Part 16, the Tragic Backstory™
(psst! This is based off of @a-random-jayebird 's vampire Larry Trainor art! They're a great artist go check them out!)
Francis hopped along the rock path of the woods near his house when whimpering got his attention.
"hello? Anyone there?" Francis looked around before spotting a small wolf cub. When he looked closer, it appeared humanoid. Francis picked it up and headed home.
"looks like he's a morph Vampire." William said after looking at what his son brought home.
"why does he look like that?"
"his mother must have been in form when he was born. He's stuck like that unless he's given the vampirism of another, then he will be in a human form and will be able to properly morph."
"I found him in the woods."
"he must have been abandoned by a wild morph for not being in a complete morph."
"can we raise him then?"
"Francis."
"please? He needs a home."
"Francis, this is not a wild animal. This is a child."
"and that's why he needs a home!"
"fine. We will raise him."
"and I'll give him my vampirism!"
"Francis no. He can live a normal, healthy life just the way he is. He will be smaller and weaker so, as his brother, you will need to protect him."
Francis sat at Lawrence's bed.
"mama? What's wrong with him?"
"he's weak sweetie. Be patient with him." Debbie smiled.
"but he wasn't last week!" Francis pouted.
"he's sick Francis." William flipped through the paper.
"but he's been sick before!" Francis pouted again.
"Francis sweetheart. This isn't a cold. He's ill and a vampire would need to give up their vampirism for him to live. He's going to die. I'm sorry Francis." Debbie placed her hands on her son's shoulders.
"I can give him my vampirism!"
"you'll be weak."
"well I've protected him! He can protect me!"
"how will we explain why he looks like you?"
"we can move somewhere new! He'll be my twin brother!"
"Francis-"
"I'm not letting him die even if it kills me!"
