[Dylan's angle]
"There are two ways for a human to become a vampire. The first way is for a vampire to bite the human and give them power, making the human the vampire's subordinate. This method requires a vampire to consume their own power to control the human who has become a vampire. Therefore, very few vampires would do this now. The second way is for the human to have the bloodline of the Kindred in their body, which is what we call a 'heretic.' A heretic needs to stimulate a vampire's self-healing ability when their human body is on the verge of death, thereby obtaining new life."
Did that mean I had to die before awakening my bloodline? I stared at Reese in silence.
Reese understood what I meant. He cleared his throat and crouched down to offer me his hand.
"If you awaken your bloodline of the Kindred, you'll still need to learn a lot about vampires. Are you sure you want to become a vampire?"
