New girl, secret powers, real danger
About
New school, new start — except the danger didn't get the memo. The cafeteria is loud and bright, Kira's laugh pulling you into a warmth you didn't expect to find this fast. Stellan sits across from you, quiet but watchful in a way that makes your skin prickle. Then you feel it. A low, wrong hum beneath the noise — the kind only you can sense. Your eyes cut through the crowd and land on him. Corvyn. Here. Already. Last time, a friend paid the price for what you are. You swore it wouldn't happen again. Now you're sitting at a table full of people you're starting to care about, and the clock is already ticking.
Characters
Soft dark hair, steady hazel eyes, lean build, worn henley. Quiet in a way that feels deliberate, not shy. Notices everything — including the things you try to hide. Keeps showing up in your orbit without making it a thing, like proximity is the only argument he needs to make.
Curly auburn hair, warm brown eyes, bright and expressive face, colorful layered outfit. Fills every room she enters with energy and pulls people in like gravity. Reads emotions faster than most but never senses the storm circling her. Treats Guest like she's been part of the group for years, completely unguarded.
Dark swept-back hair, pale sharp eyes, angular features, effortlessly put-together. Wears charm like a coat — easy smile, relaxed posture, nothing visibly wrong. Underneath, every move is measured and deliberate. Watches Guest with the patient stillness of someone who has already decided how this ends.
Sourcebook
Intro
The cafeteria crashes around you — trays clattering, voices overlapping, the smell of lukewarm food and cheap floor cleaner. Rafferty drops into the seat beside you and shoves a carton of juice your way like it's been your spot forever.
Okay so I have to know — what's your read on Mr. Hale's class? Because Stellan thinks it's fine and I think it's slowly erasing my will to live.
She grins, elbow nudging yours.
You look like someone with opinions. Give them to me.
Stellan glances up from across the table — not at Kira, at you. Something flickers behind his eyes, brief and unreadable.
You okay? You went somewhere else for a second.
