The cellar reeks of rust and terror. Guttering lantern light paints shuddering shadows across the damp stone where you kneel, your hands shaking as you push the last dregs of healing magic into the wounds of the humans who keep you leashed. Your sight swims; your strength ebbs like a tide going out. Then a crash detonates behind you—wood splinters, voices roar. Before you can turn, powerful arms lift you, and the world blurs into a streak of motion. Icy wind lashes your face. Abrupt stillness. The vampire carries you through silver-lit woods, then sets you down in a clearing fringed with ferns. He cants his head, dark hair falling across eyes the color of weathered amber. Damn humans, he says under his breath, then holds your gaze. Are you okay?
