Samantha couldn't remember exactly how she fell asleep last night, but when her eyes fluttered open, it was already morning. The air outside felt crisp and cold, which was normal for the civilians of EmptyHollow as they shared half of the borders with the North. Sitting up on the bed while rubbing both her arms to keep herself warm, Samantha's gaze wandered to Ivan's bed, and the Vampire Lord who she normally found sitting on his bed every morning, was absent today.
"He's not here." Samantha did not wish to concern herself about the disappearance of someone who tortured her all through the night, but his behavior last night had been quite strange to her. He seemed more upset with her than he usually does on a normal day, and then he just left the room without saying anything else. Even now, he still hasn't returned from wherever he went to, and she was starting to wonder if there was a problem she was unaware about.
Again, why is she stressing herself??
