The pain of missing her family gnawed at Szeina. It was eating at her after Yvann truly left for school.
She had nothing to do.
Coming back to Alwreck High was not an option for her.
At least until Officer Von allowed her to come out in the open. He still believed that she's a key to him finding the vampire culprit.
Szeina believed him.
She believed his theory was right.
But she can't tell him that. Telling him would entail revealing her identity as well.
It was not an option.
She can't easily trust him even when she wants to.
The fewer people she surrounds herself with, the better.
Those Rebel creatures may still be after her.
A soft knock disrupted her thoughts. The door of the room opened in a small crack.
Zoe poked his tiny head and looked at Szeina, who was lying in the bed.
"Hey, little guy. Come in." He giggled, bouncing towards her in a matter of seconds.
