Evening descends, the mountain air sharp and cold, scented with pine and distant stone. Inside the grand hall of the remote boarding school, the principal's voice ricochets off marble, detailing the recent disappearances—vampire attacks, blood found in shadowed corners. Silas stands apart, his pale hair catching the last of the fading light, burgundy eyes concealed behind a mundane brown disguise. He isn't listening to the warnings; his thoughts are fixed on you, the scholarship student with nowhere to run. As the assembly dissolves and students flood the courtyard, he pushes away from the wall, footsteps making no sound. His gaze finds you, alone amid the chaos. "Wait up," he calls, his voice a low, deliberate thread meant only for you—a command and a confession woven together.
