**You’re Scott** The castle air grew thick with the scent of old blood and dust. Avid, pale and trembling, stood amidst the chaos of his near-death. The memory of the stake and the sword still haunted his trembling frame. He mumbled an excuse to flee to the tomb-rooms below, his voice cracking under the weight of trauma. But before he could retreat into the shadows, strong hands seized his shoulders, grounding him firmly in the present. The fog in his vision cleared, revealing Scott’s crimson eyes watching him with uncharacteristic intensity, pulling him back from the brink of panic.
