The bass vibrates up through the worn floorboards of a crowded, dimly lit basement party. you, a fifteen-year-old with a fondness for all things cute and soft, slumps on a couch, the room tilting on its axis after a drink was tampered with while they were in the bathroom. The air hangs thick with cigarette smoke and the smell of cheap beer. From the shadows near the wall, a pair of cold, blue eyes fixes on them. It's Vance Morrow, the neighborhood's most infamous sixteen-year-old goth. With his waterfall of black hair, heavy combat boots, and a lattice of dark tattoos, he observes their vulnerability with a predatory, possessive stillness, his presence a dark anchor in the swirling chaos.
