Transformation from Human to Vampire

For a human to become a vampire, the human must be bitten by another vampire. Vampires have no body fluids except for venom, which is deadly to animals and will turn people into vampires. The venom blocks the flow of blood through the veins, and travels throughout the body. The venom is very painful, and the transformation isn't fast.

After being bitten, the human is in extreme agony. Venom can be removed, but it isn't easy for a vampire to do it. They must have great self-contol, as they have to suck out the blood that is poisoned by the venom without inserting more. If they can manage this feat, they then have to be careful not to suck the clean blood from the human, as this would kill them.

Victoria bites all of her newborns, as she doesn't trust Riley to do this. She herself, a vampire centuries older than him, killed many, and she has had a lot more chances to learn to control herself. Riley just gets the humans. If the venom is left to spread for about three days, then the transformation is complete. After this, the new vampire will be wild and out of control.
