A mere breath of a word escapes Cecilia's lips--"undeath." As you become more fascinated, you feel yourself being drawn torwards Cecilia. The vampire looks away from the girl-woman who rests in her arms, and straight at you. You hear a voice suddenly in your mind. Spirit, join her. You may make her transition to My state less difficult, a sardonic smile flashes fangs at you through the night, though no less painful or unfortunate. The drawing becomes more intense. For a moment you are blind, and then you look at the world though Cecilia's eyes. The woman before you smiles, and again fangs flash silver in the dim moonlight. She unsheathes a small knife hidden in the sash which is tied around her waist. You feel the shiver of fear through Cecilia's mind at the sight of the knife, and her sudden pang of doubt about the one who she has named Stranger in her mind. She looks at the knife for a moment, and you hear the mind-voice again. Pure silver, forged in the ancient days when I walked as a mortal.

• You discover that you now have a physical body which is not Stranger's, Cecilia's, or Andrew's.
• You have no physical body, and decide to poke around while everybody else is still out of it.
• You notice that sunlight is creeping in through the window- WAIT A MINUTE! If your guess is right (it is) and there are at least two (unconscious) vampires in this room, shouldn't the window be closed? You go to see if you can close it.
