<the wolf and the bat> (Completed.)

Hungry.

⚠️lots of angst.
Like, a lot.
Also some gore ⚠️

Eddie looked at Robin and Dustin, away from Steve. Robin and Dustin scrambled back, startled by the horrifying stare eddie fixed on them.

"Eddie! This isn't you! Snap out of it!" Robin screamed at Eddie, but he didn't stop. "Yeah man! Snap out of it! If this is some sick prank I can assure you it is NOT funny!" Dustin knew well this was no prank though.

No way in hell was that stare a prank.

It was 100% real.

Steve pushed forward, knocking eddie off, the vampire let out a screech as Steve jumped away from him, blood dripping down his cheek where eddie had slashed his long claw-like nails across his face. Eddie began hissing, staring at steve.

Robin and Dustin backed away, slowly. Steve did the same. Eddie began to creep closer.

Steve ran at eddie, pushing the vampire towards the hallway. Eddie hissed in anger, clawing pointlessly at the air, swiping at steve. Steve barely dodged these attacks, dodging his head to the side.

Steve threw eddie into a random room, and slammed the door. He let out a long breath, and Robin and Dustin peeked around around the hallway, looking at steve, who was leaning against the door, which eddie was pounding on.

"Woah." Robin breathed the words, Dustin and Steve didn't hear them.

Behind the door, eddie was screeching, pounding on the door.

"How the fuck are we gonna calm him down?!"

Steve looked at Robin. "I dunno rob... any ideas you wanna share with the class?" Robin glanced at Dustin. "Don't look at me! I dunno either!"

"Why did he even do that anyways?"

"Come to think of it, he hasn't had much vampire food for a while." A lightbulb went off in Robin's head. "That's it! He needs blood, maybe meat?" Steve grumbled. "I don't HAVE any!"

"Maybe Robin could grab something from the store really quick?" Dustin asked. "Uhhhh... sure?"

Steve sighed. "Alright, fine. Grab a steak or something." Robin rushed out of the door, leaping into her car. Dustin plopped down on the couch.

"She'd better get back soon."

Eddie had stopped pounding on the door, Steve assumed he wore himself out. Robin burst into the door. "I've got a big juicy steak for a hungry vampire!"

"Now is not the time for jokes, buckley!"

Robin handed the grocery bag to dustin, and he began to tear open the packaging. "Here you go steve!" Steve grabbed the slab of meat, and opened the door a crack.

He tossed the steak in, and slammed the door shut.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Steve opened the door to check on eddie. he saw the vampire sleeping, and tapped the door. Eddie snapped awake, the spine-chilling look in his eyes, gone. Eddie looked at steve, and stepped forward, careful not to frighten steve.

"I'm sorry."
