shit. Stupid intruder! Why, why did he do that?! Shaun would stop, if it meant saving some money. It was a little sad... How focused her older brother was when it came to the value of her blood. But, at least, when necessary, she could use to try to calm him down.
Today though, just wasn't her day, because her being out of the way, meant nothing was in Shaun's path, and, nothing would stop him. At least, not easily. She stumbled away from the intruder, who was under attack once again. "Stupid... H-he'd stop. He'd h-have to." The intruder wouldn't understand what she meant, and he wasn't supposed to. All he needed to know, was she could have stopped Shaun, even if it hadn't looked like he would.
Seeing what was happening though, she shrank back, trembling slightly. Her brother was terrifying when he got like this, but that wasn't the only thing that scared her. He frequently dosed himself with her blood, and, because of her power, she could guess around how long each dose would last. And Shaun didn't have that much time. "S-Shaun..." She was shaking her head, silently telling him that it was going to wear off any moment now, which was bad news when he was using his power this much...

Alucard could feel the man doing something to his neck other then squeezing it. He guessed it was the same sort of thing he had done to his blood earlier. The man was overconfident, but he had a good reason at the moment to be so. The man was lucky he had caught Alucard when he was so low on blood or this situation wouldn't be so one-sided. He was trying to think of how to get out of this when an idea came to him. This guy was too confident so that he had become careless. Alucard knew this was going to be hard, but was his last chance.
Alucard quickly manipulated the blood he was going to use to shield himself into blades and struck into the man's arm faster then his body could react to it. He had aimed for and some how managed to hit the man's tendons, which severed them apart. He felt the man's hand loosen and he quickly hit the man's arm with his arms. This caused the man's grip to come completely off. As the man's grip came off, Alucard quickly move back and shot what was left of blood he was going to use for a shield in the form of a high speed blood bullet at the man's chest. He didn't have time to aim so he wasn't sure where it would hit the man if it did hit hi mat all. He was too low on blood now to afford to do something like this again, so he made sure he had some distance between them now so he could at least avoid any attacks. Alucard was just lucky he was use to fighting and moving while this low on blood.

"Stop i-it! Please d-don't hurt him!" She wasn't pleading to Shaun this time, she was begging the intruder. Shaun's boost was going to wear off any time now, and if the fight went on any longer, it could have dire consequences. Already, it looked like the tides were turning, Shaun showing signs of weakening. Not good. She covered her mouth as the invader attacked her brother. She didn't know how long her brother's temporary armor would hold up, especially to attacks faster then he could see. All she knew, was she didn't want him to get hurt.
It was a little messed up. Her brother was crazy when he decided to try to kill someone, and she could only stop him some of the time, the rest of the time... Well even she wasn't enough then. But when her brother became the 'victim' in the fight, she would do absolutely anything to defend him. Even take a bullet for him..
Speaking of bullets, there was one now. With out even thinking to consider the consequences, she leaped into action, quickly stepping in front of her brother, who was slowly losing the boost her blood gave him, and taking the hit. Her smaller frame meant the bullet hit her a little higher then if Shaun had taken the shot. While it would hit him somewhere in the mid chest area, it sunk into her shoulder, barely missing anything vital. Still, there was blood soaking her plain shirt instantly.... Or... Was it blood? Anyone who wasn't familiar with her mutation would probably be shocked. it wasn't red. It was silver. Silver blood. It'd probably make people think of the first Harry Potter movie, and the Unicorn blood. Pretty similar, if you though about it.
Emmy flinched, biting back a cry of pain. It wasn't entirely from being shot though, half of the pain came from the bullet being blood. Her body didn't like foreign blood after all, even if it was hardened into a bullet. Shit.... She should have thought that threw... A little better. She held her shoulder, tears streaming down her cheeks as her shoulder burned. In regards to pain, foreign blood felt like the limb was being ripped off.
