They call themselves vampires, love drinking blood, hate sunshine - and are very kinky.

Married couple Logan and Daley South founded the court around six years ago to provide a “safe haven” for all the city’s “awakened vampires” and “otherkin” which includes “werewolves, fairies and people who identify with animal spirits”.
They advise members - who include security guards, property managers, ex-military and actors - on how to drink blood safely and shield themselves from “psychic attacks”.
These psychic attacks are launched by so-called “Energy Vampires” who feed off people's positive energy in order to boost their own.
The members of the court truly believe that if they do not feed - or they spend too long in the sun - they will become ill or even die.
And Austin’s vampires are not alone - one census estimated there were 50,000 “vampires” in the US at last count.
There are three main types of vampire, Queen Daley explains, identified by their main source of feeding - either blood, sex or “energy”.
Daley, 30, told Sun Online: “You’ve got vampires who feed from blood - sanguine vampires - you've got vampires that feed directly from energy - psychic vampires - and you've also got vampires who feed sexually, not just from sex acts, but from the energy of arousal.
“You’ve also got vampires who feed from all three.
“I awakened as a sanguinary blood feeder 15 years ago but over the years I've learned to feed from other methods as well.

“So now I only really need to feed from blood about once a month and the rest of the time I feed from ambient energy in the room or from a crowd or from a donor I feel sexual energy from."
Husband Logan says the court’s preferred method of blood drinking is to use a lancet to prick the donor’s finger - not to "cut or slice” people.
“A lancet is a simple tool typically used by diabetics,” he explained. “You pull the end, you place it on the finger, you press a button and it creates a tiny little pinprick just right on the end of the finger, creating just enough blood flow for any vampire to get exactly what they need.
Logan and Daley live on a ranch in Austin with Logan’s girlfriend, a fellow vampire called Ilona Lucille Westerna, who is also his blood donor.
The couple has always had an open relationship - with Daley having her own partners too - saying they broke down “any notions of jealousy early on”.
Logan describes his wife as his “twin flame” and his girlfriend as his “soul mate”.
“From the moment that we got together we decided to have an open relationship and then shortly after that we decided to have a polyamorous relationship, which meant that not only could we play with other partners, but we could also love other people and that would be perfectly fine,” he said.

“We decided to break down any potential notions of jealousy early on and realise that the most important thing was that both of us were happy, both of us were fulfilled and we realised that we could be more fulfilled by having other people in our lives, both sexually and in a relationship.
Logan says he wakes up at about 6pm - just as the sun is about to set.
Sun Online was granted exclusive access to June’s meeting where a group of around 20 to 30 vampires - many wearing specially made fangs and brightly coloured contact lenses - gathered to greet the king and queen.
Once inside the group took part in an “energy shielding workshop” where they learned how to protect themselves from “psychic attacks”.
“A lot of us are Christian, lot of us are Catholic. There's all sorts of faiths.
“Thank God we can see ourselves in a mirror because I don't know how I would've gotten ready today - that would have been terrible.
“We don't burst into flame the sunlight, but it can make us very ill, very nauseous. A lot of people will actually spike a fever, tremors pass out, headaches, things like that are very common."
*Reality...
Things are happening in this world. Are these ones normal again?
