Almost instantly, the question put her on guard, but she settled down and took another sip of her tea after a moment or two. She set the cup down and then ran her hand back through her hair. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, then opened them again.
"Sarah has told you that the vampires from your world are different than the ones who hunt, correct? The vampires she hunts do not turn to dust, they can survive off of the minutest amount of blood. Or without it period. Perhaps not without it so much as not having as much. They do not need to kill to sustain themselves. In fact, I was a helper in what was called SingleEarth which gave willing donors to the vampires. People who were willing to open a vein for them and give them blood. As I said though, our vampires are very different. They can even walk in the daylight, the only thing way you can tell that they're vampires is the aura. And their eyes. All vampire's eyes bleed to black when they've been made." She took a deep breath and tightened her hands slightly, kneading them against her thigh.
"The Smoke Clan, my clan, are healers. We have 'unsired' someone as you say before, my aunt did. Ever since that point, the Smokes were bound tighter to the darkness, it killed my Aunt Monica after she had done it. But the entire clan...we figured if all of us did it, if all of us focused our power, and did it, no one would die. So we did. But we couldn't obliterate all of the vampire blood from Sarah, so she wasn't clean enough for the tastes of Dominique Vida, her mother. She's still tainted and she still has a strong connection to both Kristopher and Nikolas, the ones who together created her, and the main reason that Dominique hates her so much. Sarah refuses to hand them over to her. Anyways, there is something about our magic that enables us to do it. The Smokes, that is. But if one person does it...they die."
