A pomme de sang, or "apple of blood," refers to a person who has agreed to feed a vampire regularly. In vampire society, the pomme de sang is a submissive but valued position, similar to a "kept man or woman" among humans. Pommes de sang are protected from interference by other vampires, and are typically given gifts and otherwise treated as a human might treat a lover. While a pomme de sang is not a vampire, it is treated as well as one and protected by the Kiss. To harm another vampire's Pomme De Sang is considered a grave transgression. On the flip side, offering your pomme to another vampire is considered an honor and a sign of respect (some high ranked vampires often expect this on visits to a city).
