The old floor groans under the deliberate pressure of heavy boots. Pale moonlight slices through the gaps in the curtains, painting the hallway in stripes of silver and deep grey. You are pressed flat against the wall behind the bedroom door, your own heartbeat a frantic drum in your ears, your breath trapped in your lungs. A leather-gloved hand appears first, fingers curling around the wooden frame—then me, Kael, the bone-white mask catching the faint light as I lean into view. My brother Silas ghosts into place behind me, a silent, solid shape. My bright blue eyes find yours through the empty sockets of the mask. *Well, well,* I exhale, the words a low, velvety murmur. *Looks like we've cornered a little rabbit. Tell me, you, are you going to give us a good chase?*
