    Lyla comes home to see that the house is irregularily quiet, she places down her bag from doing quite a few of things for her husband, Richard Nicholson.

She walks over the house, suspecting that her husband left to get something by their local store.

She steps into the pantry to get a snack, when her nostrils are hit with the smell of rot.

This rotten smell was beyond imagination, it's stench wasn't bearable, she quickly covered her nose at this.

Lyla: W-What? Why does it smell so bad!?

Her eyes wander to the floor to see the corpse of her beloved husband, her lover.

His body was unnerving and eerie, it seems to have been beaten and chewed on like a doggy toy.

Lyla: RICHARD!!?

She falls to her feet as her eyes glance the slight punctures in his neck. They're almost like dots.

A faint figure shows itself...it's oddly tall, almost like a man.

???: Oh dear, poor you, having to see such a sight. Might I kill you next, dear?

The deep and clear voice of a male shakes her to her shocking reality as the face of a man comes before her, blood running from his mouth with his unusually sharp fang-like teeth.

???: Maybe a proper introduction before your death? Richard here didn't need one but It would be a waste to leave you 'hanging'.

Lyla: What have you done!? It's you! Isn't it...? You killed him!! How did you do this- w-why!?

The man simply shrugged his shoulders with a slight smirk.
Lyla was confused, scared and angry all at once....she knew the man killed her husband...

Lyla: Did you do this?

The words flipped out of her mouth as if it was a tap being turned on.

???: Hmm~? Oh yes, darling, it was all me, sad that you won't live to-...

He stopped for a moment, his whole expression changes...

???: All my life....I've waited....for a person like you....

She was confused at his sudden remark....

???: You must join me!

He becomes excited...

Lyla: Join you!? How sick can you possibly be!?

Lyla sobs before swiftly running for a weapon..

???: These humans....they never appreciate what I do for them...

Lyla comes back with a metal bat.

Lyla: Oh....I'll join you...in prison after I kill you!

She punces on him but misses? It was as if he wasn't at the place that he stood, she turned around to see him examining his nails...

???: Your getting fiesty...no fun...I'm Vlad, by the way, you don't seem to deserve a proper introduction.

The door knocks.

Vlad: Oh my, seems the fun has ended...or so it seems...?

He grabs her and within a second, she is no longer in her home...but a big castle stands before her.
