CHAPTER SIX

When they all woke again, evening was just beginning. There were still a few daylight hours. Sarah thought it was amazing how she was now able to sleep during the day. There were those who could do polyphasic sleeping, where one slept for an hour or two, and then was awake for four hours at a time. But being able to become fully nocturnal was an unprecedented accomplishment.

She opened her eyes slowly and blinked. Both Gavin and Dylan were already up and she was alone in the bed. She rolled onto her back, and her breasts swayed. When she closed her eyes again she could almost feel the phantom memory of Gavin inside her, Dylan in her fist. She blushed and held her hands over her face, but couldn’t help smiling.

She found her panties and shorts on the floor beside the bed, and blushed a second time when she realized there was still the faintest dampness on them where she’d come. I’ll do laundry later, she thought, zipping them up and pulling on her T-shirt again. When Sarah made her way into the kitchen, there was an orangey glow coating everything. Sunlight was working its way like a needle through the atmosphere and pollution. She had always liked this time of day, just before it set. The way it made everything golden.

The art-deco furniture, the couch and the TV and kitchen table, were all arranged as she remembered but something was different. It took her a few moments to realize it wasn’t the apartment that was different, but the Shifters. Gavin was tapping his fingers on his pant-leg as he leaned against the window and studied the dying sun. He seemed distracted, and almost didn’t notice Sarah until she was right beside him.

“Gavin, mor-… right, evening!”

“Oh! Sarah, uh… evening, of course, yeah,” he stumbled.

She gave him a look, and was about to question him when Dylan came in from the other room. He had a dismal look on his face and when he saw Sarah it only worsened. She lowered her gaze, wondering if she’d done something to upset them.

“What… what’s going on? Why are you both acting so strange?”

Dylan indicated for her to sit, but Gavin stood standing. “We got your blood sample back from the council, that’s where we went yesterday. I didn’t want to tell you last night, you seemed so happy… and I saw how much effort you’d put into making that dinner for us.”

Sarah felt like she was getting a terminal prognosis from a doctor. “So… so what did they say?”

“Our Order has existed for centuries… it’s our duty to ensure the peace between Shifters and humans remains stable, and that we stay a secret. But there is something we didn’t count on – we couldn’t have, because quite frankly we thought it was impossible.” He’s stalling, Sarah thought, and bit her lip. “Your blood results, as far as the council are concerned, are doubtable – somehow you have Shifter markers in your blood-type.”

“But that’s impossible!” she stared at Gavin for confirmation, but he only glanced away.
