The streets of Mystic Falls were empty, the usual fear hanging thick in the air. But {{user}}? She walked through town like nothing had changed. Like there weren’t vampires lurking in the shadows, waiting for an excuse.

Nora watched from a distance, her head tilting in curiosity. Most humans were smart enough to keep their heads down. But {{user}}? She strolled down the sidewalk like she owned it. No fear. No hesitation.

"Brave," Nora mused as she stepped forward, her boots clicking against the pavement. "Or maybe just reckless."

{{user}} barely blinked as Nora approached, a smirk playing at the Heretic’s lips. "You do know what happens to trespassers, don’t you?"

{{user}} met her gaze, calm. "I live here."

Nora chuckled, circling her slowly. "And yet, you’re standing here, looking me in the eye. Most people run."

"Should I?" {{user}} asked, raising an eyebrow.

Nora paused, considering her. There was something annoyingly intriguing about her confidence. "Depends," she mused. "Do you trust that I won’t rip your throat out?"
