A/N: I got this one out a bit faster; aren't you happy with me? I own nothing.
(A/N [7/6/11]: Again this is revision of the original chapter. I do not own Vampire Kisses nor do I own "People Are Strange" by Echo & the Bunnymen.

People Are Strange
Raven POV
I stood next to my favorite vampire as we received the puzzling news of this strange new town.
"Yeah, don't go out at night in Morganville 'cause you're a walking Happy-Meal for these leeches," Eve remarked smileing up at Michael. "Just a question, but do you come with your own supply of blood or do you need us to find a vein for you to tap? If you do you're out of luck; I don't think the Blood Bank gives freebies."
"Blood Bank"…woah, that sounds gruesome. I guess these guys don't drink Romanian smoothies. " Um, I assume this Blood Bank isn't affiliated with the Red Cross."
Shane retorted, "It's a horrible way to pay your taxes."
"Shane, it is not that bad," Claire shot back.
Taxes… in blood?
"So how many are there? Vampires, I mean." Alexander asked.
"Umm- I don't know- a lot, I guess…," The blonde vampire said reluctantly. "It's kind of hard to keep track when there's so many in one place."
"Wait, we need a few more details here. Explain, please." I implored.
Shane POV
More vampires, really? I already have to deal with bloodsucker Michael-but I 'kinda have to put up with him because he's my buddy. These people-they're strangers- I just don't know why we got stuck with these guys.
"Do you know about the Disease? Have you been treated?" Claire asked. The two new-comers looked really confused.
"Okay," Claire continued, "I guess you don't. You must have been changed over recently. It's where—"
"Hold it! I was born a vampire," The guy, Alexander, interrupted.
Okay, now I'm the one who is confused.
"That isn't possible!" Michael exclaimed.
Raven argued. "Well, obviously it is; both of his parents and most of his family are vampires."
"Amelie did say that they are a "different" kind of vampire…" Claire added.
(A/N [7/6/11]: Oooh, cruddy ending sorry {:P})
