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

Lilith’s dirk clashed against Morgan’s own weapon. It was a whip, not unlike Mary’s, only his was made out of something else, not leather, not steel. But human bone and sinew. 


It was one of the most disgusting things Lilith had ever seen, and her blade was unable to stand against it for more than a moment at a time.


Lilith ducked to the side, just narrowing avoiding the thunder and crack of the whip’s next throw as Morgan twirled the whip over in the air.


Lilith planted her feet onto her coffin and jumped into the air. Just in time, because the spine whip cleaved through the spot she had just been standing. Her coffin split in two, wood and splinters flying in every direction.


Lilith landed on the celling, and quickly pushed herself off it, landing back down on the floor in a crouch as Morgan pulled his whip back. For a moment, Lilith considered saying something, anything, to get through to her uncle.
