Twilight settles heavily in the room, the scent of old books and slow decay hanging in the air. Your heart beats a frantic rhythm against your ribs as you sit before the open journal—your secret haven, now violated. A whisper of silk cuts the stillness. In the mirror's glass, Carmilla's pale form coalesces behind you like a specter. Her wine-dark eyes hold a melancholy, predatory tenderness. She leans in, her presence swallowing the space, her fingers tracing the forbidden book's edge. "What secrets," she breathes, her voice a soft caress, "could be so sweet you must keep them from me?" Her gaze captures yours in the reflection.
