"- I can smell your fear Mikaella, does this meeting terrify you so much?
- Well...yes I feel like a diseased dog that is being taken behind the shed to be shot...
- If I wanted to kill you I would do in front of the others as demonstration of authority.
- If you not planning to eliminate me why are you bringing me to this creepy ass garden? there was no better place for this meeting?
- I'm currently very irritated with the other coven members and if I dont get proper distance from them for at least a moment I will butcher everyone on that manor...they really angered me this time...
- You are angry because they made me a vampire, that's the reason?
- I specifically said to all of those clowns that only I can decide who is worthy of becoming a vampire! I'm the elder, I'm the coven leader, I'm the voice of reason! and when young vampires start embracing people without rime or reason chaos happens, and everyone dies in flames!
- well in my defense I didn't knew there was rules, they told me nothing before embracing me...
- Listen...your creation was done against my orders...however I'm willing to give you a chance of impressing me and keeping your new immortal life...
- I'm digging this immortality and all the powers the blood gave me so what can I do to impress you exactly?
- First I would you to know that I don't like humans very much, so you will be always automatically pissing me off.
- that's a bit unfair, can I at least know why you don't like humans?
- Humans are cursed by nature, creations of a forever starving god, your kin bring chaos and nihilism whenever you fester...perhamps the eternal blood can cure this, but I will need to observe you for some centuries to take any conclusions...
- Alright I see I'm stuck on an uphill battle for the foreseeable future ok...so I return to the question of: how I can please you?
- Well, understanding and agreeing with my ideologies is a good start...vampires who disagree with me dont last long.
- I dont have many strong opinions about anything...well except hating the new regime, does that pleases you? I killed some of their soldiers in my first night.
- thats a good start, yes, just listen to my lessons and internalize them I'm always preaching something you just need to pay attention.
- Alright I'm all ears my elder.
- Second point, don't be a stupid predator, don't hunt near our manor, always hunt on different districts and streets, make it harder for investigators and hunters to trace a pattern...and absolutely NEVER bring prey to our lair.
- but wouldn't be convenient to have living prey for us to consume at home?
- yes but this demands an immense logistical effort and preparation, we need proper holding cells with sanitary conditions to store prey, unless you like to feed on a diseased dude covered in their own shit and piss.
- Oh...yes I get it now...
- Not to mention that bringing a whole living person here draws attention and if they escape the hideout is completely compromised and we will need to leave in a hurry.
- Ok but aren't we invincible? cant we just keep killing anyone who attacks our hideout? we surely can kill the cops even the army!
- Theoretically yes, their mundane firearms are fairly ineffective against us...however if they know where we are they will keep coming with bigger and bigger guns, your body can shrug a shotgun slug or a rifle bullet...but you wont be this cocky when they bring artilery with white phosphor rounds...and this is just the regular mortals...hunters can be way way more dangerous...
- can you tell more about these hunters?
- well yes, but first I'm getting peckish and I thirsting to kill someone, lets go to the city, I want to see how good you are at hunting, if you snag some good blood for us I will give you more vampire survival lessons and maybe you will survive long enough to impress me...
- well if this pleases you, I'm up to the challenge!
- I'm starting to like your attitude...yes...yes..."

another slice of life but I'm not super proud of this one >wo
