I opened my eyes and saw a young beautiful girl @page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } Chapter Thirteen Drake raised a finger to his lips, then tilted his head in Stella’s direction. I followed his eyes and saw her still sleeping soundly. He then reached his arm out, inviting me out of the room. Feeling honored and beautiful by his undivided attention, I wanted to go with him, so I pushed down the negative feelings that were screaming at me and stepped cautiously forward. I trusted Stella’s judgment, and I knew she wouldn’t want me to leave her - but I told myself that he was the one in power and that he held both my and Stella’s lives in his hands. I had to tell myself to look down, not to stare at his perfect image. The doorway led to a wide hallway. The ceilings were high and arched over our heads, displaying breathtaking images of angels and demons at war. Glossy tables and elegant couches lined the walls between several doorways. I walked alongside Drake, unsure of where he was leading me and wishing I could feel him to know if I were in danger.
