Daytime Red Eyes

Merfolk. Werewolves. Fairies. Elves. Vampires. These are some of the most popular myths that are typically found in the past and modern literature or form of entertainment. Humanity has always been fascinated with these sort of matters, especially in a time where the world is technologically advanced and connected via the internet.

From literature to films, it has become a popular subject of interest. This is most prominent in the romance genre where two different beings, such as a human and a nonhuman being, struggle with their relationship. In most cases, it is often told in the point of view of the said human. The fascination and wonder that humanity has for these creatures were strange for a vampire, such as Pierre. He never did understood the appeal and reasoning of it.

For someone who has been living for a long time, he has seen real life relationships of that subject. A human and a vampire. They have always ended the same. Death. The human dying is often very common. The cause of death tend to differ but it always end the same. Old age is the most common these days.

The relationship is often very fragile from the very start, filled with fear and worry. The vampire society is not as accepting of such relationships, especially when it comes to the older generation of vampires. These vampires are those of higher ranks in that society. Seeing humans as inferior and prey is not the only reason for such point of view. It often lies on the subject of preservation of the vampire society. With humanity taking over most of the world with their billion population, the number of supernatural creatures are not able to reach such numbers due to their genetics of having longevity. With longevity, it often comes with a price.
