Chapter 34 The Hunt

• While the girls checked their coats at the door, I checked in my newfound confidence when faced with this posh environment. An hour later I was sitting in the lounge of Territory’s End watching Nikki and Mavy stare at dresses one of the attendants brought in. Mavy scrutinized each dress one at a time, while Nikki felt each one. When she found one she liked she would practically purr, which should have been weird since she was human. I felt out of place, the plush seat against my back was softer than anything I owned. I jumped as an ear splitting scream filled the air.
• “Try this one, Adea!” Mavy threw a dress on the lounge chair beside me. “And this one… and this one…” she said as she picked dress after dress from the new selection. I’d already tried on a couple of dresses and I was in need of a break. A knock at the door announced the arrival of another attendant. She walked through the door with a smile on her face and a handful of dresses. “Come on, we don’t have all night!” Mavy said.
• “We’ll be here all night if we have to try on all the dresses here,” I said.
