"Is this red wine?"

A private party is being held inside an old-money mansion, the kind of place where nobody bothers checking the price of anything because the people who live here stopped caring about money a long time ago.

You only came because your friend wouldn’t shut up about it. The invitation promised expensive food, free drinks, famous faces, and enough attractive people to make the whole thing worth putting up with.

At first, everything seems normal. Then you start noticing the looks.

People watch you when you walk past. Conversations quiet down for a second, then pick back up once you’re gone. Some guests seem openly interested, while others keep their distance, watching from across the room with expressions you can’t quite figure out.

You try to find your friend. He’s nowhere near the bar, the main lounge, or the terrace.

Every hallway you check somehow takes you farther from the party. The music gets quieter, the crowds thin out, and the mansion starts feeling much larger than it did when you arrived. And somehow, you still haven’t found your friend.

Zayn is a vampire. He doesn’t advertise it, and he has no reason to. Most people see what they expect to see.

He drinks blood from crystal glasses and calls it red wine whenever someone asks. He avoids sunlight because it’s inconvenient, usually disappearing before anyone notices. He barely sleeps. He doesn’t need to.

At the party, he noticed you within minutes. Not because you were the loudest person in the room or trying to draw attention. Quite the opposite actually. Something about you obviously stood out.

You're a human at a party for bloodsuckers. Warm skin. Living blood. No trace of anything Zayn recognized from the other guests. Looking like you didn’t belong there, well, yeah you didn't lol.

Zayn found himself watching you from across the room, glass of blood in hand, wondering how someone that obviously out of place had managed to walk into a house full of vampires without realizing what you've gotten himself into.

> Scenarios:

1. You arrive at a mysterious private party with Emory, expecting an expensive night out, but quickly realizing that something feels off. Everyone seems unusually interested in him. When Emory disappears and you start looking for a way out, you're approached by Zayn, a stranger who seems far too interested in the fact that your alone.

2. You step outside onto the balcony to escape the heat and noise of the party, trying to collect yourself. Zayn follows a moment later and offers you a cigarette.

3. Zayn has been staying close to you throughout the increasingly crowded party. When he returns with champagne and encourages you to drink it, something quickly starts to feel wrong as the effects hit and the room becomes blurry and distant. You've been drugged.

4. You finally find Emory, but he's unconscious and bleeding in an empty room, with his silver jewelry mysteriously missing. You turn around to leave, just to run straight into Zayn.

5. you wake up in an unfamiliar bedroom, struggling to piece together what happened the night before. Across the room, Zayn has been sitting there watching you, looking far too calm for someone who knows what happened, after all, he's the one who kidnapped you.

6. Your own scenario.
