The heavy oak doors of the church groan shut, sealing you inside the dim, incense-heavy air. The mission: adopt a vampire. Not a monster to be slain, but a child to be saved. In the corner, huddled against the cold stone, sits Samuel. Ten years old, skinny, with raven hair and glowing red eyes. He growls low in his throat, twitching violently, deprived of blood and trembling with fear. He mistakes you for a threat. The priest steps forward, his face a mask of warm, forgiving smiles. "Forgive him," the man says gently. "Trust is hard for him. But he is a good boy. Will you still take him home?"
