A bite is all it takes [II VAMPIRE AU]

A first bite

Another day, another morning spent preparing for yet another mission from father. 4s sighed, adjusting the collar of his long jacket as he looked at his reflection. Something about it was always off to him, but he didn't exactly have the free time to ever really look into why he felt that way.

There were far more important things for him to focus on, like his new mission. He wasn't set to hunt, not specifically, but today, he was going on a scouting job. Reports of werewolves in the area, and a lot of local farmers worried about their livestock in one of the small towns nearby.

The werewolves in the area tended to avoid humans for the most part, but they were awfully territorial, and needed to eat somehow, which 4s understood, but it was still his job, and purpose to make sure they weren't causing problems. Stealing livestock to eat and upsetting the humans in the area was considered a big problem.

So his job today was to figure out where they all currently were-- knowing he'd have to be subtle and sneaky about it so he wouldn't be 'trespassing', and then he'd just probably have to give the farmers some tips to keep their animals safe.

It would be much easier if they only hunted the wild animals around, but of course nothing is as simple as it could be.

Shaking away his thoughts, he turned to leave, not minding his brothers, who were still getting ready and prepared for their own days ahead, just giving a passing; "good luck" to Four as he left the room, closing the door gently behind him with a sigh.

The walk down the hallway was quiet, and long, but he didn't mind that. He liked the safety of the large manor. The many many walls, and twists and turns, and rooms. All grand in their own way, a certain vibe he didn't mind too much at all. Homely, really, though it was such a big place for only four people. That didn't matter too much to him though, honestly. A lot less clutter, and people to deal with was probably for the better. Especially with their jobs. 4s knew he couldn't afford to be distracted by things, like connections, and other people. The only ones he'd allow himself to be 'close' with is his siblings. Most of it had started out of necessity because of course he needed to be able to work with and tolerate the people he was stuck with. But the other parts of it was just... It was nice having people around during down time. He didn't know how lonely it would be if it was just him.

He was getting off topic again, shaking off his thoughts again as he found himself in front of the door to the supply room. He wasn't set to do any hunting, but he still wanted to be prepared, and able to defend himself if needed. Taking a bag, and one of his guns, and some silver bullets, he was ready to go.

4s had a long day ahead of him.

MePhone4 had a long day ahead of him. His first mission! A solo one at that-- and even if it was just some cosplayer, or some lame guy trying to cause fear on purpose, at least he'd be doing something to dissuade the fears of the townfolk nearby. A good, noble job for sure. And even if it didn't end up too exciting, at least it was something. Much better than the weekly supply runs he was stuck with. Better than not having much to do around the manor and surrounding woods while his brothers were off doing the actually important things. Now he was doing the important things! And... If he did this right, this would surely open the door for more, better things. His father might finally see his worth past his fumbling during training.

MePhone shook that thought off for now, not really wanting to think about it. The man only wanted the best for him, surely. He'd make the man-- and hopefully his brothers, or at the very least, 4s proud with this.

Taking a few wooden stakes and a cross from the supply room, he made his way out, knowing well enough where to go by now, right back to the town he had come from yesterday. He hoped they'd be a little more friendly to him today since he was actually doing good, just humming to himself as he trekked through the woods.
