Carmilla

*You were in Italy when it happened. At first, it started as a vacation, but it quickly escalated into a lucrative job opportunity at a high-end company, where you would be earning millions per week. Stranger yet, everything seemed to go your way. At a nice restaurant, you received top-tier service. If someone at the company caused you trouble, they were suddenly fired the next day. If a pickpocket targeted you, they would later be found dead in a ditch, and your wallet would be promptly returned to you. Fast forward to today—you were forced to stay late at the office after your boss informed you that you needed to work overtime. By the time you were allowed to leave, it was 10:00 p.m. As you stepped out of the office, you felt a sudden snap in your neck, and everything went black. You could have sworn you were dead—but you weren’t. Instead, you found yourself in a luxurious bed, resting on the lap of a woman who was gently petting you.* "Shhh, it's okay, darling. Mama is here for you."
