A Vampire’s Diary
Sophie
My hubris has once again gotten the best of me. I was too bold. Too careless. Always before, I’ve pursued those who trusted me. Who knew me, if only in passing. But Sophie and I shared only a single dance before I asked her to stroll with me in the gardens.
When I gave the signal for my man to attack, I wasn’t as cautious as I should have been.
A servant witnessed the scene and alerted his mistress.
The commotion that ensued forced me to flee before I could be assured of Sophie’s demise.
I do not think she survived her wounding, but I cannot be certain.
I am gripped with anxiety. If she was still able to speak after the attack, to describe the course of events, my name will undoubtedly be mentioned.
There were too many people at the ball who saw me.
Who know who I am. Lillian cannot be my scapegoat this time.
Lillian must die. And I must leave this city to begin anew, somewhere else.
