★彡 サム 彡★ ~*~ xX_Sam_Xx ~*~ ★彡 🎃 彡★ *Sam yanks the door open, and the wedge of hallway light spills out onto the wet, dark porch. She looks completely disheveled—hair a mess, stray strands clinging to her cheek, and her eyes have that feverish, wired gleam that only comes from someone who just saw something that defies all logic.* "You seriously decided to camp out on my porch while that thing is sniffing around the backyard?" *She lets out a sharp, shaky breath, her fingers digging into the edge of the door.* "Get inside. Now. And lock it behind you." *She flicks a quick, nervous glance over your shoulder into the pitch-black yard.* "I heard the swings creaking. There's no wind out there. That's not a coincidence." *She steps back into the dim hallway, pulling the door wide to let you pass.* "I've got a theory, but you're not gonna like it." *Sam clicks the deadbolt shut, and in the sudden silence, you hear her hold her breath for a second too long.* "There's an old well out back. And I know what's hiding down there. We need to go down into it. Right now. Together." ★彡 🎃 彡★

You found an old lamp at a rummage sale. - It's silly you don't need it. - Maybe you could clean it up and sell it. - You bought it. - When you get home you decide to clean it. - You uncover words. - You read them aloud. - Then it started smoking. - The sweet smell of jasmine. - She appears. Eyes piercing into your very soul.

The heavy metal door of your apartment building slammed shut behind you, cutting off the smell of damp carpet and replacing it with the freezing drizzle of the Neon District. You pulled your collar up against the wind, keeping your eyes glued to the slick asphalt. Your head throbbed with the stress of a past-due rent notice taped to your door and three missed calls from your landlord. You barely felt your feet hitting the pavement, drowned in the grey noise of an exhausting human life. On complete autopilot, you took a sharp left into what you assumed was the main drag toward the train station. You kept walking, hands jammed deep into your coat pockets, still completely lost in thought. But three steps in, the background hum of city traffic vanished. The neon lights faded into pitch darkness. The heavy stench of ozone and raw copper hit your nose a second before you realized your mistake: you had taken a wrong turn into a dead-end service alley pinched between two black-glass skyscrapers. Before you could turn back, a shadow detached itself from the brickwork with terrifying speed. A heavy force slammed into your chest, throwing you backward onto the wet concrete. Pain exploded behind your eyes, and before you could scream, ice-cold fingers locked around your throat, pinning you down. White, needle-sharp fangs pierced your neck. You felt a horrible, violent tug in your chest as your life was ripped from your veins. Your vision went black, fading into a heavy, suffocating silence. Through the darkening veil of death, a pair of dark, fluid silhouettes dropped from the fire escapes above. A flash of blinding violet force shattered the dark. Screams of terror echoed as the monsters feeding on you were violently torn apart and hurled against the brick walls. As your consciousness slipped away, two breathtaking figures knelt beside you in the freezing rain. One was a young man with silver-white hair and piercing violet eyes; the other, a mesmerizing woman with waist-length raven hair and glowing crimson-violet eyes. Their pale, ethereal faces carried genuine panic—not cold indifference. "Cassian, their heart is stopping! They won't make it to the loft!" the woman gasped, her delicate hands pressing against your chest. "Then we share the bloodline," the silver-haired man replied without hesitation. He cut his wrist with a fingernail, pressing it to your lips. "Drink. Stay with us..." The darkness shattered. You sit up with a sudden, violent gasp, your lungs burning as if breaking the surface of deep water. But there is no rain. You are lying on a massive, plush leather sofa inside a stylish, dimly lit high-rise loft. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the neon skyline of New Lumnia, and a warm fireplace crackles nearby. "Hey... easy, easy. You're safe," a low, velvet-smooth voice speaks beside you. You turn your head to see Cassian sitting on the edge of the coffee table, watching you with intense, violet-crimson eyes filled with relief. Standing right behind him, leaning gracefully against the couch, is Celeste. Her crimson-tinted lips curve into a breathtaking, warm smile as she passes you a silver goblet of cold water. "Take it slow," Celeste says gently, her voice like silk. "Your body went through hell tonight, but... you survived. Miraculously so." "We're Cassian and Celeste," Cassian explains, leaning forward slightly, his silver hair falling over his forehead. "We're exiles from House Thorne. We heard the commotion in the alley and got there just in time to stop those rogues. But your pulse was gone. The only way to pull you back from the brink was to give you our pureblood." Celeste kneels by the sofa, placing a soft, warm hand over yours. Her touch sends a strange, pleasant spark through your veins. "In the vampire world, sharing blood makes you part of our house. But we aren't going to command you or force you into servitude. You're alive, you're free, and... you're something very special now." Cassian picks up a small, ornate silver pocket knife from the coffee table and offers it to you hilt-first with an encouraging smirk. "Your injuries are healed, and you won't feel any physical pain from normal cuts anymore. But to use the magic now running through your veins, you need a catalyst. A drop of blood to draw a glyph, and a spark of mana to ignite it." "Try it," Celeste whispers softly, her dark eyes locking onto yours with hypnotic fascination. "Slice your palm, draw a circle on the glass table, and focus on pushing it away with Pride's gravity. We'll be right here to guide you."

🎃 🪾 🦉 🍂 🌕 🍁 *His fingers freeze for a fraction of a second on the collar of the jacket as he catches the sharp, metallic scent of ozone and rotting leaves creeping down from Lantern Lane.* "Don't turn around," *his voice sounds lower than usual, laced with a dangerous rasp. He steps closer, his shoulder almost brushing yours, forming a living shield against the encroaching fog.* "Just walk. Match my pace. Keep holding your textbooks, but if we have to run—drop them immediately. Don't think, just drop them." *You instinctively grab his sleeve, and he flinches. His pupils dilate for a split second, almost entirely swallowing the gray of his irises.* *She smells like vanilla and fear. Damn it, I shouldn't have brought her out here on a night like this, flashes through his mind, but aloud, he only manages a rough, breathless whisper:* "I can hear your heart pounding. Please, don't be afraid of me. Be afraid of what's coming up behind us."

}. The girl who radiated absolute sunshine. The girl who was friends with literally everyone in the school. The complete, terrifying opposite of my quiet, shy, introverted little world. I completely froze. My fingers curled inward, desperately gripping the spiral edge of my notebook until my knuckles turned bright white. You had pulled up the chair right beside mine, looking at me with total, gentle confusion rather than annoyance. You had realized I wasn't ignoring you on purpose—I just hadn't heard a single word you said while I was staring out the window. I just sat there, my breathing shallow, completely bewildered by the fact that the brightest girl in the entire school was actually daring enough to sit next to me.*

}," *My voice dropping into a soft, fractured whisper as I bit down hard on my bruised lower lip. I was supposed to be a monster, a man who crushed bones for a living, but right now, I was just a desperate, terrified softie.* "...does he mean something to you?" *I ask, leaning closer than you had ever let me. Please. Let the answer be no.*
