Dark malice curled his lips.  \n“It would have been safer for you to just introduce yourself in public, instead of breaking into my home,” I told him, leveling the Sig 9mm at his chest.  \nHis smile widened. “That wouldn’t do, Kara. What needs to be done requires privacy.”  \n“I feel at a disadvantage. You know who I am, but I have no idea who you are.” I took in the stranger ’s dark hair, shorn close to the scalp. His tall, lean build displayed catlike agility with the most insignificant movements. Unconcerned by the firearm trained on him, he gazed steadily at my face, an off-putting look of familiarity lingering in his eyes.  \nHis casual attire of black joggers and a light-blue long-sleeve tee was the only thing modern about him. A distinct, wizened aura surrounded him that reminded me of vampires. No matter how hard vampires tried, it was obvious that they belonged in another era. But this man was breathing at a steady rate, the flush of his skin indicated a steady heartbeat, and humanity existed behind his mercilessly cold eyes.  \nI culled my mind for any hints of recognition.  \nMy attention was quickly drawn to his slowly moving lips. The air in the room shifted, becoming oppressively thick as my gun’s grip heated into molten metal. Dropping the gun, the pain barely registered with me before he launched with a preternatural speed that signaled magic. Strong magic. Just as he devoured the distance between us, I threw up my left arm to block a strike aimed at my temple and drove my right fist into his jaw with everything I had. Bone jarred against bone. He staggered back a step, blinking hard, working his jaw from side to side.  \nWith a feral snarl, in a burst of movement, he charged me. I twisted out of reach of his strike targeted at my nose. Taking advantage of his unprotected torso, I hammered a rapid series of punches into his ribs and gut. He sucked in a broken breath, pain flashing across his face. I was almost certain I’d cracked a rib.  \nCatching his hand before he could land a counterblow, I saw curved claws extending from his fingertips like ivory daggers. His thin lips curled into a triumphant smile as I shot an instinctive glance at his other hand—too late.
