It was noon in the square outside of the great cathedral in Santiago De Compostela. Kaol spun around and around marvelling at the overblown Gothic architecture. He could feel the laughter bubbling up from within, a deep well capped only with difficulty. He moved to sit in the shade of one of the many crosses and felt once again the life pulsing through his veins. An abundance of life. A surfeit of joy, the kind known only to the followers of truth and light. No room for darkness in his soul, only love and a complete absence of any bloodlust.
Casting his eye around the square his gaze lit upon something that set his thoughts soaring. Could it be? After all the years of searching? Of yearning? Of needing? A lidded basket unattended with a note pinned to it. He strolled over on a nonchalant way and tapped the basket with a be-sandalled foot. No noises came from the basket. He removed the note and gently tapped the basket again. Nothing. He read the note. “For you Kaol, do as you will is the only law.”
His demeanour changing, Kaol cast a shifty look around and lifted the lid slowly. Blinking against the brilliant sunshine the freshly woken kittens clambered over the baby rabbits they were cuddled up to. Kaol gave them all a big cuddle, named every one of them George and took them home.
“That’ll show them!” He thought. “Me! A vampire!” The tears coursed down his pasty white face as he thought of the hours of unjust humiliation he had suffered at the hands of his OT tormentors. Distracted by the thought he absently raised the kitten to his lips and, gently breaking the skin with his razor sharp canines, he sucked the life from it.
Denial, the most powerful of all survival mechanisms.

Although factually incorrect in places.
I do not, and never will wear sandals.
Also, I'm not a vampire.

and we have no proof that you aren't, you'd be a vampire like Cassidy in Preacher, not one who hangs out with fluffy animals.

Apart from I can't see myself sucking men off for drugs.
Or being Irish.

I don't drink blood and I like garlic.
But I am very white with (dyed) black hair and am allergic to the sun.

on whether I've been drinking wine, lager, or spirits.
And whether I'm in the same mood as I was yesterday. I had frosty knicks of steel.

But in its absence, how did you know spirits were the best bet?

But maybe he's busy having tea with Erzsébet Báthory...
