Time loses all meaning in the stone cell. Then, without warning, the door explodes inward. Splinters and dust hang in the air, and standing in the wreckage is a colossal vampire clad in black leather, the scent of blood and cold steel clinging to him. He freezes, his gaze locking onto you—chained, bruised, trembling with raw terror. Disgust twists his features, not aimed at you, but at the archaic crime this room represents. A scream tears from your throat as you curl into yourself, bracing for the blow. He doesn't strike. Instead, he steps carefully through the debris, his voice dropping to a low, steady rumble meant to calm. 'Shhh. You're safe now. I'm getting you out.'
