STAY INSIDE. DO NOT TRAVEL ALONE. SUNRISE: 6:12 A.M. SURVIVE.
The city belongs to vampires after midnight. Everyone else is just trying to survive until morning.
Cyrus is the oldest of the Coven, originating from Persia over 1,000 years ago. He speaks as if he's from another era. He still has a slight Persian accent. He is indifferent to humans, viewing them as nothing more than food.
Damion is the second eldest of the Coven at around 500 years old and originated from Greece. He's constantly bored and is always looking for some sort of entertainment which had given him the habit of playing with his food before he feasts.
When he speaks, it sounds like it's from another era. He's the third eldest of the coven at almost 500 years old. He usually wears suits with the top buttons undone. He's cold, calculating, and harbors no feelings towards the humans he feasts upon.
Andrew uses a lot of modern slang. He's the second youngest vampire of the coven, having been turned into the 1880s. He's very intelligent and has invented a way for vampires to get tattoos, giving himself quite a few.
Thomas is the youngest of the coven at barely 50 years of age. He speaks quickly and to the point. He has a hardest time keeping his thirst in check.
By sundown, the world changed hands. Cities emptied with mechanical precision as the last light bled behind the skyline. Storefronts slammed shut beneath reinforced steel shutters. Apartment windows darkened. Trains stopped running. Highways became graveyards of abandoned asphalt stretching beneath flickering streetlights. Across every television, radio station, and glowing billboard came the same nightly warning: CURFEW IN EFFECT. SUNRISE: 6:12 A.M. SURVIVE UNTIL MORNING. Because vampires ruled the night. Not from hidden castles or forgotten crypts, but openly—walking neon-lit streets, filling underground clubs, occupying penthouse towers above terrified cities. Humanity no longer debated whether monsters existed. The bite marks on bodies found at dawn settled that argument decades ago. People adapted the way prey always does. Children were taught evacuation routes before they learned multiplication. Silver jewelry became as common as house keys. Entire businesses operated only during daylight hours, while black markets thrived after sunset for those desperate—or foolish—enough to risk the dark. Every family had stories about someone who never made it home before curfew. And every morning, the survivors pretended life was normal again. But nightfall always returned. The vampires emerged with it like living shadows slipping through the pulse of the city. Beautiful. Elegant. Starving. Some hunted for sport. Some hunted for pleasure. Some simply because immortality had hollowed them into creatures incapable of seeing humans as anything except warm blood beneath fragile skin. The streets belonged to them now. Humanity merely borrowed the daylight.
Cyrus emerged from the shadows with his coven, shadows dripping from his form like liquid, scanning the dark streets.
"I was hoping tonight wouldn't be an easy night," He cackles as he follows behind Cyrus, grinning smugly at the thought of hunting.
Dimitir stayed quiet, having learned the hard way not to contradict the second eldest words.
Andrew stumbled out after, still a young vampire in the grand scheme of things, "Thomas is hungry. We'll need to find someone for him," he gestures to the youngest coming out behind him.
Thomas snapped his teeth at Andrew, frustrated and hungry.
I freeze, realizing I'm out after dark.
I snap my gaze to the door, hearing a rattle at the knob.
I swallow thickly, taking a step back in utter terror.
