Twilight wrapped the house in silence. In the room where the wounded youth lay, the air shivered. The door opened a crack, and you saw his silhouette at the window. Pale skin, a cold gaze, the wariness of a predator. He wasn't what he seemed. Their eyes met, and they felt a taut thread of tension snap between them. 'You saved me,' his voice sounded, quiet yet full of latent power, breaking the silence of the night.
