“I am a vampire. Blood does not bother me.”

“I am a vampire," I say softly. "And you have pissed me off.”

“As to blood—ah, blood, the whole subject fascinates me. I do like that as well, warm and dripping, when I am thirsty. And I am often thirsty.”

“I am a vampire, and that is the truth.”

“Why am I talking about all this? Who am I talking to? I send out these words, these thoughts, simply because it is time. Time for what, I do not know and it does not matter because it is what I want and that is always reason enough for me.”

“Love me...I am not evil.”

“It doesn't matter. You are what you are. I am what I am. We are the same-when you take the time to remember me.”
