Imprinting
Imprinting happens when a vampyre feeds from a human (or vampyre and fledgling or vampyre and vampyre) The two who are imprinted become very close and can feel each others emotions and physical pain. Imprints are painful to break and can sometimes wear away over time due to loss of contact. But if they aren't broken they last until one of the imprintees are dead.
An Imprint between vampyre and human doesn't occur every time a vampyre feeds. Many studies have been performed to try to determine exactly why some humans Imprint and some do not, but though there are several determining factors, such as emotional attachment, relationship between the human and the vampyre pre-Change, age sexual orientation and frequency of blood drinking. There isn't a way to predict with certainty whether a human will Imprint with a vampyre.
Imprinting (Fledgling – Vampyre): Due to the possibility of an Imprint, fledglings are prohibited from drinking the blood of vampyres, but they may experiment with each other. It has been proven that fledglings cannot imprint one another. However, it is possible for an adult vampyre to imprint a fledgling, this leads to emotional and physical complications once the fledgling completes the Change that are often not beneficial for either vampyre; therefore, blood drinking between fledgling and adult vampyre is strictly prohibited.
