The night before we were to present the blade I was stolen away in the night after tending our horse, by a thug who worked for the crazy man in the woods. The crazy man had no name or if he had a name it was long lost to him and the town. He talked of science and blasphemy and wanted me for an experiment that had not worked on others. See other girls had disappeared before me, their bodies found on their door step in various states and all died or were dead on discovery. Now I knew why.
He only had enough time to do few things to me, Forcing me to drink strange substances that tasted horrible. One of which looked like melted silver but was cold as ice, before we were discovered by Erasmus. I could barely believe when Erasmus destroyed the crazy man before turning to me. Blood dripping from his mouth. "I am sorry sweet one. I shall give you a choice. You may die easily with no pain, I can bring you to your father where your last breaths will be in agony, or I can turn you into one of my kind. There will be some pain but you will live for eternity." He said soothing. "Change me." I had gasped. And he nodded swiftly biting me. I was given to my father to bury for closure while I transformed. Erasmus then guided me in my new life. A new father.
