Day had turned to night now and gratefully nothing had changed as of yet. My watch ticked toward midnight, and still we hadn’t seen the witch come out. I sat with Damien in the vehicle alert to any change that may happen, attentive to any danger that may threaten Elizabeth's safety.“She hasn’t come out yet,” he said finally, breaking the silence. “It’s been hours.”“I know.” My eyes didn’t leave the glow of her apartment windows, faint slivers of light passed through drawn curtains . “I wonder what it is they’re doing in there.”Damien shrugged, though the tension in his jaw betrayed him. “Talking, probably catching each other up on the latest gossip. Women tend to do that.”I almost smirked but didn’t. My gut wouldn’t let me, something about the night had been wrong from the beginning, and when that scream cut through the air. It was unmistakably Elizabeth’s, every muscle in my body went taut.I was out the door before Damien finished cursing under his breath, my boots hitting the

The night air clung to me as we left Elizabeth’s building. My chest was already heavy with too much. Damien kept his silence too, but I felt his eyes on me.
