Vampire Thralls

Apparently, there are still humans insane enough to make deals with demons. While out gathering today, I discovered a small nest of two or three vampires, all nestled together in an abandoned house. They had a group of humans with them as well, though they appeared well fed and surprisingly content to be living with those monsters. Naturally, this confused me. After quite a bit of question, however, the humans revealed all I needed to know. They are called Thralls, these traitorous humans. They are like a sort of security blanket for the vampires, an extra pair of eyes to watch after the sun has risen. Vampires create these Thralls by mixing their blood with the human's; not enough to turn them, mind you, but enough to intertwine their mind and make the Thralls something a little more than human. From what I have gathered, there's a connection -- a sort of mental bond, almost -- between Thrall and Vampire. It is very similar to the bond shared between twins, or so I'm told. They can feel each other's anger, sadness, happiness; even arousal. It is not a strong mental bond (they cannot be affected by the other's emotions) but just strong enough to know. Because of this connection, Vampire and Thrall tend to have a very deep and emotional friendship. Some even become lovers. Vampires have a grip on their Thralls, however. Should a master vampire tell his Thrall "As your master, I command..." and follow with an order, the Thrall has no choice but to obey. From what I can tell, to use this power is a great betrayal of the trust between the pair.  Of course, that being said, Thralls are not given the short end of the stick, as the saying goes. Thralls are trusted with guarding the Vampire during the day. Should they gather up the courage, they could quite easily push their sleeping masters into the sun and watch as they burn.  More to come when my dear companions loosen their tongues.
