It been a few days since Virus came to the manor, bex fretted abit. Remember his talk with Stahs about virus.

“Virus is a dangerous being, though he is also lonely and likely scared. I use to check in on him regularly though I have slacked off in that. I really do need to see him again. Hopefully i can regain his trust.” Stahs explains.

Bex looked thoughtful “Why is he so skittish?”

Stahs shrugs “from what i know hes from a lab, i haven’t gotten much out of him. I guess he was some experiment, but i have been trying to get him to come here for a while.”

Bex frown some, remembering his time in a lab. He felt abit of a kindred spirit towards Virus, listening to Stahs speak. “Where does he stay?” He ask.

Stahs thought some and spoke “In an abandoned warehouse in the woods. It’s really run down. I know he can’t be comfortable there, but i can’t get him to trust me enough to come here fully.”

Yes Bex remember that conversation well. He had also decided to visit Virus himself, despite Stahs telling him no. He wander the woods in search of the warehouse. It couldn’t have been far from the manor if Stahs walked to it to visit.

Bex walked and searched, till finally he found an abandoned warehouse. How many of them out there could there be in the woods, this had to be it. Bex walked up to peek into the boarded up window, looking inside to see Virus picking through a pile of junk. Virus was trying to get energy from any thing thay still had juice in it.

Bex slowly move to climb through the boarded up door, where there was a gap big enough for him to get through. Virus was still picking through the pile, the warehouse was grimy and cluttered with broken parts and junk. Bex got in and accidentally kicked a metal piece that clank across the floor. Virus turn seeing Bex and growled at him.

Bex held his hands up as he cautiously approached “Hey there, uh….i um…i cane to apologize. You kind of startled me, i wasn’t suspecting to wake up to a new face. ” he told Virus.

Virus stared at Bex, narrowing his eyes slightly. The energy vampire didn’t move, just watched the shifter closely.

Bex would stop and spoke up “You know I too was made in a lab. I know what its like, im sure you feel lonely, but you are not alone.” He assured him.

Virus slowly moved closer to Bex, tilting his head. “You are from a lab too?” He ask.

Bex gave a slow nod ” Yeah, we are kind of the same. You and I, we were created and now we are free.” He give a slow smile.

Virus listen “The same…..” he reach to cup Bex face as he stared the shifter down.

Bex tense a little but relax and just smiled “Yes, like um kindred spirits.” He told him.

Virus had started feeding on his energy “You will stay here, with us…..stay because we are the same.” He told him.

Bex was a little nervous at his words, not really putting the lose of energy together “Uh oh well I mean I can’t stay, but i can visit again or you can visit the manor.” Feeling the drain.

Virus continues to drain Bex “You can stay here with us and we won’t be alone, yes you stay here.” He told him.

Bex started to realize Virus was draining him and he didn’t know what to do. He didn’t want to push Virus away and ruin Stahs chances of getting the energy vampire to trust him. However he didn’t want to be stuck here “Look I’ll come back everyday I promis.” He told Virus.

Virus seemed to still drain him as he said “Come back everyday… everyday….everyday….” he slowly glitched and got a vacant stare as he froze.

Bex managed to pull away and got distance staring at Virus who did move. Bex stared with a frown at the glitched energy vampire “I promise I will come back…..Im sorry.” He move and got out of the warehouse, running off to head back to the manor.
