I ran the news through Sang, who ran the news through Darius. Darius was fast to agree, and I texted Haru back saying to come at about two. She said she had some news about NEXUS and some other stuff. I wondered heavily on what that other stuff could be. While I waited for her to come, I lay on my pink curtained bed and became engrossed in deep thoughts about last night and my current situation. What had happened last night, anyway? I was shot, yes, shot, and when I touched my chest where the bullet had entered, it was smoothed over with skin, as if I was never wounded in the first place. As I thought about Darius and my life…er…undead life, I slipped out of bed and wandered around the mansion. Then, I seemed to stop automatically at an intricately designed door with carved dragon heads jutting out as if breaking free from an egg. The knob was in the shape of a golden heart, and the door itself was a dark, rich mahogany. It smelled so musty and good, and I couldn’t help but open it.
