TVD: The Siphoner

Aiken Hill has always been different. Cold, brilliant, and detached, he moves through life like a shadow—observing, calculating, never letting anyone get too close. But when he transfers to Mystic Falls High, he’s not expecting much. Another school. Another town. Another forgettable chapter.



Until he feels it.



Magic.



First, a girl with flickering power buried beneath warm eyes. Then a boy who radiates something ancient and dangerous. Witches. Vampires.



But Aiken isn’t just another new student.



He’s a siphoner—a rare anomaly born with no magic of his own, yet able to absorb and wield the magic of others. A parasite. A threat. An outsider even among the supernatural.



And Mystic Falls?



It might just be the one place where secrets bleed into the open... and where Aiken’s own dark potential is about to be tested.
