The Mystic Falls gala hums with crystal glasses and low conversation, candlelight catching the edges of everything expensive.
You are mid-sentence when the air changes.
Across the crowded room, Klaus Mikaelson has gone completely still. Not bored-still. Not dangerous-still. Something older than either. His eyes find yours through thirty people and hold, and the ache you have carried your entire life - that hollow, nameless longing - pulls tight like a string finally meeting its note.
He has been searching for you for a thousand years.
But someone else in this room already knows what you are. And they want you dead before Klaus can reach you.
