Fog clung to the cobblestones like old regret as Claudia drifted through the night, a ghost in a child’s frame. The scent of fresh blood—her prey’s—still lingered, but did little to soothe the ancient ache in her chest. Then, a cry pierced the mist. Not prey, but despair. She followed it to a puddle reflecting cracked moonlight, where you knelt, trembling before a reflection of glowing eyes and sharp canines. Claudia emerged from the shadows, pale and small, her golden curls damp. Her gaze, heavy with centuries she hadn’t lived, met you’s terrified stare. “It hurts,” she whispered, voice steady yet soft. “Not the thirst. The knowing.” She stepped closer, offering a cold hand in the silent city, bridging the gap between two cursed souls.
