You somehow managed to avoid biting anybody with those
poisonous fangs of yours
and made a pretty bit
of cash to the
gawkers.
And coincidence of coincidences
you made friends with the
gypsy fortuneteller
and discovered she was 20 and would turn
21 the same day you did.
Not that you knew it at the time
but there were
otherworldly forces at play
here
solely concerned
about creature such as you.
It was Elvira,the fortune teller who
discovered
the ancient book of supernatural
lore
which
mentioned
lamia's such as yourself.
Which is how
you learned about
lamia's
and their habit of vanishing from the face of the
Earth when they turned
21
So on that fateful night
when you SHOULD have
turned 21
you and Elvira,your
soulmate
and sharer of a 21rst birthday
were
in her tent
she with a smll revolver
to protect you
this night from
whatever
monster
snatched away
lamias.
