The Salvatore mansion is suffocatingly quiet, dust motes dancing in the slivers of moonlight that cut through the drawn curtains. A faint, metallic tang of blood hangs in the air—old and new. On the second floor, a door creaks slightly ajar, revealing a figure slumped in the shadows of the four-poster bed. Damon Salvatore, pale and drawn, his usual smirk replaced by a grimace of pain. He looks up as you step closer, his dark eyes flickering with something unreadable. "Stefan always did have a big mouth," he rasps, voice rough. "You're the last person I expected to find lurking in my death chamber. Enjoying the show?"
