I stiffen in the hold of the monster, he smirks at me, blood still oozing out of his nose before he says "outre guzse" and immediately his little minions vanish into black smoke.
I've never felt so helpless in my life, my mates are still in the room frozen in different motion positions, Ramses' hand is frozen mid air, in a gesture that would have been otherwise funny if not for the circumstances.
The monster lifts me in his arms like I weigh nothing, passing the front door like he owned the place.
"Oh no, I can hear the pulse of a timid human," he says and I don't know what the hell he's talking about, he swerves back to the house and I'm unaware of where he's going since I've only been in the house for a day. He's in the kitchen, turning his head around. He bends down with me in his arms and opens a big cupboard. "Aha! Found you," he says and I'm square faced with the maid, her scared large eyes looking at me like pin pricks in the dark.
