"No. Never a vampire, not now. Carpathians do not kill their victims, so we are not vampires. A vampire is what happens when a Carpathian male gives into the darkness and loses their soul. You prevent me from becoming the thing that I hunt."

"You... kill vampires?" she squeaked, taking another step away from him.

"I do. It is my duty. Though there are strange ponies here that claim to be vampires, yet only few of them are the kind I search for. Vampires that I hunt seek to destroy my people and everything they come into contact with. For the safety of mortals and immortals alike, I must hunt them."

"Korina and Kyden would never hurt anyone," she argued, fiercely. "Just because they have to drink blood doesn't make them evil."

"I can understand. I myself require blood to live."

"Where do you get the blood?" she asked, forcing herself to relax by indulging her curiosity.

"I call my prey to me, put them to sleep and plant a memory for them to have when they awaken and heal the pricks with my saliva. I prefer stragglers or males that need a good scare to encourage proper behavior."

"You won't do that to me, though, right?" she frowned at him, taking yet another step away from him. She had a good five or six feet between them by now. If she wanted, she could probably bolt. Or fly away. She stretched her wings slightly in preparation of just that. "Mess with my mind, I mean. I don't care much about the blood. I doner for my brother and sister sometimes."

Zakiel shook his head, "I cannot lie to you. Anything I could ever plant in your head you could easily find the truth of by searching in mine." Just follow the link. He spoke to her telepathically, giving her the chance to enter his mind at will.

"What link?" she frowned, not quite grasping that his lips hadn't moved then. She was trying so hard to follow his words, to understand their meaning, but it kept sounding like he was speaking another language.

The link between us. We have not exchanged blood, so it is faint, but it is still there. You have all my knowledge at your hooftips. You only need to enter my mind to access it. Reach out with your mind and find mine.

She frowned a bit and tilted her head. Reach out with her mind? How was that supposed to work? With a small shrug, she tried imagining a string connecting them, and following it to his mind.

He smiled, Good. Zakiel reached out to guide her the rest of the way. Each time our minds merge, the connection grows stronger. My people must touch minds often, it is one of the ways that the darkness is kept at bay for the males.

Seems like there's a lot of ways for your people to fall into madness. How did you last so long on your own? She wondered, hardly aware that she wasn't speaking aloud. She was so fascinated with the whole exercise that she let him guide her without any resistance.

It is a delicate balance. Lifemates were not so hard to find at one time. Now it is a rare occasion for a male to find his. Most either become the undead or greet the dawn.
