Chapter 73

"Alex first approached me two years ago," Kristie started. "Apparently he had been looking for someone just like me. Someone that looked unassuming and could fit in here. Get close to you and eventually lure you to him. He captured my daughter, Sybil, who is in her fifties. I haven't been with her since she was a teenager." Kristie paused for a moment. This part of the story was very emotional for her. "I was turned when she was fourteen, and the person who turned me took me prisoner. She tried to get me to become a vampire, but I refused. Her name was Constance, a very old vampire, probably older than Alex. For some reason, after a few years, she just disappeared. Perhaps she got tired of trying to turn me, or maybe she just found someone else more interesting. Either way, I eventually escaped when I realized she wasn't coming back."
