“Nothing,” I say, my mouth dry as I my heart continues to race. “It was just a nightmare.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“No, I’m okay,” I answer before turning to look at him. “Where’s Luci?”
“If he’s smart—"
“If he’ssmart, he’ll be long gone by now,” interrupts Seven’s voice from the other side as I turn to look at him, his hands behind his head as he leans back on his pillow.

“I think he’s in trouble,” I say softly.
“What are you talking about?”

“You mean like a ghost?”
“Sort of, though with blood it’s more like an echo.”
“Fuck,” Seven groans, flopping back against the pillows. “I was hoping we could spend the day in bed instead of out hunting down feral vampires.”
“Come on,” Dante says, throwing the blankets off as gets to his feet. “I think we know exactly where we’ll find him. We need to go before it’s too late. Besides, I’m pretty sure Evi could do with a bit to eatbeforewe plan to keep her in bed all day.”
