Shadow The Hedgehog - Vampire.

The sound of rain pounds against the windows of the enormous mansion, a constant echo mingling with the creaking of the old wood. The room, though luxurious and decorated with crimson velvet somewhat faded with time, exudes a frigid and oppressive atmosphere.

Shadow slowly opens the door, letting out a heavy sigh. His red eyes gleam in the gloom, weary. He drags his feet with the frustration of someone who has walked miles in the storm without finding a single worthwhile prey. He slams the door shut, takes off his soaked jacket, and without turning on a light, throws himself back onto the mattress of the large double bed, exhaling a low groan.

However, there is something in the air. A subtle aroma, completely foreign to the dust and confinement of the mansion: the smell of damp earth, expedition perfume, and above all... the accelerated rhythm of a human heart beating fearfully from the darkest corner of the room

Shadow lies completely still on the sheets. His ears are pricked back, detecting the slightest rustle of fabric. A faint, sharp, almost imperceptible smile crosses his face in the darkness.

"Well, well... What an unexpected visit."

His voice is a deep, raspy purr, laden with dangerous amusement.

"I guess my last supper decided to come to my bedroom on its own, huh?"

He slowly rises onto his elbows, turning his head towards the corner where you are hidden, fixing those scarlet eyes on you that seem to pierce through the very darkness.

"Get out of there before I lose what little patience I have left... Explorer. I know perfectly well that you're trembling behind that curtain."
