New Dark Moon:

Simone’s Notes:

The causes of vampiric generation were many and varied in original folklore. In Slavic and Chinese traditions, any corpse that was jumped over by an animal, particularly a dog or a cat, was feared to become one of the undead. A body with a wound that had not been treated with boiling water was also at risk. In Russian folklore, vampires were said to have once been witches or people who had rebelled against the Russian Orthodox Church while they were alive.

The first light of morning brought blood. The Fallen Ones began their hunt.

First Drop of Blood:

Little Iris found herself a nice fifteen-year-old. A clueless youth walking home from school. He made for an inside target for the first day of the hunt. It didn’t really take much either. Only batting her eyelashes and a kiss and he fell right into her trap. He’s been missing for three days now.

Second Drop of Blood:

Mayuka looked so child-like and sweet. Worked perfectly in her favor. Many men wanted to her because her innocent charm. She sold them all so well. How could they say no? Mayuka charmed it all out of them. Some of them were married and a small number had children. But, she didn’t care. Eight men have been missing for six days now.

Third Drop of Blood:

Victoria needed some new patients. Her old pets were fun and all, but she just needed some new blood. Maybe a bit younger. Time to head down to the local hospital. She pretended to be a volunteer in a children’s ward for the day. She found a whole shop-full of new pets. The whole ward had been missing for four days now.

Fourth Drop of Blood:

Doctor Pierce had the same idea as Victoria. Only, he wanted something much older. The teenagers were more into his thing. He too went to the same hospital for the patients. It felt like the good old days to him. But, no time to get all emotional. He had work to do. By the end of the day, sixty-one teenaged-patients had been missing for eight days.

Fifth Drop of Blood:

Mya did her hunt at night. Much more choices that way. Where to go from that train of that? The nightclubs, of course. So, she got dressed in her sexy best and hit the city. Mya hung out at the bar and let her own body do all of the work. Many victims got a good look at her. They chatted her up and bought her drinks. She happily took it all in. Twenty-one males have been missing for nine days.

Sixth Drop of Blood:

Azrael didn’t really care. Meat was meat to him. He was just happy for the hunt. Now, where to start his conquest? Red Light District? Nah, too generic. A school? Meh, worth a shot. But, didn’t go for the schoolgirls, too young for him. No, the man went straight for the teachers. Within the first day, ten teachers were missing for twelve days.

Seventh Drop of Blood:

Edward had just gotten into the hunt. To be honest, he found himself busy with something—or rather someone else. Alex had a new friend named Toby. However, it started to head towards a crush. Edward did not want that. He wanted Alex all to himself. So, the incubus alchemist set out to alleviate the problem himself. He counted down to bloodshed in his brain.

Eighth Drop of Blood:

Manami counted up the new pets. She smirked at the rich produce. Not bad for a first day’s hunt. Now to really kick things off!
