Chapter 5: Bloodline never lies
I open the door slowly.
I step out of my room for the first time in a long time. I don’t even remember the last time. The only time I think I ever came out was when curiosity got the better of me and I wanted to see what the rest of the house looked like.
All I saw was a dark, spooky hallway, and I back to my room immediately.
As soon as I’m out of my room, I feel it; a drastic change in temperature.
Hmm? Why is it suddenly h–
"Are you Charles?"
My heart tightens like it just seized up. That voice.. cold, deep and calm, way too calm.
I raise my head and see him.
A giant.
His eyes– piercing and icy blue; are staring straight through me. Not at me.. through me. Like he can see everything I’ve ever done, thought or felt.
His eyes trace my hair. Yeah, it’s probably the color, it’s abnormal here. Black hair, red eyes; doesn’t exactly blend in.
