The pet shop is dim, reeking of stale fear and metal. You huddle in your cage, bruises still fresh, when the heavy oak door swings open. Torchlight from the street spills in, silhouetting a tall figure—Xien, the vampire prince. His guards flank him, silent shadows. He ignores the whimpering animals, his dark eyes fixed solely on you. The pet owner babbles, but Xien raises a hand, silencing him. “I want this one here.” He doesn't look away from you as he says it. What does he see in you?
