Ishtar
The werewolf was so annoying, but his constant questions spurred me to action. I sat on the edge of the fountain and ran my hand through the water over his coin. What had he wanted? Escape, definitely. It was what I would want. I was excited to show him the castle grounds, but then he changed his mind and walked back.
I hoped he stayed away from the ballroom. The fact that his footprints littered the hallway below indicated he'd wandered toward the room. What would he have done if he'd gone inside? The other vampires would have attacked him. They would have torn him apart, leaving him a mess of blood and bones. I didn't want to see him dead anymore.
And if his brother returned with Silas and ended this curse and found his brother dead, then what?
No. I had to keep it alive.
