Chapter 14 Vampires
A beast unlike any other, the vampire is an apex predator that hunger for blood like no other. For centuries humans have lived in fear of this creature that can infiltrate their villages and kill without mercy. The truly terrifying fact of vampires is that they could be anyone, your beloved neighbor, your closest friend, your child could all be turned in to a deadly and bloodthirsty monster. They could be killed and reborn into an undead abomination. An abomination who's needs nothing to live than the blood of the living.
A vampire is no longer the human or any race you or I would recognize it is an evil undead creature that prays on the living. These beasts of the night have the ability to change its shape to several repulsing creatures such as bats, wolves and even a cloud of mist. A person hunting a vampire should always be aware of any creature in their close vicinity.
A vampire does also have the ability to revert into mist if it is brought close to death. This ability has contributed to a vampire's terrify reputation as an unkillable monster.
Whether or not a vampire is truly unkillable is unclear. Many a knight or hero have claimed to have killed such a beast. Most of these individuals have no substantial proof to prove their claims. A vampire does have the ability to heal itself to some degree. In most cases, they heal rather quickly and seemingly with no physical repercussions to itself. Most people who have lived to tell their tales of vampires have claimed that the beast was nearly unstoppable and seemed to take joy in prolonging the torment of its prey. Any damage that was done to the monster was quickly undone by the beasts incredible regeneration. And if any was able to injure the beast to near death the creature would merely turn to mist before a final blow was struck.
Many who come face to face with a vampire claims that it was able to touch their minds. They were swayed into allowing the creature to bite them or persuade them to act in manners and acts they would never agree to. This is yet another frightening characteristic that the vampire poses. To many, this ability to touch the mind of another and charm them is more terrifying than they vampires claws and fangs. Scarier than the bloody and deadly bite. A bite that is capable of turning someone into another undead monster.
