You walk down the street, the light of the full moon illuminating your surroundings. Suddenly, pain hits you like a blow to the stomach, making you double over. Your head jerks backs as your joints crack and creak, snapping as your bones break and rearrange themselves into a different form. Fur sprouts in patches on your skin, your fingers and toes curl into paws, and your spine lengthens into a tail. When the transformation is finished, you lay there, panting, on your side. Your eyes flicker, immediately seeing better in the dark. Your nose twitches, taking in scents you had never had the power to notice before. You feel strength course through you as you stagger to your feet.
What are you now? Well, you are a wolf.
You walk down the dark street alley, taking a shortcut home. As you step into the darkest of the shadows, you hear a footstep behind you, and the hairs on the back of your neck tingle. As you start to turn around to see what's there, you are knocked down, the wind leaving your lungs in a hiss as something lands on top of you. Before you can react or call out, searing pain engulfs the side of your neck, and you feel warm, sticky blood on your skin. And, before you know it, darkness engulfs you.
When you wake, you are lying in the middle of the alley, surrounded by a pool of blood. You sit up groggily, putting a hand to your forehead. You start when you find your skin icey-cold, and... What's that? As you put a hand to your neck, you feel two puncture wounds. As you ponder this, you notice something else. You have no pulse. And you seem to see perfectly fine in the darkness. And... There's this new hunger.
What happened to you? Well, you were attacked. And now, you are a vampire.
