"I do not think of my self as evil." ~ Christopher Pike

"Strange as it may sound, if you think of me as a monster, but I can love most passionately. I do not think of myself as evil." - Christopher Pike The Last Vampire, 7.

At the moment, I am reading Thirst, a 3 in one book revolving around Alisa Perne, a 5000 year old vampire. Over the course of the first 2 books, Alisa has mentioned 6 past and present lovers. Some she has cared about deeply, others she only used for blood, but over all they usually die because of something she does. What I have learned from both reading this specific quote and from reading the books, is that Alisa is somewhat contradicting. Yes she can love extremely passionately, and would die to save certain lovers, but I think that I could consider her to be evil. Not only has she gotten her lovers killed because of her on various occasions, but she has also turned people into vampires for her own selfish reasons. I think that Alisa will be in a lot of danger because she turned people she loved into vampires. The reason I say this is because her most recent lover turned vampire was captured and taken to a military base to be tested, which could prove very dangerous to both of their lives.

The reason I chose the trailer for "Let Me In",  is more because of the similar situation between Abby, the main character of the movie and Alisa, than the emotion of the video. Both characters have been alive for a very long time, and have knowlegde and experience well beyond their youthful appearences. Another similarity, that really stood out to me was that Abby also had people she loved, people who would do anything to help her, that were killed because of what she is. Although the plots of each story were very different, the emotions felt by both Abby and Alisa are very similar, and that could be one of the many reasons I enjoyed both "Let Me In" and "Thirst".
