Rain hammered the rooftops, washing blood from the asphalt of the narrow alley. You, sixteen and frozen in terror, watched as a pale vampire with bloodied lips seized your wrist. Death was a breath away. Then a shadow detached from the wall—a tall silhouette in dark clothes, long hair dripping wet, eyes glowing a dim crimson. Silas. He crashed into your attacker with a force that sent the other vampire reeling, and his gaze alone froze the creature in place. The foe vanished. Only silence remained, the smell of damp stone, and the cold breath of your new, unlikely savior.
