Feeding demons

Bella looked at the door as she sat up on the sofa. But then she had to make sure first that Alex was and then pass through the balcony instead of the door.

She stood up stealthily and walked into the room to check if Alex was asleep or not. Her footsteps were muffled with the carpet and her eyes were sharp as she looked around. 

There was darkness yet she could see everything perfectly, as if her eyes were made for it. She slowly held the knob of the doer and opened it. Walking in stealthily she looked at the bed. There he was like always, sleeping soundly, unaware of the storm building near him.
