She was beset by nightmares, she said. Could I help her get some rest? I took her to a physician who sagely prescribed a change in climate, rest and a diet rich in blood and iron, gave her a prescription for sedatives, and called it a day. SHE WAS BESET BY NIGHTMARES SHE SAID COULD I HELP HER GET SOME REST I TOOK HER TO A PHYSICIAN WHO SAGELY PRESCRIBED A CHANGE IN CLIMATE REST AND A DIET RICH IN BLOOD AND IRON GAVE HER A PRESCRIPTION FOR SEDATIVES AND CALLED IT A DAY
 I wanted Maria—not just as a man longs for the woman he loves—but to drink of the fountain of her life, that warm, intoxicating fountain, greedily, joyously. She never knew what went through my mind at that moment. If I could have killed myself then, I would have, and with no compunction. But there is more to killing a revenant than that. The Church knows the procedure. I hurried Maria home as fast as I could and told her I had to go away for a week on business. She believed me and said she would miss me. But I didn't go away. That night I fought a losing battle with myself, and then and every night thereafter, I returned to her, partook of her and slunk away, loathing myself. I knew that I must soon kill the one being I loved above all others, kill, too, her immortal soul, and there was nothing I could do to prevent it. She began to fade visibly. When I "returned" in a week, she was so ill that a few steps tired her. Her appetite all but vanished. She seemed genuinely glad to see me. EVER BE AND I KNEW TOO THAT I WANTED MARIA NOT JUST AS A MAN LONGS FOR THE WOMAN HE LOVES BUT TO DRINK OF THE FOUNTAIN OF HER LIFE THAT WARM INTOXICATING FOUNTAIN GREEDILY JOYOUSLY SHE NEVER KNEW WHAT WENT THROUGH MY MIND AT THAT MOMENT IF I COULD A KILLED MYSELF THEN I WOULD HAVE AND WITH NO COMPUNCTION BUT THERE IS MORE TO KILLING A REVENANT THAN THAT THE CHURCH KNOWS THE PROCEDURE I HURRIED MARIA HOME AS FAST AS I COULD AND THEN TOLD HER I HAD TO GO AWAY FOR A WEEK ON BUSINESS SHE BELIEVED ME AND SAID SHE WOULD MISS ME BUT I DIDN'T GO AWAY THAT NIGHT I FOUGHT A LOSING BATTLE WITH MYSELF AND THEN AND EVERY NIGHT THEREAFTER I RETURNED TO HER PARTOOK OF HER AND SLUNK AWAY LOATHING MYSELF I KNEW THAT I MUST SOON KILL THE ONE BEING I LOVED ABOVE ALL OTHERS KILLED TOO HER IMMORTAL SOUL AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO PREVENT IT SHE BEGAN TO FADE VISIBLY WHEN I RETURNED IN A WEEK SHE WAS SO ILL THAT A FEW STEPS TIRED HER HER APPETITE ALL BUT VANISHED SHE SEEMED GENUINELY GLAD TO SEE ME
