As I stayed here for almost three weeks, I’ve already studied their sleep patterns, when they are not in the mansion and when they are in. That’s what I’ve been doing everyday, observing them. I successfully entered Asher’s room and took the blue book. I didn’t have the chance to sleep because after I took the blue book, I didn’t waste time but read it all.

His words carried weight. The realization settled like stone in my ribs. This wasn’t bad luck. Someone had been following me. Waiting. And they weren’t done yet.

I sat at the edge of my bed, watching the treeline from my window. The shadows seemed darker than usual. Then—movement.

I have always wondered if they ever sleep, and if they do not, maybe it's because of their conscience, but with what I see now, I'd say that I am wrong and that suspicion of mine is wrong. At the moment, I just continue to admire what it is I am seeing before me. I stand stagnant, attempting not to make any noise that would make his vampire ears pick up on my presence here and cause trouble for me—more trouble, if you understand.

Blake I wake in the dead middle of the night to the feeling of being watched. The voices in my head skitter through my gray matter, whispering, tittering like they’re holding conversations with each other that they don’t want me to hear. Hushed whispers from the heavens cease abruptly as I sit up, rubbing my eyes, and look down at where Marianna is curled beside me, her head resting between the pillows.
