- Alexei Sokolov:
The next day came, and it was one of those mornings where everything felt a little slower, a little heavier.
Damon and Nikolai woke up earlier than usual, ready to get to work.
Dimitri was going with them today, too because they needed to walk through a part of our territory they weren't supposed to be in, and Damon insisted on going with them.
Something about making sure they didn't run into any dragon shifter.
I guess it made sense.
It was dangerous out there for any other creature, and if they weren't careful, they could run into trouble.
But still, the whole thing left me at home alone, with nothing to do but kill time.
So, here I was, sitting on the couch in the living room, just flipping through the channels, and watching TV.
Barbie was curled up in my arms, sleeping soundly as I gently stroked her little head, trying to keep my mind off how lonely the house felt without the others around.
