Dacre Lenore was sure of a lot of things, but what he was sure of most was his hatred for vampires. Vermin. Corpses puppeteered by demons.

Crueller still, being turned into a vampire to then be hunted down by a less-scrappy, more terrifying looking Casper McPhee. +++ EXTREMELY ROUGH DRAFT, MINIMAL EDITING!
