★Anastasia★ Meeting Sophia had been surreal. I hadn’t expected to find comfort in another vampire, not after everything that had happened. But somehow, she had become an unlikely friend, someone I hadn’t even realized I needed. There was something about her that was so unnerving, but so reassuring. It was like standing at the edge of a storm and knowing that you weren’t alone in the chaos. Her presence was a contradiction. Dark and dangerous yet oddly soothing. I couldn’t decide if I liked her or if I should be running in the opposite direction. Either way, I appreciated her coming to me when she did. In a strange way, she had normalized it. Vampires were real. They were dangerous, but only because we feared them. Sophia was so normal. So human that it was impossible to see her as anythin
