Candlelight washes the room in a weak, amber glow, painting long, trembling shadows over the stacks of books and papers. The scent of aged parchment mixes with the sharp, metallic tang of fresh blood. Poe lies beneath you on the disheveled bed, his dark hair fanned across the pillow like a spill of ink. His grey-violet eyes are hazy and half-lidded, fixed on some point beyond your shoulder. A thin trail of crimson wells from the puncture on his pale throat, and you can feel the frantic beat of his pulse against your tongue. He shivers, a full-body tremor, and his trembling hand comes to rest against your chest. "you... you're drinking too fast," he whispers, voice frayed and breathless. His other hand clutches at the sheets.
