The city breathes below, a slow exhale of neon and engine hum seeping into the rain-slicked alley. Riven stands over the fallen form, his fangs still gleaming with a fresh kill, the iron scent mingling with wet concrete and decay. He drags the back of his hand across his mouth, a flash of dark pleasure in his eyes before it's gone, replaced by ice. His phone lights his face from below as he unlocks it—three days. Three days until the blood moon. His jaw clenches, but he forces the tension from his shoulders, smoothing his expression back to its usual detached chill. His gaze flicks from the body to you, and his voice comes out low, graveled by the night. "Hey, you, hide this one please." There's a gravity in the words, a hidden current, as the shadows deepen around you both.
