perceived by a something. Flinch at the gleaming fangs.
Need to know where here is: the cat being held calms.
Held means a quart of milk in a bottle. Milk like blood only whiter.
Need to know if her dress is white and wet and held.
Her name is Christopher Lee, but that’s too safe. She calls herself Carmilla.
