This is @breebird33 ’s lovely vampire, Patrik.

I hope I did him justice, the comic is so cute, and funny, and dark & gory … y'all need to read it!

It was silly to her that formal recruitment mandated that all potential new members had to visit each house. What was the point? They were all going to be the same vapid, air headed girls with matching highlights and tans. Plus, it wasn't like she was going to get a bid anyways. She was far from the typical sorority girl. But all she needed to do was to go through sorority recruitment. That was the deal that she had with her mom. Go through rush, and then her entire college experience would be paid for. Surely, that's all it would take.

She looked around at all the other girls rushing and felt out of place. Usually, it was easy for her to just fit in, but she looked like the odd one out. Maybe it wouldn't be so painful. This was the UK after all, not the dirty South where her mother was raised to be a belle. Sororities could be different here. She just had to convince herself that as she fell in line with her rush group.

Tonight was no different. If she wanted to get through the pledging process, and more importantly, be able to enjoy the benefits of sisterhood, she had to get through the pledge task assigned. She let them blindfold her and lead her into a room by herself. They sat her on the ground and it wasn't long before she heard the lock click on the door. "Okay guys, what now?" Silence. "Guys?" Bree hesitantly went to move the blindfold of her eyes but it made no difference. The room was pitch black. There wasn't even light shining through the crack under the door. She crawled on the floor and tried to feel for the walls, but there was no end to it. 

Was she still in the house? What possible room could they have taken her to that was big enough to do this without any semblance of light? "Breathe," she repeated to herself trying to calm herself down. "It's a test... do not freak out..." The more that she tried to find a wall, the more the mantra wasn't working. Her breathing got more shallow and eventually, she curled up and brought her knees into her chest to keep herself from hyperventilating.

"It's only the dark. Who's afraid of the dark? Sixty minutes? That's nothing..." she said, trying to shrug it off. "Five year olds. You aren't five. There's no boogeymen in there. But there could be spiders. Things that crawl. That stupid ass Paranormal Activity ghost thing. No... No, that's no real. Stop it." She took several deep breaths and rubbed her hands together. They're probably recording this. Fuck this... She could only imagine them laughing at whatever video they were taking, especially since she had taken to talking to herself.

Her head whipped around in the darkness, thinking that she heard a sound coming from a far corner. Every inch of her being had the immediate reflex to get as far away from it as possible. But a small part of her hoped that a noise meant that there was a way out for her. Maybe where there was sound there was light. She heard the sound again, and followed her gut instinct to try to get the hell away. Bree got up and ran in the opposite direction of the sound. Unfortunately for her, she finally found one of the walls of the room, face first. She staggered back and turned around, sliding down the wall back onto the floor. That's gonna leave a mark... she thought to herself, rubbing her forehead. 

There was no sense in trying to go anywhere. Bree had to stay in there for the full sixty minutes and face her fears. It didn't matter that it was dark. It didn't matter that she was by herself. It didn't matter that she had no fucking clue where she was at. All that mattered was that it was going to be over soon. She pulled her shirt up to her nose and took deep breaths as if she was breathing into a paper bag. As soon as she did, the lights came on and a sister unlocked the room, letting her go. "What the fuck happened to you?" the other girl said pointing at Bree's head. 

Been chattin' with Breebird33 and firehouselight about what Patrik would be like is he embraced his evil side and went full villain.
