Anyway I'm almost done with chap 2 so it shouldn't be so long til the next update. unfortunatly there is no GSR in this chap or the next, but it will come, I promise.

Again I haven't gotten this betaed so all mistakes are mine.

PS: I forgot the disclaimer in this chapter and the previous, but I doubt anyone thought I owned anything, which I don't, so I'm not making any money.

Chapter 1

Catherine was drumming her fingers against the steering wheel of the Tahoe. She, Greg and Warrick had been assigned to a 419 at one of the bigger hotels, and the guys were sure taking their time getting to the car.

- Why do they always mark full moon in the calendar?

Greg sounded confused as he and Warrick got into the car.

- It's because earlier people believed that the full moon were the night of the undead, so then they stayed inside to avoid them.

Catherine answered without thinking. It was something Grissom had told her a long time ago. Where he knew it from she didn't know. Lindsey had taken a serious interest in vampire and werewolf myths so she had tried to check it out, but she hadn't found anything that supported Grissoms statement. There sure were things about werewolves, but nothing about the undead in general.

- Where did you hear that? I mean I've heard about werewolves, but nothing mentioning other undeads.

Warrick sounded seriously confused.

- I think Griss told me.

- Yeah, figures, that guy is a walking encyclopedia.

As they drove of to their crime scene they continued discussing calendar markings and undeads.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Oh come on, vampires do not exist. You can't seriously think that a vampire murdered all these people, David.

Nick's voice could be heard all the way down the corridor. It was clear that he was annoyed. As Catherine wondered what Nick was doing on her case she slammed into Sara, who just came out of the room. Neither of them had been paying attention to where they went.

- Sara, what's going on? What are you and Nick doing here?

- After you guys left, four more bodies were discovered at the scene so Griss assigned all of us onto it. All the bodies were found in different rooms, but the scenes look exactly the same so we think it's the same guy. We are at least treating it that way. And all the victims were females.

- Four more bodies, but that would make the body count…

- Seven…yeah we know. So Ecklie wanted the whole team on it and for once Grissom agreed with him, so here we all are… By the way, all the victims have four puncture wounds on their necks so David and Nick are discussing vampires, but I guess you guys heard that.

Even though Catherine didn't belive in the undead, she could see why David thought vampires, the moment she stepped into one of the rooms. The body was lying on the bed with four puncture wounds in her neck. She looked as if she had been sleeping when she was attacked. There were no signs of a struggle, but still the walls were covered in blood spatter.

David was crouching over the body taking its liver temperature. Nick was standing in the room looking rather pissed off.

- Ah, come on David, aliens and vampires. What's next? Werewolves?

- You guys got everything under control here?

Nick was in a really foul mode and Catherine was anxious to get out of the room. He wasn't nice to be with when he was angry.

- Yeah, why don't you go and help Sara with the next room.

- Ok, I'll do that.

When Catherine walked into the next-door room she almost walked strait into Sara again.

- He's mad. He's got to be mad to drink them dry.

- Aren't all serial killers mad?

- Huh?

Sara spun around on the spot. She was staring at Catherine like she had three heads.

- Listen Cath, most dangerous serial killers are mad, but here we are talking about a mad, serial killing vampire, and that's even more serious.

Catherine just stood there with her mouth agape. First David came with this ridiculous idea about vampires and now Sara sounded as if she believed it too. Not only did she talk about vampires, but mad vampires. Don't you have to be mad to drink someone's blood?

- Sara, what the hell are you talking about?

- I'm talking about this, Catherine. I'm talking about all the bodies that's lying around this hotel. I'm talking about the fact that a vampire murdered them all. A mad vampire, who believes that the only way to feed of humans is to drink their bodies dry of blood. I'm talking about the fact that this vampire aren't going to stop killing before he is murdered, and I'm the only one at the whole lab that knows that they actually exist.

Sara looked like she was about to burst into tears. Catherine immediately started to feel bad about her. She really wanted to make friends with Sara, but everything she tried always ended out wrong. When she took a step forward and hugged Sara tightly, she surprised both Sara and herself.

- Sara, what makes you so sure it's a vampire that killed them? I mean there is no proof that they even exist.

- I just know Cath. I know that they exist. I know that there exist vampires because my brother is one. And I know that normal vampires doesn't kill people, they just drink a bit of their blood, while they are asleep. It is only mad vampires that kill humans.

- Oh!

That was all Catherine could muster at Saras revelation. She was completely stunned. For some reason she was sure Sara was telling the truth. Sara had in one conversation managed to convince Catherine of something that she her whole life had put down to myths and superstition.

- Sara, I think we should talk to the others about this.

- You…you believe me?

Sara was staring at Catherine in disbelief.

- Yes, I do. Now we just have to convince the others. But judging by Nick's mood, that could be rather difficult.

- Yeah, I know, but I think Griss is still going to be the hardest. I mean we can't prove that vampires exist. We just know, and everyone knows that Gil Grissom needs proof before he believes in anything.

- Well, you are probably right. But I know what to do with that. For some reason Grissom has taken a week off, so I'm supervisor on this case, and you already had me convinced haven't you?

Sara's face lit up when this information registered with her brain. This was going to make things a lot easier for her.

- okey, now let's collect the evidence and then we'll take care of the guys when we get back to the lab.

Sara just nodded at this suggestion and got back to work. But no matter how hard she tried, her thoughts seemed to go back to Grissom and how he would react to her vampire theory. She decided that she would stop by his place after shift. For some reason she really needed to tell him.
