Chapter 7

I'm woken by an abrupt banging on my bedroom door, and groan loudly. I've got a splitting headache, whether from the burns, the blood, or too much sleep, I'm not sure.

"Will you hurry up in there?" a familiar voice demands. "I don't have all day to be babysitting a newbie vampire."

"And I don't have time to babysit an asshole," I mutter in the direction of the door, not intending for him to hear me. Then again, he may have done with his vamp super hearing and all that. I'm sure I'm safe though. Dimitri pretty much seems to be the one in charge, and he's made it clear I'm okay. Ergo, even Bram can't do anything to me. Even if he does hate me.

I pull on the clothes that have helpfully been left at the end of my bed. My money, if I had any, would be on Remus for making sure they're there. He's exactly the type to do the little things like that.

The clothing is practical, and pretty much what I'm used to. Definitely Remus then. The leather is new, so a little stiff, but it fits me perfectly. By force of habit, I add my holsters and weapons. Except for the holy water. Having seen what that can do to a vampire, I have no desire to carry it again. Sure, if someone attacks me, I can use it against them. But it could easily backfire and end up me covered in the stuff and melting into the ground. I'll pass, thanks.

I check myself in the mirror, the no reflection thing having long been disproved, and am only a little surprised to see I look healthier than before. My skin is brighter, my hair shinier, and I can almost swear my body is filling out in a very different way than before. Well, okay, not very different, but I certainly look like I have more curves than before. I can get used to this.

Satisfied, I turn away from my reflection and close the short distance to the door. Swinging it open, I smirk when I see a clearly disgruntled Bram standing on the other side. He's clearly aggravated. And glaring. I won't admit it aloud, not even to my non-existent best friend, but the brooding angry look was kind of sexy. It's a pity I don't sleep with assholes. For him that is.

"Mor- Evening," I correct myself almost instantly, berating myself for my slip up. It may take a while for me to get used to the day-night switch around. Theoretically, vampires can be awake during the day, but I understand why they choose not to be. We. Why we choose not to be.

"Yes," he says gruffly. Oops, I must really piss him off. What a shame.

"I take it you're my escort to Eric?" I ask sweetly, and his frown deepens. Excellent, killing with kindness it is.

"Yes." Even before he finishes saying the tiny word, he's spun on his heels and is walking off down the corridor.
