Silas's POV

After five minutes, a black car stopped in front of us. But it wasn't Nekol's car, so I didn't pay attention—until the window rolled down, revealing Damon sitting inside.

"Get in, both of you," he said.

Theron took the passenger seat beside Damon, so I sat in the back.

"How come you two are together? And where were you last night?"

Of course, he was going to ask that—Theron is his brother, after all. Theron told Damon everything, including details about his friend. Didn't he tell me not to tell anything about his friend? And now he's spilling it all himself. But I guess it's different since Damon is his brother.

Damon listened silently, glancing at me from time to time through the rearview mirror.

"Silas, your eyes are red," Damon suddenly said.

"Huh?"

"Your eyes are red. Close them; you'll feel better."
