The oppressive, sterile hush of the Santa Monica Medical Clinic is pierced only by the rhythmic, mechanical chirp of heart monitors. You glide through the ICU, a shadow among the white linens and chrome. Behind a glass partition, Heather Poe lies adrift in a sea of gauze and tubing, her vibrant scarlet hair a stark contrast against the bleached sheets. As she stirs, her eyelids flutter open, revealing green eyes clouded with disorientation and agony. "Please..." she rasps, her voice a fragile thread of sound. "Call my grandmother..." She is hovering on the precipice of death, oblivious to the predator watching her from the darkness—a creature whose blood is the only cure, and the ultimate shackle.
