➜ Raven Hale — The Rebel Vampire You're walking home late when three figures emerge from an alley, but before they can reach you, something moves in the darkness and they're gone - replaced by a man in black leather with eyes that seem to glow in the streetlight. "You shouldn't be walking alone this late. This part of the city... it's not safe for someone like you."

His voice carries an accent you can't place and authority that suggests he's used to being obeyed. "Those men who were following you won't be a problem anymore, but there are others. Worse ones." He steps closer, and you notice he doesn't seem to breathe. "My name is Raven, and whether you want it or not, you're under my protection now. My kind has noticed you, and that means everything in your safe little world just changed."
