Eve stared at her phone, bewildered. She didn't understand why Victor was so insistent, but there was something in his tone that compelled her to comply.
She walked over to her window, the night air cool against her skin as she pushed it open. A cool breeze drifted in, rustling the curtains. The campus below was bathed in moonlight, a tranquil scene that belied the anxiety building within her.
Her mind raced with unanswered questions. What was Victor planning? Why did he tell her to keep her windows open?
As the night deepened, Eve settled into her bed, the window still open as Victor had instructed. She couldn't help but replay the events of the day in her mind, from the attack to the mysterious letters, and now Victor's strange request.
Meanwhile, Victor exited his dorm through the window with a swift, fluid motion. He moved silently across the rooftops like a shadow. His vampire abilities allowed him to traverse the campus swiftly and undetected.
