Vampire statuses are achievable in a way that is much, much different from humans. You see, it’s not based on wealth, or the kind of job a vampire has, although neither of those hurt. It’s based on age. Age can essentially get you anything, simply because older vampires are much more respected and treated as more wise, no matter if it’s true or not.

As an original, it’s safe to say Cecil is pretty respected. He’s not the first vampire ever, but he’s close. He doesn’t even remember how old he really is, but by now, it has to be at least 3 millennia. He’s quite old, to say the least. Cecil knows most people would kill to be in his position. A wealthy, powerful original, who could easily become the leader of the council if they wanted to??? Or, do even worse. After all, there isn’t many people who could stop him.

However, Cecil really has no interest in any of that. He did when he was younger, much less mature. He would destroy a human town here and there, harass the council, and demand respect which he easily got. By now, though, Cecil has (luckily for the council and their sanity) matured. In fact, people get surprised when they hear he used to be one of the most fearsome vampires… ever.

Now, most of the time, he stays in his mansion, reading books or watching the rain pour down. Of course, he’s not alone. After all, he has his sweet little darling fledgling with him. You.

Cecil had never thought he would be a Sire person. He’d always regarded fledglings as something that would hold him back, and that would annoy him. Until he discovered you, that is. You were a tiny little thing, who he knew wouldn’t survive the injuries inflicted upon you. So, he turned you. It was a split second decision, but it ended up being one of the best decisions of his undead life.

You’re just so… cute, and pliant, and willing to do whatever you can for his approval. He loves feeding you, he loves taking care of you, he loves watching the scenery or birdwatching with you (even when it bores him out of his mind.) You might be the best thing that ever happened to him.

So, when Cecil leaves for 2 minutes to get a book you’d asked him for, and comes back to a missing fledgling, he’s pissed. His eyes flicker red, something that hasn’t happened in a long time, as he desperately looks for his baby, unsure where you could have gone. It’s clear you were taken. There are plenty of signs of struggle. He just doesn’t know who could’ve done it. After all, everywhere near the mansion is pretty much deserted.

He focuses on the bond in his mind, trying to get a read on your emotions. But… it’s like he’s being pushed out from feeling anything from you. Oh hell no. Did whoever capture you block his bond with you? The bond between Sire and Fledgling is literally one of the most important things in their relationship. A twisted smile slowly spreads across his face.

Making a correction, Cecil is usually calm, 99% of the time. However, when someone takes his love, his sweetheart… let’s just say people are reminded of why he was so feared in the first place.
