Sophia/Stacey story Pt4

"Do you know any of her coven members?"
"Not really. I tried to stay away from them. Some of them are kind of creepy. Sophie was normal enough to not freak me out... but something about her coven members gave me the creeps."
"Well thank you for your time Ms. Gallimore. I'll just head back over to the scene and poke around some more."
Stacey nodded, pursing her lips together. "Can I stop in there, Officer Shorts?"
"As it is your room as well, you do have the right to come and go as needed, though we would prefer you to not stay there longer than necessary. But feel free to go and collect your books or anything else you may need or want. Nobody else will be allowed to come in with you though, of course."
Stacey nodded her head again. "Great." She stood up and walked with  Officer Maples and Officer Shorts to the door. Once the officers had left, she turned to her backpack and got dressed for the day. Then she headed back across the street to her apartment to grab the book that Sophie was reading the night before. Then she headed to the campus library for some peace and quiet reading.
She turned over "Vampires and Immortality- Dwellers of The Everlasting Night." As with all of Sophia's books, Vampires and Immortality was in perfect condition on the outside. Stacey read down the blurb on the back cover.

Misconceptions about the everlasting night dwellers are everywhere
in the human world. Stories of eroticism and mystique, glamor and
crime that feature vampires as a main character are everywhere. But
what is the truth? Vampirism is so much more then glittery sex-appeal,
it is immortality, at the cost of never needing food or any other
need again, just blood. Follow the lives, or afterlives to be more precise,
of five different beings, these creatures of the night, all at different
stages, and see if you think that you are one of the few homo sapians who were born to become a Dweller of the Everlasting Night.

Feeling slightly intrigued and amused, Stacey opened up the book and began to read chapter one, The Truth About Vampires. It was not an easy read, firstly because it kept going back and forth between what was 'true' about vampires and what was 'false and myth' concerning vampires. The fact that Sophia loved to write in books did not help Stacey read the text, but she did gain some insight into the notes scribbled into the margins. One passage, that was talking about what a vampire is and how one is created, had a good five paragraphs stating all of the "fictional" ways that vampires are "created".

"Although it may seem that the fictional tale of being 'born' a vampire
is true, it's not. Vampires are creatures of eternal being, and as such,
never change. As much as a child may try and tell their mother that they
need to drink blood, this is simply fiction."

"Another vampire cannot make another vampire. The choice to be a vampire
must lie with the individual, and is a gift only given to the worthy. Only humans who show great psyche strength even have the possibility of becoming a vampire."

Following the last paragraph was a note scribbled in Sophia's handwriting. "Great psyche strength is..."
