Chapter 17

Dorian

Half way through the day, just as my stomach was really starting to growl, a noise from the attic caught my attention. Someone was down there, creeping around. My watch said it was full on noon, so there was nowhere for me to run. I had no weapon to defend myself. The idea of sitting on the trapdoor and trying to bar entry just felt too undignified to attempt. And so I simply waited, ready to fight, but fully expecting that whoever was coming for me would have one of those zapper devices to erase my memory again.

The trap door lifted a few inches and a corked bottle appeared, followed by another bottle, a goblet, and then a silver flask. The door gently sunk back into place after that and the soft footsteps faded into nothing.

The fact that Misty was willing to risk exposure to help me caused me feel even more grateful. I had to find a way to help her, once Haley was safe. Honor demanded it. I quickly availed myself of first bottle, planning on filling my belly with the second bottle right before sunset. The flask was obviously to keep me going on the road.

With the pains of hunger becoming less of a distraction with every time I took a sip, I sunk into a corner to think. I needed to find Haley. In order to do that, I needed to find out who was after Haley. In order to do that, I had to find Elaina. But she could be anywhere in the world; probably in the furthest corner of the world, if she knew what was good for her. She had to have known that my memory would eventually return and that I would start hunting for her. But where the hell would she be hiding? I wanted to howl with frustration.

After an interminable amount of time, the sun finally started to set in the sky. I quickly polished off the second bottle, and then gathered the flask, as well as the bottles and the goblet, so that I would be absolutely ready as soon as the last of the sun’s ray disappeared from the horizon.

As soon as I was physically able to leave my little hideout without too much physical pain, I slipped out the window, quietly closing the shutters behind me. My skin still sizzled a little in the twilight, but it was a bearable pain. I then rose straight up in the air, above the house as high as I could go. With a three-hundred-and-sixty degree view, I was able to orient myself as to where I might find the local, mortal population. There was a gathering of buildings off to the north that looked to be the center of a small town. I headed there with no further delay, keeping as high in the sky as possible. I doubted any hunting party was out to find me yet, with the sun scarcely having left the sky, but even if they were, it was unlikely that anyone would look so high up into the air.
