Chapter Six
Cassian haunted my dreams through the snatches of sleep I was able to get. So I forced myself awake, testing the locks throughout the early hours of the morning. But no one came to set us free...or sneak into our room. Willa and Chaska slept fitfully, snoring and muttering.

“It’s okay, you’re safe,” I murmured from the end of the bed and glanced toward her. “I’m right here.”
She said something I couldn’t understand, and then lowered her head to the pillow once more, snoring a heartbeat later.
But we weren’t safe at all. We were in a castle in the middle of nowhere. Our hosts were Vampires that wanted to test us. They play with their food. The old woman in the hills had told me months ago.
