IT left her with a mix of emotions when they pulled back into the cabin site. Evan was on a fairly precarious perch, along the northern rocky slope above the cabin. Niall muttered something about how nice it would have been if he waited until he had the ropes to start scaling cliffs. âImpatient bugger.â
To Alanna, it looked like the vampire was evaluating the sky, which still held various dark streaks, residue from the long-past sunset. Since he didnât acknowledge their arrival, Niall nodded to Alanna, indicating they would unload the car and leave him be.
However, after she put things away, she couldnât shake a sense of foreboding. When Niall was occupied, she slipped out to figure a way up that slope. Before she could set her foot to a likely path, though, Evanâs voice came into her head, clipped and short.
I have no need of you right now, Alanna.
Yes, Master. I apologize. Chagrined, she turned back.
Of course, if heâd be consistently one thing or another, maybe she could keep up with how she was supposed to act. She immediately chastised herself for making her Master responsible for her proper behavior, but confusion was an acceptable reaction. Heâd given her what couldnât be called anything but what it wasâaffection, attention, approvalânone of which he was required to do. Sheâd been acclimated to doing without those things from her Master. But getting even a taste of it was like a drug.
She remembered her resentment toward Adam, the brusque answer sheâd given him. Two months later he was dead. She was mature enough to know that one moment didnât destroy their love for each other, but she regretted it was the last face-to-face conversation they had. And not just because she loved him. It was as if that simmering regret held a wealth of other messages for her, important things she couldnât decipher.
She sat down on the path. Evan wanted her out of his field of vision, and here, sitting among the silent trees, she accomplished that. She should cook something for Niallâs dinner, for Evanâs later sampling. She also hadnât completed her two hours of âme timeâ yet. Maybe sheâd draw a picture of Adam. Sheâd tear it up of course, because it was one of the InhServâs top rules, not to have any possessions. But why would anyone other than her want a picture of a servantâs face? A servant who was gone.
Putting her head down on her knees, she freed her hair, letting the wind blow it over her shoulders and forward so it hid her face. Her shields against the terrifying reality she was facing were thin, but since sheâd been taking the blockers, sheâd been managing them better. However, todayâs error had cracked them back open, such that the fear kept coming back at her like a boomerang, refusing to let her be, especially with no current occupation for her thoughts.
The waiting was the worst part, wasnât it? Everyone feared the unknown, but she feared certainty. She would be with Stephen for all eternity.
