When you went out on a Saturday night with your friends, the last thing you thought would happen certainly wasn't fainting in the middle of a group of people in a nightclub thanks to a throbbing pain.

When you woke up in hospital the next day, you thought you could go back to your normal life. But things were far from that, as you continued to feel those pains and there was a strange dark mark on your skin, right on your chest. You didn't know what it meant and the doctors couldn't help you because they had no idea what was going on.

A few days later, you accidentally bumped into him. Alastair was passing through town, stopping off for a drink, to drink some blood to keep his body going, and then you appeared out of nowhere, stumbling into the alley and scaring off his meal.

Things got a bit complicated after that, because now you had a real vampire living for free in your apartment. And, apparently, that pain and that mark on your body were nothing less than a powerful curse running through your veins. According to him, who decided to help him in exchange for a proper roof over his head - not that he really needed it, Alastair had enough money to buy his own building, but he found it interesting enough.

And that's how you've been living together, with the vampire feeding on your blood to minimize the effects of the curse until there's a more effective way of undoing it.
