No Longer Humane

The moon glowed down on the vampire hunter's institute through the glass dome
ceiling. The blue moonlight reflected on Dr. Albert Ziegermann's study as he sat with his
candlelight in his study frantically writing down notes in his book trying to ignore the
urges to itch his wrists covered in medical wraps. The sensation burned to his core as
he can feel the wound bubble and reopen twitching beneath the wraps making his
hands shake and twitch. No matter how much he tried to ignore it the pain started to
mess with his handwriting, it was shaky and unintelligible as veins started creeping into
his palms he threw the pen away and leaned back into his hard chair.
"Mein Gott" Albert said as he looked upon his manic twitching hand "It cannot be..."
He cautiously unwrapped his wrists to see the bitemarks had seemingly been hidden by
the amount of blood and veins surrounding them infecting his hand. He gasped sweat
dripped from his forehead and his glasses jolted forward.
"Nein..." Albert said "I did everything...how can this be!?"
Suddenly the door swung open, Albert swiftly hid his hand on his side and clenched his
shoulder. Thus came the institute's secretary, Harvey, with a cut on his right palm.
"Good evenin' doc!" Harvey said "How are–"
"Fine!" Albert said "Just fine my boy"
"...alright" Harvey said taken aback slightly "Do you have any–"
"No! We ran out!" Albert said
"But you don't–"
"I SAID WE RAN OUT!" Albert yelled as his skin became flushed out "YOU DON'T
TRUST ME!?"
"N-No I–"
"YOU THINK I'M HIDING SOMETHING DON'T YOU!?" He yelled
"A-Are you?"
"SO YOU DO THINK I'M LYING!" Albert said as he grabbed a gun from his drawers and
stood up hiding his infected arm behind his back
"D-Doctor calm- ahh!" Harvey said accidentally squeezing his cut pouring some blood
on the ground
Albert felt himself grow weak, the blood dripping on the ground brought out some primal
animalistic urge deep within him, he felt his knees grow weak, his mouth salivating and
his arms shaking. Harvey quickly hid his hand behind his back and slowly stepped back.
"H-Harvey..." Albert said dropping the gun "I think we got off on the wrong foot mein
Freund"
"D-Don't come any closer doctor!" Harvey said shaking
"Why? We're all human here aren't we?" Albert said
"...I'm not sure that's the truth doctor..." Harvey said
Albert settled down, he fell to his knees and his head fell forward and Harvey started to
hear sobbing from Albert. Albert's eyes filled with tears as he began to whimper, it
tugged on Harvey's heartstrings to see his friend in pain, against his better judgement
Harvey slowly approached Albert to try and comfort him
Only for Albert to grab at his hand and rip the flesh off with his teeth as Harvey started
to yell in agonizing pain, Albert's teeth dug into Harvey's wound, sucking out the blood
relishing in the sweet nectar and throwing away his humanity forever.
Harvey reached for Albert's gun and shot his own hand, severing his hand from his arm
as he got up and ranaway yelling for help. But Albert didn't care; he kept sucking the
blood out of Harvey's as he threw away his humanity.
