"I never knew so young a body with so old a head." - Shakespeare
********************
Human nature is a very selfish thing. As individuals, humans focus on
their needs and wants primarily.
Love. Food. Shelter. Friendship.
The same thing applies to my people. And what are my people, you ask?
Vampire.
The creature of myth and legend. A being both sensual and deadly,
intriguing yet terrifying.
We feel. If pricked, we bleed - although we'd rather be doing the
pricking.
We are a selfish people. We collect items acros the centuries and
guard them carefully. Most of all though, we are selfish about our
lusts. By nature we enjoy the pleasures of the body. Heightened
senses allow for heightened pleasure, an advantage well enjoyed.
And once in a while our sight settles on a human being. Nothing
extraordinary necessarily catches our eye. In fact, it is usually the
simplicity and normalacy of their life that makes us stop and notice.
I am the king of my people. The strongest, the most cunning. I
beckon and someone answers. In some cases, I beckon and someone dies.
Yet a simple mortal woman has caught my eye. Of face and form she is
beautiful, but that beauty is more than skin deep. Oh, she isn't
entirely pure and altruistic, but her desire to achieve that has made
me stop and take note.
So I have decided that I want this woman.
And what I want, I get.

Oopsies...accidently skipped the prologue! Silly me! Oh well, I've read it now and that's what counts! Now I won't be surprised when someone turns out to be a vampire! 
That would've been funny if I hadn't read this part of the story when you revealed that...it would have confoozled me beyond reason!
