Chapter 6 : Foreplay before the Feast

So much had happened in the short time I’d been here. I stared up at the ceiling of my room, leaning over and grabbing some water, and taking a few sips.

Touching base with myself, I thought about the sections of the mansion I wasn’t allowed to access. Could that have something to do with the cult Alexander mentioned? The way he’d pointed everything out had been terrifying.

I swallowed, recalling how he’d pinned me there and explained how dangerous his kind was.

That was something I knew for sure. When vampires and other mythical monsters came out of the shadows as far more than just stories, I grabbed books to read about them.

I was wholly unprepared because what was out was just misconceptions on humanity’s part for every single one of them. However, the stuff we did get right was a bit frightening.
