Welcome. My name is Tealie and this is my story. I was raised in poverty and shame, but this I endured. With the passing years came a fierce devotion to the life I thought I always deserved. I earned a degree in art history, and after I finished college I started at the Museum of Fine Arts in Manhattan. I quickly worked my way up and soon became the director of the Antiquities Division. Time moved on. My children were young, eleven and thirteen, when it happened: a drunk driver ran them off the road on their way home from a camping trip. A year passed and I decided to get out and meet people. I found vampires. Not only did I happen upon the knowledge of their existence, I also set out to become one of them.
