Chapter 38: Oktoberfest Pt. 1 - Smile for Me

-LEENA-

“Everything smells amazing! I’ve never even smelled some of these foods before!” I can’t keep track of everything going on around me, eyes flitting back and forth between vendors, people, and events that all catch my attention.

Alec gives me a small smile, turning to face me as we wait in line to get admission tickets. “You going to be alright in there? Lots of people, lots of new things. Am I going to lose you to the masses?” It’s a teasing question, but I know there is truth behind it, worry of what could go wrong with Victor still trailing us. But we’re in a very public place, and I don’t think Victor is in this for the theatrics, let alone jail time, if he would try to follow through on his plan in a place like this.
