I suppose my question is, were?the majority of vampires made by their own choice, or, was it simply something which happened to them? ?Helsing softly cleared his throat after asking his question, in other words, were the majority of them victims, or did many of them want this? He listened thoughtfully to her, then stated, there is something else here too which I have recently considered, though I regretfully did not consider it before. ?i¡¯m sure you know that, no small number of humans go out every year in the autumn and winter, into the forest to hunt venison; The animals have no idea that the humans are coming, save for the sense of smell, and even that can often??be hidden.

He paused to study her expression, giving her time to make any response which she chose to make, before continuing. ?we humans are at the top of the food chain, and have a definite advantage over the animals we choose to hunt, whatever animals those may be. They have the advantages of being in their own habitat, of the more acute senses, but we have our intelligence, as well as our weapons. There are those I am sure, who would say that we are wrong, or that those who hunt the animals are wrong for doing so, because they are taking lives, but most, feel that the animals are put here for food for us. ?there is a difference of coarse, but on a basic level, I asked myself how can I support the idea of humans killing animals for food, and condemn vampires doing the same thing. Not that I am for the killing of other humans, you understand, but to support one, to approve one and condemn the other, is perhaps the greatest wrong there is, wouldn¡¯t you agree? What are your thoughts on the matter? ? He would pause then, giving her time to respond with whatever answers, questions or comments she might have, before continuing.
?As far as killing those of You¡¯re kind, I suppose you could say that, is why I am trying to research and find a way to help those who wish to, to become humans again. I do not know what it will do to them, I do not know what age they will be, if any of this even works, I do not know how long they will live, once they are human. But it is a way to hopefully make up for having killed many of your kind.
He gave her a considering look when she spoke of being foolish enough to be sitting there. You still feel as if you put yourself at risk? Is there anyway you can simply not let all of them, know what you¡¯re doing? Is there a way perhaps to keep the secret away from other vampires? His eyebrows raised in definite ?interest.?
God loves you.
"Some of the vampires I mentioned who would kill
you would do it not because they are rabid beasts, but rather because you kill
their kind. They aren't...sitting well with that," The Italian said carefully.
"Much the same as you who kill our kind because they kill humans. It runs both
ways. Perhaps half of them are the way you see them, and the others not so much.
I do believe in survival of the fittest but I understand that many humans do not
feel this way even though they are usually at the top of that food chain ironic
though that is."

?
She chose not to respond to his kind concern
because it would be uncomfortable to explain, then, for some reason, changed her
mind in an instant.
?
"In truth it is because I am simply foolish enough
to be sitting here right now. I put myself at risk. Those same vampires who
would come for you because you kill their own would see me as a traitor though I
do not."
I'm friends with the monster that's under my
bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my
head.
