Challenge: 31halloween: prompt #23, goblet
Summary: [one-shot, 31halloween, prompt #23, goblet; Camula] Camula and her family share a toast, unaware of what the future holds in store for them.
Camula's hands wrapped around the stem of the goblet, tilting it back to let the warm blood within flow down her throat. Not quite as robust as when it came directly from someone's veins, but much easier to lift a toast with.
"To our family!" Vome lifted his cup, the movement echoed by Camula, her mother, and her siblings. "To the proud vampire race!"
Camula could not help a smile as she sipped once again. "To the vampires." Her heart beat faster at that. Surely there could be no greater honor in all the world than to belong to the vampires.
She caught her brother's eye as they both settled back into their chairs. Nayte's lips curved upward, a hint of mockery floating about his expression. She lifted an eyebrow; what thoughts wandered through his mind? He'd spent much time traveling lately and yet had spoken little of what he'd seen in the world.
I wonder if some human's caught his eye. It wouldn't be the first time a vampire chose to honor a human with their attentions. There were even rumors of children born of such unions, neither fully vampire nor truly human. Camula dismissed such thoughts. Her brother would be wiser than that.
She drained the last of the blood from her cup and gestured for a refill. Much work lay ahead of her. She would need all of her strength for that, and the more blood the better, be it from the veins of a vessel or not.
