#vampire transition

(This is assuming you have seen Tvd and know the vampire lore)

Imagine if you found yourself in a situation similar to Caroline. You somehow end up in the hospital and it's bad. A vampire friend (you don't know anything about the supernatural) gives you their blood and compels you to forget. Let's say you somehow get killed with the vampire blood in your system. (Just like how Katherine killed Caroline for example)

You wake up and things are different. The colors are more vibrant, sounds are louder and smells are strongers. You have this urge, this hunger inside of you (Presuming you're still in the hospital, blood won't be hard to come by).

Once you realize that blood is what you're craving for, would you drink it because your body and mind are telling you to, or will you stop to think about why you're suddenly thirsty for blood?

Again, you don't know that drinking human blood will complete the transition and turn you into a vampire, and that not drinking it in the 24h period will kill you permanently. You only know that you're craving blood.

Would you still drink it even after thinking about it?

Oh! That’s right. We’re just used to a decades worth of people just ruthlessly shoving blood into peoples mouths and then snapping necks. It was also violent and done without consent.

Legacies is doing it right. We’ve just normalized our trauma. *shrug*
