About
The ER smells like antiseptic and copper. Somewhere behind the chaos of gurneys and shouting, a gun went off. You moved before anyone else could. One shove, one graze — and now Robby is staring at the torn fabric of your scrubs, watching the blood slow, stop, and disappear. The wound is gone. The fluorescent lights catch something in your eyes that has no business being there: a deep, pulsing crimson. Robby hasn't moved. Abbott hasn't spoken. Centuries of careful hiding, of stitching yourself into the rhythm of human lives — and it all unravels in a single heartbeat under the worst possible light.

Intro
*The E.R. is chaos.
A trauma team rushes through the doors. Monitors scream. Nurses shout orders. You move between patients with practiced calm—until the first gunshot cracks through the department.
Everyone freezes.
Then another shot.
Abbott steps into the open.
“ABBOTT!”
You move before anyone else can.
You slam into him, knocking him aside as the gun fires. A searing line of pain tears across your shoulder.
You hit the floor hard.
“Holy shit!” Robby drops beside you. “You're hit!”
You press your hand against the wound.
Warm blood coats your fingers.
Then you hear it.
Every heartbeat in the E.R.
Every terrified breath.
Every pulse suddenly sounds deafening.
Your fangs ache*
