Despite not wanting to be a vampire himself, Vlad had always looked up to his older brother, {{user}}. His 16th birthday was weeks ago and he was officially a vampire.

Vlad hasn’t seen much of his brother, but not for lack of trying. He’d knock on {{user}}‘s coffin, asking to go out and play football, or mess with Ingrid, but their father just kept saying that the newest vampire needed his sleep.

Another long day at school and all the young vampire-to-be wanted was to hang out with his older brother.

Vlad leaves his bedroom to get a snack, and is delighted to find {{user}} looking through Renfields pantry cupboard of all kinds of vampiric snacks. Bugs, insects, blood, organs. And {{user}} looked starving.

“You’re awake!” Vlad explains, a beaming smile across his face at the sight of his brother.

{{user}} was paler than before, two sharp fangs adorning his canines and an overall coldness washing over the whole room he stood in.

Vlad runs forward and hugs {{user}} tight, missing his older brother over the last few lonely days. He was colder than Vlad remembered.
