what would have happened if Kane had found Jim that night? letâs fine out.
-
A vampire emerged from the foliage. Jimâs heart practically stopped in his chest.
It was Kane.
âNo.â he whispered, dread consuming him. Heâd been so close! He was out!
âOh, fucking yes.â Kane snapped, marching straight toward him.
Jim held his makeshift stake out defensively, pointing it at Kane. âBack off, or Iâll, Iâll-â
Before he could even blink, Kane moved lightning-fast, grabbing the stick right out of his hands and tossing it away. âYouâll what, you little shit?â His bright-red eyes shone with anger.
âMaster,â Jim squeaked, his eyes welling with tears. âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry, please.â

an AU inspired by this ask and ESPECIALLYÂ these wonderfully whumpy asks!! in this AU, Jim learns Kane is being held captive by the hunters after Kane has only been there for a few weeks instead of five years. Kane is starving, tortured, scared, but not broken. have a series of little drabbles from this timeline.

This was the absolute rock bottom of Kane de Sangâs life.
With the hunter gone, he was alone with his human. Cuffed and muzzled, burnt and cut and bruised all over, half-naked, starving to the point of powerlessness. He was completely at the mercy of his own human. And the worst part was, he was terrified.
You are so, so welcome. I just absolutely had to share this resource with my fellow whump lovers, even though I rarely post things in here anymore.
If anyone wants ideas for search phrases, here are some that I've had fun with so far. Please feel very free to share/reblog with more phrases, I would personally love to get more inspiration!
Ooh thereâs also a preview of the transcript beneath each video
By the way.. descriptive closed captioning counts too.. So you could type things like choking, whimpering, struggling, groaning, breathing shakily, etc..
To my international media friends, no this does not work for us. I have put some quotes in in Korean and nothing comes up. I promise I'm putting it in correctly as it is my second language but yeah it works pretty well for English language media!

With no warning, all of a sudden, he was somewhere else.
The room was not a room in Whumperâs house, at least, not as far as he could tell. Whumpee whipped his head around franticallyâit appeared to be a normal living roomâtucking his legs in on the armchair he was sitting on as soon as he saw that he was not alone. A man who appeared to be in his late sixties sat on the couch adjacent to him.
âHey,â the person on the couch said gently. He scooted closer, but did not touch. âYouâre safe. I promise. I know you canât remember, I know itâs scary and confusing, but youâre safe. Youâre not there anymore.â
âWho are you? Where am I?â Whumpee asked, shrinking back. âPlease.â
âIâm your friend, Caretaker. Youâre in our apartment, out in the world. You havenât been with Whumper in many years. You just lose your memory sometimes is all. Just breathe and itâll be over soon. Do you want to hold my hand?â Caretaker held one out. âSometimes you want to.â
Whumpee hesitated, then took it, his own shaking. There was no possible way what this man said could be true, but at least he seemed like a kind old man, and that was something he hadnât experienced in a very long time. âDonât make me go back,â he begged.
âI wonât. Youâre not going back,â Caretaker assured him, patient, a thumb stroking over his hand. âWhumper is dead and you are safe.â He glanced down at the coffee table. âYour tea is going to get cold if you donât drink it.â
âMy tea? Thatâs mine?â Whumpee took the mug with his free hand. âIâm allowed?â
âYouâre allowed to do anything you want,â Caretaker agreed, âSo long as you donât hurt yourself. Thatâs the only time Iâll try to stop you. But you truly are safe.â
Whumpee took a sip. It tasted nice, with just the right amount of honey, like it really was something heâd picked out himself. âCanâcan you tell me what happened?â
âOf course. Whatâs the last year you remember?â he asked. âIâll catch you up.â
Whumpee squeezed his eyes closed. â1991.â
âItâs 2025 now. I know that might seem like a big jump, but donât worry, your memories will come back slowly over the next few hours,â Caretaker assured him gently. âBack then, you suffered a lot of trauma and a little brain damage. In 1993, you stole a gun from him and shot him dead. Donât worry, no one blamed you. Everyone thinks youâre pretty badass, actually.â He gave a lighthearted chuckle at that.
â2025?â Whumpeeâs head spun. He looked down at his hand in Caretakerâsâit was just as wrinkled as the older manâs.
Not only that, but they wore matching wedding bands. Hah. Some âfriendâ.
âIâmâŠâ He struggled to do the math in his head, but his mind was so foggy he couldnât manage it.
â62,â Caretaker filled in. âIâm 67. Only got five years on you, kid. You donât have to worry about that now. I know you feel 28. Must be nice!â
âIt isnât,â Whumpee whispered.
âI know. I know, sweetheart,â he said softly. âYouâve got something called transient global amnesia. Itâs never nice. But itâll be over soon, thatâs what the âtransientâ part means, and Iâll be here with you the whole time. Youâre out forever. No oneâs gonna hurt you. Just breathe.â
He did. Somehow, it made him feel a little bit better.

It was surreal that it barely hurtânot more than it had before the crash, at least. When Whumpee thought of a plane crash, not that theyâd ever much pictured the possibility until now, theyâd imagined some sort of fiery explosion as soon as it hit the ground, decimating everything inside.
