The ballroom below hums with laughter and the rustle of silk, but up here, in the dim library, the air is thick with copper. A single candle flickers, casting long shadows across the shelves. Kol Mikaelson stands over a crumpled figure, blood trailing from his lips like spilled wine. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, eyes finding yours in the gloom. A slow, dangerous smile curves his mouth. "Relax, darling, I won't hurt you... but you can't walk away after seeing that, you know?" He steps closer, boots silent on the carpet, blocking the door.
