"You want to talk?" She spat. "Did you even come from the front door? Why are you in my room to begin with!"

This was scary. How did someone enter her room and no one of the supernatural that were present in her house was aware of this? Usually they could smell everything!

​​

The man shook his head and pointed to the window in her room. "I apologize but if I enter from the front door I know I won't be seeing you. They would have me reported before I could even say your name."

She narrowed her eyes at the man standing in her room. She had seen him somewhere. But where was the question? She knew she saw him somewhere and ransacked her brain for the identity.

"Who are you?" She asked him as she stepped slightly into the doorway of the bathroom. There was a bell there for emergencies to if anything happened in the bathroom that the butler had placed there.

Her forehead creased as she paid attention to his details and just as he opened his mouth she gasped at the recognition! "You were with Noah!" She remembered as her eyes widened, "you stood behind him whenever I saw Noah. You are with him!" She pointed her finger at him. Oh dear god!

"Were," he corrected and raised his hand to his sides as it's surrendering to her. "Please ma'am, listen to me. I am Adrian." He introduced making her scoff.

"What?" She barked at him like a feral bitch The emotions and sorrow that she had buried deep inside came to surface as she glanced at the man. "Using after all I have been through because of you I will never listen to you, to whatever you have to say? Get out of here before I call everyone else!" She screamed at the top of her voice hoping that someone would hear and come in by now.

"They are asleep." He gulped and told her, she watched his eyes. "I had to to make sure that no one would come up while we were talking—'

"Talking?" She repeated maliciously, "I want to what makes you think that we can I would talk Adrian. I want you to leave immediately!" She growled having picked it up.

He shook his head hurriedly and Adaline could see that he was panicking. But why was he panicking? Had he not just said that he had made sure everyone was sleeping tonight while he talked to her?

"I-I just . ." He sighed and held his head gripping his hair and slightly pulling them making Adeline step back.

What was wrong with this man?

He shook his head. "Noah's gone."

"What?" She whispered at the revelation while she gave no emotions on her face. What does that mean? Where had he gone?

Why was he telling her this?

Adrian nodded. "it-ts's difficult to explain. But-but he's gone now. This someone else here and it's powerful. I do not know what it is. No one does."

"Adrian?" Adeline whispered a bit fearful of the man who was acting like a man gone mad. "Can you tell me what is exactly going on?"

Adeline still did not have any idea about many things in the world. Which is why she focused more on the word exactly so that she could know in simple terms and clear ones to what was going on.

Adrian nodded his head shakily but before he could speak, Adaline pointed to her desk chair. "Why don't you sit there?" She offered, "this is water there if you want you can help yourself."

He shook his head as he walked to the desk and sat on the chair. "I am a Vampire. Do you have blood?"

Adeline tilted her head incredulously and was ready to snap at him before it dawned on her. The man was panicking and he had clearly forgotten where he was. He was desperate for help.

At least it seems that way.

"Um," she shook her head, "I am sorry but its not available at the moment. Perhaps, next time I could . . " She made an awkward gesture with her hands. Perhaps next time? The butler would die from a heart attack if he ever saw her with blood in her hands.

He nodded. "Noah is gone." He repeated again and this time formly instead of the nervousness that he should before. "It is true. I do not know what happened. The witch that he had talked to previously is no longer here."

"Here?" Adeline frowned, "here as in she is no longer in this world or just dead?" The different realms had to be acknowledged.

He shrugged helplessly. "We do not know." He muttered. "No one knows. It's like she is gone, poof."

Poof? She blinked and lowered her eyes for a second before bringing them back to him again. "Adrian, why are you here? What do you need from me?" The little human that he was once ready to kill could not help him anyway unless he was wanting to use her as a sacrifice. If that happened then she was going to let out the loudest scream and wake up the neighbours who would surely come to help.

He opened his mouth but then closed did.

"Adrian?" She stepped forward, a small step, "you have to tell me if you want help?"

He looked at her and their eyes met. She blinked and in that very nanosecond he was gone.

She blinked again and he was really gone. She felt cold air into the room and her window was open. Adrian had gone just as he had arrived but she could see there was a flower that he left on the window.

She went to the window and closed it while latching the lock this time. She would tell Javis to tell the maids to lock the windows as well. She placed the flower on the table.

She looked around to see herself in the mirror and that's when she remembered that she had carried out an entire conversation with someone in just a towel.

Shit.
