"That wasn't so scary, was it?"
Serenica shook her head. "I am almost delighted by how painless it was."
They cleaned themselves and slipped back into their clothes.
Someone knocked on the door with the force of a thousand men.
Serenica had had enough of people knocking.
"Quickly! Get rid of the blood!" Herderg hissed as she was putting every item imaginable in drawers and secret hiding places.
"It's the city watch!" a man's voice yelled through the door.
"What do I do with it?" Serenica asked, her head spinning. How had they found her?
"I don't know!"
Serenica had no intention and no way of disposing of a cup of liquid neatly. She did the only thing she could imagine on a short notice.
She drank the blood, shattered the cup and hid the broken pieces under a rug.
It took a while to feel the disgusting taste. A distinct metallic mouthfeel, mixed in with the spicy aroma of the twitchleaf.
