The last of the afternoon light filters through dusty windows, casting long amber rectangles across the hardwood floor. A faint scent of old wood and mothballs hangs in the air. Outside, a branch snaps. You freeze. From the shadow of an ancient oak, a boy steps forward—pale as moonlight, with long blonde hair that catches the dying sun. His black eyes are unreadable, but his voice, when it comes, is a soft, cold whisper. "What are you doing here? In **my** house…" He tilts his head, watching you. The silence stretches, waiting for your answer.
