Chapter 6

Cherry signalled to him to wait. Drake stared back at her in disbelief as his eyes stayed wide with panic and he hit the inside of the case again with his open hands, wishing he could force the door open as she stepped out of the circle and hurriedly extinguished the flames on each of the black candles. As tiny trails of smoke escaped from the darkened wicks and added to air filled with burnt dandelions and a trace of sulphur, she went over to the glass case, her hands still shaking as she hurriedly pressed both catches and the door sprang open. Drake pressed a hand against the half open door, pausing to lean on it and breathe in fresh air.

“Oh god that was terrible!” he exclaimed as he broke into a sweat, “I know I said I wanted to be displayed... one day, but when I'm dead, not now! How did I even get in there?” he paused to sniff at the air, “And what's that stink?”

She opened her mouth to reply but then heard footsteps coming from the entrance hall.

“I didn't lock the door!”

“What?” he said in confusion.

She gave him a shove and in his weakened state he fell back on to the chair looking bewildered at she pushed him upright, placed his hands on the arm rests and then positioned his legs.

“What are you doing?” he demanded.

“Not now!” she said urgently, “Just trust me – pretend to be ...a waxwork. I have a good reason for this. Let me explain later, okay?”

“A waxwork?”

She leaned closer, surprising him with a kiss to his cheek, and that cheek was now warm and soft confirming he was definitely, completely alive – there was nothing about this man to suggest that he had ever been less than alive...

“Just stay there and don't move!”

She closed the door of the case. It shut with a click and his eyes widened in panic once more.

“I'm claustrophobic!”

She turned back, put a finger to her lips and shot him a warning glance, then turned away as he froze in position, looking almost completely still save for the trickle of sweat that ran down his face, then she walked over to greet Raine, who she had not been expecting to see again tonight.
