Elian's Secret (1)

Swiftly turning to look at tonight's intruder, Elian's vile gaze switched into one of surprised confusion when he saw no one but an empty hallway. An eerie silence occupied the space, leaving him slightly unnerved, and he was just starting to take note of the absence of guards in this particular hallway.

Did Elijah do something to them?

Staying alarmed, he looked back and forth, his hands going inside his long coat and feeling the hilt of the blade he had kept there for safety reasons. His footsteps echoed softly as he surveyed the corners of the hall carefully, the only sound he was capable of hearing besides the sound of his own breathing.

He couldn't have imagined it, Elijah's forbidden presence still filled the hallway, it was impossible to avoid it. He had his suspicion that Elijah would show up tonight, and if he's here, there'll be more Fiends showing up to the party as well.
