A pale-doughed hand knocked at a door before them that slowly picked up its pace every few seconds. And after a few more knocks, the sound of quick footsteps followed by the sudden— and rather rough, collision of glass bottles was heard behind the door.

The cookie inside the home cursed out a name before finally making it towards the door where multiple clicking sounds were heard. The door creaked as it opened ever so slightly only to reveal an eye behind a glass frame. they glanced at the cookie before them, and As the door fully opened, it revealed an irritated Alchemist Cookie.

She fixed her glasses before properly responding "yes, what is it?"

Strawberry Crepe Cookie stood on the cookies porch while Strawberry Cookie anxiously stood right behind them, almost as if she was hiding.

"Is your brother here?" They asked in annoyance.

"No... He hasn't been here since yesterday, Why?" She turned sour.

"AUGH!" They shouted "we've been looking for him everywhere And he's not even at his own house?!"

"Is he not at the Juice Bar, still?" She rolled her eyes.

"T-that's the first place we looked..." Strawberry Cookie spoke, her appearance alarmed Alchemist Cookie which prompted her to squint at her direction.

"You don't seem too good, Strawberry Cookie" she examined.

"Uh yeah duh— your brother bit her last night and now she's got vampiric tendencies!"

"What!?" Her posture tensed. She looked behind the cookies before moving out of the way "come inside, let me take a look"

Her house was what you would call an organized mess, her alchemy equipment was in the corner of what's meant to be the living room and the area had only a few biohazards that Strawberry Crepe Cookie could pick up just by a single glance.

The windows were covered by thick curtains, the only light was a few small lamps and candles. Despite the mess, she seems to know what she is doing. It was a controlled environment, apart from the clutter of various containers and baskets full of glass bottles on the floor, likely from her brother.

"Are you sure my brother did this?" She was skeptical.

"Who else could've done this!? He's the only Vampire in this town!" Strawberry Crepe Cookie snapped at her.

"He's not the only one, we're both Vampires" she corrected.

"...Seriously?"

"Yeah, I just don't make it my personality" she scoffed before approaching Strawberry Cookie, pulling her closer to her level, seemingly to examine her eyes and the paleness of her face, "but I assume you have a bite mark to prove it. Mind if I investigate it?"

she hesitated but did as requested and pulled down the corner her good to reveal the bite.

Alchemist cookie fixed her frames by pinching the handles in place to get a better look at the damage. Much to her disappointment she can confirm it to be what she's been told, sighing before finally letting her go "...tell me what happened then"

Strawberry Cookie quickly fixed her hoodie and began to fiddle with her drawstrings as she explained "it was last night... I took a walk around town late at night and I found him in the streets.... He told me he was hungry... then he... bit me..." her shoulders tense as she told the story

"That's... very unusual of him..." she curved a finger on her lip "did he say anything out of the ordinary?"

"Well... he did say that no one's going to care if I went missing— or something along those lines"
