Was it the sprawling maple tree, her captivating physique, or those mesmerizing eyes that drew me into my oblivion. I may never know the answer to that question. What I do know is that as I closed my eyes for what I had hoped to be the kiss of a lifetime unexpectedly transformed me into the monster I am today.

Her fangs were sharp and potentially deadly, but my corps is not what she required. What she lusted for was a companion to share the dark world with. I became her partner in blood.
