both.
    ‘But he didn’t bite her, she said he didn’t. Even if this were all true, he didn’t bite her,’ yelled Finn.
    ‘It’s like a vaccination,’ Ignace said, calm as ever. ‘Protection against the virus. She’ll be immune to vampire bites within a matter of hours. Then you won’t need to control your teenage-boy urges. Which is just as well, as you don’t seem to be very good at that.’
    ‘Nor you your old-man urges. You’re old enough to be Juliette’s father – in fact, her great-great -great-great-great-grandfather if we’re to believe you. What’s going on there?’
    Omar had appeared at the tent opening. But he stopped at the sight of the blood around Ava’s mouth. ‘And what’s going on here?’
    ‘I just explained – vaccination. Vampirism is caused by a virus.’
    ‘But you made her eat his blood? That’s gross!’
    ‘And creepy,’ added Ruby. ‘Does it work?’
    ‘Yes. If any of you – or a mosquito – bites her, she will be protected against vampirism. But you won’t feel the desire to bite her. Mosquitoes will, of course, but they can’t harm her now.’
    ‘How long does it last?’ asked Ruby.
    ‘Forever, as far as I know. That is, as long as she lives. Because she will die in seventy or eighty years, of course. And you won’t. That will take some getting used to.’
    It would indeed. They were all silent, even Finn, for a long time.
    ‘So,’ Omar said at last. ‘Do we have a choice?’
    ‘Die now or live forever? Too late – the choice has been made for you. You live forever – virtually. Nathan, you’re lucky she got it wrong – you nearly got the other option. Now – we need to talk. There’s a lot to learn.’

About the Author
    Anne Rooney does not eat meat, in case the taste of blood becomes too appealing.
    When not writing books she haunts the cemeteries and catacombs of Paris and Venice and raises non-vampiric daughters and chickens in Cambridge. She studied at a haunted college and her first car was a haunted van; the undead hold no fears for her.
