random thought while reading more Twilight...

[ratcreature]

So, I started reading the second part -- though I'm not that far along yet -- and I really don't get how this vampire reaction to blood is supposed to work. Apparently even a little blood, like from a paper cut, taxes their control, unless they have lots of practice like Carlisle. Okay, whatever.

But how does that work while they are in a school where half the students will bleed three to five days per month?? Granted, it's not a lot of blood, but more than from a paper cut, so they must smell that. And it's not like they growl a lot at random girls from what I gathered. Is this explained somewhere? Did I miss something? Does menstrual bloood smell icky? What? I don't get it.

this is prolly way too old to reply do, but Anne rice did mention menstrual blood in the one book where lestate ended up in hell and somehow getting the shroud of turin. the girl he had been talking to at the begining of th ebook was menstruating, and he had noticed. closer to the end of the book when he finally got away from lucifer, he pulled down her panties for a quick snack to recover from the escape.

I have a REAllY weird memory for details from books.

Heh. So some vampire fiction does go there.
