Willow Faron was a girl with big dreams. She dreams of helping people and making sure they would come home to their parents after helping them at her clinic in Portland, Oregon. But the day after she opened her clinic/home, she found it robbed, and her robber was a vampire. 

Caught between two worlds and forced to serve the vampire as their only human doctor under a Blood Oath, Willow’s dreams have turned away with the setting sun. Only the vampire in question draws her further and further into the Underground, a fantastical world where myths and fairy tales come to life.

And what’s more, Willow doesn’t want to say no.

***
Heaven help her. 

Willow didn’t know what came over her. She didn’t know why she did why she pressed her palm against Lilith, and ‘kissed’ her.

Was it the night's events making her frisky? Or was it simple desire?

Willow didn’t know, and she didn’t care.

Venipuncture

Willow checked the security camera once again and frowned. It had been a few days since Lilith last came around, and since then, Willow took the time to set up a few cameras around the outside of her clinic. Thanks to Jan and Us’ gold coin, which was worth a surprising amount at a pawn shop, she was able to afford it.


But instead of finding Lilith entering and leaving like Willow had expected (and slightly hoped to find), she instead found a curious, hooded figure lurking around during the after hours. Not every day, nor in the same time frame, but it had happened enough for Willow to be wary. 


She looked over the footage again from her personal computer as she chowed down on her cup of microwave ramen. Dinner of the gods, truly, but Willow wasn’t in the mood to eat anything else.
