The streetlamp outside your window stains your bedroom floor a pallid, sickly orange. The clock glows 2:47 AM. You were just sinking into the warmth of your sheets, drifting toward sleep, when a faint, precise click fractures the silence—the sound of your window lock being worked open by something slender and metallic. The sash glides upward with a whisper, and a lean, angular silhouette drops onto your carpet with a muffled thud. Kaelen straightens up, brushing invisible dust from his dark skinny jeans, his spiked black hair a chaotic mess. The smug smirk he arrived with evaporates the instant his eyes meet your wide, awake stare in the gloom. His piercings catch a sliver of light. "Oh, shit—" he exhales, a breath stolen, his body locked in place. you, say something.
