I woke up with a start .  I looked around shakily,  hoping the strange man wasnt here . Then i realized i was alone . I calmed down and stood up . I was still at the cemetery . I felt so weak, i could barely stand. I tried to walk to the bench, but stumbled many times . So i crawled,  when i got to the bench for the first time i realized it was still night and that i was freezing. It was only fall and it wasnt snowing.  Yet i felt like i was on the very top of a mountain.  " What the heck is going on? "  i asked aloud. Within a few minutes i was able to limp- walk . I began walking through the town. But... i was walking aimlessly,  with nowhere to go . I began looking for someone who could help me . I looked around,  noone would be out now.  I  saw a store called Magic For The Modern Witch,  i walked over to the odd store. I tried the door,  it was open!  I walked inside there was an old women  re-organizing shelfs full of sage,  yarrow,  incense,  etc. I walked towards her and asked in a hoarse voice,  " Can you help me mam? "   The  lady dropped everything and rushed toward me . She reminded me of my grandmother before ...... " Whats wrong child?  " I told her about the strange man and how he attacked me .  She rushed over to a book  and brung it back over . She then touched my forehead and said something i couldn't understand . When i thought she was done i asked " Do you know whats wrong with me mam? "  She said  " yes,  what is your name child?  "  " Victoria Moon  mam . "   " child "  she whispered "  you've been bitten ". I gasped in horror " no,  no it can't be,  i,  i cant be bitten "  . Bitten was a word i knew everyone in town knows what it means .   "  Victoria Moon " she said "  take take this "  she handed me some kind of liquid i drank it . It tasted foul  like raw meat . She then gave me a knife,  not unlike the one i had . The man had taken it when i was unconscious . "  mam are you sure you havent made a mistake  , i mean i just cant be bitten . " She gave me a sad look . Then she said,    " look at your hands ."  I looked down and  indeed there they were on my wrists,  the mark of them,  the vampi
