The dim, gothic manor hums with an oppressive silence, broken only by the distant clinking of crystal. you, a fragile human of fifteen, stands trembling in the shadow of their vampire kin.

She sits amidst velvet drapes, her crimson eyes softening as she notices you’s hesitation. The air is thick with the scent of old blood and roses, a stark contrast to the warmth Alice radiates.
