374 ♦ dreams
( unwilling vampire )

[A rather young-looking Zero, around the age of 13, has been wandering the Dome for some time, now. He has no real destination in mind, but instead is just trying to figure out where he is, in general, and how he even got here. It hardly takes much for him to grow frustrated; upset, as well, but that part won't outwardly show.

All he knows is that this place definitely is not home.

At some point he winds up near the Blood Shack. It's as if on instinct alone that he finds the place. He's already keen to the presence of blood in the air as it is with being a vampire hunter. . . . Only, it's been hardly a month since he was turned into a vampire— the very thing he now loathes with every fiber of his being. He still keeps a bandage wrapped around his throat, while also in part to hide a rather large "tattoo" on the left side of his neck.

The very heady scent of blood in the air affects him belatedly, hitting his senses like a ton of bricks. And immediately is he both desperate and hateful. He initially can't even breathe, trembling where he stands with a hand clutching his chest over his heart. The desire to enter the Blood Shack to ease just how much he's physically aching is overwhelming. His other hand moves to claw at the side of his throat where that woman sank her fangs into him. Turning him into an unforgivable monster.

. . .So he turns to run, scrambling to get as far away as he can from such horrible temptation.

He isn't fully paying attention to anyone who might be in the area, only glaring at them before sneering. His eyes are a brilliant and bloody red, unbeknownst to him.]

What are you looking at?

hatefully! Also, Zero can sense vampires, just as an FYI to any who might comment. ]

	You're lying. [And yet Zero does what he's able to not be alarmed by the fact (or at least not outwardly show it). It could be the very opposite of his own words— the complete truth. The presence of blood is suffocating, and he's undeniably thirsty.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Look, kid, the only lie I tell strangers is that I'm not going to hurt them. [That's...not exactly true, but close enough.] Besides, what harm will it do to look in a goddamn mirror? I'm not Bloody Mary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hatefully 2016-05-15 12:07 am UTC (link)
	It's not as if I even have a mirror. [His hands ball into fists, fangs clenched.] I'd hurt you before you could. That's my job. [Or so he's forcing himself to believe. He's a hunter, born and raised, first and foremost.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatasshole 2016-05-16 02:32 am UTC (link)
	Oh come on. [Damon sighs, rolls his eyes — and rips open his wrist with his fangs. He shoves the bloody wound in the kid's face.] Still think you're not a vampire? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[His eyes go wide, eyes further darkening. Where he's from, it isn't unusual at all for vampires to drink the blood of another.]

S-Stop it!

[He won't! He very forcefully and violently goes to push the other back. Although he's on the small side for his age, there's no guessing the amount of inhuman strength he harbors. Although he stumbles back just after to put more space between them.]

So maybe I am, but I'm a hunter first. I was born one and that's what I'll carry out!

[Even if he doesn't feel strong enough for anything right now.]

	A vampire hunter vampire. That's so cute. [While the kid does stumble away, Damon reaches out to grab him by the collar of his shirt.] Listen, Little Hunter. The longer you ignore these urges of yours, the more likely you are to end up hunting humans instead of vampires. So get over yourself, go into my bar, and I'll get you a pint of O Positive. Capiche?

[Even while grabbed he forces his head away, absolutely needing to put more space between himself and the blood on this vampire's wrist.]

And I never meant to be turned. I've been raised as a hunter, it's in my very blood; I rather be dead than a monster!

[Truefax. Although speaking it aloud may have been risky. It may be a fact that hunters possess vampire DNA within them, but it's hardly a trace of it.]

So what do you mean to say, that you've abstained in the past? I've been doing perfectly fine over this past month so far.

[Lies, really.]

[Damon snorts. He's going to ignore that "monster" jab in favor of dealing with the abstaining comment.] I'm not dumb enough to try "abstaining". That would be my brother. He's the good guy who doesn't drink human blood; I'm the bad guy who does. And yet somehow, his kill count is way higher than mine. You know why? He never learned any freaking self-control.

