Do vampires have abilities

This is a tricky question. Because vampires are (as far as science knows) mythological creatures, the author has many freedoms when it comes to their creation. In early history, vampires were little more than walking corpses, with the same appearance as a dead body. As time passed, they were embellished, most notably by Bram Stoker with his creation of Dracula. The novel itself, also entitled Dracula, was the first of its kind in that it added sexuality to the vampire myth. In modern times, the original version of vampires is hardly ever used, as people tend to be attracted towards the "dangerous sensuality" Stoker made so famous. To answer your question, here are some examples of the most famous writers of vampire lore and their beliefs, as well as some "real" myths that come from who-knows-where. Stephenie Meyer: She was the first to create "good" vampires who struggled with their consciences and fought not to drink human blood who became popular on a wide scale. Her pop-culture phenomenom, Twilight, is told from the perspective of a teenage girl who falls in love with one of these "good" vampires. Her writing was unique in that each vampire bought over and intensified a special ability from their human life, and these abilities characterize her vampires, both "good" and bad. Anne Rice: A popular author well-known for her ten-book series The Vampire Chronicles, her vampires differ from Stoker's in several ways. For one thing, they are not affected by the usual weapons (crosses, garlic, et cetera). They also do not need human blood every night, even though it is more nutritious, and they can drink animal blood as well. Note that Rice's vampires compare to Meyer's, although hers do not possess the same "conscience" that made Meyer's vampires stand out. Also, some older vampires of Rice's can fly. All of them can move very fast, and are very strong. They can also mimic anything (voices, performances, et cetera) and are extremely sensitive and emotional, to the point of excess. There are many other authors of this sort, and you can easily find their books and movies and songs and plays and poems by searching in your local library. However, I hope this has helped you to understand that vampires are not cut from the same cloth.
