@raven1 Do blood slaves acquire heighten sensory abilities with longevity? Some do, it depends on the intensity of the 'relationship', of how much of the vampire's saliva is released into the body and how much blood they're allowed to drink. This is an interesting question and I thought about this quite a while when I wrote about this part of a vampire-human relationship. The fact that they are helping Kaven and Konstantin at the risk of their own lives is very impressive. Konstantin was their former legate and they are still loyal to him, they transfer some of this loyalty to Kavan. I loved how the group has outsmarted the bitch and her minions I had tons of fun writing this. I patiently await the revolution that will change the Night Clan and get rid of the creeps in power. Maybe..... Thank you for the question and sharing your thoughts, Terry.

@Geemeedee I’m really liking Team Double K (Kontastin-Kavan)! Their friendship circle is pretty rad. I' m glad you think so, it's important for the story. Your questions: 1) That will be revealed in a later chapter. 2) Sorry, I can't answer yet, but it's a pretty good question. 3) Doc instantly speculated it might have something to do with Kavan feeding him. He is Konstantin’s Childe, his blood has to be powerful, even if he isn’t a full vampire yet because his sire is old and powerful and the relation between sire and Childe is always special. 4) Kon-STAN-tin 5) Yeah, sorry about that, the chapter was already getting too long. Thank you for this great comment and the questions, Gee.

That's really important. Kavan has already friends.

The kitchen had always been a favorite room of mine. On the weekends when Mom was home, she would cook a big breakfast with everything you can think of, and some things one would probably never consider for breakfast, at least if you’re an egg, bacon, or muffin type. We had changua, an egg, cheese, and milk soup from Colombia, or cornmeal and bean cakes from Nigeria. We all sat around the huge table and talked for hours about people we met, discussed future plans, our life choices, and sometimes

Tease.

I admit the light bulb has been a little slow, early LED maybe. To say good-bye with a smile is a good bye. I don't think I will ever get over green crocs and hairy socks. Thank you for this.

OMG I was so shocked when Marshall removed the paint! I had an entire different story in my head and thought this outcome was impossible now. Well done, Val, really well done, perfect. I absolutely enjoyed this story.

Maybe you could place a at the beginning of the story? But because it was you who wrote it, in the end I could Thank you for this great story, Gary. You were right, you're back.

What about mirrors too? Nah, that is totally wrong, How could they put on all those fancy clothes correctly without a mirror? There will be more questions answered, for example: Do vampires have kitchens? Can vampires drink something else beside blood? Lots of more questions......

Cozy mystery indeed. I love it!

What? Wolfie just drinks a little water after eating a tasty morsel.

Thank you for giving the story a try, Terry. I would hate to tell you which fictional character she reminds me of. Now I'm curious. I'm glad you're planning to read the next chapters.

@CincyKris Your 2nd chapter instincts are very good no more. I'm glad you like the story so far Kris, thank you for your sharing your instincts. I'm always so curious to find out what my readers think.

I live to surprise my readers, hopefully it will work for the other chapters too.

This speaks for Doc's method of...let's say imprinting young vampires on their sire. There might be already a hint even in this chapter. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and guesses, scrubber. Love it.

Seven days later, they let me leave Doc’s newborn vamp ward, which they’d put in the basement of the Night Clan’s main house. How did Doc explain the reason to me so very succinctly again? Ah, yes. “Because sunlight causes insta-death to vampires, at least to the very young.” Something those book authors, storytellers, and moviemakers apparently got right. Of course, my overactive brain provided dozens of follow-up questions my stupid mouth instantly asked. “What about garlic? And silver, and ho

Well, I learned a lot: Who is Vanna White? What's the difference between a Chinese Crested and a King Charles Spaniel (both are Wolf snacks)? What the f*** is HOA? Now I know. I wanted to slap Mark, then Nolan, then Jensen, then Nolan again, then Jensen....with other words I feel thoroughly entertained, thank you for this.

Yep, that's what she meant.

I'm in awe when this happens when you didn't exactly mean to write these, and you're distracted with other things. I love ... lending one’s poetry lyrical levity.

...making us share our special day with them.... made me grin. I absolutely understand the conclusion: We merely spent the entire evening alone and it was absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing, Bill.

Thank you for the who is who at the beginning and on the way, otherwise I'd been utterly lost. Whew! To summarize this, and I know you like short and concise texts, right? I'd say romantic, with lots of sass, a little chaos and a touch of Tal Bauer. I really enjoyed your story, Carlos.

I read your essay first, but I couldn't comment on it, because I felt overwhelmed by the truth and how many parts resonated with me. One sentece stayed with me: Because it gave me my label. Because I could now make sense of my world. Thank you for sharing, northie and this isn't a mere phrase.

Thank YOU for reading and taking the time to comment, Leo.

Thank you, Gary.
