First chapter here.
╔•══════•༺۝༻•══════•╗
During the several other days, he could feel something changing. Vampire was coming in a lot earlier, even when the bar was full in motion! It was odd surely, but why? Sometimes, Sparkling had to be the one taking care, as Vampire was quick to lay down on the floor. That wasn't normal either, but he was having too an hard time.
He also noticed Vampire getting weaker. Physically, he couldn't even stand at times. It was concerning, to the point of him asking about It to Alchemist. She said to not worry further, and that It wasn't such a big deal. Though, the tone in which she said so wasn't the most reassuring either.
Something was off. He wasn't even having such of a daily routine, either. Sparkling was too focused on these events, that he didn't hear the door opening up again.
"Sparkling?"
He zoned back in, now being in front of Herb cookie, who didn't have his usual flower pot. He probably put It somewhere else or left It home. He didn't see him for quite the time, he was a regular too after all.
"I'm sorry for not coming that often! I had to help Clover cookie, and was pretty busy...what happened! You look terrible."
Sparkling didn't react much, as he proceeded to put out some of his best glasses. It wasn't because he didn't care about Herb's concerns, he did, and yet there was something that couldn't make him think that straight again. He turned around, trying to adjust the mess that was his hair. When was the last time he combed It? He usually did three times a day, what has seriously happened??
"Work stress. I probably should take a day or two off... I didn't have much of a deal working at this hour, but it's recently become more tiring."
Herb sat down, sipping some of Sparkling's beer he already preparred. He however didn't want to get that drunk, so he did little sips, while waiting for Sparkling to finish. The drink did taste good, just as sweet as Herb liked.
"You really should!! It's no good for you to overwhelm yourself like that!! Take time for yourself after this turn."
He gave him a little, yet sad smile. Thruth is, even Sparkling didn't know whether to take that opportunity or not. Sure, if It was a couple of days, cookies wouldn't have minded It, but there was something holding him back. He didn't have time to reply, as the door's bell rang again, opening up to a crawling, drunk Vampire.
Sparkling immidiately rushed, leaving Herb much more than confused. Since he visited Sparkling during the day, It was unusal seeing Vampire so soon. But understandable, there must've been a reason why he was always so drunk.
As the blonde guy carried him over, he heard Vampire's soft whispers, asking for more Bloody Mary. He didn't listen to his rambles, and rather out him down onto the nearest couch. Herb silently got up, and got closer
"Vampire?? What are you doing here?"
The drunk man, with a little grin on his face, after mumbling something about grapes, tilted his head over, now looking at Herb, who was quite concerned.
"I dunnooooo...Sparkly...could you take the medicine for me? I might haave made Al mad maddy, and don't wanna upset her moreee..."
Sparkling sighed, trying not to seem annoyed. But, he did like how his new nickname. Sparkly, huh? Sounded good enough, and It wasn't too embarassing either, so It was a win. He went back in, as Herb was now being the one taking care of Vampire. He opened the package, and to his horror, It was empty. Completely empty.
Everything has been drained from earlier days, and he didn't notice that. His and Al's house was too far off to be brought there. What if he acted upon instincts? And what about Herb?? He had to act quickly. He rushed to the nearest cellphone, which was on a tiny oak trunk. Sparkling panickly reached for Al's number.
Hopefully, he had almost every cookie's number, and wasn't too hard to find. As soon as the ringtone faded, he immidiately started to call out for her.
"AL??ALCHEMIST??"
"Sparkling? What's wrong?? My brother isn't botherin you, Is he? It's too early got him to-"
"Alchemist, listen to me. I may have...screwed up, and desperatly need your help"
He had to interrupt, even if he wasn't the type of person to do so. It was an emergency, and not knowing what to do, It was the only thing Sparkling could've done. And Herb was potentially in danger, and he didn't want anything on his conscience. He trusted Vamp, but if It was too late, then...
"Hey!! What have you done?!? Could you explain better?? This Is more confusing than whathever i'm working on."
Sparkling gasped too for air, trying to find the right words to explain everything. Even if It was Vampire's fault of not taking It at home, he felt as if he was to be blamed, too.
