Chloe's life of solitude is interrupted by a knock on her window. A man's voice, begging for reply-to be let inside. She's half convinced she's gone insane, but that's alright. The way Chloe sees it, as long as she doesn't invite her mysterious night-time visitor inside, everything will be fine. All she's gotta do is ignore it. Piece of cake, right?

"Um... hello.
Wow, this is weird. I was never much of a babysitter. Nice to meet you, I guess. Probably could've been under better circumstances. Or worse. Definitely worse.
They told me you need stories? I can't say I get it, but then the whole magic thing was confusing even before the world ended.
I guess my most interesting story is pretty obvious... not that you know it, of course. Not that you know much of anything... wow, this is fucking morbid.
Okay, well, I've never told anyone this story before. Not in its entirety. Never really wanted to. I mean, to begin with, it's freaking weird, right? Like, unbelievable. Well, it was unbelievable. Now, it's like, not even a seven on the 'crazy-things-that-have-happened' scale. Maybe that's why I'm here. To ease you into it all. Tell you about the scary and normal vampires before you move onto, I don't know, God.
Oh, fuck, I'm rambling, aren't I? Sorry, it's just... this is really uncomfortable. Sitting in a room and talking about the worst things that have ever happened to me to a fucking vegetable.
Well, it wasn't all bad, I guess. It was worth it, even. I definitely wouldn't have said that back then, obviously. I mean, I was fucking terrified back then. But I was also terrified of my fucking shadow, so how's that any different than usual?
Okay, story... story... I'm just gonna get straight into it. You don't need to know about the... before. All you really need to know is that I moved into my granddad's old cottage, and one day, out of nowhere, I started hearing voices. One voice.
His voice."
