Deep within a ward of local hospital where patients of all ages suffering from different forms of cancer. Each one was awaiting for a surgery that would remove a tumor from their body, chemo treatment, or something medical related. Allowing certain nurses they had come to adore to care for their weak bodies.
Like now, around 4:07 AM that morning in a private room of terminal male patient had unscheduled visitors . In the form of a pale skinned woman in nurse's uniform holding the hand of toddler. Supervising a teenager male sitting rather close to the bed ridden man to point he had clear view of man's neck.
"Huwwy up Uncle Evan." The toddler was grumpily whined.
"Either its him or bag crap father gets from local blood bank." The woman was getting inpatient.
Not like being told to bite into the neck of a human's neck was hard for this particular young man. Since his blood preference was diseased blood flowing through veins of slumbering person under him. Its just the over whelming smell of this blood was welcoming to his nostrils not like chemical persuasive crap. He was having a hard time figuring out how to enjoy this meal.
"Evan!" He was reminded he didn't have all night, "Wake up call is in an hour."
"Yeah and I'm sleepy." The toddler mumbled.
This was where he took he made his choice to just pierce the flesh and blood vessels in slow matter. Before instantly latching on to the newly forming holes he started to make to not spell a drop. That flowed into his throat like sweet tasting liquid for about half an hour without waking the patient. After getting the fill he needed he pulled away leaving behind two circular puncture marks.
"One of those times I'm glad you work as a nurse here!" He was pleased with this meal.
"You done for the night?" She just stared his glazed over eyes.
Like this Evan cared after having mind blowing blood that wouldn't leave a terrible after taste in his mouth. As he removed him self completely from the bed side ready to return home with his sleepy nephew. By walking toward the yawning child beside his mother whining about uncle taking to long. Who happily giggled a little when taking into Evan's arm when picked up all at once.
"You heard from his father yet?" Evan turned away from the woman.
Being reminded of the one-night stand of pure bliss and passion she had Ren Maaka wasn't pleasing. She had known of his reputation about within the vampire community about feasting females. Didn't stop her from masking her self as mortal woman so she could satisfy her biological clock. After repeated psychical abuse her body was put through during the exchange of bodily fluids. She was the one to leave him sleeping in the hotel bed the casual sex hadn't place in. Where she would spend the next few months with a protruding stomach within the family's estate. Where she gave birth to her son in company of her family's only living elder and siblings. Left her to seek a more settled life like now by helping find certain people her siblings could feed from.
"No since elder of his family is a monster." Her answer seemed jumbled.
"Forgot you and Elda will never see eye to eye." Evan tried not to laugh.
Toddler in his arms had already fallen asleep during their conversation making it easy for them to chat. Only meant Evan had to be getting home before sun started to raise within a few hours. Had him making his way toward the room's only window opened for thousands of biddy, little eyes to watch. What their master had been up to since they help him arrive him with getting caught. Revealing them selves to be a few hundred bats flying in night sky outside a three story building.
Who ended up gathering closely to form a self levitating cloud of flying fur when Evan stepped out of the window. On to their back sides as he carefully held onto the slumbering child within his arms. Where he stood still so the bats could fly down to ground level all at the same time in quiet matter. Upon reaching the solid ground off the backs the Evan stepped rocking his nephew in this arms.
"Time for the long walk home, right little guy?" Evan whispered to the toddler.
This was where both of them were swarmed by the bats like cyclone of wind ready to swallow them up. Instead this was the bats way of seeing their master off before flying to his home them selves. Where they would wait his arrival since he usually liked walking back home when with his nephew. Allowing him to start his journey home like he always did with one step helping north.
He usual route to his home was a back alleys of strip malls that people rarely occupied during the day time. This allowed him to hide from prying eyes of whatever mortals was out at this hour. At the same time looking up toward the skyline that wasn't obscured by roof tops from building he passed. The scene of that put Evan at peace before he walked out on to the opened streets that were free of rushing cars, or passing cyclists. This was where his hold on the child still in his arms as few bats that weren't his appeared over his head. He disliked being out in the open see this city his family re-located too had already been claimed.
"Go tell your master if they want to see this child." He yelled to the bats, "To come to the Suuku Mansion."
With that he ended up picking up his pace to the point he leapt over railing separating the side walk from the road. Ended up making a detour into a near by park that had mostly trees that he used. To block the bats that been chasing them line of sight of them and the child in his arms. To only have his running come to an end when he came ran in to a clearing where a familiar scene was taking place. Since before him was a blonde haired woman dressed in black clothing leaning on someone. She looked like she was necking this unconscious human sitting upon a bench both occupied. Going unaware of Evan and his nephew bursting out of the brushes like that.
To only be alerted to them presence when she was just about to finish her feeding upon a human suffering from envy. By her the bats she had sight out to act as watch outs for others so she couldn't get caught. It seems she got caught by her own kind on a late night walk carrying young one. It seemed the smell Evan carried told her he most of fed just recently as child hadn't awaken yet. When she pulled away full from her meal leaving the alteration of her meal's memories to her bats. She could address the pair that seemed to be disturbing what she would call a peaceful meal.
"Something wrong?" She asked knowing he was running from her bats.
"No, since I found the owner of THIS annoyance." He meant the bats.
