Chapter Twenty Six: Who kidnapped my roommate?

I held Lola while she slept not just because I felt guilty for her pain but because she looked genuinely scared to sleep on her own. In the short while of knowing her, she had proved fearless but I had already brought this to her, and it hurt me that whoever was behind this couldn't take me, instead, they went after someone who literally knew nothing about what they wanted. I never should have told her.

I thought about telling Lola that he looked like an animal because he probably was, and he had one living inside him too but how was it going to make any sense? She would probably run away thinking I am nuts and that would be goodbye to the one friend and roommate I had finally made.

Besides, it was against the rules too to involve humans, I knew that much, so while she recounted how she told him everything and he listened raptly, suddenly becoming a different and calmer person when she finished stating everything I told her- probably knowing I know nothing or at least didn't tell her
