Chapter 105

Katelina finished her shower and wrapped herself in a fluffy, dry towel, then headed for the bed. She got as far as turning down the blankets when Jorick's voice whispered through her mind like silk, "I'm back and I have company."

She leapt at the sudden intrusion, and stared around wildly as if the company would be standing in the room with her. "What? Who? I have to get dressed first."

"All right," he replied silently. "We're standing outside, waiting."

She looked longingly at the bed, where she'd planned to burrow under the blankets, then collected her smelly clothes from the floor and headed back to the bathroom. When she was dressed, she headed for the door, and opened it, a scowl on her face, and the stench of hay heavy in her nose. Without a word, Jorick entered, carrying a fast food bag and the tatty suitcase they'd abandoned at Oren's. She started to ask how he'd gotten it, but then she saw their visitor; it was Micah, the vampire with the tattooed face.
