Chapter 11

I made it a habit to scan as many newspapers as I could, to see if there were any stories about unusual or unexplainable events that might concern me. While reading through the pages, I found an announcement about the monthly meeting of the Southern California Vampires group. As I read on, I found out that they were meeting Friday at a location near where I used to live in Hollywood.

That day I made sure that I fed early. I walked to the meeting and was greeted at the door by a young woman dressed in a costume like those you would see in a vampire movie. She told me that the meeting was for members only and everyone was supposed to attend in some kind of historical vampire garb. I explained to her that I was new in town and was looking to transfer from another group I belonged to in another state. She consulted with a man wearing a Victorian-era costume and then agreed to let me attend.

There must have been 30 or more people, all dressed in elaborate costumes that represented every character that I had seen in vampire movies. I walked around, introducing myself and as I was talking to them, they would speak in foreign accents and refer to themselves as Count or Countess from Transylvania or other places I had never heard of. Most were wearing fake fangs that protruded from their mouth. Some looked like they had had some major dental work done. They wore a lot of makeup and very elaborate wigs.

Many of the people were drinking from glasses that held some kind of red liquid. A table set up at one end of the room was laid out with a big bowl of the beverage. It looked like blood but when I smelled it, I realized that it was wine with a thickening gel that gave it the appearance of blood. There were trays of small sandwiches and other foods to snack on.

I giggled to myself as I looked at the table and at the characters. This was a joke. If anyone in this room were like me and knew exactly what I was going through they would not be displaying themselves like this. The reality was that they wanted to be something that they were not.

I wanted to ask if anyone had heard any stories about real vampires living among us. On the way out, I stopped and chatted with the woman at the door about my visit and asked her about the possibility of real vampires existing. Her response was, “We are all real vampires.” I left.

I spent the night walking around and got to my office early. I sorted through my e-mails and everything in my incoming mailbox. An envelope with my name on it lay on the desk. There was no return address, no stamp, nothing to indicate that it would have come by post. It was too early for the mail person to have delivered it and there was no one else in the office.
