SASHA POV
Rika did her job well. All the vampire staff are piled in the kitchen—even the hostess from upstairs—lying on the floor with blissful expressions, slowly slipping into oblivion. The ecstasy poison. A good choice. From what she s told me, it gives vampire a better high than anything else and makes whatever blood they re drinking taste incredible. They enjoy the high for a little while—anywhere from five minutes to an hour, depending on the amount consumed, but any amount is ultimately lethal—while slowly losing functionality. The high starts to fade, and they just sort have an experience of dozing off, even though vampires can t sleep—and they never wake up. A second death, and a permanent one. A few of them have already passed and started to crumble, but these vampires seem to be largely newer than the ones who were downstairs.
