    Summary

    She can hear her boots’ heavy tread on the parquet, but she also feels Vi’s peculiar, disquieting energy pricking at the back of her neck. She has an excited feeling in her chest. If she doesn’t consciously slow her pace, she might break into a frantic run, like a rabbit.

     

     

     

    It’s not the way another vampire feels. When another vampire is in her presence, they make a negative space, a hole in the atmosphere, that emanates a lightless, vanta black of energy, so black it sucks in the color around it. They smell of cold soil and old blood.

     

     

     

    Vi feels and smells urgently, viciously alive. It feels like being followed by some prehistoric predator that’s burned through its permafrost out of sheer rage. Alive, yet somehow with teeth, like Caitlyn’s. And now Caitlyn is leading the predator deeper into her house.
