001. Some people’s fates were covered in blood. His Mother left the hospital he was born in a widow.
002.Alcide didn’t really remember his Mother. He remembered a house that had smelled of lavender and grapes. He remembered a general feeling of someone looking out for him. A general feeling that everything was and would always be ok.
003. But Alcide had found that feeling wasn’t something that could be relied on. Blood was. Blood was the one thing he could rely on as a constant. He was four when he had opened the door of his childhood home to find it bathed in her blood. He would never see her or that home again but the image of her running off of him the police stations forensic shower was a place he often visited in his nightmares.
003. A year later he would find out the reason no adoptive family wanted him was also in his blood. A scrapped knee on the playground revealed that Alcide had a bleeding disorder. That even his blood wanted to leave him. That didn’t stop the skin from opening.
004. He was 6 when an old lady showed up at the orphanage with a young girl. When he was gifted with the name witch. Another property of what ran through his veins. A friend of his mother’s she said. Picked him off just as easily as she was able to drop him off again.
005. The girl though. The girl had looked at him with the same untetheredness he saw when he looked in the mirror. “I do it to” she said extending scabby fingers on one of her visits “what do you seen when you let yourself bleed.”
006. The foster system was…. The system was home. A second constant had joined the blood though, a stream of birds and bugs that came carrying messages of a girl who called herself Wendell. The Old Lady would check him to, moving him the same way Thera said she moved her. “For your safety” the lady would say, but you could never hide from the blood.
007. College was fun. He found a place he called his own. Expanded from one box to two. Two to Three.
008. But he would not escape the blood. The man from the alley had had his way and left him for dead. He wouldn’t know till later how he had been held down by just teeth. Wouldn’t know till later it was the same reason he would be able to stand up again.
009. Thera had been there the next day. She had helped him put himself back together. The magic had been gone after that night but she had stayed to help him through the monthly transitions that came with one of the many ways that night had changed him. He deserved to have teeth now. Just not how he had gotten them.
010. He should have known Fate would bring him med school. That if his life had prepared him for anything it was more blood. Hematology had become the obvious specialization, as well as the place it had earned him in the supernatural circles Thera had found a home in.
011. Lucas had also come to him covered in blood. He had met his husband while doing rounds in the ER. Some might say they had gotten married too quickly, but Alcide had finally found a pack of his own.
012. Alcide had never had a pack which was maybe why it was so easy to fall into Lucas’s pack of two, so easy to take it for granted until it was too late.
013. Divorce was hard. But he had his work, he had blood.
014. A drunken night saw Lucas back in his bed, a ring back on his finger. There was a part of Alcide’s soul that would always belong to that wolf. But the second divorce that followed months later would remind him that he and Lucas were only ever meant to be friends. Not a couple.
015. Work was good. Thera was good though watching her finally decide she could be stationary was… confusing. He should be more surprised when the bird arrived in early July. He should be surprised when it brings him to a town that means nothing to him besides it being where his friend has chosen to put down roots, but he isn’t. If the two people he cares for most have found something in a town that had arguably seen blood as much of a constant as Alcide has…..maybe Alcide can find a place too.
Wanted Connections
Witch Background- Still not settled what kind of witch he was before the transition, I’ve been leaning Phial but if there is a WC or opening in a witchy backstory, Alcide could maybe be part of that.
Someone from the System- Someone he knew, and maybe had a close connection to, someone he had been willing to spill blood for. Being rudderless can foster ties quickly.
Blood Customers- Alcide has been studying blood and also supplying it since med school. He is interested in a cure though not necessarily for himself but he also has the very Wendellian mindset of favours for survival. Have you asked him to look into something underhanded and blood related? Or have you just been thirsty and needed to make a visit to your local traveling blood doctor for substance on tap?
Quick Lovers- Alcide can be clinical in his stance towards one night stands. Long term relationships were something he and Lucas did, and long term has almost never worked out well for Alcide. But maybe one day it will……
More to come…. I like usual am open to anything.
