”I’ve noticed. The energy of the area is electrifying. I can understand what all the hype has been. Greenbrooke must be….lively.” That had been a nice and safe word to use. With ley lines charging the area, that would mean any supernatural flavor would have gotten a boost off of the energy. That could be a double edged sword she would imagine. The feline didn’t want to think too heavily on that thought as Naomi focused on if she it was a smart move to consider living at the mansion. From one angle it had seemed idea. She would be able to save money and get a job so she could get on her feet. At this point, it had been nearly impossible unless she remained feral to save on hotel expenses. On the other hand, the thought of it made her stomach turn. It had nothing to do with the Family, but the association of being among a group.
The knot in her stomach started to twist, clenching tight as she could feel her heart start to race. The scent of blood penetrated her nostrils, causing them to flare. The sounds of blood curdling screams, howls, and screeches pierced her eardrums. Teeth gnashed, claws shredded, bones crunched and snapped. Blood had stained in the ground painted with a sea of bodies and guts that oozed bodily fluids. Flashes. Flashes of red and the stench of death. The sounds of chains rattled in the background and drew closer. Closer.
Naomi had not known how long she had been there paralyzed, frozen in her own haunting memories. Whatever Aislin had spoken about had fallen by the waist side. It had been as if her friend had not said anything at all. The feline had only came to when words spoken about a nickname shattered the flashback at had a death grip around her neck. Slowly she had blinked. Tears stung her eyes as they threatened to fall. Her gaze fell on the ground in no particular spot as she focused on the smooth stone. Naomi fought back tears. Not here, not now. Not in front of anyone. She swallowed hard, the leopardess’s throat felt raw and dry as she forced herself to take deep breaths.
The sound of her heart thudded in her chest as the feline tried to focus. “Fig...that’s nice.” Her voice sounded distant, shaky as it was only a mere whisper. All of her senses had been expanded. The sound of people laughing echoed in her head. The leopardess had withdrawn into herself as her arm wrapped around her torso. “Sorry,” she said shaking her head in hopes she would fully snap out of it. “Maybe I shouldn’t be here right now.” At the moment, Naomi wasn’t feeling safe and way too paranoid to remain sitting.
