Takes three days, pain ...chills...flu like symptoms....dizziness..tiredness..
After that - need at least pint of blood every other day. - first blood can make one feel intoxicated. That sensation leaves as the young vampire becomes accustomed to drinking blood.
Blood is needed to survive but it is like another vitamin, comforting like chicken noodle soup for vampires. the hunger for blood is antithetical to violence. It is about seduction, about drawing the human closer..ie the use of glamour.
Needs to eat.. Food, meatloaf, chicken and rice...much sought after meals for vampire. Good solid meals...not rabbit food.
sunrise- descent into unconsciousness sunset - gunshot ascent to consciousness may dream while asleep...may wake during the day but is generally sluggish and doesn't move as quickly or easily as during the night hours
