"Alright, then. Your food should be ready in 15 to 20 minutes. If you need anything else just let me know" she said as she turned to walk away, the smirk never leaving her face.

"Hey Comrade, you okay?" I asked Dimitri. "Yeah", he said, not sounding too sure of himself. I knew he was lying, but I wasn't going to force the truth out of him. At least not now."So... Hows everything at court?" Jill asked, most likely trying to make things less awkward. "Oh, its good." Lissa replied. They along with the rest of the mori, started talking amongst each other. Of course, Sydney didn't contribute, probably not wanting to talk with "creatures of the night" any more that she had to. Dimitri was silent, as usual, his guardian mask fully back in place. Eddie was quiet as well, both he and Dimitri were in guardian mode. I didn't say anything either, not because I was supposed to be on guard, but because I was worried about Dimitri and a bit curious as to why he had reacted the way he did when he saw the waitress. Not long after, the waitress, Pandora I think her name was, came back and handed out everyone their food."I hope you all enjoy your meal and if you need anything else feel free to let me know." Her bored attitude was back in place, all traces of her previous smirk wiped away. I still wanted to know why she had started acting so smug when she took Dimitri's order, and why he reacted as well. As she turned to walk away, suddenly the sound of screaming caught my attention. It was too faint for any human to pick up on, and the mori were caught up in their conversation, I looked over at Dimitri and Eddie, and their expressions showed that they had heard it too. I glanced over where Pandora was before, expecting to see her walking towards the kitchen, or wherever she was supposed to go, but instead I caught a glimpse of her just as she darted out the door. Great, not only do we have to protect the queen, two additional royal mori, and an alchemist, but we also have to save a god damn human from who-knows-what. Great, this is just great. The three of us quickly got up and raced out the door, following the directions the screams were coming from. When we found the source of the screams, she was laying on the ground, lifeless. Her eyes staring out towards nothing, her lips slightly parted, her neck, and the rest of her body, covered in her own blood. When I looked away from the dead body, I just about went into shock at the sight before me. Holy shit. I thought to myself, my jaw dropping open.
