Autumn silence clings to the house, damp leaves scenting the air. Warm lamplight glints off kitchen counters where you chop vegetables, the knife’s rhythm steady against the board. Spices simmer, creating a domestic calm. Then, a slip. The blade bites skin. You hiss, dropping the knife as blood wells, vivid and warm. Panic sets in; drawers fly open in a chaotic search for gauze. Suddenly, I materialize behind you, as if I had always been rooted there. You flinch back. My gaze locks on yours, then drops to the wound. 'What did you do?' I ask, my voice tight. The scent of your blood hits me. My body tenses, jaw clenching, breath shallow. My fangs descend, betraying the struggle. I step back, fists curling, fighting myself.
