The Lair
“Which, I suppose is the right of the host when guests stop by uninvited. But we are shown into a lobby and taken up to a sprawling office on the top floor. There is little view from the windows, just the twinkly lights from the campus below, bleeding into the darkness. There must be an empty town outside these fences, but it’s unlit and easy to ignore in the pitch-black night.There is sleek furniture in the penthouse, and fresh-cut flowers and guards at the ready, but nothing refreshing. Nothing in this place soothes me. I can sense the strain of Sebastian’s fake calm. His jangling nerves make me jittery. He hates being here more than I do. It’s his spidey sense. Even though mine isn’t developed yet, I can sense it in him. Or perhaps it’s just that I know him well by now.I prowl the length of the windows while we wait. Back and forth, back and forth. I have to keep moving, because hunger is crawling along my skin, twitching my nerves. Smothering me. I haven’t been near this many human...s since I turned.MoreLess
