Difference Between Vampires And Werewolves

Over the last couple centuries there have been many tales of the creatures of the night. Two of the most famous are Vampires and Werewolves. In the stories told of them they are almost always natural enemies. Fighting to the death over who knows what. Money? Power? Kristen Stewart? They’re alike in a lot of ways, but also different.
