He almost smiled when she rose to leave. "I had not given it," he said simply. "Good night, Miss." He tipped his hat and walked away. He could not help his curiosity. Would she be there tomorrow night? Perhaps he would stay and "help" her find a vampire. It was an amusing thought, and it was something new and different to do.
Curiosity was one of the most dangerous things for a vampire to be stricken with. It was deadly! And dangerous not only for the single vampire, but the vampires as a race. What should happen if the humans at large learned that their secret fears and hopes were true and vampires really did exist? Nothing good. Oh, there would be plenty welcoming them with open arms, and, in a way, they were far more dangerous than the ones who would be outright hostile. The hostile ones you at least always knew where you stood. The ones that were fascinated with you, wanted to like you, wanted to be enslaved by you... often times, they were unstable to begin with, and vampires - through no fault of their own - were a bit harsh on the mental stability of a human. You never knew when your adoring fan would turn against you.
