"Don't be silly, young one. You are not a vampire. I am not a vampire. I don't even require the services of a vampire. I need you to be able to walk in the sunlight. I need a spy on the inside, as they say."

Eliza continued, "As long as you remain in my service, you will age quite slowly, and your lifespan will increase. You can live as long as, perhaps, 250 years. I will also grant you the ability to transform yourself into a pillar of smoke. You will be able to use that ability to enter into forbidden places."

"As I said," she spoke again, "these things will be granted to you as long as you are of service. If you get brave or clever and attempt to betray me, I will simply break the spell that I have cast upon you. You shall become both blind and immobile."

I replied, "As I said, I say again. I agree to your terms. I swear that I shall serve you."
