- The Vampire Bat feeds on blood because its a nutritious meal. No great mystery there. The mosquito, the tick and the leech find blood a nice snack too.
- A particular subset of vampires feed on blood to get at 'the life force' they need to perpetuate their existence. As The Bible says 'In the blood is the life.'

I've no idea what the second answer means but there is one big difference between the bat and the mosquito, leech and tick. The bat makes a small cut with its sharp teeth and laps up the blood that seeps out. The invertebrates insert their mouth parts through the top layer of skin and into capilliaries, and sucks blood directly from them. As for so-called 'life-forces', in both cases and for all species of vampire bat, they need the blood simply as food - though without food they wouldn't live long!

What happens of vampires suck your blood?
Vampires in folklore are said to feed on human blood to sustain themselves, with legends suggesting they may hypnotize or control their victims during the process. The consequences of having your blood sucked by a vampire are typically portrayed as weakening the victim, leaving them vulnerable or even leading to death. However, as vampires do not exist in reality, there are no actual consequences associated with being bitten by one.

If vampire bites human then what happen?
When a vampire bites a human, their sharp fangs penetrate the skin and draw blood from the victim. The vampire's saliva contains enzymes that prevent the blood from clotting, allowing them to feed more easily. The human may experience sensations of pleasure or euphoria due to the vampire's hypnotic abilities, and in some lore, the victim may also become weakened or even turn into a vampire themselves.
What will you do if a vampire bites you?
well in twilight, the venom goes into your system and it supposedly hurts more than anything. it turns you into a vampire and the process takes about 3 days of excrutiating pain.But no one likes Twilight Vampires. A real vampire would fill your head with things to take your mind of the pain and feed on you while you are unaware. Or simply bite you, feeling pain. You will either die, or they bury you and stay with you until a night has passed, you both then emerge and you become a vampire. There is another way that involves you drinking the vampires blood and then dying and coming back to life as a vampire. Or they may use you to feed off, simply for the pleasure.***Another opinion:A vampire bite could maybe do both of these things. I don't think it's completely clear how you would change into a vampire, or even if you just die once they bite you. From things that I've read, vampirism/vampires was/have been written as a disease, a mythological creature, and some kind of trend, like "cannibalism". There's definitely no shortage of theories out there.The example of a "Vampire" probably shouldn't be based off of Twilight though. I haven't seen the movies or read the books, but from things that I've heard, this "Edward Cullens" has no fangs, sparkles when he's in sunlight, and I think that there was something else that I can't remember. I've heard him called "the Sparkle Fairy", and I think I agree with whoever came up with it.In general, vampires are beings that cannot/don't go out in sunlight, drink the blood of their victims(I've also heard it explained as taking a beings life force, and that they "more likely" raped their victims, leaving them drained of energy.), and on occasion, change their victims to a vampire. (I think... it's been a while since I've looked these guys up.In "the Journal of Professor Abraham Van Helsing", Dracula was the first vampire (or demon) that started a disease that was spread by biting. The infected townspeople were easily killed though, but were then decapitated, their mouths stuffed with garlic and buried face-down in the ground. Fully "grown" vampires also had the ability to... "seduce"(?) their victims.A friend explained to me though, that in this "Twilight", in order to keep the vampires dead, they had to be ripped apart and burned. I guess that would work as well.When it comes right down to it, my thoughts are that the "vampire" should be left alone, and anyone that writes about them might just be better off to make their own blood-sucking creature... and give it a different name maybe. >.> But hey, that's just me.As far as what you do? Well... I've never been bitten by a vampire, and neither have any of my friends, but I guess that you'd normally go out and turn other peopel into vampires. But, please don't do that.
