Chapter 41 Eaves Dropping

• Kieran's POV
• I pressed my back against the door, the moment I shut it behind me. I'd slammed the door so loud it rattled in its hinges. I was sure the loud noise it had made could be heard throughout the halls and probably down at the dining room, but I wasn't sure I cared. My heart thundered in my chest and every effort at trying to calm it down failed.
• The more I tried not to think about it, the more the thoughts swarmed in my mind. Beads of sweat lined the top of my forehead, and I could feel its slimy residue snaking down my face. As it cascaded down, it mixed with the salty tears that slipped from my eyes.
