CARPATHIANS

"What sort of place had I come to, and among what kind of people? What sort of grim adventure was it on which I had embarked?...I began to rub my eyes and pinch myself to see if I were awake. It all seemed like a horrible nightmare to me, and I expected that I should suddenly awake, and find myself at home with the dawn struggling in through the windows, as I had now and again felt in the morning after a day of of overwork. But my flesh answered the pinching test, and my eyes were not to be deceived. I was in the land of the Carpathians!

Bram Stoker, "Dracula"

Carpathians survive by drinking the blood of humans, but unlike vampires, they do not kill their human prey. Carpathians use their telepathic abilities to call humans to them in order to feed feed, and then use those same abilities to erase the humans memory of the incident.

I feel that Carpathians, senate and house of repugnants are from the same gene pool. At least I feel pretty drained every time one of them opens their mouth and begins to suck me dry again.



Vampires were once Carpathians but turn into vampire when they kill while feeding, lose their life mate or fails to find their life mate. Wikipedia



I have come to believe that Ted Kennedy (feeding on Mary Jo) and Robert C. Byrd (years in the KKK, who knows what atrocities he committed)could easily have moved into true vampire form.

Carpathians also live much longer than humans. Perhaps you could give them a little bit of leeway here and it could just be because of their superior health care program.
