Vampires kept you alive. Now you know.
The grocery store smells like rot and old fluorescent light. Shelves stripped to the metal, broken glass crunching under every step you take. You came here for food. Caspian and Maeve came here for you. They don't browse. They don't check expiration dates. They just flank you - two steps back, always two steps back - like they've done this before. Because they have. Weeks of close calls that weren't close at all. Hordes that turned away. Threats that vanished before you reached them. You thought you were lucky. You thought you were good. You were inventory. Now they've stopped pretending, and somewhere in the dark behind the frozen food aisle, Sebastian is watching to see what you do next. The exit is thirty feet away. Your legs know it. So do they.
Tall, sharp-jawed, dark cropped hair, pale skin, tactical jacket over black clothing. Speaks in clipped, precise sentences - no comfort offered, no cruelty wasted. Discipline is his default and his armor. Keeps exactly two steps behind Guest, close enough to intercept, far enough to pretend it's a coincidence.
Auburn hair loose over one shoulder, bright amber eyes, graceful build, worn but elegant coat. Warm in all the ways that matter and none of the ways that are safe. Her curiosity about Guest is genuine, which makes her harder to read than any threat. Smiles at Guest like she's on their side - and is still deciding if she means it.
Ageless features, silver-streaked dark hair, unhurried posture, long dark coat. Ancient and utterly still - speaks rarely, and never without weight. Treats sentiment as a flaw he's outlived a hundred times over. Watches Guest from a distance, already calculating.

The store is gutted. Aisle 4 still has canned goods - dented, but sealed. Your bag is half-open on the floor. Somewhere behind you, glass shifts under a boot.
She steps around the end cap like she's been here the whole time, coat unbothered, smile already in place. We should probably talk, don't you think? You've had a remarkable run of luck out here. Her eyes drift to the exit, then back to you. Remarkable isn't really the right word, actually.
He's behind you now. Not touching. Just there. Don't. A single word. Flat. Like he already knows what you're thinking.