"Re... remember the vials you gave me? Vamp wanted one, as he didn't drink anything at home... that's what he said, so i went to take one, and everything is empty. Every single one. Herb's here too... I'm frightened. I don't know what to do."
He didn't want Herb nor Vampire being hurt in any way. If only he took time to check on them, this wouldn't have happened.
"Spark it's not the time for melanchony, god damn... I'll hurry, Vamp owes me a big deal! If only he wasn't so careless...Get Herb away, and hide. Don't open the door until I'm there!
The call ended. He hurried back in, as Herb and Vampire were talking, as if he was just pretty drunk, nothing happening. Herb turned his head around, going to welcome his return, but instead focusing on his terrified eyes. He wanted to ask what was wrong, now this wasn't normal at all! Was he hiding something? Why would he?
Herb didn't have enough time for questions, as he got pushed away by him. He couldn't resist much, and when he was already out of the door, everything was suddently closed. Even the curtains were all down, not letting Herb see anything at that point.
He tried to open up the door with his own strenght, but couldn't.
"Sparkling?!?! SPARKLING!! OPEN THE DOOR??"
He could've heard him, but decided not to. He gasped again. Vampire was still concious, which seemed to be a good thing. He tilted his dizzy head over, wondering why Sparkling had such a worried gaze. He should've been rested by now. He only had to bring in some vails..
"Mhm...? Why did you kick him out? He didn't do... anything..."
"We ran out of blood. That's what happened."
Sparkling said, with a much irritaded tone. He wasn't ready for this, and looking now at Vampire, who was visibly disturbed, he wasn't either. He just hoped Al could arrive in time. Vampire was all of a sudden quiet. Probably speechless, Sparkling didn't know either. He finnaly got up, not looking at Vamp. As he was getting used to walk again, he gave in a little message, to try to change subject.
"I'll...take some water now. Alchemist will soon be there with what you need, until then-"
He couldn't finish the sentence. He heard a loud thud from behind. Sparkling thought It was either Vampire falling, or something else. He was paranoid, before finnaly turning back.
Vampire wasn't even on the couch anymore, as if he just disappeared. Out of the blue. This clearly didn't help, and waiting for Alchemist wouldn't have done anything better. He felt something reaching out for him from below. It was an hand.
Vamp's hand, which was a lot more like a claw.
He was crawling on the floor, not sure because of hydritation, or if It was a symptom of his bloodlust. It however allarmed it, like It should, as Vampire used that as a way to stand up. Or something even worse.
Sparkling grabbed a nearest mop, and used the wood part in order to defend himself, so he could reach for a room to stay in. His only options were either his room, which was upstairs, or his wine storage, which was a lot closer. He reached for his keyes, now getting closer and closer. He touched the doorknob.
No use.
He suddently was on the ground, unable to move.
Vampire completely jumped on him, as he dangerously came close to his face. As Sparkling was indeed shivering, he again grabbed the part of the stick that was left from the mop, using It as a defence, as Vampire started struggling.
It lasted for a bit, as his fangs soon shattered what remained in pieces. It was now the chance for Sparkling to get in, slamming the door, as hissing and other sinister sounds could be heard. He was too exhausted to talk, and had to remain active so he wouldn't get bitten. And so Vampire couldn't do the same to others or himself. Time passing, that seemed hours for him, the situation slowly calmed down, and with
Alchemist's arrival a few minutes later, he was relived. He slowly opened the door, as Alchemist did feed to a semi unconcious Vampire one of her vails. It wasn't even that late, but he could've felt so much tiredness. To the point of fainting, before Alchemist could've said anything.
Mabye, he did need a day off.

@somni-omni tagged me in the quarantine game!
