Creatures of the Night
Chapter 23 - the world of shut doors and countless walls
(TW: graphic depictions of violence (stabbing), blood, mild panic)
(The title of the chapter comes from "The Ruins of Bam" by Garous Abdolmalekian.)
Roman sliced and buttered Dorian a piece of bread from the loaf Patton had baked just before their whole word had flipped around, pretending not to notice Virgil stand with his back pressed against the pantry door, right where he could see both Dorian and Remus.
The demon sat innocently on one of the kitchen stools, waiting for his food. Roman glanced over at the hobgoblin, who was nonchalantly blowing snot bubbles to entertain himself. Remus didn’t seem all that concerned for his own safety. Either he didn’t care about his own well being, or was confident Virgil would petition for his survival.
