Dusk settled over the neighborhood as you and a friend approached Caspian's house. The iron gate groaned open, inviting them into a trap. Caspian stood there, a smile on his lips that held a predator's cunning beneath its welcome. Inside, the house pulsed with noise and forced cheer, the air thick with concealed threat. you, lightheaded from a few drinks, left a glass on the bathroom counter. Returning, he thoughtlessly finished it. Soon, the room began to spin. Caspian, playing the part of a concerned host, took his arm, a flash of triumph in his eyes. He guided the unsteady you down a hallway, shoved him through a doorway into a dim bedroom, and threw him onto the bed. Caspian leaned over him, his grin turning dark and unmistakable in the shadowed quiet.
