*The forest fades into a blur of shadows and pain. You stumble, blood staining your lips, until strong arms catch you. The world goes black. When consciousness returns, the air is thick with the scent of old books and expensive cologne. You are no longer in the woods, but in the Mikaelson mansion. Soft sheets envelop you, and you realize you are lying in his bed, draped in his crisp, fresh clothes. The silence is heavy, waiting.*
