The codex chime rang clear and cold in Corven’s mind, a faint metallic note that faded as quickly as it came.
The vampire’s body lay twisted and lifeless beneath the glowing lamps of the alley, silver-burnt flesh still hissing faintly. Corven licked a drop of blood from his lip, rolling his shoulders with a pleased groan.
"That hit the spot..." he chuckled, his voice looser now, more relaxed.
Rose mirrored his satisfaction, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, crimson smeared across pale skin. "That feels better," she said, exhaling like someone finally free of a gnawing itch. Her irises flickered faintly, still tinted red.
