companionship of a human.
Unlike you, I never gave up my conscious being and I still adhere to the rules and principles that governed my human life. So I will share the bare necessities with you. It might appear to you that you understand what has happened to you since the transformation, but there is much that you will have to experience on your own. As I have created you, albeit under conniving circumstances, I shall give you the basic tenets of what you need to know in order to survive.
You must avoid all forms of daylight. You must immediately seek shelter as your first daylight period approaches. Religious symbols when properly prepared and consecrated with unwavering faith are also deadly. There are various forms of elixirs made by people of the villages to ward us away from their cattle and people: Many are useless but others are not. Approach them with caution. Do not attract unnecessary attention. People are changing; they no longer hide behind their myths and ghost stories. They pursue us like they do any other adversary so choose your victims carefully. Better yet, purchase cattle and keep them yourself. Animals are always safer. Human blood will make you reckless as a human drinking too much wine.
Remember that money always tames the biggest fears, so always have some with you.
I leave you now to whatever fate awaits you. If you do not change, your anger will consume you and turn you into an even more hated creature then you were in your village. You have time now, use it well and allow it to heal whatever scars have been cast upon you. Search to find what you have lost in life, so you can cherish it in death. Make something out of your death other than the creation of pain and suffering for others.

Christina stared at the note for a few seconds, and then stuffed it into her bodice. She made a conscious reminder to revisit the note at a later time…how much later, she didn’t know. But right now, she had some things to take care of and headed off in the direction of her old home, her old village. She wanted to pay a visit to her family, her friends and especially one man.
She would show them that she had overcome their use of her to achieve their own selfish goals. Yes…she would show them that their judgment of her was wrong…dead wrong.
C HAPTER F IFTEEN yet I am not sure if it is the effect of the creatures influence or my own thoughts which are causing my attraction for her… 20 October 1944
Our non-violence agreement holds. The creature has made no offensive gestures toward me or any of the other men. At times I detect an air of arrogance in her demeanor, as if she’s just toying with us and that she could have her way if she chose to. Yet at times she appears to want something from us. I just don’t know what it is yet. She is indeed an enigma on so many levels.
As to her requirements for sustenance, she does not desire nor is she able to eat normal food. All that she requires is blood from a living organism. We keep her fed with animals purchased on local market. The blood from them seems to satisfy her although I do not see the same extreme vitality she exuded when she killed the two men and fed on them. I suspect that the animal blood, although it can sustain her life, does not produce the same euphoric effect on her body as human blood.
I have held several conversations with her and find her to be extremely intelligent and captivating. I have to remind myself of the gruesome assault she performed on my men. This is another trait that the civilian warned me about; this potential for her to infiltrate based on her physical and mental qualities alone would be highly formidable. I regret having to terminate him, he could have been useful in my understanding of this creature, but he left me no choice.
I have discovered that she possesses a remarkable memory of the period from the late 1800’s to the 1920’s. However, when I questioned her about her own past and how she became
