Hush, now you shouldn’t struggle so. This is for your own good.
A handful of Kindred still exist tonight who, during the late 19th century, participated in the destruction of the Melissidae.
Those who witnessed the pogrom still talk about the Melissidae, even tonight, and the stories grow in the telling. The Melissidae, they say, could vomit swarms of wasps. They say that Melissidae had a sting, imparted with no more than a brush of the lips, which could send you into an ecstasy of pain. They swear that the Melissidae behaved like the “Queen Bees” of ersatz hives that were populated by mortals who had been twisted into near-mindless drones and forced to submit to a hivemind by a unique power of the blood. The one thing these elders agree on, however, is that the Queen Bees’s blood was sweeter than anything any of them will ever taste again. It tasted like honey.
