Dementia (with bonus short story "Dare")

DEMENTIA -- There is an unwritten rule among vampires: never drink the blood of a child. Children are the future for all vampires. They grow and reproduce, ensuring the vampires' continued food supply. Dementia is a rebel vampire who refuses to conform to the "rules" of her brothers and sisters; she is obsessed with the blood of the innocent. Her vampire brethren are growing tired of her games. She is given a warning, but it may be too late for that. Will Dementia be persuaded to give up her favorite sustenance, or will extreme measures have to be taken against her? ----- DARE (short story prequel to "Dead Seed") -- They had heard stories of a vampire.... "It had all just been for fun. A self-dare. They hadn’t meant for this to happen and if they could go back...well, of course they wouldn’t do it again."
