They call it baiting. It's something of a rite of passage. Everyone tries it at least once. High schoolers do it to try and impress each other. College kids do it as a drunken dare. You get some fresh blood and wander around the city, trying to attract the attention of a vampire - it's just a bit of harmless fun. Only for some people it's not a game. For hunters it's a vital tactic in luring out vampires, at least those with weak wills. The vampires that can't control their hunger and lose it over a little spilled blood. When that happens it isn't so harmless. One man has the misfortune of just how bad a round of baiting can get when it attracts a nest of newly turned vampires. Maybe he was trying to play a game or maybe he was out hunting. Or he might have just been at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Whatever the reason for being there the man finds himself caught in the middle of a slaughter. He manages to crawl away from the worst of it, but not without a fatal injury. The man looks up to the sky thinking to get one last look at the stars before he dies, but his gaze falls on a semi-familiar face. The almost friendly face belongs to a vampire. But he's no ordinary vampire. He's a watcher - a vampire that feeds on other vampires. And he decides the human doesn't have to die.

The man's life isn't taken from him. It's changed. And he'll soon learn he isn't the first his sire has changed.

Pertinent Information

• I’m happy to rework some of the premise or add in brand new elements according to my partner’s interests. We’ll just have to talk about it! I want to collaborate on a story beyond what has been laid out so far.
• I’m looking for someone interested in writing the the Fledglings in this story. My writing partner has freedom in creating them. They can choose their names, appearances, personalities, etc. That's right - I'm looking for someone interested in writing multiple main characters. I'd appreciate a writing partner that would be willing to write at least two fledgling vampires within the story.
• I have the Sire mostly fleshed out in my head. I can change a few little details about them if my partner asks, but overall he's going to come as he is.
• Sometimes I post daily, but sometimes it might be a week or so before I reply. And when real life happens it happens. I’m looking for a writing partner that will be content with a steady, but no pressure pacing for the story.
• Forum only. I like to use YIM/AIM or PMs to discuss details about the story and plot, but not for fully writing out scenes.
