Pretty. Odd.

40's.

William laid across the motels couch, staring up at the ceiling while he waited for his brother and father to get back. They were off on another hunt, had been for three days and William expected them back today and so he was packed up and ready to go should his father decide they needed to leave town.

There was a knock at the door and William got up, grabbing the handle of the gun in his holster and heading over to the door, opening it and raising an eyebrow when he saw a young woman. Probably a little younger than him maybe in her early twenties, shivering from the rain outside and clutching her arms tightly as she looked up at him.

"Sorry to bother you sir" She said with chattering teeth, "but I got caught outside in the rain, m'cars broken down and I'm afraid I don't have no money for the phone"

"No where's open at this hour anyways" William said gruffly and the woman nodded,

"I figured that sir, can-can I stay here while the rain passes?"

William frowned, his father always insisted that Malo and him help the general public but if David came home to a random woman in their room he'd throw a shit fit because he was a huge hypocrite.

Still, William was all for spiting his father.

"Sure, come in" He said and stepped aside to allow the woman in, William went and got a towel, wrapping it around the woman's shoulders. She smiled at him,

"You're awfully kind sir"

"My names William" He said and the woman's smile widened,

"My names Lucille" She said, "Friends call me Lu"

"Nice to meet you Lucille" William said, "The showers in that room case you wanna warm up".

Lucille looked over at the bathroom then at her soaking wet dress, frowning, William was quick to answer,

"I can find you some clothes"

"Again, you're awfully kind" Lucille said and she walked into the bathroom, closing the door and William got some clothes from his bag, placing them out front of the bathroom door and he sat back on the couch, closing his eyes, waiting for Lucille to get out of the shower.

He must have drifted off because when he opened his eyes again, Lucille was beside him on the couch, running her fingers through her blonde hair like a comb. The cheap radio on the side table was crackling and playing a soft song. William thought it was by the ink spots. A fairly new song called 'I don't want to set the world on fire'.

William grunted and sat up more, Lucille looking over and put a hand over her chest,

"Oh dear, I didn't wake you up did I?"

"No no you're alright" William said and Lucille smiled at him happily,

"Good..." She said just as lightning clapped outside and a roll of thunder followed shortly after, making Lucille jump and bury her face into William's side.

"Hey it's okay" He tried to soothe, the woman just looking up at Dobium with big, scared green eyes,

"Lightning just frightens me..." She said with a whimper, "surely you're afraid of something too"

William frowned then nodded, "Losing my brother"

"Not death?" Lucille asked, sitting up more and practically sitting in Williams lap, "You don't fear death?"

"Not really" William said, keeping his eyes very much on Lucille's face who just smiled widely, showing off two fangs.

"Good" She said sweetly and dug her fangs into Williams neck before he could have even reacted, his mouth falling open and he tried to claw her off of him.

William felt himself grow weaker and weaker as more blood was taken from him, Lucille standing up and tossing William to the ground, tearing open her wrist and forcing her blood down William's throat.

William's body immediately felt like it was on fire. The second the blood touched his tongue his whole body felt like it was on fire, burning up and William groaned in pain as he writhed on the ground.

He could faintly hear a car honk outside and William looked to the door, Lucille smiling,

"More snacks it seems" She cooed and William felt adrenaline take over the venom and he stood up, Lucille looking up and hissing at him, baring her fangs and William bared his teeth back at her. Lucille backing away a little when she saw the size of Williams fangs.

The man grabbed a stake from his bag and lunged towards her, Lucille stepping out of the way and allowing William to clumsily stumble forwards.

Lucille laughed and then it was cut off abruptly, her mouth hanging open and William felt a self satisfied smile cross over his face as he stared at the stake poking through her chest.

She collapsed to the ground and so did William, staring at the two figures standing just behind Lucille's body. One short and chubbier with a stupid trucker hat that William had bought for him and the other taller and bulkier, staring at William with a disgusted look.

"He's been infected" David, William and Malo's father, said, "We have to kill him"

"No!" Malo yelled and William could hardly hear him, their voices sounded far away, his vision was beginning to tunnel, "No, Sir, please-"

"he's infected by a vampire Malo!" David snapped, "he's dangerous!"

"He's my brother!"

William saw David raise his hand to Malo and before any of them could have blinked, William was up on his feet, hand around Davids throat while blood red eyes stared at his father, Malo shrinking away from the thing that had been his brother while William dug his fangs into Davids neck. Blood running down his chin and staining his shirt.

Eventually, Davids body fell to the floor, Malo staring at William who licked the blood off of his lips and reached out to his brother who hardly flinched as William brushed his hair out of his eyes,

"Okay?" William asked hoarsly and Malo nodded shakily, tears in his eyes as he stared at the red eyes of his brother,

"...Turn me" Malo demanded, tears rolling down his face and William looked shocked,

"Malo-"

"That's not up for debate William!" Malo yelled shakily and William slowly nodded, pressing his fangs against Malo's neck and sinking them in as gently as he could, gulping down Malo's blood before feeding the younger his own blood.

He laid Malo on the bed gently, watching the short blond writhe and sob as his body died and he changed. William starting to think of where they could hunt.

After all, Malo would be hungry when he woke up.
