Chapter 133
Wordlessly, Jorick and Katelina walked back through the basement, and upstairs, silently seeking the vampires Jorick had smelled. Their footsteps echoed eerily and each shadow seemed like an enemy waiting to kill them. Something moved in the darkness and she jumped. Jorick followed her terrified gaze and offered her a comforting smile. "There's no one there. It's just your imagination."
Imagination or not, she couldn't shake the feeling that someone was creeping along behind them. She spun around several times only to find the empty hallway staring back. When they entered a lavish den, her eyes darted around suspiciously. The room was large and the shadows were thick and long. The huge bookcases, massive desk, and heavy leather chair made the perfect hiding places for an ambush.
"I told you, there's no one here or I'd smell more than just a lingering scent. Besides, in case you haven't noticed, I can sense the presence of others."
"Is that one of those vampire super powers?"
