One week had passed and it was early, and the apartment was unusually quiet without Elena's vibrant energy filling the space.
I stood in the middle of the living room, hands on my hips, surveying the area like a general preparing for battle.
Today, I was on a mission: to give Elena a taste of what the vampire realm would feel like. If I could recreate the atmosphere just enough, maybe she wouldn't feel overwhelmed when we got there.
Elena was at her morning shoot, so I had the whole apartment to myself to work my magic. It wasn't going to be easy I had to be both practical and creative, and most importantly, I had to make it feel authentic.
The first thing I needed to tackle was the lighting. The vampire realm wasn't as gloomy as the human world seemed to think, but it wasn't bright and sunny, either.
