Chapter 6

The place is deserted, and a little part of me wonders if that's because everyone is out looking for Bram and I. It's perfectly plausible that's the case. But now my tracker is dead, or at the very least, dying, things could change at any moment. I just hope we're out of here before they do.

"Where will the knife be?" Bram asks.

"Isn't that the million dollar question?" I half-joke. That#s been playing on my mind as well. "I'm not entirely sure, but I'm guessing it's in the Commander's office," I tell him. Bram nods.

We lapse into silence as we make our way through the last corridor. Still no people, which is odd, but good for us. I'm not exactly inconspicuous with the colour of my hair. Nor with Bram in tow. There may be a lot of hunters about, but most of them knew each other. It was a small, and tight, community. Even if most of us, no them, hated each other.

The large ornate door stood in front of us, and I wave Bram closer. Even before, I thought the door was ridiculous, but now, having seen how Dimitri ran his vampires, I think it's even more so. There's no need for all the mystery and intrigue the Commander insists on. He'd probably gain more respect if he was open about his power.

And yet again, I'm showing how my perceptions have changed.

I'm a lot more disillusioned than I was. And I think that's a good thing. At least it means I can make more well informed decisions about my own life.

I press my ear against the door, trying to work out if there's anyone on the other side. Nothing, as far as I can tell. But I give it another minute just in case.

Still nothing. Not even the rustle of fabric against fabric as someone fidgets.

We're safe then.

I place my hand on the doorknob, and am completely surprised when it actually opens. "I guess he thinks his reputation will keep everyone out," I mutter.

Bram chuckles. "Sounds like someone on a power trip."

"Oh, he definitely is that."

Even already knowing there's no one in the room, I scan back and forth anxiously, looking around for someone who may have been lingering regardless. I want to be in and out as quickly as possible, but considering we're working off my six year old memory, that may not be as easy as I think it is.

"Let's start looking then," I say, exasperated already.

"Do you remember what it looks like?" he asks.

"Not really. I was young, and didn't know I needed to pay attention." I grimace. Annoying when life works like that.

"I thought as much."

"Did Dimitri not..."

"No. He just sent me after the knife. No description other than I'd know it when I saw it."

"Helpful."

"I trust Dimitri, I didn't think there'd be any complications in this."

"Until you got lumped with me, anyway," I joke.

"So far you've been more of an asset than a detriment," he admits, walking over to a shelf and going up on his toes to look at what's up there.
