Alleyway — Earth, USA
A violet vortex twisted open against the grimy brick wall of the alley, swirling with otherworldly light. From its glowing center stepped three figures — a silver-haired woman with piercing sky-blue eyes, flanked by two ethereal beauties.
Zara blinked as the portal faded behind them. The narrow alley was dark and cramped, with cracked pavement and tall, looming walls. She tilted her head, confused by the setting.
"BANG!"
"Ah!" Zara flinched, nearly jumping. Her eyes shot upward — an old woman was tossing black garbage bags from a balcony above.
She put hand on her chest muttering,
"w why is she throwing garbage from above,"
Lilith scrunched her nose, placing a hand over it. "Ugh… what is that stench?"
Grace followed suit, using her arm to block the odor. "It's probably our heightened senses. Vampires don't exactly do well with… human waste."
