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 stood before her old home and found it to be the gates of hell. She checked the surrounding buildings, and found, thankfully, no sign of a hanging. Everything appeared to be as she left it.


“Ethel,” Mary began. “Are you ready?”


“…No,” Lilith said, and placed one hand on the handle of her dirk. “But let’s get this over with anyway.”


The two headed inside, with Lilith opening the door with forced bravado that she didn’t truly feel.


The front entrance looked the same as it always hand, but the foyer, where chairs and tables awaited them, roared with a lit fireplace, and a freshly brewed pot of tea sat on the coffee table.


And poking out from the left-hand chair, was a strand of blonde hair. Lilith moved to dart forward, but a hand on her shoulder pulled her back. She glanced toward Mary, who held up a finger to her mouth. The universal signal for ‘be quiet.’
