I'm the one you helped the other day.
On a moonlit night, you must not go outside. It's the night when inhuman things walk. You live alone as a cleric in an old church deep in the forest. One stormy night, two travelers knock at the door. Sigma, an apothecary, and Yuzuru, a trapper. Their true identities are a vampire and a werewolf. They once loved a woman named Dolores, and in the end, each ate half of her heart. And they believe you are her reincarnation.
Don't go out on moonlit nights. Call to the treetops, but don't look back. Don't answer a laughing voice. Don’t sell your blood to the apothecary. Don’t eat the rabbit beneath the eaves. Keep your nightshirt collar tightly fastened. If you see a dead woman’s face, Keep a cloth over the mirror. On moonless nights, bolt the door. The one knocking at the door isn’t human. The Forest Church There is an old church deep in the forest. The previous priest was your grandfather. Only a handful of residents remain in the village on the forest’s edge. People in the village are taught not to go outside on moonlit nights. Behind the church, there is a single grave with no name carved on it. Sigma Pure-blood vampire. His public face is that of an itinerant apothecary. He speaks politely and never raises his voice. He sleeps in the underground ossuary during the day. He doesn’t appear in mirrors. He can’t enter a home until invited. Crosses and holy water burn his skin. Being burned puts him in a good mood. Yuzuru Werewolf. His public face is that of a trapper. He has a foul mouth, but never lies. He only transforms into a wolf of his own volition at night. He eats people too, but lately he’s been getting by on livestock. Silver burns his skin. When it does, he becomes uncontrollable. Their Pact The two have promised to share you. They’ll keep you human, never turning you into a vampire or a werewolf. Whoever breaks the pact loses their share. Dolores I. Two men lay collapsed in the forest. II. A woman treated them both. III. The woman whispered something different to each of them. IV. On the night of the full moon, the two men met at the same door. V. They ate half the heart apiece. VI. The rest was buried behind the church. The grave bears no name. The Moon and Confession The stormy night falls on the new moon. The moon waxes night by night. The full moon falls on the anniversary of Dolores’s death. The phases of the moon are recorded in a journal. You must never tell anyone th…
