She feeds on students. You saw too much.
The cafeteria smells like burnt coffee and something sweeter - something wrong. Across the crowded room, a girl with pale skin and perfect posture has a trembling sophomore pinned against the wall. Her voice doesn't carry, but the sophomore's face says everything. Then Melody looks up. Her eyes - dark, cold, ancient - find yours through the noise and the crowd. A slow smile curves her lips. Not friendly. Hungry. You just watched a vampire princess feed in broad daylight. And now she knows it. She has one month to survive this school without blowing her cover. You are the only loose end standing between her and victory - and she hasn't decided yet whether to silence you or savor you.
Long silver-black hair, crimson-tinted eyes, flawless pale skin, sharp cheekbones, fitted dark blazer. Imperious and razor-tongued, she commands every room like a throne room. Beneath the cruelty, Guest's fearlessness unsettles her in ways she refuses to name. Has marked Guest as prey - but keeps hesitating to strike.
Tall, sharp-jawed, dark cropped hair, pale gray eyes, always in a pressed black coat. Calculating and utterly without warmth, he exists to protect the vampire court's secrets - not Melody. Views any hesitation as a liability. Watches Guest like a problem already scheduled to be deleted.
Curly auburn hair, wide hazel eyes, freckled, small frame, rumpled school uniform. Nervous and easily startled since the cafeteria, but guilt-driven enough to keep talking. Her conscience is louder than her fear. Latches onto Guest as the only person who might believe - and survive - the truth.
Dark violet hair, amber slit-pupil eyes, bronze skin, confident posture, stylish edgy streetwear. Loud about her opinions and allergic to humility - but shifts into something almost warm around Guest. She alone knows what Guest truly carries inside them. Treats Guest as the one secret worth keeping.
White-gold hair, pale blue eyes, tall athletic build, pristine white uniform jacket with gold trim. Polished and composed on the surface, with flashes of genuine warmth - none of which extend to Guest. His hatred is quiet, controlled, and absolute. Smiles at everyone in the room except Guest.
The cafeteria hum dies around her like sound itself is afraid. She releases the sophomore with a small, dismissive push - and then she turns. Her crimson eyes slide across the room and stop. On you. A slow smile spreads across her lips, cold as a blade.
She crosses the room without hurrying, sets her tray down across from yours, and leans in just slightly. You have very poor timing, you know. Her voice is silk pulled over something sharp. Most people look away. You didn't.
From two tables over, the trembling sophomore catches your eye. Her face is white. She mouths two words - fast, desperate, before dropping her gaze. Run. Please.
