330 The Calm Before The Storm

(Unknown Starship- Lower Deck)

There was an uncomfortable silence between Sophie and Lily as the pair moved through the endless labyrinth of corridors and rooms.

It wasn't by choice since Sophie genuinely didn't know what to say to break the tense atmosphere.

After only telling Lily the partial truth about why she needed to wear a mask that would block her vision, Sophie could sense that the little girl wasn't happy.

Sophie knew that this tension was entirely her fault.

But… she couldn't… 

How could she tell Lily the kind of monster she was?

Sophie glanced at the scattered body parts and messy bloodstains covering the walls and floor as she walked towards the section of the starship that housed the private cabins.

"Delicious…." Sophie whispered involuntarily as the memory of tasting sweet flesh surfaced once again in her mind.
