Chapter Eighteen

Potter

For two days and nights I froze my nuts off hiding in the alleyway opposite Kiera’s apartment. With each passing hour, the cold seemed to work its way through my flesh, until my bones felt like brittle sticks of ice. I was almost out of cigarettes too, as I had pretty much worked my way through the packets I had stolen from the campsite. I had eaten little over the last couple of days, the only food I had managed to find was a rat I had caught scurrying around in the dark. The blood had been hot and sweet, and had gone a little way to help my cravings, but there was no Hollows in this world to go back to should the cravings become too much.

My hunger had only been made worse, when the night before last, I’d seen Sparky arrive on foot carrying a bag of takeout. I could smell the noodles from across the street and my stomach had performed cartwheels. But I simply slunk back into the darkness and gnawed on what was left of the vermin. I tried not to let the whole thing piss me off. I knew I had to stay focused, that’s why I had fought the urge to follow Kiera on the few occasions she had left her apartment, like I had followed her before. I kept telling myself that what she did in this world had nothing to do with me. And besides, I took no satisfaction in watching her with Sparky or watching Kiera cry herself to sleep at night. That was one thing I had found difficult to deal with. Why had Kiera been crying that night? Something bad had happened and I wondered if Kiera’s and Sparky’s relationship was as tight as it had first appeared. I kept trying to tell myself to let go – to forget about the Kiera living across the street and to concentrate on the task in hand. I hadn’t left the alleyway once, not since the night I had gone after Kiera, and so far there had been no sign of the photographer. How long would it take for him to put in an appearance? For how many more days and nights could I risk hiding out in the street before I got arrested on suspicion of being a pervert? Maybe a night or two in the police cells would be a good thing – at least I’d get hot food and a decent night’s sleep. Sleeping was hard, not only because it had pretty much rained since coming back, and the ground was covered in puddles, I just couldn’t afford to sleep. Knowing my luck, the moment I got some shut-eye, the photographer would put in an appearance and the whole mission would’ve been just a waste of time. Instead of discovering the identity of the photographer, the only thing I would have discovered is that the woman I loved most in the world was dating a freaking
