"Feeling any better now?" I asked, pushing myself to my feet. The world tilted slightly as dizziness washed over me
Alicia gave a small nod, her eyes fixed on the floor. "Yes…" She mumbled, still refusing to meet my gaze.
I didn't press her. "Then we should get moving."
I killed people after all.
We couldn't afford to linger. I reached into my ring and pulled out a dark, travel-worn cloak. With a flick of my wrist, I tossed it toward Alicia. "Cover your face. I'm not sure why, but people around here seem to treat vampires like they're walking curses."
She caught it and nodded again, silently slipping it over her shoulders and drawing up the hood until her face was lost in its shadow.
