¡°my¡, Pet?¡± ? Van Helsing gave Klaus A surprised, questioning look, before shooting a more sympathetic look to Natari. ?¡°no sir, believe me, I would never consider anyone as wondrous as she, or any of you for that matter, as a mirror pet; I shall take your term as humorous, but I would definitely much rather call her, and the lot of you, friends.¡± ? Since he had first met Natari, ?and she had helped him with his rather unusual patient, and had amazed him by showing him that she could safely wear a cross, the doctor had been forced to admit, if only to himself, that his opinions about vampires were slowly changing. ? ¡° this is as interesting to me as, perhaps, my lab and other scientific endeavors are interesting to you; I am rather enjoying learning these facts and idiosyncrasies about your kind, both your kinds,¡± he amended. ? ?He looked amazed at the assertion of the fact about a bite from a werewolf being deadly to one kind of vampire, while another kind could dominate the creatures. ?¡° truly? So, you¡¯re kind¡, Could be killed by a werewolf, while, you¡¯re kind, can dominate them? How interesting.¡± ?He favored Valerie and Klaus ? When speaking of being killed by the creatures, then shifted his gaze toward Natari when speaking of dominating them. ?He listened as ?Natari spoke of her kind dominating werewolves. Regarding them with a seemingly endless curiosity, he inquired, ¡° have you any idea why this is? I must admit I had always thought of vampires as being all the same, but, after all, we mortal human beings are quite different in many ways, so the assumption that all vampires or any other creatures for that matter, would be all alike, is¡, erroneous??at best.¡±. He was the sort of fellow who could be very opinionated about something when he believe he was truly right, yet had no problem changing his mind, and admitting when he was wrong, once showed different. ?¡° there are, after all, humans who are considered saints, and humans who are well known as criminals; most of us, fall somewhere in between, so I believe it is safe to assume that such is also true of other kinds. There are those of you, those of your kind rather, who killed for the thrill of killing, for whatever disgusting type of Joy or justice?they get from it, but I suspect that most of you do it to feed your hunger, thereby ensuring your survival.¡± ?He now wondered to himself how he could have reasonably felt justified in hunting down and killing every¡, Vampire. How could I have reasonably considered them all estranged from God, when God loves all? He wondered this to himself, allowing the question to roll around in his mind. ?¡° perhaps I have done a grievous disservice to my own religion in thinking that God is such a finite being as to only extend his love to humans, yes?¡± ?He glanced around at the others, including Amara, not wishing to exclude her from the conversation in the least, waiting to see what their take on all of this would be.????
God loves you.
