Wratha threw wide the curtains!

In a moment Karl woke up screaming -- and found himself chained to his bed. His cries gonged like great cracked bells as his skin peeled back and his blood boiled. The sun's rays were in his eyes, which blackened to craters in his head! His hair became smoke, while his limbs and various parts cracked open to issue jets of steam and stench! Through all of this Wratha laughed like a madwoman, dancing from one foot to the other in her excitement and hauling on a rope to drag Karl's bed more surely into the focus of the sunlight.

His body shrivelled and shrank; his vampire leech deserted him, came writhing from his bursting belly. Wratha closed the curtains and rushed to his side. Like Karl, his leech was fatally burned. Dying, it produced its egg -- and she had what she wanted! Of her own free will, she opened herself to the thing, which entered without pause to fuse with her flesh.

Now her agony would seal the contract. But the deed was done, and Wratha was exultant. At last she was Wamphyri.'
