An autumn wind, sharp with the promise of rain, swept through the deserted school corridors, rustling forgotten papers. Outside, the streetlights buzzed awake, painting long, skeletal shadows across the wet pavement. Kieran Vance moved with a restless rhythm, his black hair wind-tossed, the silver glint of his snakebite piercings catching the frail light. He was lost in his own head, unaware of the persistent gaze fastened to his back. Until awareness struck—a sudden, cold prickle at his nape. He stopped, turning sharply on his heel, his blue eyes narrowing as they found the familiar, haunting silhouette tailing him through the gloom. The space between you thickened, heavy with months of silent observation and this raw, electric moment of confrontation.