ARE YOU STAYING HOME FROM WORK OR SCHOOL?
yep!  avid readers will recall that i got kicked out of the dorms so i had to move into my new apartment Much Earlier Than Anticipated, and also got sick, so “staying home” was a somewhat elaborate process.  but im Here Now and i am Staying Here
IF YOU’RE STAYING HOME, WHO IS THERE WITH YOU?
my roommates & best pals @augmentedvarangian and @eleperson.  together we have reached new depths of private incomprehensible meme language; when we are released from quarantine none of us will be able to speak english anymore.  50% of my utterances are variously modulated uwus already
ARE YOU A HOMEBODY?
yeah, im not real big on going to places.  it’s tiring and none of my stuff is there
that said if im inside for more than like 2-3 days without taking a walk i start to feel kinda wonky
AN EVENT THAT YOU WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT GOT CANCELLED?
i was supposed to graduate this spring!  and like, commencement sounds kinda bad (sit in a hot courtyard for four hours while a guy recites the names of people who you mostly don’t know?  parents like it for some reason?) but i WAS looking forward to senior ball.  @augmentedvarangian and i went to a formal dance in freshman year in wrongly gendered outfits and it was bad, so we were gonna get a cool suit (me) and a fancy dress (her) and go to senior ball for like... symmetry
i have the suit now but i don’t fucking know what i’m ever going to wear it to
WHAT MOVIES HAVE YOU WATCHED RECENTLY?
we rewatched megamind and captain america: the winter soldier for the benefit of @eleperson who somehow hadn’t seen them.  also the Cats movie.  (WERE THE COCKROACHES REALLY NECESSARY??)
WHAT SHOWS ARE YOU WATCHING?
with the roommates: recently finished steven universe future.  rewatched the first couple episodes of gentleman jack, a few episodes of leverage, and like one episode of eizouken with them as well.  we had plans to watch rwby together but i’ve already seen rwby and there’s a lot of it, and i’m a bit tired of rewatching things, so idk if that’ll happen.  
i’m partway through watching eizouken by myself but i don’t know when i’ll pick that back up.  before we were all kicked off campus i was also watching fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood with a different friend of mine; hopefully at some point we’ll continue doing that remotely.  
i’m not sure if this counts as a show but i religiously watch the weekly build videos from wintergatan on youtube
WHAT MUSIC ARE YOU LISTENING TO?
in the past couple days i’ve been vibing with: natalie macmaster, the death note soundtrack, spotify’s “indie classical music” playlist, lindsey stirling, a jazz playlist i made.  i Don’t want to listen to anything with lyrics right now for some reason, and i’m trying to keep things upbeat so i can pretend i have energy
WHAT ARE YOU READING?
mostly fanfiction.  the other day i was like “wah i want to read something other than fic” so i bought gideon the ninth (ebook) and read it in one sitting.  my tbr shelf stares out at me balefully from the bookshelf i finally managed to assemble and unpack my books onto
WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR SELF CARE?
i don’t know if this is “self care” so much as “procrastination” but: cross-stitch, knitting, making cookies.  i also try to go for walks on a regular basis, and disallow myself from “doing work” (mostly during the day i don’t get much done either, but i feel worse about it) in the evenings.  the concept of “meals” is becoming increasingly foreign to me but im trying to make sure i at least eat something other than rice and snacks occasionally
also, unpacking and organizing and assembling furniture and cleaning all the boxes out of my room.  at some point i dream of actually hanging curtains but my curtain rod situation is SO stupid rn so i just try to make sure i’m not standing directly in front of the window with my titties out
tagging: so like, when people say “consider yourself tagged if you want!” i always go “i want to do the thing but have i REALLY been tagged... can i put ‘tagged by person’ in the top of the post... no, no, i shan’t, i shall just sit here in despair until i am tagged for real...”  but if you haven’t done this and you want to, do it!  say i tagged you!  go for it!

