Alright, so this chapter was supposed to be longer, but because of it not making sense when I changed one slight detail, I had to remove a chunk of text. I'll explain why at the end of the chapter.

Chapter Fifteen

I couldn't sleep.

I wasn't sure why, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get to sleep. My mind was racing with thoughts of Lissa, Christian, Dimitri. Things I'd agreed to come here to forget about. Deciding I may as well go and do something instead of staying here doing nothing, I got out of bed and approached the door.

It was dark as I stepped out of my room, which threw me off balance since I was used to sleeping during the day and at least catching glimpses of sunlight filtering in through tinted windows. I walked slowly out into the hallway, stopped to close the door behind me, and started down the hall.

Remembering from earlier that there was always somebody in the main offices, I started heading that way, figuring that somebody would be there to give me something to do, or something to help me sleep. After a while, I finally reached the offices and opened the door.

The silence of the night air was immediately broken by a loud series of rapid clicking sounds and a sort of thumping beat which I recognized as music like one would hear in a dance club. Entering the small space and closing the door behind me, I tried to figure out which of the offices the noise was coming from.

Thinking I had found the right room, I opened the door and paused to take in the surroundings.

First, the noise had all suddenly and completely stopped when I opened the door.

Second, I could now see the source of the disturbance.

Well, sort of. There wasn't much light in the room. The main detail that I could notice was the desk in the center of the room with a very surprised looking guy sitting behind it.

He had short brown hair, skin that looked very white from where I was standing, and a small silver stud in his right ear that glinted from the light of the comptuer monitor. I guessed he was in his early 30s.

His right hand held a glass with some amber coloured liquid in it and some ice cubes. The left hand looked like it was resting on the desk.

However, there was one frightening detail.

I now noticed that this person was starting at me through a pair of blazing red eyes.

Well, shit...

So, there was supposed to be more detail of what was in the room other than just the guy sitting there, including detail about the desk and what's on it, as well as a touch more about the guy himself. Thing is, the next chapter didn't make sense this way, so I made an edit to make the room dark. But then it didn't make sense that Rose would be able to see all this detail in a dark room. so I just cut most of it. I'll add it at the start of the next chapter.

Review if you like it, it always keeps me motivated to know people are actually reading my work.
