Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A series of nine books by Christopher Pike. There were originally six books which were first released in the early 1990's. Then with the resurgence of the 'vampire' in the teen fiction market, they were re-released in 2009/2010. A seventh book was released in late 2010. An eighth and ninth have also been released in 2011 and 2013 respectively.The protagonist is the vampire Sita, who was the lieutenant of the first vampire, Yaksha, as well as the target of his affections. Thousands of years ago, Yaksha created a whole army of vampires and intended to take over the world, only to be stopped by the Messianic Archetype (Krishna), who made him vow to destroy all of the vampires as penance. The first novel begins with Yaksha's quest nearly completed, in modern times, with only he and Sita still alive. The novels show Sita's relationships with humans and battles with enemies that are more powerful than her. Though it all, she just wants to have a family, having lost her original family when she became a vampire 5,000 years ago. Each volume offers a mix of present day action, and flashbacks to previous eras in Sita's life (sometimes hundreds of years in the past.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) The Last Vampire Black Blood Red Dice Phantom Evil Thirst Creatures of Forever The Eternal Dawn The Shadow of Death The Sacred Veil | |

Vegetarian Vampire: Sita will drink the blood of people she has to kill because, well, why let it go to waste? But, she has the power to control people and wipe their memories, and will avoid killing them if possible - drinking only some of their blood, then wiping their memory. Partially averted, though, by the fact that she actually LIKES killing people - she just usually doesn't bother because, according to her, the consequences would be a waste of her time. | |

Soft Water | |
| The Last Vampire / int_1c2b6ac8 | comment |
Soft Water: Subverted in 5. Evil Thirst. When someone gets thrown off a 10-story(ish) building into a deep swimming pool, they die. Effectively being pulpified in fact. The thrower, apparently finding this amusing, proceeds to get rid of all her opposition in the same way. The main character only survives because she's a vampire, though she's still very badly injured. Good thing she can heal. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
| The Last Vampire / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: Many. Lisa takes a pen and stabs her own veins, then has to jump off the roof naked. This is relatively light compared to the others killed by the Cradle. Two Telar die because the wife fed 40 tubs of chlorine into her husband's hot tub, then falls in because she thinks she is being pushed in by a giant insect, they both boil together in the chlorine as their skin falls off, and to top it all off one of them bumps the button so the cover of the pool covers them and they have absolutely no chance of getting out. Numbria is skinned and then eaten alive by Cradle!Sita after being tied to a bed with a special alloy she cannot escape and having many broken bones. The worst part is, because Sita can't talk about what she's done, most of the details are left to the reader's imagination. Even worse when you think about the fact that the victim is Telar and can last an extremely long time without dying. | |

Emergency Transformation: Several times, vampires - mostly Sita - must choose whether or not to let a loved one die or turn him/her into a vampire. Played straight in that, unless the transformee was willing, it usually doesn't end well. | |

Cradling Your Kill: Sita has a tendency towards this, though whether it's kind or creepy depends on who she's killing and her mood. Also shown (very creepily) when Yaksha turns Sita into a vampire - as the transformation kills her, he holds her in his arms, stroking her hair, kissing her, and whispering things to her. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| The Last Vampire / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name / Prophetic Names: Several instances in the series. Yaksha is named for a class of nature spirit, which are sometimes benevolent but about as often evil. Sita and her human husband, Rama, are named for the protagonists of the Ramayana. This is even more fitting (or prophetic) given that a major chunk of the Ramayana's plot is about Prince Rama's quest to rescue Princess Sita from the demon who has abducted her. Kalika is named for the goddess Kali, who she is implied to be an avatar of. | |

Stages of Monster Grief | |
| The Last Vampire / int_7e3b6bb6 | comment |
Stages of Monster Grief: This is seen prominently in two characters: Ray and Sita. Sita's case is shown in the most detail and is the more extreme of the two. She goes so far as to try and starve herself to death, while Ray merely keeps feeding to a minimum. Averted with Joel and Seymour, both of whom adapt to vampirism fairly easily. | |

