Valen POV
Rolling over on the couch, I am woken by noise up the hall. I rub my eyes and can feel that Everly is awake. Hear her at the back of the place, rummaging around and doing something. I try to go back to sleep but when I hear tiptoed footsteps in the hall. I crack an eye open to see her go to the front door, whispering under her breath to herself. I sit up, wondering where she is going so late at night. I hear the door unlock, then relock before hearing her footsteps again.
“What are you doing?” I grumble and she jumps startled.
“Nothing. Was making sure we locked the door,” she answers before padding off back down the hall. Now awake I go to get a drink, yet she felt off through the bond, it made me wonder why she felt scared? The scariest thing in this damn place was lying on
