Fairies are the first vampires

Yes you heard it right. Fairies were not cutesy tinkerbell types but very vengeful and grim. Before the 15th century people would set out milk and bread for them. If you did not provide them food they would come inside your house and drink your blood. THey needed the blood to reinforce their stock and to feed off of human essence and lifeforce. Fairies would use glamour to lure humans away and were associated with the dead. The whole vampire myth stems from old Iris folklore regarding these creatures who were blood thirsty. Bram Stoker himself was Irish. Many were day bound and came out at night. One IRish myth was the ganconer that has the same premise of twilight. So for everyone saying that the Cullens are not vampires and they are fairies then you are right. They going back to their roots.
