Chapter 13: Assessed
"My, my...," Allegra trailed off, mouth a little agape as her open hands moved apart only to very slowly come back and reconnect in front of herself for a tame clap.
Katherine and Grace looked no different, their eyes held a nebulous sort of glint as they barely blinked, earning them a dreamy air.
"So, it is true then!" as though escaping the constraints of a reverie, Grace's voice rose, her smile growing brighter.
Arabella's gaze fluttered between all of them, bewildered by the sight of the three completely enamored vampires. They'd surrounded her, fawning over something she had yet to glimpse, let alone grasp the concept of.
Lady Persephone had her hands gracefully on her lap as she stared at Arabella. Her expression did not let much on, but the soft upwards curve around the corners of her mouth led the young woman to believe that the Lady was, at the very least, pleased.
To her left, Silas made that sizable chair seem small as he comfortably sat upon it. Aside from his chest rising and falling, the vampire offered no other sign of life. Features utterly vacuous, he merely glared at Arabella as per his usual.
The way in which light was bent and splintered into the numerous colors that produced it the instant it entered his eyes, helped create an awing and dynamic glimmer that resided in them.
A stunning display of brilliance that offered Arabella not a hint of comfort, regardless.
When Arabella had finally managed to wrench her eyes away from him, she took a few seconds to mutter, "W... What is...?"
"I've never seen it with my own eyes," Katherine slowly brought a hand up to somewhat cover her mouth.
"Seen it?" still confused, Arabella looked from one face to another searching for an answer.
