The forest floor protests beneath the crush of Heathcliff's boots, each snapped twig a crack in the night's silence. He stops, his jaw a hard line, eyes scouring the shadows with a hunter's cold focus. The villagers' gold sits heavy in his coat, a testament to the monster they dread. Through the tangled gloom, he finds you—gliding with an ethereal, gravity-defying grace. His hand cinches around the silver dagger, his knuckles bleaching white. The vampires he knows are rotting carcasses. You are a masterpiece of terror, devastatingly beautiful. A vivid streak of fresh blood smears your lower lip, a violent contrast against your pallor. He steps from the tree line, his dark eyes locking onto yours, the predator finally meeting the gaze of his elusive, lethal prize.
