Chapter 4

I’m not sure on the complete context of vampires, I haven’t been one long enough to find out how the rest of them live their lives. All I can say is that things are pretty quiet in my neck of the woods, no pun intended. I honestly haven’t met another vampire here, nor have I run into the one who’s changed me. I’m guessing I’ll meet whoever this mystery vampire is, but I have a feeling it’s not anytime soon. Before I changed, there were very seldom attacks on my family. We live in such a remote place that anything supernatural is just so few and far between. That’s why I like it here, the less commotion, and the better. I guess one could say I was a witch in hiding. When a supernatural being stumbled upon me, they were given an ultimatum, leave town or be exterminated. Some were rather difficult and chose the more destructive paths, while others just let me be. It really depended on whether or not the creature felt they could take me in battle. The ones who stayed to fight usually lost.

Most of the creatures that stayed to fight were rather new to the whole supernatural being thing, which just made them easier to extinguish. They were often clumsy, arrogant and unskilled. Being so easily tricked is not a good thing when they are fighting a witch, because witches are very clever and can outsmart a large genre of opponents. Only the newest creatures were dumb enough to try and take them on. Since I’ve changed, I’ve been pretty much off the radar. It’s hard to detect a hybrid. Even the most powerful devices go haywire because they don’t know what they’re tracking.

Our scent is a lot different too; we can easily blend in with a regular human because we don’t have a distinctive scent. It makes it easier to avoid making enemies based on stereotypes. Some creatures are superficial and prejudice against other creatures for some reason. I haven’t figured it out but I guess that’s more I have to learn. For the most part I know that the stereotype of vampires and werewolves is a myth. They usually work together and often live under the same roof to protect each other.

Werewolves also aren’t cursed by a full moon, they can control their transformations. I made friends with a few werewolves back when I was just a witch. They were passing through and stopped in town for a breather and some rabbits. I do apologize, I find myself rambling on about all of this. It’s all still very new to me, well the vampire aspect of it to say the least, and I find every second of it fascinating.
