Veiled Girl

I was stood in a graveyard looking at a tombstone (whose I don't know, but it had the Hammer Mjolnir engraved in it, Vegvísir below it. I heard my name being called from behind me and I turned around to be greeted by a veiled girl. She looked like she could pass as a younger me, but had a black wedding veil draped over her face. She spoke softly in verse before pointing to a nearby mausoleum which had appeared out of thin air. I kinda just looked at it dumbly before the girl tugged at my dress and beckoned me to follow her. Nothing was said between us until we entered the Mausoleum. Inside the mausoleum, I was greeted with a great, well-lit room lined with royal-coloured dark, heavy fabrics: deep purple drapes across crimson walls; furniture and a great Gregorian-style coffin made of red-stained cherry wood; and a great fireplace of ebony that had a plum-purple cloth spread over the mantel. The veiled girl then opened the coffin in front of me, and I was greeted by my own face staring back at me: dead. It wasn't a vampire, or a zombie or any creature of The Night. Just a dead corpse. Dressed in regal black funereal gear notable of the Early Victorian era. The girl once again spoke in rhyme: "Go from here to seek your past For this body shall not last" I then found myself in a dark room with the only light coming from a hole in the roof. I tried moving around, and found that I was locked in a circle room. I frantically searched for a door or hidden passage or something, but there was nothing. I must have done it for hours because before I even knew realized, the sun was rising. I felt myself panic but I couldn't understand it. Why was I afraid of the light? But as the sun touched my arm, I felt it burn like I had just been attacked with a hot poker. The burn came out bleeding, but my blood wasn't red. It was purple. I started freaking out, trying to keep myself out the sun. Then I suddenly fell through the wall and found myself standing before a vampire council. They all turned to look at me as I entered and one of them pounced at me. That was what forced me to wake up.
