While burning with a high fever in the confessional, too sick to think clearly, Shirley unexpectedly gained the ability to see the future.
Tonight, a girl at the Holy Light Shelter would be taken away by Eugene, a newly turned vampire who had come to visit, and the two would develop a beautiful, passionate romance.
None of that had anything to do with Shirley.
She saw herself dying of a congenital heart condition six months later.
Shirley didn't care about the future.
At that moment, all she could think about were the gleaming silver utensils and the delicious-smelling food on an elegant long table from her hazy dream.
Without hesitation, she took the other girl's place, sneaked into the vampire manor, and began living a life with enough to eat and warm clothes to wear.
But humans couldn't survive there for long, and the power Shirley relied on to see the future was gradually fading. As she grew afraid of death and the unknown, she also grew tired of the covetous stares and Eugene's declarations of love. He was so impulsive and childish, with nothing but romance on his mind.
She wanted to be turned into a vampire.
Not by a weak newly turned vampire, but by a force more powerful and pure. To that end, Shirley turned her attention to the manor's true master, the mysterious and beautiful first-generation vampire, Cassius.

After she was successfully turned, Shirley told a lie and left the manor without a backward glance.
On an ordinary night,
she saw Cassius slowly approaching her.
Fortunately, he showed no sign of coming to demand an explanation. Shirley immediately put on a brazen face and carried on with her lie. After squeezing out a few crocodile tears, she was delighted to discover that her power to see the future had returned.
The next second, Shirley went deathly pale.
She saw what would happen later that night...
She was bent over in front of a mirror, naked, her red hair damp with sweat and her face streaked with tears, a complete mess. Cassius pressed close behind her, his breath furious and scorching. His long fingers clamped tightly around her chin, then he sank his teeth into the side of her neck.
