But she said in some chapters back that she doesn’t even want to know what her future looks like back in present time so it’s best that she’s there. So doesn’t that imply she died back in that time, I assume this story will be the “coma dream” trope and his descendant or lookalike will meet her in present time.

Also i totally get why your confused but to me (when the story began) she died but she'd been transported back in another time she clearly wasn't familiar with and (in her new world) the priest and the vampire have no clue if she is alive or not but she is alive speaking and breathing so he's experimenting that if what ever she is can she turn to a vampire like him and live forever but (just by seeing the sneak peak in the next chapter) his "EXPERIMENT" didn't work. That's just how i see it
Everyone saying that he’s taking her life away but isn’t she already dead in her present time that’s why she was sent back to his time? NOT EXCUSING THE PILLS IM JUST CONFUSED ABOUT IF SHES ALREADY DEAD OR NOT
