Our foursome paraded the streets to the nearest tube station like a motley crew of young adult trouble. Trix and William headed up the front, side by side. Although they were both covered in tattoos, their personalities were on opposite ends of the scale. Trix was deadpan, a short woman with peach coloured hair, compared to William, a black-haired daemon who stood at over six foot tall. His emotions passed across his face with ease, each tainted with a sense of amusement. All of William’s words and actions came with a sense of detachment as if he was watching a particularly interesting video game instead of living.

Henry and I walked together in silence. We didn’t touch, but every so often his fingers would brush mine as we walked, as if seeking permission to take my hand. I markedly ignored him and clenched my fist. I was troubled, and a roiling feeling had settled in my stomach, doubting him. I couldn’t consolidate the actions of a man who loved me enough to mark me as his soulmate with a man that would have sex with me and just leave.

I shook my head to myself and bit the inside of my cheek until I tasted blood. I was an adult. I had been through enough in the last years, never mind the last few months, to know that I should have taken the good with the bad. I silently mad a pact with myself to enjoy the time I had because I didn’t know if Henry was going to leave again or if the Purebloods were going to kill me.

I didn’t need to ask why William had called into the Camden flat to join us for our impromptu drinking session, it was as plain as day. He was here as muscle. Another daemon to protect me from the wrath of Damian.

Was that what my life had become? Always running from monsters?

My internal struggles roared inside my head, and I grabbed Henry’s hand and held it tightly. Silent feud be damned, I needed to feel the cold skin of my daemon while I still had the ability to.

“I know you called William to help protect me against Damian.” I leant over and whispered. I needn’t have bothered trying to be quiet because as soon as I said his name, the black-haired daemon twitched but continued ahead without turning around.

Henry blinked slowly. “I have no idea what you mean.”

“Henry, I am Shrouded. At least for now, I am safe.” I said. “Aren’t you curious as to why they haven’t just swooped in and grabbed me. They are monsters, it would be pretty easy.”

Henry rubbed his chin with his free hand as we continued walking. When we came to a group of tourists outside of Camden Town station, he stepped aside to let me walk through first.

“It’s a game.” He said as sadness tinged his deep blue eyes. “It’s a much heartier chase if the prey thinks that it has a chance.”

“Did you used to play games like this?” I wondered, innocent curiosity in my voice.
