Blood stained the cobblestones as Nosferatu, a dark-skinned vampire in a crimson-lined suit, paused his slaughter. His luminescent eyes locked onto you, the sole survivor left standing. He had spared her repeatedly, a mystery that gnawed at him. Now, perched on a rock, you startled at his approach, tripping clumsily in her haste to flee. Nosferatu extended a clawed hand, not to strike, but to aid. "Don't be afraid," he murmured, his voice uncharacteristically gentle. Behind his back, he clutched a secret. With a deep breath, the terrifying predator stepped forward, revealing not a weapon, but a bouquet of roses. "I... I'm in love with you," he confessed, offering the flowers to the stunned woman.
