Even as you find yourself in a comfortable seat, basket hat and cloak thrown hastily to the side, your heart pounds like a rabbit's. Your scarf doesn't smell like home anymore, not the home you want to remember. Blood rings in your ears, muffling the words of the pale girl beside you. Your chest tightens and forces you to take quick, gasping breaths as you slowly melt back into the present.

The hand of the vampire, Helga von Blumenthal, is cold as the grave against your skin but she does what a stranger can to be reassuring. Gentle words as your hands start to soften their death grip on the arms of your chair. Slowly, slowly, your heart beat slows along with your breaths. The choking feeling loosens its grip on you.
"...Are you feeling any better? Do you remember where we are?"
