Only a half chapter update this time because these backgrounds gave me soooo much grief... The rest of the chapter will be up after the new year! Please look forward to meeting Mr. Mysterious Man then hehehohohoho
Probably entirely unrelated to the story but the reflection thing made me remember this: The reason vampires don’t have reflections in most stories is because mirrors used to be made with silver which was considered a holy metal and the things vampires were negatively affected by were “holy” things such as sunlight, crucifixes and silver. (The garlic thing was just because garlic was considered an antioxidant and vampires were “infected” with vampirism) People who wrote more modern vampire stories didn’t know the reasoning used in the older stories and just assumed vampires altogether don’t have reflections.
One night at the turn of the 20th century, "Bellamy" wakes at the scene of their own murder turned into a vampire. Rather than being horrified, they feel liberated--finally able to express their true self in the fringes of human society after living a mundane, nihilistic life.
They don’t particularly care to bring light to the questionable circumstances of their turning, but the past begins to catch up to them the more time they spend with the mysterious man who turned them…
