I awoke in complete darkness, with only the sound of little feat of mice or rats scattering across the cold hard floor I feel under my lifeless body. How I got here is a mystery even to me, even more of a mystery is who I am. From my perspective of time I feel like I might have been lying here for three or four days, but it could most likely be less. I have no memory of anything before this moment. I cannot move or even feel the sensation of anything beyond my torso. “Are you awake my childe?”, comes a whisper from above. I cannot come up with the strength to clench my teeth let alone try to speak. “I pray the rodents haven’t drove you to insanity”, no longer a whisper but rather a deep low voice, mesmerizing. I feel pressure on my chest, pressing down. “The heart still beats, I can only imagine how hungry you must be my friend.” Hungry? Yes, I have been very hungry. “I’m sorry I couldn’t have come to you sooner, but these are dangerous times and I couldn’t risk endangering either of us. I have something for you but I cannot stay, I will leave you again but hopefully when I return you will at least have enough strength for speech. Here, drink.” The warm droplets splashed against my lips, I could feel them working their way into my mouth, gathering into little pools and slowly running down my throat.
