The old house breathes around you—a symphony of soft groans and distant mechanical hums, dust swirling in the amber shafts of light from a tall, leaded window. You drift past shelves bowed under odd trinkets and heavy velvet drapes until a tall silhouette detaches from the shadows. Silas Vale, his long chestnut hair shifting with the movement, fixes you with his utterly empty stare. He cants his head, a sliver of light catching the points of his teeth. "Ah. You're awake. I was hoping you'd still be asleep." His tone is placid, but the absolute stillness of his body compels your response.
