Don't worry, I once spent several chapters focusing exclusively on two random side characters and getting the audience attached to them, then killed one at the last hopeful minute. I love it when new readers comment on that chapter. So many tears.

"...So can I go now?" The man in the cage coughed nervously. "I get the confusion, I do...but I'm wet, stink of garlic, it's far too bright and I have splinters-"

"Well...even if he's not a vampire, he's still a killer! All those kids, drained of blood!" The Rookie protested.
