Her story parallels mine too closely. . . well, almost. I've been looking for sites like this, and I happened to stumble here. I've been reading it closely, and I'm taking a chance. So I guess I'll start with my story.
The parallels go like this. It was to be my first gig. The propietor was estactic to have me. I was a little nervous, who wouldn't be? I was at the building, but before I could even get to the den, this fella persuaded me to go with him instead. What can I say? He was cute, and I used to be a sucker. Still am, but in a different way.
Anyway, he took me to his apartment . . . only, he was interested in more than just "me" per se. Then I noticed the fangs. The rest is kinda a blur.
That's where my path and that of Huntress's disect for a bit. I didn't get away.
I turned into one of them.
Yeah. I'm a vampire.
And for a while, I really was. I've taken out my share of men's hearts--literally. It's maddening, this thirst for the "good stuff." But I'm doing better. And I take it out on the real bad guys of human society.
So I guess I'm asking a question.
Do you guys believe in redemption of the damned? Because if you do, then I can help you out big time. And if not . . . well then, I guess I'll have to prove you wrong. Because I'm trying to be good.

This one must be watched closely. I agree with Ron. Caution will certainly have to be exercised here.

Let none be damned but by their own hand. If we consider those assaulted by the Vampyr to have lost their souls, we take away the sacred protection of God's love. If our friend here has truly overcome the dark desires of her new sinful nature, and instead uses her power to aid the innocent, I see no reason to shun her, nor to distrust her.

That said. I have met only one vampire who renounced his ways... and he did so with his dieing breath, sacrificing himself to save another. Redemption must be earned, with true regret, pain, and repentance.

Madam, you will have my faith until you show me you should not. In addition, you would do well to contact my Research and Development teams in Westminster. They are engaged in certain... "Alternative Medicines", and have done some wonderful things with artificial blood plasma and UV blocking ointments.

I write to the lazlo society again pleading for assistance. After my last posting I was "detained" in some sort of hospital. Thanks to the works of Mr. Nicks Mind I was labbeled a luinatic and sent away.
It was only after my body built a tolerance to the drugs I was given did I know the severity of my situation. One afternoon while watching t.v in the recroom I saw my self on the news actaully give a press confrence about new city programs for Xander hills. Now I am well aware that I might be crazy at this point with all the drugs the hospital pumped into me. But It was not me on the t.v giving a live press confrence as the mayor of Xander hills. The orderlies moved quickly to change the chanel so I did not get verymany details of the press release. I knew what I must do. I managed an escape after months of being locked away.
I have hidden with some contacts within the Xander hills preservation society. I am now asking for any help that can be offered. The town of Xander hills is now under the controll of I know not what. If none of you investigators will help my home town then I now plead to those like Miss Darken. If you seek redemption I offer you the battlefeild of Xander Hills PA. Please contact me through the Lazlo Society or The Xander hills preservation society. My contacts & I will arrange your transport here. I wish you luck in your current "war Story" but if things go south for you please remember Xander hills.
For those debunkers and sceptics I apollogize for my unorthodox methods but with no help from the society in the past and my credibility desroyed by those who I asked for help that labled me Insane and helped with my capture. I only hope I am crazy enough to do what others dare not.
I have prayed to the heavens for help and no one answered. I hope those cast out of hell will hear my call.

This thread and the Valley of the Kings post in War Stories is seriously stressin' my weird-shit-o-meter.

Why would the mayor of Xander Hills impersonate you?

You and me both Willie you and me both. Keep me posted guys.

[quote="Ron Caliburn"][b][color=yellow]I don't know if you're a whackjob asking for attention or what . . . but if you do come 'round my neighbourhood, you best be on your best behavoir, else I end up tracking you down.

I think that being the type of people that frequent this site she is taking a big risk by posting here and I'd give her the benefit of the doubt. What else could she possibly gain by posting here? Unless it be help and information on the same thing all of us are hunting.

As long as you stay away from my juggular or prove otherwise I say we trust her as much as we trust everyone else on this site (at arms length)

I recognize and appreciate your faith father, but I have never seen a vampire that could be called truly good. I must say that I prefer the "kill first, ask questions never" approach. If they have truly earned redemption then they will be recieved into heaven anyway. I would choose that over any amount of time stuck on the mortal Earth as a blood-sucking abomination.

Weres are a slightly different story but I agree with you. Also, not only are they predators but they're smart. As smart or even smarter than the average human. And that makes them much more dangerous than any run of the mill predator.

Yes, both are predators...and weres can be very intelligent. Intelligent enough to use a computer, to read posts placed by hunters of paranormal creatures. Just to let you know, not all things that go bump in the night are evil or hunt humans for food or sport. Then again many of them are. Just as humans can be evil, so can some of the Tribes of the Night be good. I myself prefer a nice juicy hamburger to a person. Plus I make one hell of an ally in a fight, or if you need to track some...thing down.

Greetins' From Maine

First of all...LUPINE! I don't them lupine and they sure as hell do not like me. If they diodn't change back into people when ya kill em, Im thinking fur rugs in front of my fireplace. As for little Raven Im a bloodsucker, how do like your stake? Huntress is no monster, as for Raven, she ever showed up in my town, the hunt is on. Same goes for any unwelcome beasties or baddie. You want my trust, buddy, you gotta earn it.

Happy Huntin'

Ron... Gods, you can't keep doing this to yourself, man...

Please...come home tonight...
