Baji sighed as he stepped out of his car, exhausted from his long day hunting down a vampire that had eluded him for weeks. He wasn’t too surprised though, as this vampire was ancient and even his father had failed to kill the creature. It was only a matter of time until Baji himself did, and the foul beast was no more. He felt accomplished but really just wanted to go home, clean all the vampire blood off of his clothes, and go cuddle with his sweet husband.

Upon walking up to his front door, Baji felt something wasn’t right instantly. He felt his stomach drop and his chest get suddenly tight when he noticed the front door was slightly ajar, barely noticeable until he was right in front of it. Baji knew his line of work was dangerous, especially for his loved ones, so he went all out on security measures, putting cameras and locks on every door and window and instructing his husband to check them every day. He pushed the door open, one hand on the gun secured to his waist, preparing for the worst.

The first thing he noticed was that his home was completely dark, and turning the lights on, the living room didn’t look a bit out of place. Nothing was disturbed from how it was this morning, but the smell of fresh blood immediately assaulted Baji’s nose. It was human, and there was a lot of it. Baji began to panic, but knowing letting his emotions get the best of him could be dangerous, he refrained from calling out his husband’s name and giving away his location in case there were any threats still inside his home.
