Chapter Eleven

Adelyn felt her chest start to rumble. Groaning, she opened her eyes and glanced down to find Salien, Pytho's cat, lying on top of her chest and purring loudly as it stared at her from underneath heavy eyelids.

"I knew there was a reason why I hate cats," she sighed to herself as she carefully lifted an arm and tried nudging the gigantic cat off of her, jerking her arm away whenever Salien's ear and tail twitched in annoyance. She certainly did not want to get scratched again, but the cat was heavy, and she wanted to go back to sleep.

When it became clear that the cat wasn't going to budge, Adelyn sighed and dropped her head and arm back onto Pytho's bed. Reaching a hand up to rub her eyes, she glanced at the computer that sat on Pytho's desk across the room. The bright screen told her that it was just past six in the evening.

"Oh god, I slept all day," Adelyn yawned. She was still tired, but she knew that she had to get up if she wanted to try and get back onto a regular sleeping schedule.

If that was even possible, she thought sarcastically to herself. She had a feeling that her work schedule was about to become a night shift.

If you could count trying to stay alive as work.

Exhaling loudly, she tried to push away the memories of what had happened last night in the basement. Her lack of sleep and frustration had caused her to lash out, and she ended up in a position she never thought she would be in.

Dragging a hand up to her neck, she rubbed the back of it lightly. She wasn't sore, and she hadn't seen any bruising on her neck when she checked it that morning. It was pretty surprising considering Cain's hands had felt like bands of steel digging into her skin.

She reached up and gingerly touched her nose. It still hurt, but it was more of a dull ache now as long as she didn't touch it. A quick look in the mirror this morning had shown her that, aside from the swelling, her nose wasn't completely disfigured. She prayed that when the swelling went down, it still looked normal.

If not, maybe she should convince Gregory to pay for some corrective surgery.

Snorting at that thought, she reached up and tried to nudge Salien off of her chest again. The cat must have been ready to move because she leapt off of her chest, pushing off roughly, and landed on the nightstand next to the bed.

"Ow!" She cried out and grabbed her chest. "Stupid cat," she grumbled as a little ball of grey fur suddenly rushed to replace the cat's position on her chest. Adelyn smiled as Sinatra settled into her side, giving her sad puppy eyes and begging to be pet.

"You little scammer," she reached down and petted him vigorously, feeling guilty for everything that her poor dog had been through so far. She was happy that Pytho had suggested that Sinatra stay with Salien.
