Everything in the world is scientific. Modern science just hasn't gotten there yet.
Vampirism is more of a variation of humanity, onset by a venom. It slowly poisons the body, twisting it from the the inside so that the person craves blood and needs it to survive. There is no cure. No magic bullet, no "alpha" to kill to get back to normal. Vampires who try to resist the bloodlust face a constant battle with themselves, and the more they drink, the more they succumb. Therefore, if a vampire is lucky and doesn't get caught and killed, he or she either loses him/herself, or he/she commits suicide. Doesn't quite have the glamour of legend, now does it?
You think that's bad? Just wait.
It's a given. Humans are still very much reigned by fear and ignorance. People fear change. Ancient, outdated institutions continue to exist simply for tradition's sake. One such institution is a vampire hunting society located in modern-day Los Angeles, whose roots trace back for centuries. Yeah, remember all the "witch" executions throughout history? The society was deeply rooted in religion. The society's first branch in the New World was in New England. Thanks to a sense of nationalism and expansion, the society branched out to L.A., where it operates to this day, under the guise of a high-security, private pest control company. And in their own minds, the pests were the vampires.
