*Alucard pov* 

As I was arguing with the multicolored girl about the fact that I couldn't understand her if she spoke so quietly, the thugs from earlier came back. They seemed angry about something. Maybe their mothers didn't love them enough, or something. You don't see me violently attacking people... Well at least those I do attack deserve it. 

Idiot thug 1: Hey you punk, back away from the girl.

Alucard: Not now you guys, the grown ups are talking.

Thug 2: Grown up? Hahaha you both are so small that a sneeze could blow you to Atlas!

Now I got a rule. DON'T MENTION MY HEIGHT!!! Yes I'm short but when you get locked in a basement for years, living on bread and water, you don't grow as much. Call me creepy fine, hell call me an emo and I'll just slap the shit outta you, but call me tiny and I'll castrate you. As it so happens these guys just wanted a beating.

Thug 1: Yeah why don't you run back to mommy migit before you get hurt. The boss wants a word with the bitch there.

I had enough! That's it! Line crossed! I'm pissed! Calling upon my darkness I impaled the first dipshit in front of me. Sucker punched him through his heart. Blood sprayed out and covered the snow in a crimson sheen. Startled and horrified the thugs stood still as the tendril that killed their friend formed into a spear. The body slid along the shaft and hit the floor. Pulling it out I pointed the tip at the rest.

Alucard: Who else wants to die?

The thugs, in a bout of machismo and foolish bravery, made their final mistake. They pulled out little pocket knives, bats, and other random thug weapons and charged.

Alucard: Cute.

As they closed in I felt something in the back of my mind click. A missing puzzle piece finally put into place. Power surged into me and I honestly can say it excited me. As the first guy finally got close enough to swing his... Really? A goddamn pipe? I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel here... Well I ducked under it and used the back of the spear to sweep him off his feet. 

From behind me I was about to stab another when Neo slit his throat. It seems she was also offended by the lack of manners shown here today. Well whatever she engaged the two closest to her while I focused on the guys in front. A guy charged me to get into my guard. Nice plan but useless. It's not a real spear it's a manifestation of my power. I split the spear in two the bottom half gaining a point and I jammed both ends into his stomach.

As I ripped the sharpened sticks I was now wielding out of the current gutless oaf. The guy I introduced to the concrete earlier decided to interrupt my eloquent conversation with his buddy and tackled me. He tried to get on top and stab me. The ensuing tumble left us in the middle of the street in the alley startling some passerbys. And holy shit they would not stop screaming. Distracted I accidentally let the thug slice my torso.

A searing pain flared from my wound. My common sense was overridden by my anger. All of the nearby shadows whipped to life and wrapped up the guy and left him helpless. Walking slowly towards him grabbed his head and made him stare into my eyes as I commanded the shadows to crush him and as he screamed and begged for mercy, I decided to end it spectacularly. The shadows then lifted him into the air and with a massive pull from both sides, ripped him in half.

The crowd was petrified. Blood sprinkled from the sky like rain and coated everyone in a deep red. Still screaming they finally decided to do the first good decision I saw from anyone other than me today. They ran for their lives. Good, all the screaming was getting annoying.

Of course that was when the pain and fatigue hit and I felt like my chest was on fire. My vision went blurry and I thought I was going to vomit. I tried to walk away but all that caused was my elegant fall flat on my face. Cursing I flipped myself over and considered my options. My body however betrayed me and I ended up passing out.

Timeskip

Waking up in a unfamiliar place, I groaned. The wound was still there and I still felt like shit. Trying to sit up I was immediately pushed back down. That girl from earlier was next to the bed and forcing me to lay there. Normally that would earn her a slap across the face but I wasn't in the mood. 

Alucard: where am I?

Neo: Your in one of my ex family's safe houses. Your safe now.

Alucard: Heh you can speak louder than a whisper. Why didn't you before?

Neo: I'm from a cruel family of both assassins and hunters that strive for perfection. I'm a failure with a useless semblance. If I don't talk I don't get noticed and ridiculed.

Alucard: Assassins and hunters... Weird but what do you mean failure? 

Neo: I refused to be their puppet. My semblance is making solid illusions. Not as useful as controlling electricity like my father's side of the family and my mother was a concubine so I wasn't wanted in the first place. I hated them and got out. Killing and stealing is all I know however so I stole from this redheaded pimp looking guy and I guess he found and sent those guys after me.

Alucard: Ok wasn't thinking I was gonna get a entire backstory there but fair enough. For what it's worth I had a similar experience with my family.

I then explained everything to her. My parents abandoning me to their friends so they didn't have to raise me. The cruelty of the roses. And my escape and lack of plan. Why I told her my story I did not know. Her eyes seemed to coax my story from me. I even mentioned my elder "sisters" for gods sake. 

(A/n yes he is a year younger than ruby and I'm going to make her 16 or 17 when she joins beacon mainly for the fact that I'm not sure if I should make this a harem or not and I don't want the FBI in my ass if I do)

After I was done telling my story we both got real quiet. The silence was deafening. Then Neo looked up at me and I was met with tears in her multicolored eyes. She then seemingly forgot about the wound she herself dressed and crushed me in a hug. Crying loudly and sadly enough to bring tears in my eyes. I forgot I even could cry.

Once she settled down she asked

Neo: How about we stay together. We can watch each other's backs... And I don't want to be alone anymore...

She looked me in the eyes, her entire being hoping that I agreed. Why she wanted an asshole like me to join her I had no idea but...

Alucard: *sigh* ok.

(A/n well here's hoping that people like my attempt at a fight scene. I'm trying to make this story good but this is my first crack at it. For everyone's favorite ice cream girl yes she doesn't know Roman yet and yes I made her backstory up. Her wiki didn't say anything so I have her one that I felt fit her and get her to feel some connection to Alucard. I'm not sure if I'm gonna do a Rose family reaction to Alucard leaving so I guess tell me if you want me to write it or not. Thanks for reading)
