How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Never in my wildest dreams had I ever expected to run afoul of a genuine vampire slayer. Blade and Van Helsing are fictional creations, after all; they're not supposed to be walking around in real life. (4.8)
Nina is shocked when they discover Casimir's remains. Not because she'll particularly miss him, but because she didn't think vampire slayers actually existed. Vampires have tried to keep their existence a secret, and they're not particularly threatening anyway because they're so sickly, so why would anyone go out of their way to kill them?
Quote #2
Horace has an irritating habit of teasing people as a form of stress relief. He was certainly teasing Dave, who had always maintained that werewolves might very well exist, though not necessarily in the form that populates most films and comic strips. (5.68)
Horace can be a jerk sometimes, but this exchange serves to show that this group of vampires doesn't actually know much about what's out there. If the laws of physics or whatever allows vampires to exist, then why not other supernatural creatures, too?
Quote #3
Unlike vampires, werewolves don't spread their infection. That's why werewolves are so rare. They come from a particular gene pool that originated in Spain or Portugal, and they're always seventh sons. (14.5)
Okay, so werewolves do exist in this world, and they follow rules of their own. A werewolf bite probably hurts a lot, but it won't turn you into a werewolf (good to know). They can be drugged or hurt like a human being can. And werewolfism is passed on genetically, from a particular gene pool.
