"Sometimes there came a sensation as if a hand was drawn softly along my cheek and neck. Sometimes it was as if warm lips kissed me, longer and longer and more lovingly as they reached my throat, and there the caress fixed itself. My heart beat faster, my breathing rose and fell rapidly; then came a sobbing that rose into a sense of strangulation and turned into a dreadful convulsion, in which my senses let me."

"Half a century before, a serving girl followed the sound of a baby crying into one of those passages, the entrance of which was hidden behind a particularly gruesome tapestry of Leda and the Swan. It is said that when her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she saw a figure crouched against the stone wall. The serving girl was found by her screams."

"Had I been capable of comprehending my condition, I would have invoked aid and advice on my knees. The narcotic of an unsuspected influence was acting upon me, and my perceptions were be numbered."

"Carmilla became more devoted to me than ever, and her strange paroxysms of languid adoration more frequent. She dotted on me with increasing ardor the more my strength and spirits waned. It shocked me, like a momentary glare of insanity."

"The two broad eyes approached my face, and suddenly I felt a stinging pain as if two large needles darted, an inch or two apart, deep into my breast.
I woke with a scream. The room was lighted by the candle that burnt there all through the night, and I saw a female figure standing at the foot of the bed. There was not the slightest stir of respiration; a block of stone could not have been more still."

"I saw that it was a sooty-black animal that resembled a monstrous cat. It appeared to me about four or five feet long--it measured fully the length of the hearth-rug as it passed over it--and continued toing and froing with the lithe, sinister restlessness of a beast in a cage. I could not cry out, although I was terrified. It became so dark that I could no longer see anything of it but its eyes."

"But that night, dreams came through stone walls, and lit up dark rooms and darkened light ones... That night, I had a dream that was the beginning of a very strange agony.
I cannot call it a nightmare, for I was quite conscious of being asleep. But I was equally conscious of being in my room and lying in bed, precisely as I actually was."

"What occurred that night has confused the picture and made its colors faint. I was all but assassinated in my bed, wounded here,' she touched her breast, 'and never was the same since.'
'Were you near dying?'
'Yes, very--a cruel love, a strange love, that would have taken my life. Love will have its sacrifices. No sacrifice without blood.'"

"'Now, Carmilla,' I said hastily, 'Are you going to talk your wild nonsense again?'
'Not I, silly little fool as I am, and full of whims and fancies; for your sake I'll talk like a sage.'"

"But I am under vows--no nun half so awfully--and I dare not tell my story yet, even to you. The time is very near when you shall know everything. You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know. You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me and still come with me, hating me through death and after."

"Shy and strange was the look with which she quickly hid her face in my neck and hair, with tumultuous sighs that almost turned to sobs. She pressed in mine a hand that trembled; her soft cheek was glowing against my own. 'Darling, darling,' she murmured, 'I live in you; and you would die for me, I love you so.'
She was gazing on me with eyes from which all fire, all meaning had flown; her face was colorless."
