Summary: Choosing a dagger to take to a ball is not so simple.


Zofia ran her finger along the blade of her favourite dagger; hesitated.

Showing up to Carmilla’s Centennial Ball without a weapon would be a slight to the other guests—a sign that one didn’t consider them dangerous.

Still—not this dagger. Another one: a steel and silver mix the slash of which was sharper than the bite of her fangs.

Her favourite dagger was sharper still and more beautiful; as much a decoration as a weapon.

It still carried the scent of her lover’s blood from before Zofia turned her.

Zofia wasn’t going to risk losing it for any event.
