I don't own Grave of the Vampire characters.
Charles Croydon thought he was always going to be with his vampire bride as he kissed her in their home. He loved everything about Sarah. Except when she rarely scowled at him if he never returned for many hours after searching for humans to kill. He smiled before he fell asleep with his arms around Sarah.
One hour later, the townspeople of Salem appeared and dragged a frightened Sarah to a stake. Wide-eyed, Charles viewed Sarah struggling at a burning stake. He ran from her. Charles never wished to view her suffering.
A certain spirit eventually materialized and always scowled.
