I AM A BLOOD DRINKING VAMPIRE

We signed Suzie Davies, who has been a human vampire for six years. Suzie left her cult in America to move in with hubby Paul in Nottingham. But she still indulges her blood-thirsty macabre addiction.

As the clock strikes midnight Lady V raises the goblet to her lips, throws her head back and gulps hungrily.

The red liquid trickles down her chin and neck as she downs the contents and licks her lips approvingly.

Finally her thirst feels quenched by the only thing that satisfies her macabre lust – human BLOOD.

By day Suzie Park is a model citizen, a married volunteer who helps disabled children learn to read, bake cakes and sing songs.

But when night falls, Suzie Park is transformed into Lady V, a human VAMPIRE who sleeps in coffins and indulges her sick addiction to Human blood.

The 36 year old from Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottingham , said: “All my life there was something missing, an itch I couldn’t scratch.

“Then six years ago I met a man, Lord Sebastian, who was a human vampire. From my first taste of human blood I knew that’s what my life had been missing.

“I knew I had found the real me – and Lady V was born.”

Suzie’s fascination with the occult began when she was a teenager living in New York .

“I was always into gothic music and was a bit of a loner. I never felt I belonged anywhere,” she said.

Then in 2003 Suzie went along to an underground club in New York and her life took a sinister turn.

She recalled: “My life was in tatters. I had no job, no prospects and was really depressed.

“Then out of nowhere I felt a tap on my shoulder and a man whispered into my ear. He told me he could save me from my forsaken life.

“I turned just in time to see him leaving the club. He was tall and thin and was wearing a black cloak that almost reached the floor.

“He had long black hair down his back. Suddenly I felt a glimmer of hope and I knew I had to meet this man again.”

The following week, Suzie went back to the same bar. As she stood at the bar she knew the man would show up again and she wasn’t disappointed.

Soon, the cloaked man emerged from the shadows and beckoned for her to follow him.

Suzie remembered: “That was the start of whole new life for me. The man told me he was called Lord Sebastian as he led me to a big, old house on the outskirts of New York city .

“This was the House Exmortal – a cult where I learned how to live as a vampire.”

Over the following weeks, Suzie was ordained into the cult following a number of initiation tests.

Soon she was living as a vampire, napping during the day and living for the nights when the House held meetings and gatherings with all her new ‘sisters’ and ‘brothers.’

They prowled the streets at night and slept in coffins during daylight hours. Garlic was forbidden and the House had to remain a secret from the outside world.

But still one test remained. In order to fully become a human vampire, Suzie had to enter the Inferno Room and feast on their staple diet of human blood.

“I wasn’t nervous at all about trying it, I was excited. It was just another step on the road to becoming a fully fledged member of the cult,” she recalled.

“It just felt so right when I entered the Inferno Room for the first time. That was the room dedicated to drinking blood.

“Lord Sebastian cut a vein and trickled blood into a goblet. Then I drank from the cup. It tasted warm and metallic and as it went down I felt a rush of euphoria.

“Almost like the blood was giving me new life, restoring me. I felt like I had finally come home.”

Over the next two years, Suzie gradually transformed into Lady V, a high ranking human vampire in the house. She was involved in the blood drinking rituals on a weekly basis.

As she climbed the ranks of sisterhood in the house she was involved in the initiation of younger vampires into the house and soon the ways of the cult became her way of life.

But in 2005 tragedy struck. Lord Sebastian was knocked down by a car and killed.

Suzie said: “The news devastated the house. He was like a father to us and we were lost without him.

“We all knew immediately the house had to be disbanded. Lord Sebastian was the house – without him we could not continue the House of Exmortal.

“When we had recovered from the shock, we all went our separate ways. But I knew I would never give up drinking blood.”

Later that year, Suzie was in an internet chatroom when a man struck up conversation with her.

She said: “He told me his name was Paul Davies and he lived in Nottingham in the UK . We hit it off immediately and soon we were chatting every night.

“He liked the goth scene and we seemed to have loads in common.”

When ex-electrician Paul, 41, asked Suzie to come and live with him in the UK , she knew she had met the one.

But there was one thing Paul had to know before she made the move. She had to reveal her bloodthirsty secret.

She said: “I had told him a little bit about the cult but not about the blood drinking. This was the real test of how much he cared for me.

“But he was fine with it. He asked if I still did it and I explained I had to continue drinking blood. It’s the only thing that quenches my thirst and makes me feel alive.

“He had to understand I would never give it up.

“Thankfully he did.”

In 2007 Suzie moved over to the UK and moved in with Paul. Luckily Paul didn’t mind Suzie’s horrific hobbies.

“He was totally fine with my life as Lady V,” she said. “He understands that Lady V is a part of my personality and I have to let her out.

“I have a coffin I sleep in and I make Gothic Lamps. I have a lot of Gothic art and memorabilia which clutters up the house so it’s fortunate he understands what I do.”

Paul was understanding about Suzie’s passion for drinking human blood and in March last year the couple got married in a gothic ceremony.

In April this year Suzie decided she wanted to volunteer at a nearby home for disabled children and she took a post as a teaching assistant.

During the day, Suzie appears to lead a normal life. She goes to volunteer at the centre and helps the children learn to read and write. She teaches them cookery skills and sings songs with them before heading home to her husband.

But as soon as night falls, Suzie is no more. Instead Lady V takes over with her devil worship and bloodthirsty ways. As the clock strikes midnight, Lady V cuts a vein and bleeds into a goblet.

Then she thirstily downs the vile contents, her own blood.

Suzie said: “I can’t help it, it’s a part of me I have to indulge. Nothing makes me feel like I do when I drink blood.

“There are loads of us out there – you could be living next door to one. You just never know.”
