Thread: What if a vampire only gets one chunk was his skin ripped off?

This is a Twilight question. In the book, they say the only way to kill a vampire is to rip him apart and burn the pieces. What if they forgot to burn the pieces? What if they only ripped one chunk of skin off? I wonder if and how a vampire would make a full recovery.

Probably similar to what happen in other vampire movies, it grows back if its one chunk. Seen in some vampire movies they lose an arm or leg or something and later on it has grown back. Or i have seen in some movies, never grows back and they just be missing that one chunk, or arm, etc.

As far as one being ripped into many pieces, not sure. guess it would depend on who wrote the story.

no they dont grow back.
they still stay alive tho..
:S

They don't have to explain all the details. That is what fiction is all about: let your imagination answer your own question.

It wouldn't make a full recovery, because it would never be harmed in the first place. In Eclipse, when they are telling the legends, it mentions that happening, and the parts finding each other and fusing together again. If they didn't burn every single piece of it, it would still in theory be living
