Star isnt sure of the time when she awakens. Erik is still asleep and she decides to go downstairs and see if anyone else is awake yet. She has started on her drawing of Cassie and she wants to find someone to take her to the art store. She slips quietly out of bed, not wanting to disturb Erik and tries to find her clothes. She puts her jeans on and unable to find her top she pulls out a clean t-shirt of Eriks and puts that on.
She leaves the room and goes downstairs, her bare feet silent on the wood floors. As she approaches the bar she hears and sees the commotion the demifae are causing. Inari is there speaking with Gareth, Monty is lining up several bottles on the bar and the demifae are buzzing noisily overhead.
Inari turns and smiles at her. “Hello. I trust you rested well.”
Star nods and watches the swarm, wondering what has them all riled.
Watching Star Inari thinks, She really doesnt look like what one expect from a prophecy. In her husbands shirt and bare feet she looks all of twelve. And now we have to be even more careful, that fruit basket was sent directly to her and laced with Bloodbane too. Who in their right mind would go after Star? The vampire may have enemies, but Star?
Right then Mya flits down and lands on Stars shoulder. She throws her arms around Stars cheek and kisses her. “Not to worry. Mya loves Star. Mya tastes all Stars food. No poison get to Star.”
Star freezes and looks at Inari, “What dd..does she mean? Whats going on?”
Gareth clears his throat and starts to explain to Star about the fruit basket that had her name on it and how it was poisoned, the same poison that almost killed Nick.
Her eyes wide, Star fights back tears, “I want to go home, to our cabin..”
Inari puts an arm around her, “Actually, you are probably safer here, where there are more people around..”
“I dd..dont care. I want to go home. Why would anyone want to poison me? I havent dd..done anything to anyone... How am I going to tell Erik about this?”
No one had noticed Erik coming down the stairs, everyone's attention was focused on Star. As he came up behind her he asked, “Tell me about what?”
