[ Something's wrong. The wound at her throat doesn't immediately close. The blooding slows, but it doesn't stop. The other blows she amasses heal similarly slowly. Vampires ten times this whelp's age have failed to leave lasting marks on her. Dracula's blood is infuriating, she'll need to eat again to recover her strength.
She isn't tiring, though her injuries are beginning to slow her down. But she knows how long this has taken. She's all too keenly aware. They don't have long before dawn.
She'd rather hoped to stay within the spirit of the rules, for appearances' sake. But- well. The little prince allowed her to wear her false tooth. She's within the letter of them, and that's enough. She reaches into her mouth, tugging out the ornate golden tooth there, and twists the top of it with all the delicacy that anyone could muster in the middle of a vampire fight.
It's in the middle of a transformation that she catches Alucard with the tooth barely a minute later. She'd grabbed onto his fur as a wolf to wrestle his jaws away from her and when he changes shape to loose her grip, she drives the fake fang into his neck.
And then she relaxes, letting herself stretch as the tooth injects its poison. It's done. ]
Oh, dearest. Aren't you proud of what you helped me achieve? I wouldn't have had that little toy without your help.
