@Aisling "Yes," Dracula answered. "But chewing gum works, and so do lollipops and popsicles. Vampires don't get any illnesses. Only injuries, like I did, and like Ioan did. Our powers... we've got many of them. Our senses are strong, we can climb up walls, we can hypnotize, we can turn into any animal, we are ten times as strong as adult men, our wounds heal extremely fast, we can read minds, we can use telepathy, and we can control animals and the weather."
