Holding my breath I wait for it to resume, but it doesn't.“Ellie? Is that you?”Damn, she knows I'm here. “Yes Selene.”“Why are you lurking out there?” Her voice gets louder as she steps into the passage to look at me with eyes so bright they are like LED's.“I'm not lurking, I just got in,” I snap, immediately irritable.“I thought I told you to be home at a decent hour,” she chastises in that grating lilt of hers.“This is a decent hour,” I snark, walking past her and into the kitchen, looking for evidence of the person she was conversing with. “It's before sunrise when the world still sleeps, when magic plays and the underworld steps across the forest floor. And I got to watch the moon hide behind the mountains.”“Two in the morning is not a decent hour, young lady.”Turning to face her, I avoid her accusation, “Who were you talking to?”“No one,” she says, zipping past me so fast I would lose sight of her if I was human.“Selene, who were you talking to?”Rounding on me, her long platinum hair flits out with the sudden movement, “You'd know if you were home when I told you to be.”Closing my eyes, I inhale deeply, trying to find a psychic signature left in the room.
