Elise looked at the vampire bite, that seemed to blend in with all the other scars when he had his shirt off. She sighed. “This school can’t be good for you, but it can’t be worse than what you’ve already gone through. And at least you don’t have to love the people here, like you do your father. You can make your own choices and find ways to grow.”<br/><br/>She thought about Max for a moment, and then turned her mind back to her current situation. She wasn’t going to be able to leave the dorm. She could stay there, but how? Standing and staring at Max while he slept felt uncomfortably creepy. Sitting on the floor in a corner felt about the same. She hesitated a moment, trying not to think about one of her other options. After a moment she gave up trying to understand what the best option was and climbed onto the other side of the bed, trying to stay as out of the way as possible and pretend to sleep.
