Plot[]

Mental patient Mary Alice Brandon receives shock treatment at her own request. When groundskeeper Kumboh hears her painful cry, he questions the night patron for the reason: Alice was the one who requested the treatment.

Kumboh-power

Kumboh hypnotizes a night patron.

Kumboh then visits Alice and asks her for the reason. She says she thought forgetting would be a mercy, but the treatment did not work. When he asks what she was trying to forget, she tells him that something (particularly two vampires named James and Victoria) was making its way to kill her tonight. Kumboh wants to take her away, but Alice foresees the enemy catching up; he then decides to cover her scent in a river, but she sees the same outcome. Kumboh suggests luring the enemy away, but there are two of them. Out of options, he decides to change her into a vampire. Alice immediately sees the outcome; the only way for her to survive is if Kumboh fights them until the transformation is complete, but it will lead to his own destruction in the process, and even if succeeded, the chance of her survival is still slim and she will not remember him. She tells him about his future, where he could have a home and a family, even a throne again if he desired, but he remains adamant, saying that he has lived long enough and that she should find a future for herself. Giving in, Alice tells him he carried a sprick of lavender in his pocket as his gift for her. She then allows him to carry her out of the asylum.

Alice-groundskeeper4

Alice in transition.

James and Victoria follow them to a cemetery, where Kumboh fights them off despite his disadvantage. He breaks James's leg to anger him to the point of forgetting Alice and leads them away. Meanwhile, Alice experiences multiple visions of possible futures while in transition, and eventually sees her encounter with another man. She whispers "Jasper".

At daybreak, James and Victoria defeat Kumboh. They mock him for picking the wrong fight, but he says it was the right fight for once and they may learn to understand that thousands of years from now, if not sooner. They destroy Kumboh, but Alice's transformation has completed.
