Title : White Collar Character : Neal Caffery Summary : Neal's first transformation as a vampire. Pre-series Author's Note : This fills my first transformation fill in Hurt/comfort card.
Vampires are not fictitious creatures. There are close to 10,000 vampires in the US alone. We enjoy our secrecy and have a strict hierarchy in our society. Vampires have been hunted and prosecuted for centuries. The common misconceptions have not helped. The most common ones about the vampire are that we are immortal, we drain blood from the victim until they died and we averse to sunlight. We do drink human or animal blood. Most victims were perfectly okay after the encounter. We ensure the victims do not remember the meeting and heal the bite mark.
We modernized after blood banks came along. The nifty blood bags were convenient and could be stored easily and were safer for our anonymity. The added advantage is that blood banks screened the blood as we can get sick from tainted blood. Vampires have different preferences, some preferred animal blood, some a particular blood group instead. We are generally agile, fast, and flexible. We usually recover quickly from an injury. A pint of blood can help when we are sick. Our canine teeth are sharper jut out when we transform.
With the Covid-19 scare India has gone into a 21 day complete lock-down. This has been gradual we were hoping things would ease by the 31st. Supply of essentials have been hit hopefully there will be no riots for supply. Official cases have inched toward 551 with 9 deaths. The news, social media, and whatsapp messages have been mostly centered around COVID-19. The constant barrage of mostly terrible news has been exhausting. I can only imagine how people in countries like Spain and Italy have been fairing with so many deaths. How are things in your country? Virtual hugs to all my friends out there
