Twice Bitten (New Moon #1)

by Belle Harper

I didn’t sleep well, but I never did. Bad dreams. The clock on the desk read four twenty-three am, and I decided it would be as good a time as any to see what I had with me, what I needed, and to figure out where the hell I was. I knew I was still in Washington state, but where exactly was unknown. I was startled slightly when the soft knock sounded at the door. I looked over and watched as the clock switched over to a minute after seven. “Alexis, breakfast will be ready in thirty. Soap and towels are in the bathroom. You won’t be disturbed in there. The younger ones have been instructed not to come down to this end of the house.” I held the sheet up to my chest and looked around the room. “Yes. Okay,” I called out and listened as his footsteps went down the hallway. I grabbed some clean underwear and socks that I had set down for today and pushed the single bed back against the wall. Stepping out into the hallway, I could hear people talking down from where I came into the house last night. I took my things with me and made my way into the bathroom. There was no lock on this door, either. I groaned to myself. What was with these people? No locks at all? Well, I guess that makes it easy for me to leave.
