Dear fellow reader, I'd just like to preface you with a couple of things. Firstly, I don't consider myself a writer.

Secondly, although this story does have a slow "prologue" (I would call), there will be some graphic scenes along the way, and I will put a warning if a chapter does contain any gory bits. Lastly, please no spoilers to new readers, but you all should know that. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Like dark fantasy? Mystery? Plot twists? Romance? Comedy? Action? All of the above? Well, I hope this story provides you with some type of enjoyment. Thank you! -RREN

In order to hide the sickness, she is kept in the luxurious manor house, only allowed in public for a couple hours.

A knock at the door. A soft voice, her mother. "Vigil? Did it happen?" The door slowly creaked open. Her mother cautiously inched toward her body, like a hunter approaching a half-dead wild animal. Not like a half-dead wild animal. Vigil was, at the end of the day, just that.
