The young girl let a savage, bird-like scream out of her wounded mouth, and she tosses what seems like a feather up in the air.
As the feather vanish from everyone sight, people surrounding her understands that the scream weren't just for show, they were a call, and indeed, the call is answered by a multitude of hoarse screeches.
They came out in the sun, from everyone blind spot simultaneously, with their bones visible, their translucid skin glowing of a faint hue of blue, visible only in little spots, while all the rest is covered in red feathers. No one knew their name, obviously, but she knew, and she called them, in their language, and they talked, in a symphony of clicks, screeches and growls.
Suddenly, the two creatures stopped talking, and slowly turned their head against the nearest enemy, lowering their hips, swaying their tail, analysing their prey, and finally, they jumped.

Grace calls Horatio, Obedience's pet in life and death, out of the ether. He ppears as a ghostly form covered in soot, which trails behind him in wisps as he pads out from somewhere nearby- under a chair, out of a trashcan or closet, from behind her head and onto her shoulders.... Horatio was loyal to the end, and will "die" over and over again fighting ferociouslu for his girls, and fighting. Even when they were both alive, it was their ability to communicate across barriers that got Obedience killed. Now that they've crossed the ultimate barrier together, they can truly and clearly understand each other.
Horatio usually resides in Grace’s mindscape, along with the rest of the menagerie, unless Grace is in a place private enough that he can come out and play.
While Obedience's life force was tied to the tree, bitter as the bark and as slow to progress, Horatio was hidden from her; she was too unfamiliar and for awhile, taken to fits of rage. Horatio wasn't willing to put up with it directly, after a time. But he never went far, watching over her out of even her sight... the most loyal of cats, our beloved Horatio.

The Vampire is able to turn one of their victims into a lesser vampire, a pale shadow of a full creature of the night but useful nonetheless. Having drained and killed their target, the Vampire performs a brief ritualistic bloodletting, wherein they spill their own blood into the target's mouth, forcing them to drink, and bonding them together as child and sire.
Shortly afterwards, the fledgling vampire will rise from death, hungry for blood and eager to serve.
