Scarlet beckoned to Rob. "You can let him out."
Without hesitation, the vampire obeyed. He made sure to flash me a warning glare before turning the key in the cell door. Being the friendly companion, I returned the glare with one of my own.
Now, I was starting to wonder why Rob was here. He knew nothing of what Scarlet was planning. Yet, he remained loyal, following her every order. What they share could never be love. If it was, it would always be one-sided.
Scarlet's heart belonged to power. It wouldn't ever change, and the witch never hid her poisonous desire. So, he could be sticking around because Scarlet promised him something: a chance to be more powerful, to be a part of my super hybrid pack.
Now, there's a thought.
Rob pulled the cell door wide open and thrust the enamel bowl into my chest. My fingers managed to grip it before the bowl clattered to the floor. Without saying a word, the vampire strolled back over to the table.