But by some miracle, huddled in their cage, they were fine. The cage had taken the damage for them, leaving them with just some more bruises than usual, and as they pushed experimentally on its mangled door, it fell right off the hinges.
They crawled out from the wreckage, quiet as a mouse, as if Whumper would catch them trying to escape again and punish them. Really, they knew even Whumper had more important things to worry about at this point.
Whumpee made their way up from the back of the plane where their cage had been fastened, scanning the wreckage for anything useful as they did. It was a small, private plane, the body of it comparable to a small lounge, and there wasnât much to search.
They tore most of a fleece blanket out from where it was pinned and wrapped it around themself, the biting cold already seeping in as the metal yawned open, especially given the thin, sleeveless clothes Whumper dressed them in. They gathered all the food and drinks they could find in an empty wastebasket, scoring a couple steak knives as well.
No Whumper. No Whumperâs body. Not even a little bit of blood, or a stray finger, or a trace of him in the seat they knew heâd been sitting in. It was as if heâd just vanished.
They hadnât checked the cockpit.
Whumpee got up off the ground, swaying on their feet a bit in their attempt to balance on the uneven, tilted flooring, before making their way in.
It was immediately apparent that the front of the plane had taken the brunt of the damage.
The first thing they saw was the pilot, or what was left of him. His head had caved in against the controls, his brains splattered over everything in the cockpit.
Including Whumper, laid in the pilotâs lap.
Whumper looked over with wild, very-much-alive eyes, his hands gripped around the yoke as if he could somehow still steer the plane to safety.
His legs disappeared under the copilotâs side of the cockpit, undoubtedly crushed, blood trickling out from the mess of gnashed steel.
Terror was a look Whumpee had never seen on his face before.
âHelp,â he choked out.
âWhat happened? Where are we?â Whumpee demanded.
âPlane crashed,â he whimpered, voice laden with pain. âIt started to dip and we were hours late and something didnât feel right, so I checked in the cockpit and the pilot was coldâI think heâd been dead for a while, like a fucking, heart attack or stroke or something? And it was just on autopilot until it ran out of gas. I tried to steer the plane andâand here we are. I donât know where.â
He wasnât even chastising them for their disrespectful tone. He was trembling. It barely felt like Whumper without the pompous attitude, the air of power. Just a sad, pathetic man lost in the cold.
âAre my legs okay?â he asked.
âNope. Crushed,â Whumpee informed him.
Whumper sobbed. âWhat do we do?â
âI guess we just wait for the authorities to come get us andââ
All of a sudden, it hit them: this was it. The end. They were free. Once they were rescued, theyâd be able to go back home. No more Whumper, no more of catering to his sick whims, no more pain. They were out.
âAnd then youâll go to prison,â they finished chipperly. âEnjoy it while it lasts. This might be your very last taste of freedom.â
âF-fine. Fine, prison, sure. Justâget me away from this body.â Whumper shivered.
Whumpee crossed their arms. âBeg.â
For a moment, Whumper just stared at them, the wheels turning in his brain. Whumpee was beginning to think he wouldnât do it, when the words spilled from his mouth: âPlease help me. Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry for everything I did to you, Iâm so fucking sorry, just help me, please.â
It was amateurish, inarticulate. No way would Whumper have accepted that from them. But Whumpee would let it slide, because they werenât a pretentious asshole, and some allowance had to be made for the fact that heâd just had his legs crushed.
They examined the situation a little closer: Whumperâs legs were surely destroyed, but it wasnât a case where heâd just had them chopped off and the rest of him was two legs lighter. They were pinned, and moving him would be impossible. Heâd been effectively fused with the plane.
Whumpee took a deep breath, grit their teeth, and hefted up the pilotâs body, carrying it into the body and dropping it in one of the surviving seats before returning to Whumper, the back of his head now resting in the butt of the pilotâs seat.
âOkay, now me,â Whumper directed. And, as a hasty afterthought, âPlease.â
âI literally, physically cannot move you. Not unless I saw through your thighs with a steak knife, and Iâm pretty sure youâd just bleed out,â Whumpee pointed out. âI think your only chance at survival is to just wait for the professionals to come handle whatever youâve gotten yourself into.â
âO-okay.â Whumper was sniffling now, crying like a child, not that Whumpee could blame him. âIs there any way we can contact anyone to come get us?â
âI donât know anything about planes!â Whumpee snapped. âIâd never even been on a plane before you kidnapped me! This is your plane! That you own! Shouldnât you know the least thing about how it works? The emergency protocols? Anything?â
âThereâs, um, um,â Whumper stammered, wracking his brain, âThe radio, I tried it, nothing. Thereâs something called a black box, I think? Iâve heard of that. I donât know what it is or how it works. Something about plane crashes?â
âI canât believe this. Youâre an idiot. What about the destination? Whoâs waiting on you? Thereâs gotta be an airport or something expecting us, right?â Whumpee pressed.
The silence that followed was its own answer.
âSpeak!â Whumpee shouted.
