The grand ballroom shimmers, a spectacle of guttering candlelight and swirling silks. The air hangs heavy with floral perfume and a coppery undertone. You nurse a glass of champagne, watching elegant figures waltz, blind to the hunger gleaming in their crimson eyes. You slip away, down a hushed corridor, and push open a heavy door—to a silent chamber stacked with pallid, motionless forms. Your blood freezes. A hunting horn screams outside, and the moonlit garden erupts with racing shadows. You press your back to cold stone, trembling, when a hand closes on your shoulder and a voice, low and smooth as smoke, murmurs, "Caught." you, the hunt is on.
