So you do not feed?two, or three times a day, or I should say rather, two or three times a night then, Helsing remarked, glancing away in hopes of hiding a look of relief. If it were humans actually killing to feed, they would likely kill too many too soon, and be discovered. ?He had the strange feeling that he had likely not succeeded in hiding his look of?relief, though he had every intention of doing so. Those heightened senses of her¡®s, probably meant that she saw it, despite his attempts to conceal it.
A slight frown touched his expression when she spoke of humans killing their own, and losing their lives in so many ways. Yes it is quite tragic, all tragedies in their own right. A pity that mankind chooses to waste life so freely and so readily. ?Perhaps that, is the greatest tragedy of all, yet I fear that many of those same humans, would despise your kind for killing simply to feed; now that I really look at it, it somehow doesn¡¯t seem right. ?He nodded when she said that many of her kind would hunt him down, simply for hunting vampires, no matter what his reason might be. I suppose it would serve me right, in a??way, since I myself, used to be one of those humans not so very long ago. ?Believe me, my friend, I shall take every precaution that I can, but other than that, I can only trust that, that God will take care of me, and when it is my time, well then it is my time, and be it??according to his, will.
He smiled and nodded when she expressed her sincere appreciation for re-copying his notes. As do I, appreciate you, for taking the time and the risk, to sit and talk with me about these things. I must say though, I am surprised, I would¡¯ve thought most of your kind would not take to the city life, choosing instead to live in the more remote areas. But you say that you are a city girl. That is interesting indeed, most interesting.
He paused to make notes on these various facts, before asking, roughly about how many of your kind exist? That is, if you can give me a fair estimate. ?my next question may prove to be even more difficult; out of these, how many would you guess would actually be interested in becoming human again? I ask because, if I do manage to come up with some sort of a potion for the cure, I would need to know roughly about how much to make.
He suddenly became aware that he too, was taking a risk. He did not voice that he was taking a risk, instead choosing to say, it¡, Might take longer than either of us would like. Usually when I am working on something, I can confer?with other scientists on the subject. But with this, I may prove to be mainly working alone, not really sure of others that I can ask. He realized that not only would some vampires seek to kill him, but some humans, might also want to kill him, for wanting to help the vampires. For the first time, Van Helsing realized that he was truly putting himself in the middle, between two strongly opposing forces, and yet he felt that the only way he could go forward; despite all of this, I have to try, it¡¯s the least I can do for, for a friend. His eyes showed extreme trust, as he looked at Natari, knowing full well what she could have done, but was consistently choosing, not, to do. And even if one of her kind, or one of the opposing humans, did end?his life at some point, he knew that, according to his faith, he would not be the first to make a sacrifice of his life, for the greater good.
He gave a considering nod when she mentioned some vampires snacking, but never really getting full. That¡, Could work I suppose, but I also think it might have some adverse consequences later on down the road, at least, it would for humankind.?
