​

Emily's mind was reeling as she stood in her apartment, the phone still clutched in her hand. The voice on the other end of the line had been unmistakable - it was Victor, the vampire who had turned her all those years ago.

​

She hadn't heard from Victor in decades, and she had assumed that he was long dead. But now, it seemed that he was back, and he was looking for her.

​

Emily's thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. She hesitated for a moment, wondering who it could be, before cautiously making her way over to answer it.

​

When she opened the door, she was surprised to see a young woman standing in the hallway. The woman was dressed in a long, black coat, and her eyes seemed to bore into Emily's very soul.

​

"Can I help you?" Emily asked, trying to keep her voice steady.

​

The woman smiled, revealing a pair of razor-sharp fangs. "My name is Sabine," she said. "And I have a message for you from Victor."

​

Emily's heart sank as she realized that Victor had sent someone to fetch her. She knew that she couldn't resist - not now that Victor had found her.

​

"What's the message?" Emily asked, trying to keep her voice neutral.

​

Sabine's smile grew wider. "Victor wants to see you," she said. "He has something important to discuss with you."

​

Emily nodded, knowing that she had no choice. "I'll come with you," she said.

​

Sabine nodded, and stepped aside to let Emily pass. As Emily walked out of her apartment, she couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation. What did Victor want from her? And what would happen when she saw him again?
