Bab 38: Excuse me?

‘This is odd…’

Alone, Maria thought more about the situation.

The vampire-

Acted so friendly.

And even offered help.

However-

Nothing was free-

Not back on earth, and certainly not in this world, Maria knew that well enough.

Meaning something bigger was at play.

Something she couldn’t understand.

The whole thing about the trade, the night spending, and her unease-

Something-

Definitely didn’t feel right.

However-

Her back on the bed-

Eyes on the ceiling.

A lavish room.

One of the best-

Lots of furniture made of fine mahogany, elegantly designed, colored, decorated-

Just one painting on the wall… of a little girl vampire.

A crystal chandelier above and… a red flamboyant carpet below.

No matter how she looked at this-

This felt more like a royal room than a guestroom.

When she first came in here, the windows were shut tight and the curtain was covering pretty much every spot of the window.
