Romano sobbed himself to sleep and woke up to find he wasn't outside, nor was he in a familiar area. It was some kind of cave and there was an underground waterfall and a small pond. He was lying in a black silk and velvet-covered coffin. He slowly sat up and looked around. Where was he? The thought continued in his head.
"So you've awoken," came a mysterious, beautiful, soothing voice.
Romano turned to face a woman that matched her beautiful, soothing, mysterious voice. She smiled and looked deep into his eyes. It was staring to creep him out, so he looked away.
"Where am I, eh?" Romano asked, while looking around.
"Home," the woman mused. She looked like she could use some sun, she was so pale. Maybe she didn't get out much…
"Home?" repeated Romano. "No, this isn't home…"
"Yessss, it issss…." The woman hissed.
Romano only turned his eyes towards her direction. Okay, he was officially freaked out. Romano stood up out of the coffin and the woman immediately ran towards him, taking him in an embrace. Romano stood, wide-eyed at her action.
The woman breathed on his neck and he shivered. She licked her lips. "Lovino…" she whispered.
"How do you-a know my-a name?" Romano stared forward, in some kind of trance.
"I know…all about you…"
Romano broke away. "No!" he shouted, causing his voice to be echoed in the cave.
"Why do you resist?" the woman asked calmly and held out her arms, in a welcoming way.
"Resist?" Romano asked, repeating her words. "I-a…I-a…because I-a wanna!"
The woman chuckled. "You will come to me when you're ready. You've only become a vampire tonight."
"Vampire?" Romano questioned.
"Yesss," she hissed again. "A creature of the night…"
"Listen-a here, Lady," Romano began. "I'm-a not some personal enjoyment, you hear! Nor am I some-"
"Vampire?"
"Who-a are you, anyway? Stop reading my mind!"
"One of the perks," she smiled. "You may call me Ladyship…"
"I-a only call you what I want, eh!"
"Ladyship," the woman repeated. She stared into Romano's eyes and he stared back, in the trance again. She smiled and gestured for him to come closer.
"Ladyship," Romano, unconsciously, obeyed and fell into her embrace again. He closed his eyes, as she placed her lips on his neck. She hissed again and smiled as she dug her fangs into his soft neck.
Romano's world went black. The sound of a blood curdling shriek filled the air.
