collect powerful Vampires because he can control them.” Draven was now very serious and sounded almost respectful to his lost friend.
    “So i f I met a Vampire he wouldn't be able to change me or another Demon....right ? ”
    “That's right. T hink about it, if they all had the power to change both humans and Demons th en the world would soon be over run. Considering they are immortal it would be very hard to stop them or to maintain control.”
    “So what about the other rumours, you know , garlic, stakes to the heart, sunlight , silver and feeding on humans.... that type of thing?”
    “Garlic no, but sunlight and silver , yes . B ut sunlight is the only weakness Lucius holds, although it does not kill him . He doesn't like t hese things because they are all a reminder of how he died as a human. So his memories of them got transferred into each one he turned , so therefore , it is now their weakness . But considering Lucius passed on despite these , it makes him immune to most cases . As for the feeding on humans I am afraid that part is true and not just for Vampires . ” I wasn’t surprised considering I hadn’t been frightened when Draven had bitten me during certain, breathtaking times, I had already guessed as much.
    “What about the spiking?”
    “Ah well , that is highly unlikely as it would have to be made by the same wood as the tree he was hung from and considering no one knows what type of tree it really was then you would have to be extremely lucky. Plus it wouldn't have to be in the heart, anywhere would do . ” Oh well I will keep that in mind. I couldn't help but giggle at the conversation we were having. Draven didn't seem to mind, I think he was just glad I wasn't screaming. I put my strange behaviour down to a coping mechanism.  
    “So they’re not dead then?”
    “No , they have an immortal host like usual Demons but where as most Angels and Demons outgrow their vessels. Vampires keep on to theirs because of the blood that regenerates them. The blood lust is down to wanting to be more powerful than the next. A lot of the time they feed on humans but do not need to kill them. Many have been bitten, drank from and then healed. Most don't even remember the act. It is a very sexual act and most pre fer to have sex with the living. You do , however , get rogue Vampires that kill and trust me when I say I have had to de al with more than a few of those in my time.” I could just pict ure him as a slayer but then he and Buffy popped in my head doing the bump and naughty so I q uickly pushed that far , far away.
    “What are thinking about?” He asked as I must have been staring at nothing. I usually did this when thinking hard about things.
    “I guess I am still confused as to why he would want me . ” This changed Draven so quickly it took me a moment to realise he wasn't still on the couch. His body was ridged and at first I thought he had heard danger, like when you see a dog ’ s ears go back when they know some things not right.
    “That is quite enough for today. You do not need to be worrying about some thing that I will not allow to happen. And besides this is supposed to be a date and I doubt it is customary to talk abou t so much death and destruction. ” I got up and put my arms around his neck, well tried to, but h e got the hint and when I inter locked my fingers he lifted his neck back up and me with it. He held my waist and when he went to kiss me , I moved my head back causing him to let out a disapproving groan. I was te asing him and he knew it from the big naughty grin that spread the width of my face. He tried again but I moved and with his hands still holding my wa ist he couldn't do anything about it.
    “You’re enjoying this , aren't you?”
    “Maybe, but you’re not I gather ? ” I was clearly making fun of him, which was hilarious in it own right.
    “Cocky now aren't we, what happened to that shy girl that used to flinch if I came too near or jumped if I
