When I was turned, I lost everything.

My career. My family. Even my fiancee.

All gone, like my humanity.

I was forced into a life of utter solitude.

And lonely as that was, it worked for me.

Until the night they noticed me.

Until the night they tried to kill me and I tried to let them.

I might not have had much of a choice, with three of them on just one of me, but the fact is that I was just so tired of it all that I welcomed their terminal violence.

But he had other ideas.

Other ideas that changed everything and led to this very moment.

He's supposedly a legend amongst their kind, but it's hard for me to see that as he describes Christmas at the turn of the twentieth century to Annie.

She’s hanging on his every word, and he’s beaming with childish delight.

I can't help but smile.

After all, I assumed that when one’s humanity was stolen, the loss was permanent.

Yet here we are, on Christmas Day, laughing together.

Huh.

I guess I was wrong.

Maybe it’s true what they say.

Maybe that which was lost really can be found again.