And if you're this upset over one bloody little wrist, you clearly don't have much in the way of self-control either. Come on.

[He heads into the bar, hopefully with the child in tow.]

A brother, huh. . .

[There's no way that doesn't strike a chord in him (of his twin), frustrating him at the same time. Such a comment more so him thinking aloud.

What makes Damon's blood all that much worse is the fact that, in his world, vampires drinking the blood of another vampire is completely normal.

His teeth clench, one hand balling into a fist in order to cover how another pang of distress and pain hits hard. His mouth and throat are aching and so dry that he can hardly take it.

. . .Which is why his strength is almost sapped, even while - again - he does possess plenty of it.]

I said I'm fine—!

[The words are weaker this time. Damon will probably be able to tug him along by now.]

	Say it all you want, but I don't believe you! [They get inside and Damon tosses the kid at one of the stools (that's the intention, anyway) and heads behind the bar to get a bottle of O Positive, which he pours into a whiskey glass.] Sorry I don't have any sippy cups.

[It's a more pointless bout of annoyance when he sits on stool only due to the plain fact that he's still on the short side.]

I'm not some baby.

[He bites back, despite how the other would only laugh.

Practically trembling, he moves to grab the cup in spite of himself, but doesn't quite pick it up yet His grip tight enough that it causes hairline fractures alone the glass. Any further and it would have broken entirely.

His other hand moves to the cup as well. Head tipped downward he still tries to fight it. His words come strained and hushed.]

I don't want to be like this.

	It'll grow on you, kid. Trust me. [Damon hadn't wanted to be a vampire at first either. Immortality had only been a means to an end — spending forever with Katherine — but without her, he was just a monster who craved death. Now, of course, he loves everything about being a vampire (also, he now hates Katherine). Some things just take time.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But I don't want it to! [His teeth clench. It's more of a pain how he can feel tears coming on.] I don't want to hurt anyone! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Such a statement only further angers and unsettles him simply because it's the complete truth.] Much of that also can be a choice. I don't want to end up causing that kind of thing. [But then again, he doesn't deserve anything good to begin with. No matter what the Chairman and Yuuki seem to say. In fact- ] I'd rather be the one who's hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Damon's patience for this tortured poet routine is wearing thin.] Oh will you just drink your goddamn drink? Jesus Christ. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Only made worse since even before all of this - being turned, witnessing his family being slaughtered, etc etc - he wasn't the happiest sort. Being guilt-ridden was especially a thing. But that was a product of his twin.

He doesn't want to give in. He can't give in. But his own tolerance, in a (albeit vague) similar way with Damon's patience, is rapidly slipping away. His entire being is aching, his willpower positively crumbling.

It's a great wonder how he's even made it this far.]

'Tch

[His jaw clenches. The whole time his hand has remained around the glass, and for a second time it comes close to shattering.

His other hand is balled into a white-knuckled fist, nails digging into his palm. When he finally does down the drink it's completely in one go. The temptation to use his finger to get the rest is all too real, but in contrast easy to not do so.

This time the cup does splinter and is reduced to shards upon the bar top. His eyes shut as if it will prevent any of the tears that threaten to well up. . .but more so, as if it will leave him to block out how satisfying - even pleasurable - all of that was.]

	That was melodramatic. [Damon grabs a rag and tosses it at the kid's head.] Clean it up yourself. You're lucky I don't charge you for destruction of property. [He pours himself another glass of blood ... and then grabs a second one for Zero.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Do you really think I give a damn?

[His whole life is probably melodramatically in the eyes of the other.

He does do as told. He doesn't care how some of the shards dig into his palm enough to draw blood.

The second is gulped down even more quickly than the first.

Afterward he forces himself to scoot the stool back and slips off of it. Ignoring how thirsty he still is is a bit easier now.]

I'm leaving. I can't stand to be in this place another second. [Nor does he want to see Damon anymore.]
