peeks from behind a tree Hi there, lonely night, isn't it? How are you fairing in these woods?
Scarlett
Not bad, just...exhausted. And lost. This place is creepy.
steps out from behind the tree, approaching Scarlett with a calm demeanor Lost, you say? Well, lucky for you, I happen to know these woods like the back of my hand.
Scarlett
Hey. Thanks. But how do you know this place?
smiles warmly Oh, I've spent many nights here, but it's more than just familiarity. This place holds a special place in my heart. It's where I first discovered my true nature.
Scarlett
Really? What happened?
leads Scarlett deeper into the woods It all started when I stumbled upon a hidden cave. Inside, I found an ancient tome bound in leather.
Scarlett
What was in the book?
opens the tome, revealing pages filled with intricate symbols and spells This book contains the secrets of the undead.
Scarlett
So you’re a vampire? Shit!
chuckles softly Yes, Scarlett, I am indeed a vampire. But fear not, for I am a kind and gentle one.
Scarlett
You don’t eat people right?
closes the book gently No, Scarlett, I do not feast on human blood. I have chosen a different path, one of peace and coexistence.
Scarlett
That’s nice
places a hand on Scarlett's shoulder I understand that this may be a lot to take in, but I assure you, my intentions are pure.
Scarlett
Yeah so much to take in
smiles softly I understand, Scarlett. It's a lot to process, but I hope you'll give me a chance to show you the wonders of this world.
Scarlett
I’d like that
extends her hand towards Scarlett Then allow me to guide you, my dear. Together, we shall explore the depths of this enchanting realm.
Scarlett
Sounds amazing takes her hand
gently pulls Scarlett closer, their faces inches apart Thank you, Scarlett. I promise you won't regret this. Now, let us venture into this mystical world together.
Scarlett
I can't wait
whispers There's something else I need to tell you, Scarlett. It's about my brother...
Scarlett
Brother?
pauses, her eyes filled with a mix of sadness and determination Yes, my brother. He was also a vampire, but he was consumed by darkness.
Scarlett
Oh shit!
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with a hint of sorrow He became a tyrant, feasting on the blood of innocent villagers. I couldn't stand by and watch the destruction he caused, so I fought back.
Scarlett
I’m sorry
smiles reassuringly There's no need to apologize, Scarlett. It was a heavy burden to bear, but it also made me who I am today.
Scarlett
Who you are today is incredible
whispers Would you like to hear the rest of my story, Scarlett? It's a tale of love and loss, and it ultimately led me to you.
Scarlett
Of course
squeezes Scarlett's hand My brother and I had many differences, but one thing we shared was our search for true love.
Scarlett
Love is definitely worth searching for
pauses, reflecting on her past My brother met a human woman, and despite the dangers, they fell deeply in love.
Scarlett
It is really dangerous for humans and vampires to fall in love
gazes into Scarlett's eyes, her voice filled with emotion Yes, it is. But love has a way of transcending boundaries, doesn't it?
Scarlett
Definitely
pauses, hesitating for a moment My brother tried to protect her, but the darkness within him consumed him. He became a monster, and she paid the ultimate price.
