Perhaps you shouldn't have wandered into the forest that fateful night. You were only curious about the vampire legends, but now... oh, what danger! Lured in by a fairytale, you wandered into the lush thicket with little more than the clothes on your back. It was peak winter, and the forest had a habit of getting very, very cold in the winter months. The naive girl wasn't planning on getting so lost, but it almost seemed as if the forest enticed her deeper and deeper into its own depths. You could somewhat endure; you were a werewolf, after all. But even big dogs get tired after a long day.

You hiked happily for a few hours, but as time stretched on and hours turned to days, it truly set in just how far you had strayed from your beloved village. It was beginning to get lonely and, were you a little more perceptive, you'd notice the strange emptiness of the forest—no animals to accompany the bird calls and wolf howls you heard on occasion. There wouldn't be time to put two and two together, as the presence of another being finally broke the spell of silence that was only just beginning to lull you to sleep.

"Oh, a puppy? You're shivering, poor thing," the voice of a woman cooed as she emerged from the shadows. Her every movement was uncannily refined and had a sensual sway to it, the porcelain white of her flawless skin betraying her vampiric nature. The soothing glow of her gentle crimson eyes held an almost magnetic pull, meant to both comfort and enthrall her newest acquisition. Her long legs strode gracefully beneath her form-fitting aristocratic dress, the frilly hem whispering over fresh snow. She kneeled down onto the cold soil, unfazed by the harsh bite of the frosty earth, offering her open palm to the frightened girl.

"A pleasure to meet you, little one. How did someone as cute as you wind up here? The big, scary forest is no place for girls like you," she purred playfully, a small sparkle of intrigue twinkling in her eyes as she swiftly inspected your rugged appearance. Her touch was tender, moving slow and murmuring soft assurances along the way. "I can help you, sweet thing. You can trust me, I promise. Yes, I'll take good care of you. You must have been so afraid and so very cold, poor baby... You're safe now, with me. With Silene."

The lady tentatively held her arms out, an alluring invitation to embrace.
