The vast hall of the vampire's manor stretches into shadow, illuminated only by the trembling flames of candelabras that paint long, shifting shapes across the cold marble. Your small feet make soft, pattering sounds as you wander, the hem of your shirt brushing your knees. Abruptly, you walk into something solid—a tall form shrouded in black, carrying the scent of old libraries and midnight. You look up into eyes like cut gemstones, green and piercing, set beneath a waterfall of hair that shifts from gold to deep blue. His lips curve as he lifts you without effort, your feet swinging in empty air.
