A loud snore erupted from the boy, sounding as if it had come from a dragon rather than a fifteen year old! James was having a pretty good dream; he were in a room filled with the best pastries by the baker in the village square. He'd eat them all, enjoying the sweet taste, licking his fingers until they were clean of sugar. However, just as he were sinking his teeth into another creamy pastry, it began to bleed. Yes, bleed crimson droplets all over his shirt, cascading down his body. The boy would gasp, throwing the pastry, and running out of the baker's shop.

"Mm...stupid..pastries..." James mumbled in his sleep, feeling his form being shaken awake. Suddenly, his body jolted awake.

"Damn you baker!--Huh...Oh. Hey Master Bennett!" The fifteen year old yawned, still a bit groggy. "Can I have like ten more minutes..."

Wait. Big hunt. Uh oh.

James' eyes widened suddenly as he lay back into his coffin. "Um, M-Master Bennett? I think I don't feel too good..." He added quickly.

**KingCrowley** · December 23rd, 2012, 04:27 PM

Bennett rose an eyebrow at James' little slumber mumble, wondering what he could be dreaming about. He smiled when he opened his eyes. "Good night my young apprentice." he greeted, his fangs gleaming in the candle light of the room.

He frowned then and felt James' forehead, it didn't really feel warm. "Ah I see, you probably just feel nervous." he smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be proud of you even if you fail, besides every contestant drinks from the goblet and so you'll still get your first taste of blood."

"Come on then, up and out into the beautiful moonlight, it's a good night for a hunt after all."

**YaoiXMandy** · December 23rd, 2012, 04:55 PM

James managed a weak smile, a tad reassured by his master's words. However, disappointing him wasn't the only thing making him anxious. He knew Bennett would be proud of him no matter what, it was just the prospect of drinking blood that made him nervous! It sounded terrible, taking the life of a creature and draining it of its blood. It made James feel like a killer, or like he were losing all sense of humanity. What if he became drunk off of the blood? Addicted? What if he hurt, goodness forbid, a human?

The thought made James feel weak in the knees. It was all so frightening to the fledgling!

"Um, I think my stomach is a bit sick sir. I don't think I should go tonight...maybe next year!" James smiled sheepishly as he sunk back into his coffin. He had a feeling none of these attempts at playing sick were working, but he'd try anyway.

**KingCrowley** · December 23rd, 2012, 05:00 PM

"It will be butterflies from nervousness ." Bennett answered with a reassuring tone as he drew back the curtains to let the moonlight into the room. "Come along, everything will be just fine." he told him, hoisting him up and out of the coffin by the back of his shirt.

"Now, brush your fangs and change into something more formal." he instructed, going around James' room and tidying around a little bit.

"Come on, chop chop." he clapped his hands together to emphasize.

"Or maybe I'm just sick with the flu! I hear something is going around and it can be deadly!" James was every bit of a drama queen, though it wasn't something that sprang up when he were turned. He was always that dramatic in his former life. He watched as his master drew back the curtains, causing the luminescent shine of the moon to make him wince. With a sigh, he had little time to protest as he were lifted out of his coffin.

Once on his feet, James' face contorted into a pout. "Formal?" Ugh, he hated dressing in formal clothing! Back in the orphanage, the nuns would have them dress nicely when they were dragged to Church. Which was pretty often. He'd do everything in his power to mess up his clothes, just to irritate them.

"Why can't I just wear this? It's just a hunt.." This, what James was referring to, was his normal messy appearance. His baggy tan shirt that he seemed to absolutely love, which was a bit worn and cut at the seams. His loose fitting trousers that were losing its color from being worn so often, and his scraped shoes. With his messy hair looking unkempt as it usually was, it seemed to complete his lazy appearance.

**KingCrowley** · December 23rd, 2012, 05:15 PM

Bennett took this time to look at James now, and he was so very appalled by the young man's appearance. Bennett had been his age in the late 18 hundreds and a good appearance was needed to show your wealth and lifestyle. He shook his head and walked closer to his apprentice.

"I'll not be seen with you wearing that." he told him stern, with that he stripped the boy down and pushed him into the shower. While he was showering Bennett went off to find some more suitable clothes.

He found a nice set of Victorian style clothes that used to belong to his brother, they were quite modern looking and very detailed too. "Hurry up showering!" he called.

**YaoiXMandy** · December 23rd, 2012, 05:21 PM

"Then I guess I can't hunt tonight!" James smirked a little, though his little moment was short lived as he were stripped of his clothing. He hated when his master did that, he always felt so childish! Blushing slightly he were pushed into the shower before he could even voice his embarrassment. Sulking, James began to weigh his options as he turned the shower on, allowing the slightly warm water to soak his body.

So playing sick was clearly not working!

Stalling? But how long could he possibly stall that he'd somehow miss the hunt in the first place? James idly wondered this, wondering if it would be worth it. He were terrified of drinking blood after all...

"Hurry up showering!"

His master's words broke him out of his thoughts, and a slight half-assed idea came to James' mind. Peaking his head out the shower, James made a face. "Master, you can't rush perfection! I'll be done soon, just be patient!"

With that, James began to wash himself as slow as he could muster. Normally the fifteen year old didn't take long when it came to showering, but this time he opted for taking as much time as possible. He even soaked his hair within the water, shaking it as if a wet dog, only to repeat his long washing process again.

**KingCrowley** · December 23rd, 2012, 05:27 PM

Bennett smiled down at the pile of clothing now laid over James' coffin and felt a flow of pride run through him, he had the look of a proud father. When he heard James' response he shook his head and sighed, looking down at his pocket watch.

Already, it was quarter past eleven. They only had 45 minutes left to get ready and be at the hunt. Deciding firmly that James had spent more than long enough in the shower, he walked into the bathroom and changed the temperature to freezing cold.

"Out. Now." he instructed firmly, "Your clothes are on your coffin."

**KingCrowley** · December 23rd, 2012, 06:07 PM

Bennett had the look of a proud father, he was very proud to know that James might be consuming his first kill tonight, finally he would be an official Vampire.

After deciding that James had been in the shower long enough he walked in and changed the temperature to a freezing cold level. "Out. Now." he said firmly. "Your clothes are on top of your coffin."

James was actually sure this might work! Until, his master turned the water from comfortably warm to unbearably cold! "Gah! Cold, cold, cold!" The fifteen year old didn't have to be told twice, he clambered out of the shower to avoid the freezing temperature. Wrapping a towel around his small waist, James gave Bennett an accusatory glare. "You could've just asked nicely!" He snapped, glancing at the clock.

Damn. He almost could've stalled long enough too!

James trudged towards his coffin, already dreading more than one thing. First off, he had to drink blood. Second off, he would be wasting his night doing this hunt when he could be dancing in the village square! And third...

These clothes.

"Ugh, Master Bennett, am I going on a hunt or am I going to church?" The clothes were nice, and he knew his master loved nothing more but the most prim and proper. But James was quite rugged, every bit of a boy when it came to getting things dirty or wearing nothing but comfy clothing. The boy stood idly, trying to think of another way other than getting dressed as slow as he could muster.

"Wait, before I get dressed! I didn't brush my fangs yet!" Ah, perfect. James quickly sauntered by the elder vampire, heading into the bathroom to clean his fangs properly.
