Your footsteps echo in the alley around you as you rush forward, praying that you will get out
of this area in time. It is in the middle of the night, and the sky above you is a midnight blue. The stone below you seems
to tremble with a cautious anticipation. You know that something is out there. And it's coming for you.
You continue walking forward, trying not to run and show your weakness. Despite all of your best wishes,
you see a shape moving in front of you. You move closer and notice that it is a person. Someone seems hovering over them,
perhaps trying to revive them. The streets are dangerous at this time of night, and you have fear as you decide to help. You
run forward to attempt and save the victim, but find out that the citizen you thought was trying to help was actually....
biting them.
You take a step back as the murderer looks up at you, eyes flashing in the dark light. A street lamp
behind you is the only source of illumination in the entire alley. You are close enough to see glittering fangs smeared with
blood in the gaping mouth of the man hunched over a dying woman. You are so paralyzed with fear that you can't
move. With even more horror you realize that you know the person that is drinking the blood of a woman.
It's the same man that you have seen every night in your dreams for the past three years. He whispers your
name, announcing to you that he is glad that you decided to come. The body of the woman falls to the ground with a sickening
thud, and you begin to back up, knees weak.
"Finally.... I have chosen you. It is time."
he announced with a soft hiss, walking towards you. He turns so that you back into a wall, and he comes
up in front of you. He licks a bit of the blood from his lips and his dark eyes glitter. His skin is as white as parchment,
and he is dressed in all black. You know this from your dream, every night he comes toward you and.... bites your neck.
It is as if you are living your dream, and he gently leans forward and bites your neck. You convulse quickly
and fall to the ground. The last thing you see is him kneeling over you, cutting his wrist and bringing it to your mouth,
forcing you to drink his blood, becoming one of the creatures like him.
You have just been embraced.
