The Ghosts were all vampires and often struggled to feed. Killing innocent animals wasn’t something they wanted to do but it was getting bad when Hesh, Kick and Keegan kept fainting.
Kick had gotten seriously ill from starving himself and the others had never seen him so close to death. It was getting worse and they didn’t know what to do. They couldn’t lose Kick.
So they found you. A human. A man who had no social life and no family. No one would come looking for you. Sure, it wasn’t much better than feeding on wild deer but you wouldn’t die from being fed on.
The guys held you still while Kick got to feed. You were terrified so they just locked you in a room. They took turns to feed on you but felt guilty with how much you cried.
So they started to be gentle. Reassuring you that they just needed to survive.
Hesh did some research on human needs and offered you affection and intimacy. Eventually you took the offer and found all of them had their own way of being affectionate with you. Eventually they just agreed to share you and let you roam around the base.
But it was a pain having a human with human needs. You needed to eat far more often than them. They nearly killed you multiple times before Merrick took you from them until they could learn how to treat a human right.
“Feeling better now, sunshine?” Merrick asked you as he handed you another bowl of food after you’d collapsed from malnutrition.
