The thought of a human being able to wear a clan ring was proposterous. The rings bind to a vampire’s being which thus binds them to their position within their status’. For Anya to have one, was something that illuded Vala so deeply that the only explanation was the broken bloodline. However, there has never been any evidence that humans shared the genetic mutations as vampires did nor has there ever been a case where a damphyr has been born showing know vampiric traits. Vampires are able to sense their by sheer feeling, but around Anya there is nothing. There is no chemistry, no draw, no distinctive smell in her blood that separates her from any other living being in that hostpital. If she was a damphyr then something strange broke the genetic mutation in the woumb, something he would have to pry to find. It was awkward to think that someone he had literally just met was playing such a key role in his research. Up until now the beleif was that the breaking of bloodlines was caused by the rejected vampires causing havok in society, but now it seems another case has closed in. If Anya was in fact a damphyr then she was signed by blood to a clan, and the ring she wore clearly signified her status as a Supreme Bloodline Descendant…

Vala put down his books and held his head to his knees. It had been 48 hours since he last fed. With his sudden transfer it took him awhile to gain access to the bloodbank and figure out when the proper time to slip in unnoticed would be. He certainly was not like many vampires as the Oath of Faulter was more of a death sentence to most. Normally feeding in silence he made his way to his quarters, sitting with the aroma of candles engulfing him. The iv was pricked into his veins and he waited. His eyes dark as coal. The feeling of feeding was close to that of a severe addiction. It was as if he came close to overdosing on pain killers, but at the same time their effects were so relaxing he couldn’t concentrate or remember anything. No sound could be heard, not sight could be seen, and not even the slightest thought could wedges itself into his mind. It was bliss, yet horrifying to think when he was still human and tbone steak would have probably sufficed him.


His phone rang. It wasn’t took long after his feeding had finished, but close enough he was still trying to recollect. The cheif of police called frantically about a crime scene close to the woods. His expertise were quickly needed to examine the body. As he approached the crime seen he could already make out a massive crowd of people. Despite the commotion he made his way through to meet with the cheif of police who immedietley began rambling on the situation. A couple had been going for a walk when she ran off jokingly hoping the man would follow, but she turned back after noticing he didn’t, and upon her back tracks she came across the body. “Is she the only one who has seen it, besides our people,” Vala questioned, trying to gain some light on the media’s involvement. “No, just us. We are working on getting this mess cleaned up as soon as possible before anyone else does arrive. I am having the body moved to the morgue a.s.a.p. where the your consultant can let you in. She should be being called right this minute.”



Anya had just fallen asleep. Thirteen hour shifts were no friend of the E.R. and especially not of hers. She rolled over and heard a buzzing in her ears. Her pager had gone off. Throwing the covers off of her, she crawled out of bed dazed and aloof. Her phone in hand she called the return number. “Are you kidding me,” she yawned, “Another one? That is three in the past two nights. I’m on my way..,” she huffed, throwing the phone in her bag.


She through on some clothes and rushed out of her apartment building. When they said get their stat they mean right away and since Anya did not own a car, she moved close by the hostpital. Jogging was much more ecofriendly to her anyway. Though perhaps her idea of jogging at 1:23 in the morning was not the best ideas. “Hey hey hey, slow down pretty lady, what’s your rush?” A raspy voice echoed from her side. She stopped, rubbing her eyes. A small group had quickly enveloped her and a chill quickened in her spine. “E-excuse me..” she said, trying to push her way through.


A blonde woman blocked her path, her laughter cruel and cold and even taunting at the same time. Anya through her hands at her side and asked them again to move, but the man infront of her, laughed heavily with his auntorage and reached out to grab her.


Sirens. Red, Blue, and White lights bounced off the buildings and faces of the party and a noticable voice echoed. “Anya, get in the car.” She looked up seeing the pack of people had turned to look in the direction of the person talking and Anya backed away to the side of the Police car. “Break it up Rohal’s.” He said. He being Vala who magically was in the right place at the right time. He got in the car and slammed his door shut, his face strict and yet concerned. “Next time call a taxi, they run this late.” He jerked the car in gear and sped out of the parking lot, his lights flashing. “A person was just killed wondering around like you. Do you want to end up like them?” “Don’t scrutinize me,” she rasped, her voice still scarred from the event.


Vala pulled up the the hostpital and let Anya out and parking the police car. He walked around the vehicle and entered the building himself. In the morgue, the sterile countertops made Vala sick. He had seen this so many time, and been on these cold tables himself before he turned. It was a memorable event, but not in a pleasing way by any means. Now he had to examin the body up close and hopefully be able to..”suck” the memories from the corpse’s remains.
