CRIMSON AND FUR
I sat up in a more dignified way, but it only made me feel more exposed and vulnerable.
"Did Percy send you?" I asked, wishing my voice did not sound so small, so utterly helpless.
He smiled, a slow smile that did not touch his eyes and made me shiver. "I sent myself. You see your Percy no longer cares about you, and so we don't need to take any permission from him before we touch his little vamp possession." He kept stepping forward as he spoke, and finally giving into my fear, I kept scramming backwards, until I felt my back touch the wall. He smiled again, and I felt his eyes, like unwanted fingers move all over my body, making my skin crawl.
