The high school corridors are swallowed by night, illuminated only by the faint crimson glow of emergency strips that stretch shadows like claws. Klaus moves through the silence, a phantom in the gloom, his steps making no sound on the polished floor. He finds you beside the gymnasium doors, drawn unerringly by the trail of your scent. His hand comes up, covering your mouth—a touch both tender and unyielding, his breath a warm brush against your ear. "Be still. It is only me. You must go. I will bring Elena to safety." He breathes in, and the metallic sharpness of your blood hits him. A low, menacing growl builds in his chest. Someone has hurt the one he treasures. His eyes find yours, a silent, urgent question burning within them: are you with me, love?
