Nico's POV:32I looked down at the thick, red liquid swirling in my glass, tuning out as many things around me as I possibly could.28Social events weren't really my thing, but I kind of promised Xander that I would stay the whole time.26He said something about needing a wingman.17Which I don't think he really needed if he was trying to go for literally any other girl but Layla.10But no, he had to fall for the gold digger.128I began absentmindedly twirling my glass once again.2I guess things have been going well between them so far. After all, she's been talking to him ever since I gave her that dance.1Well, after our second dance. Since she insisted that since I made her wait so long I owed her two.

Nico's POV:33I set the phone down, having ordered what I needed for Khloe.60Another one of Khloe's groans sounded as I turned to face her.59She had been like this all morning.2"Geez Khloe, what did you eat last night?"210She barely opened her eyes, peering up at me from her curled up position on the bed.5"Too much," she groaned again, tightening the hold her arms had around her stomach," of everything."241I hummed a response.5That explains it.3Her body hasn't gotten used to that much food in such a short amount of time.17Although I wish she would have been more careful, I couldn't really blame her.1"OK, Well

Khloe's POV:41I tugged the brush through my hair as carefully as possible, working out the many tangles that had formed throughout the day.29I usually brush through my hair after I get out of the shower, but Nico was adamant on coming into the bathroom as soon as I turned the shower off this morning, barely giving me time to put some clothes on.182From then on I guess I just got distracted and forgot.9I sighed as the brush caught on yet another large tangle.14Turning my head towards where Nico was, I began to gently brush it out.He's been a bit off ever since this morning. Ever since his nightmare.5He still hadn't offered to talk about it, and I'm pretty sure that

Nico's POV:37I ended up sitting on my bed, back against the headboard and had Khloe sit with her legs on either side of me.753I figured that given our height difference, this was probably one of the most comfortable positions for us to do this in.486Khloe's eyes were pretty much glued downwards. It was obvious that she was nervous about this.166"Are you sure you want to do this now?" I asked softly.52She nodded slowly before lifting her head.1"Yeah," she responded quietly, failing to hide her nerves.I repeated her nod as a response, leaning forward.I didn't want to do this. I really didn't.68But if it kept her

Khloe’s POV:The room where the cages were was a fairly large one. It resembled a garage with its cement walls and floor.This too was different from my previous visits, as was the pungent smell of bleach that the room contained.The cages were set in a horseshoe shape around the room and were pretty much the exact size that I thought they would be.Eight feet across, four feet back, and about five feet tall. Just barely enough room for each of us to have a little room to ourselves as long as we were sitting down.All of us had been placed into the cages, and since It wasn’t that late yet, A couple Vampires were walking around us, watching to make sure we weren’t going to try something that they wouldn’t like.As far as I could hear, no one was. All I could hear was the quiet chatting amongst the pets.No one had stepped out of line yet.Doe and I each sat across from ea
