For as long as we have existed, we have been protected by the idea that we were false, made up of bad dreams and twisted imaginations. We have survived for eons living in the secrecy of the shadows, tucked away from cognitive human society, though we have been the stuff of silver screens and bedtime stories read from horror novels. We have been worshiped and d**ned alike. We are the shades of this world, both present and not all at once, like the sliver of cold that slides up your spine in the dead of night, like the pair of eyes pinning you in the darkness...yet there is nobody there. We have walked amongst you in perfect oblivion under the veil of night, though we must flee to the underground once the sun rises. We have hunted and protected you.
Some see us as angels.
Others see us as devils.
Most thought of us as fiction...
...But somewhere along the line you wised up, didn't you?
Now, we suffer.
Where once we were many, now we are few and growing fewer still. The humans have known about us for decades now and their government has created a vaccine for the general population, not only to guard them against our bite but to destroy us as well: their goal is total genocide . We feed to survive and our sustenance is the mortals, but as the vaccine spreads, our choices become fewer and fewer.
Panic is beginning to spread and the control we once had of our baser natures is slipping as our food supply dwindles and our loved ones succumb to the trickery known as Nocturnus Dessimus...the Vampire Vaccine.
We are the last of our kind, the final stand of our breed, a coven of no more than 50 vampires.
We have vengeance in our blood and hunger in our hearts.
There is no more time to waste, and now it has come to this, the law of the animal kingdom:
Kill or be killed.
.Tainted.Blood.
