He couldn't imagine the torment she'd been through as she grew up learning the disgusting life and habits of a vampire, and accepting it as the norm. That's could be why his love for her always persevered over his contempt of the things she did. She simply didn't know any better.
His mind drifted again to a time long ago when she and he were in North Carolina, his home. It had been a few months since she had turned him. And she was teaching him how to survive. It's an unwritten law among the vampire, most are unwritten, not to turn someone and leave them to their own devises. To leave one alone would be creating a monster with no sense of how to act. How to stay under the radar of the humans. The would simply kill and feed with no regard for their own safety, nor any regard for who they fed on.
Another vampire had been destroyed. Some kind of war between separate vampry klans that had been going on for generations. This one lost a battle and had his head separated from his body. But not before turning a young collage student from Methodist Collage. This poor creature had only been a vampire less than 24 hours when it happened. She just learned what would satisfy her hunger and not much else.
Suddenly newspapers and TV started reporting on a rash of missing persons and bodies that were being found, completely drained of blood. Rumors of serial killers and cults began to circulate among the humans. The Fayetteville police were getting bombarded by people wanting something done. No one had a clue who could be doing it. But Serena knew. She knew there was a rogue vamp on the loose and if he wasn't stopped all of us would be discovered. The days of humans thinking of us as a myth would be over. And soon the humans would figure out how to wipe us out.
So Serena and Don set out to track her down. Wasn't hard, just follow the bodies. "She's gotten smarter at least." Serena said as he looked around the woods they were in trying to figure out where the foul odor was coming from. It was repulsive even to a vampire, and strong, so damned strong. But nothing around seemed to be it. "You smell it don't you?"
Don still looked about as he answered, "Yea. What the hell is that? there's nothing around here that could stink that bad."
"It's no where nearby. About a mile in that direction." She replied pointing to the southeast.
"Smells like something dead rotting. How can we smell it here from that far off?" He asked again.
"That's part of the gift. Your smell is far more acute than what you had as a human. Just as your hearing has become intensified. It would be stronger, but as I said, she's gotten smarter. She buried the body." Serena answered.
"O.K. I'll buy the increased smelling, but how the hell do you know the body is buried?" He asked sarcastically.
"I smell the fresh turned dirt. It's not from the farms either, too moldy, that earth was turned in the woods." She turned and started off in the direction she had pointed.
"Makes sense." He mumbled as he shrugged then followed her. They soon found the body. And the vamp wasn't far behind. He was prepared for that. But what they found... no one could have been prepared for.
