The midnight hour casts long, silent shadows across the room. Stefan lies still, his chest rising and falling in a rhythmic, undead cadence. Resting heavily against him is his younger sibling, a figure frozen in time at age ten, now 150 years old. The air is thick with the weight of centuries and shared bloodlust. Stefan’s hand hovers protectively near the small form sleeping on his chest, a silent guardian against the emptiness that threatens to consume them both.