once again filling my evening answering questions nobody asked
cherry turnover:  who do you live with? 
i’ve lived by myself for three months now!! it’s cool and there are some things that are really nice about living totally alone like truly never bothering anyone with the shit you’re doing. but im tryna move in with evie soon and we’re hoping to have a place by mid june!!!! we just looked at some today and im jazzed  bananas foster:  do you believe in soul mates?
yes absolutely but like in a specific sense. i don’t believe everyone has like one singular soul mate, and i don’t believe soul mates are exclusively romantic. but i completely believe there are people you’re cosmically supposed to meet, and that sometimes the odds are all against you meeting but you still do, and when you finally meet there is some kind of feeling like you’ve either known each other way longer, or you instantly know they’re going to be so important to you. i think i’ve met more than one soul mate by that definition in my life. one was the guide of a travel group i went on a trip with when i was 16, and i only knew him for a week but we both connected so strong and instantly, and both were clearly affected by it i think we both walked away differently. i’ve never seen him since then and i cried a lot the last day of that trip. but like it definitely wasn’t romantic?? it was just some kind of deep soul connection. i also think you can have friendships that are gonna last forever and those are pretty close to soul mates too. basically i have a lot of very romanticized ideas about people you meet in your life  glazed donut:  would you rather visit a zoo or an aquarium?
prob an aquarium  pumpkin pie:  what were your interests as a child?
i really fuckin loved dinosaurs when i was rlly young, like preschool and kindergarten age. i liked cool rocks a lot too, i had a ton of geodes and crystals and those little stones you could buy at like museum giftshops that i kept in boxes and would just look at all the time. i was rlly obsessed with harry potter when i was like 8 i think that was when i first read the books and there were only five at the time. late childhood (like 4/5th grade) i loved cats on probably a weird level bc wow yeah i was a warrior cats kid, also loved pirates a lot  lemon tart:  how many languages can you speak?
just one unfortunately. i wish i knew a second language but alas  chocolate mousse:  how is your relationship with your parents?
it could probably be better, but i guess it is a lot better than a lot of people my age have. i love my parents but they’re rlly problematic people, and even tho they didn’t mean to, they are the biggest reason i have a lot of the issues i have, and they still do shit that perpetuates it. it’s better in some ways that i don’t live with them now, bc i think some parts of my mental health like my self image are better bc i’m around way more supportive people than them. but also i feel bad bc i don’t make as much of an effort to talk to them as i should since i don’t see them every day. me and my mom have always been pretty close, and i don’t want to lose that. they try sometimes  creme brûlée:  describe your style
american apparel lmao which i can only keep saying for like the next YEAR before that won’t define anything for people. but 4 real a good portion of my wardrobe is from american apparel, and when i shop else ware, it’s still pretty consistent with that style. like very basic cuts and colors of things, only pattern i ever wear is stripes, highwaisted everything, cropped everything. i only wear black white gray and green i am a stereotype  cheesecake:  have you ever visited a sex shop?
lmao yeah more than once. there’s a couple around where i live that i’ve been to a few times, and one in columbus. i’ve never bought anything at one, or gone there with like the intent to purchase stuff. they’re just honestly so funny to walk through and be horrified by the enormous dildos  raspberry sorbet:  favorite clothing stores?
wow i can’t say american apparel anymore im so sad. so uh. i honestly don’t know where im gonna get most of my clothes now. forever 21 and h&m are always good places to find some cheap stuff. i wanna thrift more, but i never seem to have very good luck at finding stuff  green tea ice cream:  who was your first crush?
lmao it was milo thatch from atlantis. but i assume we are talking about a real person that i actually y’know like. could speak to. which was my tumblr boyfriend that i met when i was 17. i met him in a fandom chatroom i ended up in through some other tumblr friends, then kinda started getting some feels when he posted a selfie after we’d already talked in the chat and i was like oh no he’s hot. so wowie a tragic tale of star-crossed lovers  chocolate chip cookie:  how has your life changed over the past year?
i can’t even start to say how much my life has changed over the last year. truly, i don’t think there’s ever been a year in my life that i’ve looked at and been so in awe of how many things happened. but yeah last spring-this spring i went through so many life experiences and firsts and personality changes and struggles and some of the happiest days of my life and by far the fucking worst days of my life. since april last year, i fell in love for the first time, had a real relationship for the first time, became a lot more social, got really close to some of the people i’m now closest to, got high for the first time, lost my virginity, went to big parties, got a lot more social, met a lot of people, saw a lot of new sides of life, questioned a lot of my own beliefs and came to new ones, left the country without my parents, traveled out of state completely by myself, got my heart completely destroyed for the first time, attempted suicide, thought my life would literally not make it to this point, moved out of my house, lived on my own, got stronger, figured some shit out, hooked up with someone at a party, had casual sex for the first time, now i’m hoping to move again in the next few months. i know some of that is like. not actually that exciting, and a lot of it was shit that most people do for the first time in high school, but it was a lot for me. i ended up in a world and lifestyle that i used to write fiction about and romanticize the hell out of, and never thought i’d actually live it first hand. so rlly this last year was fuckin wild for me and in a lot of ways i feel like i’ve aged 60 years, and i’m tired from that much all in one year, but i’m also still kinda naive and clueless so what can u do  berry trifle:  first & last concert you went to?
