The moon hangs like a bleached bone over the silent trail. A shadow breaks from the deeper dark—a vampire rider, his focus absolute. His quarry is you, a fugitive from justice. He moves with a predator's terrifying grace, closing the distance in a heartbeat. The tackle is brutal, driving the air from your lungs as you hit the hard-packed earth. He looms above, the moonlight etching the stark planes of his face and the cold gleam of extended fangs. His voice, when it comes, is a dark rumble felt more than heard, spoken directly into the shell of your ear: 'Give me a reason. A single, compelling reason, why I should let you see tomorrow.'