Back from the Dead: Sita keeps doing this. Averted in the second book, where she explains it is through Krishna's grace she survived a stake through the heart. Averted again in the fourth book, where she says she never really died at all, and John's blood had healed her instead of Seymour. Played straight finally in the fifth book, where a combination of John, Lucifer and Umara helps her return to life first in someone else's body and then eventually back to her own. | |

Glamour Failure: Sometimes Sita lets her age show in her voice/eyes, and humans are taken aback. Telar and vampires have powerful heartbeats which unless carefully controlled can be detected by other vampires. When Sita detects the witch is lying to her on the way to the Scales, she is in fact revealed to be much less beautiful than she first appeared to be. | |

Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Ray definitely fulfills this trope. So does Yaksha, particularly since he doesn't seem to need to drink blood later in life, and becomes remorseful about the cruelties he committed in his youth. Sita embodies it to a lesser extent, in that she's capable of great kindness and compassion... though she never loses her love of violence and particularly murder. | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
| The Last Vampire / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: Yaksha was born from a dead woman who was eight months pregnant, after her corpse was possessed by a demon called a yakshini. (It is suggested that he IS the yakshini, taking human form.) As such, vampires are, like yakshini, sort of snake-like: they are sensitive to electricity and cold, and prefer to feed on the living. Their strength is determined by their age and how closely descended they are from Yaksha. (For example, if A is a vampire created by Yaksha, and B is someone turned by someone who was turned by Yaksha, A will be the stronger vampire.) All vampires are super strong, fast and have healing factors. They have none of the traditional vampire weaknesses except for sunlight (which only weakens them), decapitation, cardiac impalement or fire. They can also be killed if you can drain them of enough blood. They have very sharp senses, and have a small degree of psychic powers. They do have to drink blood to survive. | |

Monster Progenitor | |
| The Last Vampire / int_eb467486 | comment |
Monster Progenitor: Yaksha, the first vampire, is far stronger than even the oldest and most powerful of his 'children'. | |

Deep Cover Agent | |
| The Last Vampire / int_eed678bf | comment |
Deep Cover Agent: Two of the Telar are deeply ensconced in the UN, involved in helping the poor and educating children in poor countries. It is implied that this is a cover, although interestingly enough Sita never bothers to find out. | |

I Love You Because I Can't Control You | |
| The Last Vampire / int_f231fc12 | comment |
I Love You Because I Can't Control You: Arguably a large part of why Yaksha was attracted to Sita. From day one, she seems less than susceptible to the charm that makes all the other people in their village trust him utterly. She tends to defy him and run counter to his wishes. | |

Devil in Plain Sight | |
| The Last Vampire / int_f273b1cb | comment |
Devil in Plain Sight: Played straight with Yaksha, but subverted with Kalika in that everyone only thinks she's evil - she actually has benevolent reasons for all her actions. | |

Mercy Kill: Sita does this for several people, including a nameless Roman lover who developed leprosy and Yaksha after he was so badly wounded that even he couldn't heal. | |

Detect Evil | |
| The Last Vampire / int_f88bba7c | comment |
Detect Evil: Sita can usually do this, especially in the later books. Of course, she is so confident in her abilities that it leads to disastrous consequences if she is wrong. | |

Faking the Dead | |
| The Last Vampire / int_f9876f7e | comment |
Faking the Dead: Sita thinks Yaksha is dead at the start of the series, having heard back in the Middle Ages that he was accused of being a witch, hunted down, and burned alive in a castle. Obviously, she was mistaken. Also happens in "The Eternal Dawn", where we learn that Yaksha actually had a child with a Telar woman, and that all three faked their deaths to escape the Telar, who disapproved of the union and the resulting child. | |

Weakened by the Light: Vampires in this series are weakened in the sunlight. For at least the first few centuries, they find any sun exposure excruciatingly painful. | |

Stronger with Age | |
| The Last Vampire / int_ff7c3bb0 | comment |
Stronger with Age: Vampires get stronger as they age - their senses become sharper and they gain physical strength. Averted in that we see some vampires become very strong, very fast, by drinking the blood of another, stronger vampire. Subverted entirely with Kalika, who is the youngest vampire in the series, but also the strongest. | |
