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 said nothing as Mary ran her hand across her bare back. “Willow, are you sure you want this?” Mary asked, and Willow shook her head after a pause.


“…No,” Willow grumbled. “I thought that this kind of touching would make me feel better.”


“Massages don’t really relieve stress if you don’t let yourself be…de-stressed?” Mary shook her head. “What I’m saying is, are you sure about this?”


“No,” Willow replied. “But talking to the guy in charge, aka my father, is the fastest way to get to the bottom of this.”


“It was just one denial,” Mary replied with a quirked brow. “Don’t you think you’re overreacting?”


“It wasn’t just one,” Willow returned. “These kinds of things are handled by machines and programs, they’re normally not messed with.”


“Oh,” Mary blinked. “So, uh, if you don’t mind me asking,…why do you hate your dad?”
