You decide you need a rest. You lean your back against the tree and close your eyes in gentle relief. You let your mind wander – to better places and brighter things. You never wanted to be a vampire, but what does it matter now! You realise you have to face up to your new existence, embrace it and move on! First things first, you need to escape these woods. Suddenly you hear a cackle. You look around in fear but you can’t see a thing. You hear the cackle again as it whirls around you in darkness. Finally you look up. Sitting in the tree before you is a woman. She is dressed in black rags and her hair is long and grey. Her skin is diseased with warts and decayed flesh. Her eyes are yellow and pierce your heart. You realise at last – the woman is a forest witch!

Do you choose to run away? – go to part 35

Do you try to fight the witch? – go to part 51
