Some say all vampires are the same.
are we? no, but we are alike in the sense we need blood to survive.

Without blood our bodies cannot be sustained.
just as a dead body locks up, ours would do the same.

This is where the different types of feeding come in.
those who take blood to sustain oneself.
those who take blood to sustain oneself and kill for the pure fun of it, also known as Greed Vampires.

these two groups if you will cause fights and wars within, it has been this way sense the first vampires.

the different types of vampires are more than just their feeding habits.

pure bloods are vampires descended from the first vampires by the way of birth.
contrary to popular belief vampires can have children, however not in the typical way.

in order for a vampire to have a child they must give their blood to a pregnant human female, allowing her to drink.
this is usually done when the female is just days from delivery.
the baby is then birthed and given the vampire sires blood.

dont get me wrong this may be considered barbaric and way back when perhaps it was, but now a days in the 1980's the pregnant female is changed after and only with consent.

Now because of this a vampire male can have many wives but only one mate.
a vampires wife is a turned vampire who takes care of the new pure vampire.
any children are half-siblings and grow together if close to the same age.
although a sire may sleep with these wives it is only until a mate is found.
a vampires mate is only ever one person.
i say person because sometimes this can be a human or any type of vampire.
once found a vampire will never sleep with another, male vampires can be possessive and many times a mate will not be without of ear shot or eye sight.

a pure vampire child is given the sire's blood until they come of age at eighteen.
pure vampires age just like humans but they never scar or have any abnormalities.
at eighteen a vampire can eat human food and may make their own clan by either by having their own pure vampire or by turning humans.

this brings me to the second type of vampire, the turned vampire.

Turned vampires are those who drink from a pure vampire's blood and have then drank a humans blood after.
not as strong as pure vampires and not as many sharp teeth this vampire is most common today.

a turned vampire who tries to make a child the pure blood method will only ever make a half-vampire.
half-vampires created this way are called daywalkers and are frowned upon in the vampire clans.
these half vampires can go in the light and age as humans do but these are the only human trait they will get.

true half-vampires are those who have drank from a pure vampire or a turned vampire but have not drank from a human completing the process to become a turned vampire. These are called true halfs and still age as humans do. they will often still drink from the vampire who turned them, some even can be sustained by animal blood. Half-vampires, daywalkers and true halfs, are the only vampires that can do this. half-vampires commonly go into rages where Human or animal Blood may drive them into a point where a vampire cannot control oneself and the thirst then takes over.

a human who drinks from a turned vampire will become a turned vampire but the thirst is consuming, they have to drink more blood to be sustained, these are often greed vampires who over kill and are then killed by hunters or other vampires.

After knowing all this you probably want to know what i am right?

I am a pure vampire who only drinks to sustain myself and a couple half-vampires in my family.
i was taught this way from my Sire, my father, a direct descendent of the first vampires.
My father only ever had two children, my brother Leon, and Me, Cameo.

at the time of our births the mothers were not given the option to survive. I was raised with my older brother by both him and my sire.

Our sire is now dead and at the time my brother was of age to create his own clan.
Clans often have a pecking order and at the tip is Leon, then me.
As his sister, by pure blood, i am just below if not equal to Leon.
I help make decisions for the good of the clan and i may turn humans.

vampires under my brother cannot turn humans without consent from my brother or me.
this is for the purpose of keeping the vampire population lower by half, or less, than humans.
humans may be our food source but we are not greed vampires, we do not think of humans as cattle.

Many clans but heads because of feeding habits and vampire clans will have territory they can feed and live from. our clan is a wandering one and we go from place to place regularly. this is only until we find a place to call home.

Wandering clans often will find trouble and depending on the vampire clan they run into blood can be spilt.
We wander not to take over a vampires territory but to feed and move on.
this allows me to meet many vampires some good, some evil but i have my family to make it through.

My family, my clan, consists of five vampire males including Leon and five vampire females including me.
we also have two true half vampires with us to.

Under Leon is Me, then Damian with his mate Tina, after him is Cade Tina's brother. Next is Aiden with Natalie our other mated pair. then Luke, Avery, and Anna. followed by Abby and Taten.

Besides Damian being a pure vampire everyone else is a turned vampire, well besides Abby and Taten they are true halves.
Abby is the second youngest at eighteen and Taten is nine.
Abby will choose to become a turned vampire once she turns nineteen, weather she turns or says a true half at twenty she will then choose to stay with our clan or go her own way.

the way our clan sees it is that we don't turn those under 18 without a cause.
at eighteen they can chose to become a turned vampire but they must live as a true half for a year before doing so.
once twenty they are considered an adult to us and can make life choices.

Taten was one of those ' don't turn those under 18 without a cause' situations.
and even though Abby was eighteen she had not been a true half vampire for a full year so when she is 19 she can choose to turn fully.

Tonight we are in Santa Carla to talk to the head vampire about letting us stay and feed before we keep moving.
