Aiden had been sleeping peacefully. Years of discipline and military-like training at the hands of his 'specialized' teachers had taught him to sleep anywhere, anytime. He could shut down his mind and body at will. But that training also left him with a side effect—a sense of awareness that never completely shut off.
Even in sleep, he could feel someone watching him ,his senses nudging at him. His eyes snapped open, and on the next moment, almost jumped when he saw it—Serena, standing there, staring at him. In the dim light of the cabin, with only the overhead lamp casting a faint glow, she looked... like a ghost straight out of some horror movie. She was dressed in all white, the light catching her pale outfit just right to make her look like an other worldly spirit...
He sighed and took a deep breath, rubbing his hand over his face as he questioned her, "What are you doing?"
