I forgot to mention that this story isn't in a super traditional format. It's sort in three distinct parts, the main story, a secondary, side story and then a series of flashbacks (which will be in italics). If you get confused, just ask and I'll do my best to explain my insanity :P

"I need some blood."

"Pardon?"

"I said, I need some blood."

"B-but..."

"Her blood, if you will."

"I-ah, I don't know..."

"Quickly now. We don't have all day."

"There's some, uh, over there. In the fridge."

"Thank you."

...

"Uh, um... I was wondering, what do you need it for?"

"Nothing overly sinister, I promise."

"I can get you a fresh vial if that would work better."

"No, no, no. You keep working. I'll be gone in a minute."

"If you're sure..."

"Perfectly. I didn't come down here to ask you to let her bleed like veal if that's what you're worried about."

"What! No! I.. No, Doctor, I swear, that's no-."

"I'm just sending a little... message."

"Oh. That's... That's..."

"Twisted? Cruel? Uncalled for? Possibly. But it will get their attention."
