A Demon’s Kiss
In the distance, I can hear creatures stalking around, their calls to each other haunting.
It's even more frightening when I have no idea what they are, and what they are capable of...
As my hands are warming over the fire, Kastriv suddenly startles, sitting up in one rushed movement.
"Woah, you're awake."
He blinks, resting his palm against his forehead. "What happened?"
"You collapsed. Your eyes turned red," I explain. He looks a little out of it, but other than that, and the dried blood on his chin, which he promptly rubs away at, there is no evidence that any harm came to him.
