Chapter 15 of Velma the Vegan Vampire continues:
“You’re an anti!” Bennett exclaimed with horror.
“Good call,” said Velma with a slow nod.
“Bloody extremists! Know nothing about the countryside! Useless imbeciles!”
Velma smiled. “Go on, tell me about conservation. Tell me how good you lot are for wildlife. Tell me the grey partridge would be endangered if it weren’t for you.”
“Well it would!”
“And with a straight face he said that.” She smiled again. “I’ve got to hand it to you – you’ve done a great job of hanging onto the coattails of conservation, protecting the flora and fauna, planting trees and hedgerows, as if those things wouldn’t happen without you.”
“They wouldn’t!” He continued his slow shuffle towards the bedroom door.
“You’re not protecting nature, you’re holding it for ransom.” He tried to interrupt but she wagged a finger at him. “You’re telling the government if you stop us from killing animals we won’t spend any of our vast resources on planting trees or building ponds!” She shook her head disapprovingly. “But let me tell you a secret, Sir Bennett Wenthrip. All nature needs from you is your absence.”
She could tell from his face that his mind was waging a battle between fear and rage. “You arrogant little pleb!” And rage won. “You have no idea what you’re talking about! No idea about the countryside traditions that have been an important part of our culture for centuries!”
“Have you ever been to Chernobyl Sir Wenthrip?” Velma perched calmly on the man’s armchair.
“What? That nuclear disaster place? Why on Earth would I want to go there?”
“No, I don’t suppose you would. And I’m very glad about it actually because it’s doing very well without you.”
“What are you talking about?” he asked irritably.
“I was reading an article about it the other day – it’s forty years you know, since the catastrophe.” She watched his frightened, angry face retreat further as he slowly backed away from her. “And the photos were amazing. So much lush greenery. So many new trees. And so many wild animals. Wildlife is thriving. Flora and fauna are thriving Bennett. In that nuclear wasteland. And why is it thriving? Because human beings evacuated the whole area. They left it alone for forty years and it has thrived.”
Bennett grimaced. “My God you’re a mad woman! Advocating for nuclear disaster!”
Velma sighed. “Of course not Benny, you’re not really as stupid as you pretend to be are you?” She grabbed him by the throat and threw him into the chair. “So, after reading that, I thought I should do some conservation work myself.”
He struggled at first but stilled when she peered deep into his bleary eyes.
“That’s what I’m doing tonight in fact,” she told him. “I’m protecting the local wildlife by killing every member of your shooting party.”
The horror in his eyes was unpleasant to look at. Reluctantly – she really wasn’t hungry after all she’d drunk that night – she lifted his trembling hand and sunk her teeth into his wrist. For the animals, she thought.

Come back tomorrow as chapter for the beginning of chapter 16, unless you’d rather read it now 😀
