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

The following morning, Lilith still didn’t feel any better, even as she rode through town, covered in a heavy hood, sunglasses, and sunscreen with Willow. 


“…I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen your car,” Lilith said. 


“Have you ever ridden in cars before?” Willow returned.


“Of course, I have,” Lilith replied. “I just don’t own one.”


“…Okay, but what if you needed to leave it for whatever reason?”


Lilith didn’t have the heart, or the strength at the moment, to say the actual method, so she settled for leaning back, and thinking about Morgan. He hadn’t shown himself since last night, nor had he made any moves against any other Myths, as far as she knew.


That meant he was biding his time or was running out of town.


Neither option sat well with Lilith, but she had no idea what to do next.
