Vampire!Henry Studio AU featuring Henry the Vampire and Wally Franks (since no character was mentioned). This came out darker than I intended.
Henry never told anyone (not even Joey), but becoming a Vampire had made him very possessive of people who were important to him. Not to mention territorial.
That territorial-ness had resulted in him often prowling the streets at least once every night to look for anyone trying to cause trouble in his town. And on this night, it was a very good thing that he’d been up and about so late, otherwise, he would have never heard the scream.
Henry was running at a full sprint, down the street, to the alley he was sure the sound had come from. He had been a few blocks away when he’d first heard the blood-curdling scream, he instinctively knew he didn’t have much time. (Thank God being a vampire came with enhanced speed) He grabbed a lamppost to turn down the alley without losing speed.
He spotted a prone form laying in the shadows, only faintly lit by the full moon above them, and the tell-tale scent of copper hit his nose. Blood. But there was more, he recognized the scent of the person.
“Wally!” He gasped, darting forward and crouching by the sandy-haired male. His worry for his friend and coworker overriding any reaction he would have had to the scent of blood slowly filling the alley. “Wally, can you hear me?”
He slid an arm under Wally’s shoulders, lifting him so that he could clearly see his face. His eyes roved over the younger man’s form, he looked like he’d been attacked by some kind of animal. Wally’s clothes were torn, and there was blood dripping sluggishly from a large wound in his shoulder. A wound that looked suspiciously like an animal bite. A very big animal bite.
“H-Henry?” Wally rasped faintly, his head lolling weakly against his shoulder, green eyes struggling to focus on the vampire’s face. “Th-that you?”
“Yeah, it’s me. I’m gonna get you help, just hold on.” Henry murmured soothingly, carefully lifting Wally into his arms. The hospital was too far away for him to get the janitor there in time, but the Studio had a fully stocked infirmary… “Try to hold on for me, okay?”
Wally groaned weakly, letting out a wet cough.
“H-Hurts.”
“I know, just hold on.” He tucked Wally against him and started running to the studio, as quickly as he could without making the young man’s injuries worse. Upon arriving at the building, he only paused long enough to unlock the door then darted to the infirmary.
Henry promptly slid into his Military Medic mindset, fetching everything he needed to help the young man. He immediately started treating Wally’s various wounds, cleaning them with disinfectant, and wrapping them in thick gauze bandages. He murmured soothing words as he worked, keeping the janitor’s focus on him instead of on his injuries.
He gently knelt beside the sandy-haired male once he’d finished. Wally wasn’t in danger anymore, but his worry had been replaced with a different emotion. A burning anger in his chest that Henry was struggling to contain.
“Wally, Wally, listen to me.” He carefully caught the young man’s chin, looking him in the eye. “Who did this to you?”
“I-I was jumped in the alley. I nev'r saw him till he was on top o’ me.” Wally wheezed, shaking in the cot Henry had laid him in.
“Please, Wally, think carefully. Try to remember something about him. Anything.”
“H-he was big. Some kind of animal, or a man? Dark hair, an- an’ yellow eyes. W-wolf…” Wally’s voice faded, eyes slipping closed. The night was finally catching up to him, not that Henry was surprised. He let Wally drift off and slipped out of the room, quietly shutting the door behind him.
A wolf-man with dark hair and yellow eyes.
It wasn’t much, but it was something Henry could start with. There weren’t supposed to be any werewolves in the area. He’d have to consult Master Narkovian on whether there had been any alerts on stray wolves he had missed recently.
If there were, well, Henry would be putting his father’s old hunting rifle to use again.
I drew Henry from @rosebloodcat's Vampire!Henry AU (BATIM)! I think it turned well 😃
I know his ears aren't nearly as pointed and odd looking as I made them out to be, but I've been drawing them like that for a while and apparently I couldn't break the habit for one drawing
Originally for my main Vampire!Henry AU, I’ve sat on this line for a while and decided it would go better with the Vampire!Henry Studio AU. So here it is!
“Is something wrong? You haven’t eaten in days.”
“I-Is something wrong, Henry? You haven’t eaten in days.” Henry tore his eyes away from the paperwork in front of him to look up a Wally, red eyes meeting blue.
Joey’s management skills left much to be desired, and now the former animator had to put the studio back into some form of order to keep the company afloat. Grant had nearly cried in relief when Henry had started cleaning up the paperwork.
That had not made Wally’s distraction any less welcome for the vampire.
Wally had, originally, been pretty skittish around him when he’d came back to the studio. He could understand it, with the reputation most vampires had, he probably would have been pretty nervous too. The young Janitor had spent a lot of time avoiding him, while it had hurt, but there wasn’t really anything he could do about it.
“It’s nothing you need to worry about Wally. I’ve just been busy, is all. I’ll probably get something to eat later. Maybe…” Henry trailed off, his eyes trailing back to the stack of papers and restraining a sigh. The sandy haired young man hesitated at the threshold of the room, seeming to be trying to make a decision. His expression suddenly set on his face, seeming to finally make up his mind. He stepped into the office, pulling the door shut. Henry blinked in confusion as Wally approached him.
“Wally? Is something…” The words died on his lips when he saw the janitor pull down the zipper on his jumpsuit and unbuttoned the collar of shirt, exposing his throat to the vampire.
“G-go on. Everybody’d gotta eat sometime, an’ skippin’ meals isn’t good for you.” Henry’s eyes flicked up to Wally’s.
“You sure?” He was proud to say he kept the longing out of his voice, though that couldn’t be said about the faint growl that came from his stomach.
“Y-yeah. I’m sure.” Henry gave Wally a small smile, standing up and closing the distance between them and wrapping him a hug. The man tensed in his arms, but didn’t shy away or try to pull free of the loose grip.
“Thanks.” He got a careful grip on man’s neck then bit down.
He was relieved that Wally wasn’t actually afraid of him.
If someone were to throw something through you would you feel anything? Or is it just numb?
Ghost!Sammy: “It feels really weird, and I don’t like it. I can’t really explain it any better than that.”
((Mun: Sammy can actually feel anything that moves through him. Completely. It’s like touching something with your hands, but inside of you. He really doesn’t like that feeling. No ghost does.))
Here’s Joey! I wasn’t feeling up to coloring right now, so I’ll just give a quick description here.
Joey was an ash blonde, with blue-grey eyes, and fair skin.
Clothes are; A white shirt, dark brown vest, a murky red tie, dark grey pants, and black loafers.
In the main AU, he wears mostly the same wordrobe, but it’s heavily stained with ink, and he’s lost all the color in his hair. He’s also very wrinkled.
In the VHStudio AU, as a vampire, Joey’s eyes turn a similar shade of red as Henry’s, he grows fangs, and his ears become pointed. But other than that, he's pretty much the same.
Henry: “Sometimes I have to ask myself, is it worth it?”
---
Henry, even though he’s a vampire, can eat normal foods. And often does so to delay needing to get blood. It’s not really a great choice for his health, but it does tamp down on his cravings.
Regular food is a Okay alternative for Vampires, but it’s not very healthy for them. A bit like eating junk food or candy. It fills you for a little while, but it shouldn’t be the only thing you eat.
But with how old that Bacon Soup is, is it really a good idea to eat it?