âUm, w-well, well, withâyou know. I couldnât have anyone knowing aboutâŠâ Whumperâs voice quieted to a squeak, â...You. So this flight was kind of⊠secret?â
It was as if Whumpeeâs soul left their body. For ten seconds, thirty seconds, a full minute, they just stood there. Staring at Whumper, then out the cracked-open windshield into the endless white, snowy mountains.
âWhumpee?â
As soon as Whumper brought them back to reality, Whumpee was on him, straddling him and punching him right in the face over, and over, and over.
âYou fucking idiot! Youâve killed us! You killed me!â they screamed, wailing on him. âHow could you be so stupid!? How could you do this? Are you serious? No one is coming! Weâre dead!â
Whumper weakly put his hands up, to little effect, putting them back down after a couple punches, not resisting after that, as if he knew he deserved it. With a final smash of their fist into his cheekbone, Whumpee got up, brushing themself off and fixing the blanket back around them.
âIâve wanted to do that for so long,â they murmured. âNot even satisfying now.â
âM-maybe theyâll find us anyway,â Whumper whispered.
Whumpee huffed. âYeah. Sure. Everythingâs always worked out for you up until now, hasnât it, big guy? Weâll see.â
-
The rest of the day passed in near-silence from Whumpeeâs part, though Whumper continued to try and fail to start conversations. Whining first for companionship, which Whumpee wholly rebuffed, but then for water and a blanket, which they granted. At the very least, with all the snow, they didnât have to worry about that. He whined a lot about how much his legs hurt, which they let pass without commentary.
âIâm starving,â Whumper complained, watching Whumpee snack on some carefully measured-out fancy roasted nuts. âPlease bring me something to eat? Please?â
At least heâd learned his manners.
âYeah, thatâs the thing,â Whumpee replied. âOur supply of food is really, really limited, and I donât see anything edible around. No plants, no animals, no civilization. So what weâve got is what weâve got. And what weâve got is a single flightâs worth of meals and snacks, andâŠâ
They glanced over to the pilotâs corpse.
Whumper recoiled. âNo. Youâre insane.â
âIâm ready to survive. Not that youâd know anything about that. The way I see it, if I ration the food out, it still only lasts a couple of days for one person. Your pilot buddyâs got a lot of meat on him, and I packed him in snow to keep him from going bad too fast. Like a natural freezer. Weâre both gonna be dining on him by Saturday, but Iâm taking all the good food. Consider it payment for the last three years.â They popped another peanut in their mouth, then closed the jar. They really did intend to ration.
âThatâs ridiculous! Worse than ridiculous, itâs unthinkable! Iâm not a cannibal!â Whumper protested.
âYeah, just an abusive human trafficker, thatâs so much better,â Whumpee mocked. âEveryoneâs a cannibal when they run out of food. Honestly, youâre next up if no one rescues us by the time we run out of pilot. Itâs your fault weâre here. Deal with it. Call me when youâre really hungry.â
âYouâre insane. Youâre insane,â Whumper repeated under his breath as they left him.
-
The night was unbearable, even with the blanket. The thought of huddling for warmth with Whumper was so appalling it made their skin crawl, but as the hours stretched on and Whumpee realized that they may very well die if they didnât, they made their way back to the cockpit.
Whumper was far worse off, having deteriorated horribly in the hours. Bound to the freezing metal of the plane, his legs had turned pitch-black where they touched it, the rest of his thighs hidden by the blanket he kept desperately trying to keep around himself as wind blew over him. His fingers and the tips of his ears, though not nearly as bad as his legs, had turned a sickening purple.
He looked up wearily. âHelp.â
Whumper wasnât going to make it. That much was obvious.
It was strange. For years, Whumpee had wished for his death every single day. Even now, they wouldnât really be sad for Whumper if he died, not really.
But the thought of being out here totally alone? They thought they knew true terror, living under Whumperâs thumb, but this was another level. They might as well be stranded in the reaches of space, contact with their ship severed, alone in the empty blackness.
âAlright.â The words almost came from somewhere else, like Whumpee was watching from outside their body. âLetâs⊠huddle for warmth.â
Whumpee squeezed themself into the chair with him, piling their blanket on top of his so they had two layers. âHere. Bring your arms in. Weâll keep all the arms in the middle between us so our fingers donât fall off.â
âOkay,â Whumper wept. Even to Whumpeeâs own chilly hands, Whumperâs were freezing.
They curled into the fetal position and tucked the blanket around both of them as best they could, though the ends of Whumperâs thighs stuck out. âTry and get some rest,â they encouraged.
âOkay. Thankâthank you,â Whumper managed. âIâm sorry. I really am.â
Youâre not sorry. You would have hurt me forever if this didnât happen. If our places were swapped, you would never be this nice. You probably would have used hurting me as stress relief to make you feel better about the crash.
âSure. Get some rest,â Whumpee sighed.
-
When they woke up, Whumpee was cuddling a corpse.
Alone.
Wordlessly, they fished out one of the steak knives and got to work on sawing their future meals from the plane.
Genuinely just curious :0 I think I lean towards comforted oc and wholesome situations bc torturing a character is all fun and games until youâre going through some shitđ. At the same time I like putting characters in paralyzing fearful situations. Dunno whatâs up with that because fear is not a nice feeling.
