T25 Round 2 - Red (Heidi)

Sanguine glitters on my fingernails, bringing out the lighter hues in my eyes as I cover the irises with blue contacts. My lips curl into a secretive smile when I take in the violet eyes now in my reflection.

It's easy to intrigue humans.

I adjust my sweater, my palms smoothing my skirt over my hips, and I am nearly ready.

I stand, pushing my padded bench beneath the vanity, one of many gifts Demetri has lavished upon me. It is unnecessary… that is the appeal.

I plunge into the sea of humans, their cloaks as red as their blood.
