Imogene shrugged. “I really couldn’t tell you. I just… can. The power just manifested one day and that was that. I’ve been studying it, obviously, and I don’t think that it has the same properties on vampires as actual sunlight does, but I’ve been cautious about it ever since.” They could still remember the mix of both thrill and terror when their powers had first manifested, and how they’d sworn off of human blood from that moment on.
She didn’t think it hurt vampires like sunlight? That meant it hadn’t actually been tested. The burning curiosity that had driven Ciara as a scientist welled up. This could mean something for how vampires worked, if one could create the very thing that destroyed them. “But don’t you want to know?” Her mind ran through what she knew about vampire blood and sunlight, a highly studied though still poorly understood subject. Clearly many vampires wanted to be able to go into the sun and still drink human blood. Ciara was relieved they still couldn’t. “I mean, I am studying vampire physiology. We could test your light on a sample.”
