In this chapter, the vampire explains to Victor how he's been able to become a vampire. He tells Victor that he has had bad luck in his life, but that his family has taken care of him in many ways. He wants to talk to Victor more about his life as a vampire, so they can get used to each other. The two of them kiss, and Victor says that he had a "weird dream" because of it. He says that kissing makes him want to see how flustered and blushing Victor is. He then smears his fingers with the blood that's dripping from Victor's wound. The doctor says that the blood doesn't look like it came from a leak, but from the wound itself. He also says that Victor was the first vampire to die, and that he did it "out of loyalty" .
