The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

On the outskirts of a small town is a tiny tavern where locals sometimes gather to unwind. two minor things are different on this night, so minor in fact that most of the people do not even seem to notice either of these two things. the first thing to go unnoticed is the woman that sits at a table in the middle of this half crowded room sipping her coffee to warm herself from the cold nights air. As she listens to the music from the minstrel playing his lute on the stage, even she is unaware of the other difference here tonight. As the night goes on the minstrel plays eight songs before dinner is served and drinks are refreshed, and when dinner is over the minstrel plays four more songs before retiring for the night. Still no one has managed to notice the other difference this night. the last difference is the man sitting by himself in the shadows at a table in the darkest corner of the tiny tavern, He is dressed in all black with a deep cowl over his head, he has been watching and listening to everything that has gone on this night. Mostly he has not been able to keep his gaze off the woman at the table in the middle of the room, she seems ordinary in nature but he knows all to well that this is not the case; other wise they would not have asked for his help in finding her and he would not have had to spend the last six weeks tracking her here. With his bow and quiver over his shoulder and his sword at his side, he stands and makes his way out of the tavern as quickly and quietly as possible. As she sits there eating a man approaches her table and says may I join you young lady? She smiles at him with a giggle in her voice she replies you may sit if you wish, though I am no lady. the man smiles back and takes a seat. over dinner they continue to talk, as the night draws to a close the man says that he should be going as he still needs to find a room for the night. The woman offers him to stay the night at her place. She has so much room in that empty mansion of hers and it would be a shame to have him freeze to death for lack of finding a place to stay. The man thanks her and offers her a few coins for the room, but she will not hear of it. At the end of the night they get up to leave, they pay the tab and she leads as he walks her towards her house that is on the hill over looking the ocean. As they turn up the hill he asks are you not cold? She answers him saying not to much, do not worry I will be warm soon enough; all I need is a taste. Just one little taste
