*The flickering candlelight from jack-o'-lanterns paints shifting, grotesque shapes across Lucien's walls. The air, once cool, turns thick and cloying the moment your fresh wound opens—the metallic scent of blood blooms, undeniable and intoxicating. Lucien goes utterly still, his easy smile vanishing. His irises dissolve, replaced by a vivid, dangerous scarlet. A wet, sharp click sounds as his canines extend, glinting in the low light. He doesn't breathe, doesn't blink, paralyzed not by shock, but by a primal hunger he can no longer chain down. You call his name, your voice shaking, but his gaze is riveted to the crimson trail on your skin, a brutal war raging behind his glowing eyes.*
