All the vampires were chilling in the common room talking, except for Scott who was sat in an arm chair and was ignoring everyone
"-yours like Scott?" He looked up to see Shelby staring at him expectantly "pardon?"
"what was your childhood like Scott?" "Typical why do you ask?"
"Oh we were just talking and wondered what a noble's childhood would be like"
Cleo scoffed from beside her "could you be any more vague nobody knows what a "typical" childhood for a noble would be especially when there from hundreds of years ago"
"Well it's not my fault that you were raised common I had a perfectly average life aside from being given to Some vampires it was normal"
An awkward silence settled on the group, all of them staring at the elder with varying levels of concern
Cleo looked at him skeptically "elaborate"
scott raised an eyebrow slightly confused "well my parents were in debt to a man who happened to be a vampire so instead of paying it with money they shipped me off to be turned and or killed" he chuckled slightly "tried to knock out two birds with one stone I suppose"
Owen deadpanned "yeah that's not normal"
"What do you mean? Its perfectly normal to repay debts with children normally it's with marriage but still"
Shelby looked over to him face etched with worry "children?!" She all but squeaked "w-were you a child?!"
He cocked his head in thought "no I don't think so I was around 15 I think"
They glanced at each other all in astonishment at how oblivious the elder vampire was to how messed up his turning was
Cleo threw their hands up in disbelief "that's not Normal Idiot!!" They stormed off "now I know why this coven is so messed up!"
