His human thoughts rang through my head loud and clear. "I've already eaten them. I drink their blood." I told Thanatos. It was good to have a name, very good to call him something other than dog or mutt. I continued to work on the bodies, and soon enough they were all in bits and pieces. I stuck them into the fireplace, poured on the lighter fluid, and set them ablaze. Then, I sat. For a while I watched as the bodies burned. I made sure the flames didn't reach outside of the boundary of the hearth. Once satisfied, I moved toward my room. I had to get the boy some clothes. Though men were not my...mate of choice, his body was certainly a distraction.
I came back with a pair of sweatpants and some clean boxers. I handed them to Thanatos. "We'll have to get you a razor, and a haircut." I mused, looking at the scraggly beard and unkempt hair. "I'm Emmanuel..." I held out my hand to him.

I could only look on confused as master seemed able to know what I was thinking. The smell of burning flesh made me forget about the odd power my master had. The stench smelled awful, making the pits full of blood, crap and vomit pleasant.
He handed me the cloths. I could only look at them, I knew nothing on how the were put on. As for as I knew humans grew a different pair of cloths while they slept. I just held the cloths, silently trying out his name as I tried to get the letters and sounds right. "Emmauel." I whispered finally, giving a goofy grin at getting it right.
My moment of joy was short lived through as I looked up at picture, catching my reflection in the glass. I looked like one of those men from that commercial that I saw on tv, something called a cave man. A long hair came from my chin to the top of my chest, the hair on top of my head didn't look even better. It was matted with blood and other things in it. My body didn't look any better; one jaw mark was around my throat as scars riddled the rest of my body. I could only sigh, it seemed that even in my human form I was battled scared.

I watched the fire burn the bodies to bone before I put it out. I would get rid of them later, no need for my house to smell even worse than it did now. That had been the easiest way to deal with them though, if there had been less...maybe I would have just buried them. I looked at my new friend with a sigh. "Come on, Let's get you cleaned up."
I took his hand, and the clothes I had given him. He seemed to know nothing about what was expected from a human. This would be more trying than I had anticipated. I led Thanatos to the bathroom. "Do you know how to bathe?" I asked, leaning down to turn on the water. Once it was warm I stopped the drain.
"I can go get some food, razors, and shaving cream while you bathe." I suggested. "There's shampoo. It's for your hair and your beard. There is also some soap, for your body."

I was lead into the bathroom, one of the doors that had been closed before hand. "Do you know how to bathe?" I have been bathed once or twice in my life but I could figure it out, I gave a nod wishing to show that I was not completely stupid. I had watched him turn on the water and plug the hole, it couldn't be to hard to turn the water off right?
Master left and I got into the tub while the water was still filling, my cloths sitting on the sink. The water felt great, nothing like the other baths I had. It didn't stink of other dogs and was actually clean. The water started to get close to the top and I did the opposite of what master did, a pleased grin on my face as the water stopped. All I could do for a while was sit back and enjoy the warm water.
Once I got my fill of the enjoyment, I started to look around. A square piece of cloth was sitting on the side of the tube alone with a little white square that smelled of fake flowers. I picked up the white thing first, watching as it went shooting out of my hands to hit the other side of the wall, making a loud 'thunk' before falling into the water. With a frown, I picked it up out of the water to watch it do the same stunt again. It seemed that humans had created something to just aggravate the hell out of them. After the third time of the white thing hitting the wall I used the cloth on the side of the tub to pick it up. This time the little bugger didn't go flying out.
I some how managed to pick it up out of the cloth without it shooting across in the air. It had left a white substance on the cloth, intrigued I started to rub the white square onto the cloth, watching as bubbles came out. I think put the cloth on my arm, enjoying the scrubbing feeling gave me. With that I started to move the cloth all over, enjoying the feeling and washing off the white stuff that was left.
I put the white square away, no longer wishing to chase it. A bottle caught my interests after I got done with cloth, the bubbles long gone on it. I picked it up and sniffed at it, it to smelling of fake flower. My mind took me back to what the thugs used on my fur when they bathed me, something like this but at least this smelled a whole hell of a lot better. Master said it was for my hair and beard. I shook it, trying to get the stuff out of it but it would not come out. I could only give a snort as it refused to yield to my demands.
The strange bottle went to my mouth, hearing a slight pop I took it out and looked at it, a small opening had appeared and more of the liquid inside could be smelled. I turned it upside down, watching as the stuff came out now and fell into the tub. Quickly, I put my other hand under the running substance and felt the cool shampoo puddle in the middle. Once I had a rather large circle of the stuff, I put it to my head, mimicking the scrubbing the thugs gave me long ago, doing the same with my beard as well.
Once I thought I got everything I put my head underwater, shaking it about to get the shampoo out. I patted my head, feeling still some of the stuff in it and repeating my rinsing until nothing was left. Once I was done I got out, shaking my whole body once the cool air hit my warm body not paying mind were the water went.

It didn't take long for me to get what I was looking for. Thankfully, everything I thought I would need could be found in town. I picked up some food for Thanatos. At the time I considered getting dog food, but that might just be mean. The razors, shaving cream, and other items were in abundance. They weren't hard to find either. I made my way home.
I could smell the soap and shampoo. Vampires have almost as good a smell as weres. Good. He'd figured it out. I went to the bathroom, and with a little annoyance, noticed how much of mess Thanatos had made. Water was everywhere.
"There are towels for a reason." I stated, moving to set my bags down on the sink. "Have you ever shaved before?" I knew It would be best to cut the beard down some, but I really didn't want to have to show him how to do everything.
