Alice froze.
Jake froze.
Evelyn froze.
Actually, everyone froze.
Because outside the attic window—
Two silver eyes stared back at them from the darkness.
Unblinking.
Watching.
Waiting.
Alice slowly turned toward Jake.
Very slowly.
"...Jake."
His eyes never moved from the window.
"...Yeah?"
"Please tell me silver eyes are normal."
Silence.
Nope.
Nope was not silence.
Silence was bad.
Jake's jaw tightened.
"Alice—"
"No."
She immediately held up a hand.
"No, because I know that voice."
Jake frowned.
"What voice?"
"The I'm trying not to freak you out voice."
Jake looked personally attacked.
"I do not have a voice."
"You absolutely do."
Jake looked at Evelyn.
Evelyn looked away.
Coward.
Total coward.
Then—
The silver eyes moved.
Not much.
Just enough.
Enoug
