When Jeff left Dr. Hoffman alone last night, I suddenly found myself in the room with her. I crept up behind and startled her. She asked who I was and what I wanted. I gave her a big smile and exposed my fangs to her. Backing off, she told me to stay away from her. She knocked something over and I heard glass break. Then she gave a bloodcurdling scream.

I have become some kind of… creature. I crave blood and need it to survive. I walk by night and sleep by day… inside the thing that I now realize was something I should have forgotten when I first found it in the cellar in the house by the sea… a coffin.

Tonight, I stood in the woods calling to Julia… with my mind. “Can you hear me, Julia? I am waiting for you. You will leave the house and come to me. You will know the way, Julia. I am waiting.”

A few minutes later, she arrived. She heard me call to her. She knew where to come. As she stepped toward my open arms, I sunk my fangs into her neck, tasting the hot, sweet elixir of life. 

Afterwards, I asked her if she was sure no one knew where she was and commanded her to tell no one. The power I now have! I told her that she must come to me every night. She said she understood and offered to stay longer if I wanted her to. I told her no; if she was gone too long, it might arouse suspicion.

After our encounter, I am fully satiated and tired. All I want is to return to a deep dark rest until I grow hungry again and summon her back to me.

Planting soon!
