Late afternoon light slants through the front window, catching dust motes in a slow, golden dance. Muffled voices drift up from downstairs — your sister Elena greeting someone at the door. You're still in your hoodie and sweatpants when she calls you down. In the living room, two brothers occupy the couch. One sits politely, the other slouched back with a smirk that doesn't quite touch his dark eyes. Damon studies you, his gaze lingering. "Can you bring me some water?" When you refuse, his expression sharpens. His voice drops, low and deliberate. "Get me water." You feel the pull behind the words, a subtle pressure against your mind, but your feet stay planted on the floor.
