In this morning, a villager has seen a vampire transforming back to a bat. Now they're warning that people should lock their house and windows to protect their lives from those dangerous vampires when night comes.
The information from the newspaper has been spread to the village where the woman lives. All the attention from the village comes to the bat that the woman raises. She adopted it when she was 6, she said that the bat looked so nice to herself, the villager and her family felt strange about her decision to adopt the bat, but they really don't mind so much about that in the next few days. And now they heard that the bat can be a vampire. They told the woman that they need to slay the bat she's raising, but she refused.

The woman also locked her house like others. When she finishes brushing her teeth to go to sleep, she wishes the bat can stay alive longer and doesn't turn into a vampire like other villagers told her. One of her wishes was true, and the other won't ever come true... Her bat was already a dead vampire, its eyes immediately turned red, like human blood. Like a sign that the bat now has an opportunity to become a mighty vampire for a very long time, like a thousand years ago...! It shot a small black dot to the woman's hair when she heading to her bed, seem like a blessing or a curse from the bat to her...
The night is still peaceful at last. The Moon is still as white as it is, there are a lot of stars up in the sky. The villagers are still sleeping in their comfy bed, some are hugging a lot of garlic while sleeping, some put a lot of silver weapons next to them, and some get a lot of bottles of holy water. And about the woman, her door is made of hard silver, she set up a lot of garlic she just bought behind the window as a surprise protection. She also uses combine silver spoon and fork to a cross, not sure if it will work, but she got a real cross already so she no need to worry about that. Lastly if a vampire broke into her house they immediately got splashes with holy water on the ceiling. Everything is still calm and poof.
The bat finally transforms into a vampire, the first thing he do is to wake the woman up. When she sees a vampire in front of her eyes, what is she going to do? Obviously, scream as loud as possible and grab her weapon ready to defend herself. But the vampire covers her mouth up, preventing her from making any loud noise. Surprisingly the silver and the cross do nothing on him, even when touched his body, head or hand. The vampire said:
- Dear my owner... I must thank you for 30 years for raising me, so I already give you a blessing that will protect you from those hungry bats, but it will cost you a price, a price to your heath, to your behavior. It won't make anything really bad for you... Good luck dear my owner...
When the vampire stops talking, her skin slowly turning white in front of her own eyes. She rushes to the bathroom to see herself in the mirror. She notices that her brown natural hair is turning pure black. Her eyelashes grow longer and much thicker, her lips are turning pure black too...
The vampire flies though the window full of garlic as protection, at the same time the holy water drops and splashes a big amount to his own body, yet he doesn't get any kind of damage to himself, he also grabs a garlic start eating it as a snack before meal.
The woman's hair starts to fade black, like how many poor lives in this village get stuck in by the vampire's teeth. It alerts all the vampire to come, they start digging in. Screams, loud door slams, glass breaking just to result as a poor soul got consumed by those savage vampire.
Her yellowish skin starts to become white, her blue eyes turning black, looking like a lifeless human turning to a vampire. Like the lives outside the village, everyone all tries to fight back to help each other, bonding to a strong family. They try so hard to protect everyone, but the vampire is too crowded for them... Now everyone is dead, no more hint of living. All familiar faces and her loved ones are dead... They no longer have a chance to come back anymore. Like her current form, she tries to drink the medicine that her trusted doctor in order to stop her body changing, it won't work at all. She can't get the from that she knew that was herself. She can't bring it back like she can't bring back the poor souls from the people who support her....
She ran to the door, opened it and looked outside. Dead bodies are everywhere, flesh, organ are everywhere. There's still bloodstain and bite marks from those vampires trying to get the last droplet of blood. Those vampires are leaving. She ran outside and screamed loudly, but none of them responded, except the bat that she raised. It smiled at her and transformed to a bat and flew away. Leaving her staring at him go.
Now the village is only her left, not sure if those poor villagers can recognize her ever again in this new form. Her short brown hair, yellowish skin, blue eyes now turn to black long hair, white skin and dark eyes and mouth. Like her vision, everything has no more color for her anymore, no more life for her to be happy anymore. She is left alone, only she is a survivor...
She inspects her loved ones' dead bodies. They don't have any blood left, only a lot of bite marks that pierced their skin. They all are giving a strange scent; it makes her mad at those vampires.
She finds herself in a dark corner, she sits down and tears up. She cried, she screamed, her face was wet by her tears. Those vampire and dead body just couldn't stop flashing to her mind. She felt overwhelmed, she felt overloaded by her annoying mind. Her brain is getting more chaotic and crazier. It keeps saying: "Make a dress from those dead" ....
She broke down and screamed extremely loudly, she ran to one of the dead bodies and she grabbed a bone from their teared-up body. She repeatedly smashes it to the wall, she throws it. She does anything to break the bone to many pieces and collect those. She even broke their teeth and collected them.
She tears all the victims' clothes, and she ran to her house. She dips all the clothing into black ink to make it black forever. She starts cutting, sewing, knitting to make the perfect dress, she sticks the bone fragments and teeth to her dress for perfect decoration.
The perfect dress is completed. She grabs the heels she makes when she makes for a competition, and she placed 6th. She feels very unfair because all the heels design are so boring. She takes the long sock and glove when she was gifted as her birthday presents, she dips it in black ink too. She equips those on, admiring the perfect work she has done.
But she feels that there's something missing for her most perfect outfit in her life. She ran outside again, uncontrollably searching for the last important thing for her masterpieces. While she was searching, she fell to the ground, and saw a bunch of black and grey flowers, with a message that said:
"Those flowers are the children in your village. Since I don't want to kill them, so I turn them into flowers to prevent those vampires taking their life, treat those flowers nice so the children can return to its own form, otherwise if you make it dies, you know what happen. You don't need dirt or anything special for those, just give them water and sunlight."
Seeing this with the message show her that she isn't the only one, she is not alone. Those kids are her favorites guests, she often makes clothes for them so they can play with one another.
She finally calms down, carefully picks up the flowers and walks to her house back again. She put those flowers on her head and got a few spare bones for decoration since she doesn't have anything left. Her perfect outfit has been done.
Every day, she goes outside to gather the sunlight for the flowers, give them water from a river. She tries to explore to seek a new village, she hopes she can protect them from those vampires. If she finds nothing and the night has come, she returns to her homeland, which is only she left. She buried everyone separately, wishing them for a better life and hope to get blessed from them every day. She went to make some clothes for the children and put the flowers on a vase with the hope that they could get to their normal form....
