   His head was spinning by the time the stranger was through explaining himself. Jesse knew what he had been taught; right from wrong. He had been placed in a wooden coffin and dunked into a deep lake with only a tube to breathe through to learn these things; to know what was evil.

   “So you’ve been around forever. So you’re more knowledgeable, you know best, and I should listen to you? See things the way you see them? Not how the bible, not how God, a being that has existed right from the start, would call things? That what you’re sayin’?” ‘Cause he wouldn’t hear that. None of it.

He smirked and had to stop himself from laughing at the preacher, he didnt want him to change his core values, but he wanted him to realise that Vampires were not a bad as he though they were. “Not forever. Im about forty years shy of being five hundred.” He told him as he stood up and moved over to him. “I have believed in god since I was a boy, my family went to church every week. And I have kept that up through most of my time here.”

“Oh I have sinned like more than most that is true. But I do not burst into flames when I step into a church and god has forgiven for my crimes. Vampires arent even in the bible preacher. Though it does say you can not mix fabrics, if you need the passage it is 

Leviticus 19:19 and 

Deuteronomy 22:9–11.” Axel smirked as he pointed to Jesse’s jeans and his shirt.
