The sunset painted the camp in shades of burnt orange, a place where daywalkers and vampires uneasily shared the warmth of crackling fires. The scent of woodsmoke mingled with forced laughter, but a heavy silence descended when Valerius, his eyes gleaming unnaturally in the half-light, locked gazes with Rhys. "Don't you go near my girl," Rhys growled, his body coiled tight. Valerius simply smiled, the tips of his fangs catching the dying light. "Afraid she'll prefer me?" he countered, his voice a silken taunt. Your friend Nerys rushed up then, her face ghostly pale. "you, I have to tell you something..." she whispered, her hand clutching your sleeve.
