"Vampire. Is the word you're looking for. I'm sure you've read stories, fictions. Well where I'm from, those fictions are very very real. I was betrothed to a man who made my mind his, destroyed all semblance of the girl I was, and then turned me into this. But I've adjusted. Adapted because this is my life now. And this is how I've lived my life, trying to be as human as I can for what I am, but never ever forgetting the dangers. You don't forget, place like home, place like this. You can't. And I'm sorry Bertie but I had to show you."

It's a start, there's money enough to live on and people who'll teach you how to live in this world. It's not going to be easy and I won't lie and tell you it is. But you'll meet good people here. If you're willing to take a chance and trust me."
