The morning sun filtered through the windows of Devon Manor, casting gentle rays upon Aria as she stirred from her slumber. Her uncle Ed, still visibly shaken from the previous night's attack by Kiran, trembled at her side, his frail form a testament to the intense brutality the now dead vampire unleashed.
With a voice weakened by pain and urgency, Uncle Ed beckoned Aria closer. "There's something I need to tell you," he began, his words laced with gravity. "Before I can't anymore."
Aria, her heart heavy with concern, leaned in attentively. "You can tell me anything, Uncle," she reassured him, her voice a soothing presence amidst the turmoil.
He took a shuddering breath. "There's a woman," he began, his voice weak but resolute. "I started seeing her recently. I wanted you two to meet, when… when this whole vampire situation in Coleridge is over."