"I most re-train them since the barrier they made didn't keep you out." She narrowed her eyes toward Evan.
She ended up focusing her attention to slumbering child that had been in his arm the whole time. Even with his eyes closed the child looked like someone she was related to if his was shoulder length, and he wasn't in Evan's arms. Not like she was going to get chance to get a better view of child's face. Since the arms he been in blocked any further line of sight of him from her.
"You know who his father is?" She hoped he knew.
"Yes, but his birthmother isn't the kind of the woman confront the birthfather about it." Evan wondered if she knew.
This ended with him being allowed safe passage through the park with out the rest of her bats chasing them. In return he was to bring the child to her home at the end of the mouth to her home. He could meet the birthfather's family and birthfather that his sister didn't want him to know about.
"I'll send a bat at sun set that day to guide you." She further instructed him.
"It can meet me here since my family aren't fond of...strangers." He tried to sound calm
Both ended up going their own ways without looking back as one another when they both walked off. Heading to their homes that were on opposites end of the city after feeding from people with the blood preference type. Not knowing of what they were returning to when arriving to their houses.
A grand mansion from late 18th century that was shipped over from the states brick by brick stood proudly. Surrounding the structure was a garden that turned into heavy populated area of trees and other plant life. No human dare enter or hike because only animal found in treetops were bats. The stare alone these winged mammals gave anyone who weren't their master was terrifying. Leaving them to run scared from this place like they saw that could given them nightmares. Not knowing a family new to the area would scale this very area home after they house was put together within.
Soon would he approach upon by one of this family's members coming back from their feeding. Carrying his slumbering nephew within his arms so close to his chest the child could hear to his heartbeat. Not caring about stopping where the forest began since squeals of bats greeted him. Made him feel a bit safer in their presence since there were his parents' loyal pets. He just kept walking through the foil gently carrying the child to his arms as more squeals were heard.
"Seems more then usual." He noticed the higher number.
Not like he was in the mood to stop in his tracks and start counting the extra numbers hanging over his head. The sight of a few people he knew since he first called them his siblings came into his view. First pair was the eldest couple and made up of older daughter of family and her husband. Only thing that told them apart was their height since older daughter was shorter then her tall husband. Both were brunets of different a shade and even style since older daughter wore her long and straight leaving her husband to have short. As their taste in clothing and accessories alone was opposite of each other. Since the older daughter wore Goth inspired pieces as her husband wore punkish or outdoory things. Who went by the names Elizabeth Maxine Rozen Suuku and Thorne.
As second was a brother in law with dark to him. From his tightly bond hair of raven black coloring placed in ponytail tied down by leather straps. To his leather clothing and calf length boots that were all covered in buckles or zippers. Went by the single name Derek or nickname Fang.
"Your lucky you weren't here when SHE showed up." Elizabeth spoke rudely of the guest within their house.
Thorne had to elbow by Derek in the stomach quite harshly to not agree with his wife when it came to their unwanted visitor. Leaving the guy to stand there and watch from AFAR in silence in company of his family. That he was still getting use to even becoming apart of the family a few centuries ago. Since Thorne was always muscling him around if he was going to do something...period.
"So...how is Vanessa doing?" Elizabeth ended up changing the subject.
"Other then providing you greedy gut with plenty of blood ruined up by illness." Thorne spoke in teasing tone.
His made Evan roll his eyes at the thought of why his eldest sister even hooked up with lamebrain like Thorne. When he ended up handing the child in his arms over to Derek knowing he was more comfortable with him. Leaving him to finally give his arms a good stretch before answering Thorne.
"Show a backbone and visit her some time whenever Elizabeth lets you off your leash." Evan looked around the trees.
What he eyes laid on was a pretty tall one that wasn't fully filled with bats like the others his eyes passed. That he ended up climbing by leaping on to the highest limb with greatest of ease. Keeping him from Thorne's hands when the guy couldn't handle the come back spoken to him. The only thing that kept Thorne from chasing him was a simple threat from Elizabeth's lips. Not like Derek was going to help Thorne in any way since knew how to better spend his time. That meant like right now holding his sleepy son within his arms and watching him for rest of the night.
"I never knew you were one for adopting something that isn't your own?" Elizabeth just wanted to hold her nephew.
"Makes me want to have our own SOON." Thorne winked at her.
Got him snuffed and ignored by his wife who rather smothers the still newest addition to here family. Since she reached out with one of her long sleeved covered hands to trance the child's face outline. She made sure to not touch the child completely knowing she could possibly wake him. Just ghosting her fingers over skin that still felt like an iron silk that her prized dresses were made of.
"I don't care if his not mine." Derek slid his fingers through the child's bangs, "As long as i can raise them to he gentle in this world."
Put a smile on Elizabeth's face since the thought to finally having a child of her and Thorne's own had to happen. She had to give up her perfectly sit body she spent years shaping while allowing Thorne to court her. Along side not being able to wear her tailored clothing crafted to show off the body she (and Thorne) proudly adored.
"We're having a boy." She finally acknowledged Thorne.
"How about twins?" Thorne grinned.
Got him yet another cold fang from his dearest Elizabeth so she could further admire her nephew. Thorne ended up also joining the smother session over his nephew for change instead of 'punishing' Evan.
