Nightmares came as always when sleep eventually came. He woke in more pain than he went to bed. His face was a mess, he didn’t need a mirror. He felt it, probably had a swollen eye. He knew his lip was busted in several places.
But he had a few jobs to do. If he closed his eyes he felt the horde, he could track them down, kill them. End this connection. But Nox knew this wasn’t going to end with it. He had to learn to live with it, control it or he was going to end up like his father — a drunk, dead in his own vomit.
He sat in the dim light of his orb hanging over Lily. He checked his phone to see if Raffe had responded, finding it empty he turned it off and stuffed it in his hoodie. He needed a shower. Safest place was the club but that meant seeing the girls with his face a mess.
He pulled his hoodie up over his head and wrapped up all bedroll and secured Lily’s in her water bed and headed to the club via the tunnels. Last thing he wanted to see was people.
