Darkness closed around them like a second skin as the hidden passage twisted deep beneath the museum, no wider than a coffin, no taller than a breath.

The air was damp, the walls crumbling. Rats skittered in the shadows. Old sigils, long-erased and barely glowing, pulsed faintly in warning as they passed.

Evangeline stumbled, her legs barely worked. The Hollow Song had drained her, though it still ripped through her lungs and bones like lightning. Her throat burned, her limbs shook, and the mark on her palm had split open, bleeding soft light down her wrist.

Xander caught her - though he didn’t speak - his jaw was clenched so tightly she could hear his teeth grinding.

Behind them, Lucien swore under his breath.

“Did we get it?” he asked. “The last fragment?”

"We got it.” Selene smirked, as she pulled out the scorched sheet of music from her coat, still humming faintly with cursed melody.

“And half the world’s eyes, along with it,” Cassius muttered. His coat was torn, one blade miss

    The Next Day,The city wore the aftermath like a second ski - smoke still curled from the skeleton of the Valemont Museum, and news anchors painted the ruins in polite lies.“An act of terrorism,” they called it.“Unknown extremists,” some murmured.“Cult activity,” others speculated.No one said vampires and one mentioned the Song, because the truth was a language only a few could still speak. And most of them were either dead or hiding.Emma stared up at the shattered facade from behind the police tape, her coat wrapped tightly around her, hair pulled back, heels replaced with boots.She hadn't slept... not really, as the images wouldn’t leave her. Not the flames, not the screaming, not the chandelier crashing down like a fallen crown, and definitely not Evangeline - standing like something ancient in the center of the chaos, singing a note that shattered reality.“She’s not dead,” Emma whispered to herself for the third time that morning. “She never was.”Her breath steamed in the

    Chaos bloomed like fire as the red warning lights spun in frantic spirals as steel shutters slammed down over the arched windows.Panic rippled through the crowd like a virus - heels cracked against marble, glasses shattered to the floor, and somewhere, a woman shrieked loud enough to rattle the paintings on the walls.But Evangeline didn’t move.Her heart thundered beneath her ribs, pounding in time with the fragment’s song. It was louder now, echoing in her bloodstream, in her bones, screaming at her to act... to choose.Across the hall, Cassius drew both blades in a single motion, his tuxedo splitting at the shoulders as he lunged into the fray. A vampire disguised as a valet dove for him , Cassius spun and slit its throat, black ichor spraying the floor in a crescent arc.“Too many,” Selene hissed into her comm. “They’re swarming; there’s at least thirty on this floor alone!”“Lucien, block the lower corridor now!” Xander growled, already lifting a dagger carved from witchbone. “N

    A week later, the Valemont Museum - The House of Eclipsed Light - glittered like a diamond in the corpse of the city. It was cold, beautiful, and entirely indifferent to the lives that passed beneath its arching glass spine.From a distance, it looked like salvation: towers of sculpted crystal, cascading fountains, golden chandeliers glowing like fireflies, but Evangeline knew better. Underneath all the elegance, the Valemont was a cage with velvet walls and silver locks.Floodlights shimmered across glass spires, illuminating the figures gliding up the grand staircase in gowns and suits worth more than some of their souls. A black-tie charity gala, they said. “Historical Art Preservation.” What a noble cause and dazzling ruse.Inside, the museum’s marbled interior was a symphony of art, wealth, and deception. The red carpet bled into polished obsidian floors, and spotlights shimmered off golden frames and jewel-toned paintings. Waiters in crisp velvet uniforms floated through the c

    Still at Teatro Della Notte, the silence after death was always loudest.The stage was still slick with blood - black, steaming, and unnatural - but none of them moved. Not even Selene, whose fingertips hovered inches from the cursed violin again.“The violin’s cry…” she murmured, her voice distant, like it was trapped in a memory she hadn’t consented to remember. “It’s not just cursed, it summons. That’s what it was designed for... The Blood Sorrow Song - yhe perfect trifecta.”“Then it’s already begun. The aria woke something.” Lucien’s gaze slid to the trembling chandelier overhead. Evangeline stepped back instinctively as the floor beneath her vibrated - faint, like a distant tremor. The air felt heavier, like the walls themselves were breathing.And then, without touch… the violin exhaled one mournful note, stretched impossibly long. Not played. Not intentional.Alive, it moved like a cold wind through her bones causing Evangeline to gasp, knees buckling. The sound didn’t pierce

    The haunted opera house loomed like a memory too long suppressed, its bone-white facade cracked and swallowed by ivy, with stained glass windows that once refracted color now dulled by soot and age. Inside, the air was dense with the scent of mildew and broken echoes. Evangeline crossed the threshold last, her footsteps uncertain, her fingers twitching slightly at her sides. She’d told herself she could stomach anything after the In-Between - monsters, magic, gods, but murder scenes was another thing entirely.They moved in silence through the gilded corridors, led by Selene, whose black boots whispered over dusty red carpet. Lucien flanked the left, claws not drawn but itching beneath the surface. Xander kept behind Evangeline, eyes scanning every shadow, every cracked statue that lined the marble alcoves. Cassius walked ahead, blade sheathed but hands loose, like a predator in perfect control.“This place was warded,” Selene said, eyes flicking to the vaulted ceiling, where faded
