Vampires can move so fast, mortals can hardly perceive them in
Anne Rice novels. Therefore, explain:
In IWTV, Louis and LeStatt are racing each other on horses to
kill/save a teenager. Why not run?
In QOTD, Baby Jenks and a young European vampire are both trying
to escape Akasha. They fight each other for a motorcycle to escape. If
they want to escape, just run.
I think a banana peel will work better than garlic, against
vampires.
