So, I'm playing around with my monster today. (no eyebleach, I swear, I mean on paper in a story.)
And I'm wondering what would it be like for him to go the first part of his life not knowing he's a monster, then at the onset of puberty he is hit with it--Vampire-like cravings.
With no monster-mentor, what would that be like? Would he be pissed, too? In addition to being sick and trying to figure out what the cravings are all about? Where would he go to figure out what was happening to him? Pre-Internet. The library? The streets?
It's not like he was bitten, or turned or anything. There is no one around that is responsible for "making" him that he can blame or follow. It's more like it's just been dormant and then BAM the switch is flipped.
Anyone know of a book/movie that does this sorta storyline? I'm drawing a blank.
Best I can think of right now is the storyline from Supernatural with that female angel.
There's got to be others.
