Jael rolled in bed as he tried to get some sleep. The room was dark but it still didn't help. He would rather be in the basement with Kieran trying to figure out the Paler they had caught but he couldn't do that.
Kieran had called it a night and said something about going to sleep. Jael couldn't force it and he could see how tired Kieran was. The vampire has encouraged him to get some sleep but he had known he wouldn't be able to. So, here he was rolling around like a child but there was still no sign of sleep.
He had not been able to sleep more than two hours a day since he got into the Xanthus estate and the chronic headache was a constant reminder. He winced and rolled again lying on his back.
His eyes were closed as he hoped he would fall asleep soon enough he remained unmoving in this position. Suddenly, he shot upright, his eyes flying open.
