No one pov:

It was just another night like most nights in the castle. Duke just got bunked on the head again by Missi for trying to take that cane again. (y/n) just came in with glasses of blood and could guess what happened. 

(y/n): trying to take that cane again?

Duke: how could you tell?

(y/n): few reasons, but now, when I think about it, I want to ask. Where did you get that from, anyway? 

Duke: oh...

Missi: I'm curious as well

Duke looked like he was thinking.

Duke: I suppose I could tell you two about it

(y/n) sat down for this. 

Duke: after I left that... vampire society, I went back to my old home here. My father was gone at that time. Then I found a letter for me from him. I was mad and ended up putting away his old stuff and painting in storage. Then I burned the letter he gave me. 

(y/n): did you read the letter?

Duke: no, and I didn't care. Would you?

(y/n) took a little while to answer that question. 

(y/n): well... if my dad was a vampire hunter and what he was like. I would still have read it just in case there might be something important or concerning for me. 

Duke: perhaps you could be right. Anyway, after I smoked, I felt this presence. I looked over to the graveyard and saw red lights like glowing mist. I got a shovel and dug it up. I found a box and opened it. Then there was that cane.

He points over to the cane.

Missi: what happened after that?

Duke: It wasn't in very good condition. It might have had extra features that went away and had rust. I knew those vampires would want it, but I didn't care anymore. It was mine now. Then I felt a force from it. In a way, it was alive. I looked at the shed, and the next thing I did was restore it. I got rid of its rust and gave it some fabric, which it wrapped itself around the cane. Then I found out it's power. I was happy that I had an advantage that my father and the vampires didn't have. After some time passed, I hired you (y/n). And YOU killed me, then took the cane. 

Missi gave a smug smile.

Missi: it's mine now, and I brought you back

(y/n): okay, anyways, that was an interesting story. But I guess your dad got that cane, but for not too long.

Duke: maybe...

(y/n): also, about me becoming a vampire...

Missi: yes, but what do you think?

(y/n): I don't think I'm ready for something like that, and I'm also the only person here who can go out in the day to get stuff. It might be harder for me if I can only get things at night especially if those... other vampires are around. Are they still around?

Duke: I think there's a good chance they are still around. If you see any of them around, let us know immediately. 

Missi: we do care about you and don't want you dead, taken, or turned by another vampire

(y/n): got it

He went back to his normal duties. Duke looked out at the city from the window and thought about...

Duke in mind: what would they do to him or me?
