Taking orphaned street urchins under his and Dutch's wing was something the duo hadn't done in a while. Of course, Arthur was the first kid they practically adopted, and then John.

But when Hosea witnessed a young child on their own in Rhodes, his aged heart couldn't help but soften. It was no way for someone so young to live, so, naturally, he took them back to camp.

It wasn't long before he began noticing abnormalities within the child, though. The first one was that their canines were noticably longer than usual, and then the fact that they had to be invited into places to enter. The most concerning of all was that they couldn't eat anything. They could only survive on a diet of blood.

Naturally, he came to the conclusion that he wasn't dealing with any normal kid. No, this wasn't a kid at all.

He had a vampire on his hands.
