HELLHOUNDS.

Still creeped out and not wanting to linger, I take a quick shower and collapse on my bed. There was a sense of safety that came with being tucked in blankets all warm and toasty.

My thoughts drift; ranging from my parents, wherever they were, I doubt they’d have managed to keep mama at home once she finds out I was missing, then to the Academy and to Blue... I missed my boy so much. I had tried to downplay my urgency to leave this damn realm, hoping it’d make them slack off and let me be, making my escape easy. But I think I needed to change tactics. I couldn’t just wait for the others to come get me... I mean, would they even?

I force my thoughts away fearing the emotions building up in me and they veer to Nyx. He hadn’t shown up since the day I put my foot in my mouth and I missed him.
