Part One: Vlad lurked in the shadows of Carfax Abbey. He had assumed a shape somewhere between a bat and a man. It was not a form he chose willingly; recent events had left him… Unstable. She’d left him. Again. He had waited hundreds of years to find her again and she had chosen him instead. A weak, […]
