I relaxed under the warm spray of water, flinching when another crack of thunder tore overhead.

I’d been spot on. We’d spent the better part of an hour driving around, and then sat at the lookout for a while just chatting about TV shows, arguing about which superhero was the best in the Avengers movies. It was interesting hearing the differing arguments by the three men. It seemed all of them enjoyed the Marvel movies, although only Ollie and Marcus were big on catching them as soon as they released.

And we watched as those dark, ominous clouds rolled in over the acres of farmland. Our perfect view all around from the lookout was amazing, and I could see the Glasshouse Mountains with ease, and even the coast way in the distance.

We decided to head home once the rain started, and I spent the remainder of the afternoon watching some more ‘Good Place’ with Oliver until the power went out. Lucas offered to use magic to get it all going again, but I wanted to catch a nap.

Now I was in the shower, the warm water washing over me and waking me up properly after my nap. Apparently, either the power had come back on, or Lucas had sorted it out.

Either way I was grateful, otherwise I’d be showering in the dark.

Thunder rumbled and snapped outside as the rain hammered down on the roof, and I focused on scrubbing myself.

I shuddered as a loud thunderclap rattled the house, and I resigned myself to hurriedly washing myself now.

I knew it was an old wives’ tale to not shower in thunderstorms, but getting dressed and into my cozy pajamas sounded good now, along with a hot milo.

I finished up quickly and clambered out, sighing at the warmth washing over me from the heat light overhead.

I wrapped the towel around me, grumbling at the fact that I’d forgotten to grab my clothes this time thanks to my groggy state.

I headed for the bathroom door, flicking the switches off as I unlocked it and stepped into the hall.

Lightning flashed outside, lighting up the hall and making me jump in fright as a shadow caught the corner of my eye.

“Jesus, you scared me,” I gasped, willing my heart to calm down as I looked at Marcus, who was standing outside his door.

“Sorry,” he apologized, catching me by surprise.

I wouldn’t have expected an apology from him.

“Hey, are you going to come join us downstairs? I think Skip was going to make a roast tonight, although, I guess you can’t eat it…” I trailed off as I rubbed my arm nervously. Stupid. He was a vampire, of course he didn’t eat.

He gave a soft half laugh as he smirked, those frosty eyes trailing over me as the lightning lit up the hallway once more. I was tempted to cross over to the wall to flick the hall light on to better see him, but I resisted.

“I was already coming down to use my laptop,” he said, his smooth voice almost drowned out by the pounding rain and another rumble of thunder.
