Chapter Seven

When Frederik opened his eyes, he thought he still might be dreaming. He was in a bedroom, and not just any bedroom. He was in his bedroom. The windows were dimmed, but it didn’t feel overly hot, so it must have been just coming upon dusk, and he was wearing a pair of his pajamas beneath the soft quilt of his bed.

It took some doing, but he managed to sit up. He felt clean at least. Someone must have been bathing him, and a quick hand across his jaw told him that someone had also shaved him.

It made him shiver to think of an unknown hand moving across his throat with a razor.

His room was a mess. It looked like there had been a minor fire on the far side of the wall, probably some electrical thing, because there was a long strip of burned wallpaper rising up to the ceiling.

There was a single reading chair next to his bed, which hadn’t been there before, that also had a slash mark running down the fabric.

Once he looked at it closely, he realized it came from the study he used to sometimes read in when he was feeling bored. Or when he wanted to drag Owen in there for the two of them to have a little privacy.

He and Owen had spent some wild times on that chair.

There was a fire burning in the fireplace, but it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned out in a good long while either.

He wasn’t dreaming, and something was definitely wrong.

Frederik’s head pounded, and he was about to reach up to feel what was the matter with him when the handle of his door clicked and turned.

The door opened, revealing a blond-haired man that Frederik had never seen before. He was good looking and young, but he didn’t hold a candle to Owen. He was pale skinned, and despite that, his blond hair was still a shade darker than Owen’s as well.

The man stopped at the sight of him, amber eyes flashing in a mild panic, but that lasted for only a fraction of a fraction of a second before he smiled warmly.

“Awake at last. We were starting to get worried.”

There were more of them then. It occurred to Frederik that he could very well be a prisoner here if the humans had taken command of the lake house.

“Who are you?” he demanded, but the sound of his own voice made the pulsing in his skull that much worse. This time he did bring his hand to his head, and he felt the heavy bandage that was there.

“Here, let me take that off and have a look,” the man said.

Frederik eyed him with distrust, but he had no choice. He might as well do as the man said. For all Frederik knew, there were a dozen human guards outside, waiting to come in here at the slightest provocation to stick a sword in his heart or put a bullet through his head.

He nodded, and the man stepped forward.
