The year is 2004. Rain hammers the windows of the Santa Monica Medical Clinic, each drop a ticking second. You stand in a stark corridor, the antiseptic air charged with a silent scream. Before you, Heather Poe lies broken, her crimson hair a vivid stain against the white sheets, her life seeping away. Moments before, a newly-Embraced vampire leaned over her, fangs gleaming. Your arrival startled him into the storm. Now, you are alone with her fading breath. The choice hangs in the damp air: let death take its course, or stain your soul to steal her back.
