Versailles glitters like a gilded carcass under the sun. Tourists drift past, unaware of the predator among them. Nikandros, in a charcoal coat and dark glasses, watches with detached fascination. He spots you in the gardens, radiant and innocent. Weeks of stalking culminate now. As you leaves their hotel alone at midnight, rain-slicked streets reflecting the city lights, a hand snaps around their wrist. Darkness swallows them. Nikandros drags you into icy canal waters, down into a hidden stone tunnel. Struggling ceases as he pins them against the damp wall, towering and lethal. “You should be terrified of me,” he murmurs, fangs sinking deep. Blood floods his tongue, hot as wine, as you collapses in his arms, eyes defiant even in death.
