Virgil took a while to get enough control to be around humans.

                In 1927, he slipped up and bit a human.  Though, somehow, he stopped himself and ran away.  He ran straight home and told us what he had done.

                "You what?" Dylan screamed, his voice going up 2 octaves. 

                "I'm sorry!" Virgil shouted. 

                "Sorry is not good enough!" Dylan was still screaming.  "You killed someone!"

                Alexander was trying to calm down but failing.  Everyone was fighting, panicking.  Words like murderer, monster, and abomination were being thrown at Virgil, mainly from his own brother. 

                "Enough!" I yelled above everyone. 

                They all shut up and looked at me. 

                "This is what we are" I shouted.  "All of us - even Alex, Sam, and I - are tempted by blood.  Not every vampire has self control on their first year.  I didn't.   Are you gonna call me a monster for it?"

                No one spoke. 

                "V, show me where the girl was" I held out my hand. 

                That's part of my mental shield thing.  I can give visions to other people as well as see what they are thinking though contact.  Virgil thought hard about where he was and I bolted out the door.  But, I poked my head in. 

                "If I come back to you guys fighting about this again, I'm not gonna be happy" I hissed, putting venom into my voice. 

                They all shivered at the thought.  I'm the best fighter in the group.  Add that to my telekinesis, invisibility, the physical intangibility - being able to go through solid objects - and fighting me would be a death wish.  Don't get me wrong, I would never really fight my family with my full strength. 

                I ran at full speed through the back roads, arriving in seconds to the ally where he had - as he thought - killed the girl.  I found her on the ground, writhing in pain.  It was too late to suck out the venom.  She was going to be a vampire in a couple of days.  I took her home and Virgil took care of her for the rest of the transformation. 

                Curious as to what would happen; I made myself invisible when I noticed that the girl was waking up.  Virgil was curled up in a ball, sulking again.  He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realize that the girl was now crouched down in front of him, watching him curiously. 

                "Hay" the girl tried to get his attention.  "Hello" she called, waving her right hand in his face.  "Anyone home?" she was about to knock on his head as if it were a door. 

                "You must hate me" Virgil muttered. 

                "Why?" the girl asked. 

                "I am the one that did this to you.  You're not human anymore.  You can never go home now."

                "Seriously?" she didn't sound sad.  "Never?" she almost sounded happy.

                "Yes, you can never go home."

                She squealed at that and hugged him, thanking him over and over.  Both of us were shocked.  I became visible and got her off of him.
