becoming a vampire

The transition from a human to a vampire is said to be very painful, in fact, for many vampires, the pain of the transformation is the sharpest memory vampires have of their human life.
If the bite of a vampire is not deliberate, or poorly placed, the agonies of the transformation will be particularly painful. In this kind of scenario, it would take a little more than three days to become a vampire—the farther the bite is from the heart, the longer it will take for the venom to reach it.
To become a vampire, a vampire’s venom must travel through your blood stream from the bite, assuming that the vampire doesn’t drain the body of its blood. The venom spreads for a few days (the actual length of time that the transformation takes in dependant on how much venom is in the bloodstream, and how close the venom enters to the heart), being pumped around the body as the heart keeps beating. The various physical changes that take place occur as the poison moves through the body. One of the changes that occur in the body is physical “healing” from the injuries that they may have had. The greatest pain begins when the venom is all the way through the body, through the heart, and it starts meeting itself in the veins again and then burning them dry. The venom moves slower than blood because it is thicker—each beat of the heart can only push it so far. The venom has to leak through every cell in the body before it ends, so the changing/burning process is slow. The final stage in conversion is when the heart stops—the point at which the person turns into a vampire.
