I passed Dorian’s bedroo like hyenas while Dorian helped unpack Lauren’s things I had never seen Dorian in a full blown laugh, his cheeks stretching hile a deep ruhed aroundhu at you" sort of thing A nasty pang of jealously stuck in lared at the blonde intruder I got reen monster under control and headed to the kitchen to slip on : black yoga pants and a long sleeve gray t-shirt Deciding that the pants h to chase away the coolness of the night, I hurried to ed into jeans As I slipped past Dorian’s room, I did a walk by peek Dorian’s head snapped up and settled in my direction but I didn’t stopvael of Death and I knew just the place I grabbed my coat and closed the front door behind ht I liked to walk and the te on my jacket, I stuffed my hands in my pockets and headed for the one place that had becoe of town It wasn’t very big but what it lacked in size it raveyard would be charhtening There was soround A three foot stone wall encoed double gate welcorievers Thick oak trees with curvy bare branches shared the area with tombstones and mausoleums

As I walked down the worn thin path, I closed my eyes and reached my senses out Dorian told me withdeath, it would beco what I a able to detectdeath was a bit disconcerting Ihbor, the one who alaves and norance is bliss I knew Aiden killed a lot of people and I didn’t want a constant re it from him

"Does he know you’re out here by yourself?" Eddie chided

"I’o somewhere" I walked around him and up the path "I wanted to thank you," I told hi Dorian about

"So have you seen any other rogues around?" It suddenly dawned on ht now But this tiicbut I was surrounded by a horde of spirits and could use them to defend myself if I had to

"No," Eddie replied "But I’ues don’t back down easily The Veil will find out the rogue they sent failed and they’ll send more to kill you When they’re hired for a job they don’t stop until they accomplish it"

I walked over to a shosts floated toward me I smiled as they cautiously ca the they had died in was like ti What better way to learn about history than from someone who had lived it? I had no clue why I was so afraid to embrace my spirit walker side It was pretty awesoic? I could control and sense spirits and that was ten ti stuff
