It's been two years since the Purge. The humans have eradicated most of the vampire species and teamed up with the Lyans. Lucian has convinced them that Lycans and Lycans alone can live in peace with the humans as long as vampires no longer exist.
The remains of the vampire population are located under the streets in London. We feed on rats, mostly. Staying almost 24/7 underground. If we make an appearance above ground, it must be in 'normal' clothing and if we're spotted, the Lycans will surely devour us.
It is up to us to save the future of not only vampires, but the humans as well.
Sitting on my bunk I'm thinking about the recent events. One of the vampire elders was captured by Lycans. Victor. Marcus is left to rule over the underground vampire society alone. We have no doubt that Victor will keep us a secret, but for how long?
"Selene, we need to do something.", Michael said, bumping me out of my thoughts.
"Yes, I know, but what can we do? The two of us against the entire human and Lycan population?", I said, "I'm afraid there's nothing we can do."
Sooner, or later we'd be found out. It was only a matter of time we have to make an effort to survive. I hurried down the damp corridors to the elder's throne room. I entered.
I kneeled down, Marcus motioned for me to speak.
"As you know, we are in grave danger.", I began, "I have course of action."
He giggled.
"You? A meer child vampire? Have a course of action to save our race? Speak your mind my child."
"We need to become immune to our main enemy. Sunlight.", I said and I knew I had his attention.
I hurried to the armory where Jamie was working on old weapons. I needed UV rounds.
"What do you want with UV rounds?", she asked suspiciously.
"I don't actually need the bullets, I need what's inside them. We're beginning tests to try and make our kind immune to sunlight.", I said.
She looked at me, thinking over my explanation.
"Fine. Meet me back here in an hour."
When I returned Jamie had prepared for me a crate full of IV bags, filled with the glowing, UV liquid. Time for testing.
"Are you sure this will work?", Marcus asked.
"The humans have used this for centuries. Low doses of a bad thing, build immunity.", I assured him.
The test vampires were all readily waiting in their chairs, IV lines secured in their forearms. I gave the signal and 10 CCs of UV serum dripped through the lines and into their veins. Screams came out of them. It burned them, from the inside out, once the dose was injected the drip was stopped and in a few minutes they were all fine.
Day after day the subjects were injected with the same amount of UV serum and each day the pain was less intense. By day twenty, none of the subjects flinched. Now it was time for the big test. UV light rays.
A room was lit with several Ultra Violet lamps and the subjects walked in. Slowly, they wandered around the room, no one showed any sign of being in pain. My idea was a success. Vampires can become immune to sunlight.
