Chapter 36

"Are you sure this is where Rhea lives?" Eve asked as they approached the house.

The house alone was very dark in terms. It was practically hidden out of sight. No path that led up to it, unlike the Noir Estate.

"I'm positively sure", Cleo responded. Eve took this as her sign to knock on the massive doors, waiting for a response.

"Hello?" a woman spoke as she opened the door, showing a bit of her face.

"Does Rhea Sloane live here?" Eve asked, trying to see what was inside the house.

"She does but she's not home. Now run along", the woman said as she closed the door. What a bitch.

"Rhea's mum is weird", Cleo stated. "I've only spoken to her twice. There's something odd about her. She's too quiet".

Eve and Cleo began to guide their way through the dark woods, looking for the location of their party. Eve sighed as she noticed a mansion, hidden well from any sort of civilization.

"That's the Malfoy Manor", Cleo whispered. "Abraxas and his family live there".

"Obviously", Eve muttered. "Have you ever been in there?"

"Once", Cleo spoke. "Abraxas snuck me in so we could fuck. It was nice".

"Cool", Eve said. Her eyes began to scan the mansion, the windows seemingly empty except for one.

There stood a figure in all black, staring out the window. They must have noticed Eve because they kept staring at her as she hurried by, tugging Cleo along with her.

"Come on Cleo", Eve muttered. "Let's go get fucked up".

Tom stared out the window as Eve and Cleo disappeared into the dark woods. He felt his heart tug a bit, his fear of losing her growing in him. The urge to leave the manor and walk her through the woods tempted him, so she could be safe, but he couldn't show his weaknesses in front of his future army.

"Is everything alright my Lord?" Robert asked as he sat up. Tom turned around, making eye contact with Mulciber.

"Yes", Tom spoke. "Everything is alright".

He slowly paced across the room, finally deciding his answer on what to do.

"I have made up my mind", he announced.

"This is it?" Eve asked, the tone of uncertainty clear in her voice. The two girls stood in front of a house that seem quite rubbish on the exterior.

"They always have the best drugs here", Cleo smiled as the door opened. A man with a brown sweater and black pants opened the door.

"Cleo!" he smiled. "You came".

"Of course I would", Cleo smirked. "This is Evie".

The man turned to stare at Eve, eyeing her up and down. He then stuck out his hand for her to shake.

"Maurice", he greeted. Eve gave him a half smile, shaking his hand. He stood by the door as the two girls entered, the smell of beer and marijuana becoming more apparent. Eve looked around the massive room, people were spread all across the room. The feeling of warm bodies clashing into her as Cleo and Eve walked through the crowd was intoxicating.

"How much for that bag?" Cleo asked as she pointed to a small baggie filled with white powder. Eve stared at it, her mind drifting off.

Eve felt someone tap on her shoulder. She turned around, seeing a man smiling at her as he held her a tube formed out of money. She took it from him, observing it. Her eyes focused on Cleo, who was separating the powder into lines.
