A strong smell of mildew hangs in the air as Carlisle creeps through the house of his ancestors.
Marked for demolition, the huge building creaks and groans even under his light vampire feet.
Carlisle's unlikely to encounter humans in this unsafe place, which makes him bold enough to venture into daylight to search for traces of his long dead past.
He follows the faint scent of ancient paper to a window seat where the bench has been removed, and from amongst the rubbish retrieves a small bundle, forgotten through the ages.
A treasure.
He beams at his father's familiar script.
