Chapter 34

Skylar's POV

I spent the next few hours wandering around the abandoned house. I made sure to walk into every single corner in the house, admiring the old fashioned architecture and the antique tapestries. It was beautiful in a way. I didn't really see Caden around though, except when I went back to the lounge again. After that, I spent my time upstairs.

The corridor upstairs was a bit more creepy; cobwebs strewn across the ceiling, gold-carved lamps on the walls, and every door that I opened upstairs turned out to be a room with a perfectly made bed. Maybe the people who used to live here had OCD or something. Everything was so clean.

Unlike my own room.

The sky had gone completely dark by the time I reached up in the attic. It was the only small room in this house, and very dusty. I had to look around the compact room for a few seconds to make sure there weren't any bats or wild rats in here-I genuinely hoped not.