so wow i don’t go to real concerts. the first was probably some christian band with my family. the last. does the american murder song wake tour count? that was kind of a concert  tapioca pudding:  favorite animated characters?
WOW let me fuckin TELL u my favorite animated characters. number one will always always always be revy from black lagoon. i have never loved a character that much in my life, everything about her is so good. she’s such a goddamn disaster and so well written and complex and so much more than just a typical bad ass female archetype. i love that it’s not just headcanon to read deep into her personality, it’s a huge point of the series. i love that on the surface she is just like. a bad ass with no feeling. then u actually get to the end of the series and she is actually a CHILD inside who is so fuckin insecure and she LOVES ROCK SO MUCH i wanna die. also lust from fullmetal alchemist esp the 2003 anime fuck me ALL THE WAY UP. ed elric, and truly everyone in fullmetal alchemist what a series what a cast of characters.  fudge brownie:  do you like your name?
sometimes. i used to really hate it when i was younger, now it’s changed some. i like still don’t like it when i say it out loud probably bc people 100% of the time think i said cindy and i have to correct them every dang time. but like that i can shorten it to syd which i also used to hate bc toy story (i was a kid ok) but now i like it. there are also those times where people you like say your name and it makes u feel some type of way??? i like it then. so i guess i like it most when other people are saying it u feel me strawberry shortcake:  are you good at keeping secrets?
i mean if it’s my own, absolutely not what the fuck is a secret i am a tragic over sharer about my own shit. but other people’s, yes i’d say so. i feel like a lot of people feel comfortable enough to tell me things they might not tell other people, and i don’t ever feel like it’s a burden to keep a secret y’know?? so it doesn’t like eat at me and make me wanna tell people  tiramisu:  are you daring when it comes to makeup & clothing or do you like to play it safe?
uh i guess somewhere in the middle. like the way i dress isn’t rlly how everyone dresses and i guess in some crowds would be considered pretty different, but i don’t know if its daring bc its not like....that adventurous or out there. esp bc i only wear neutral colors lmao. same with makeup, for the most part, it’s pretty simple but every now and then i like to do something fancier. i feel like the most daring things about me appearance wise are like having a lot of piercings and tattoos??? so y’know make ur daring shit permanent i guess im not that edgy lmao oreo milkshake:  do you sleep a lot?
i feel like i sleep a pretty average amount. i wish i could sleep more bc i’m tired all the time, but way more i wish i could sleep less. i love the idea of being able to just naturally get up early and have so much time in the morning to do shit and enjoy the morning. and i like staying up late. but i’m always tired and even tho i have to get up early most mornings, it’s still a constant struggle and i wish it wasn’t. i’ll sleep pretty late when i get the chance tho
apple crisp:  how do you relax?
guess it depends on what i’m feeling. i like to take baths a lot, or just chill and watch movies and stuff. i love having relaxing hangouts with friends, like just chilling watching movies with people and not needing to do anything else. i wanna do more quote-unquote relaxing stuff, like read and write more, go to yoga classes, shit like that carrot cake:  who is your celeb look alike?
i’ve been told more than once i look like krysten ritter so i will go with her. it’s the bangs macaron:  what is your ethnicity?
white af cinnamon bun:  favorite salty snack?
wow salty snacks are my VICE i love salty shit way more than sweet things. fuck man i love chips of all kinds, i’ve been eating way too many hot cheetos lately, french fries, mcdonalds hash browns, i’m gonna have blood pressure issues from how much i love salt
