Dmitri

Sky is clutching the box we retrieved from the bank like her life is depending on it. She has not spoken a word since we got back into the car, but I don't break the silence. I don't need to read her mind to know she is pensive about what might be inside. That it might be from her parents.

After breaking the curse, I gathered from Rene and Ally that Sky had been remembering more and more of her childhood with her parents. Older memories faded for those of us who didn't suffer from amnesia, whereas for Sky as they came back to her, they appeared new.

Luckily, as if pre-empting this situation, the accommodation I arranged was in a quiet and secluded area. The calming nature of the location was definitely something I knew Sky would appreciate and love.

We pull off the main road, the dirt road kicking up dust behind us as we make our way down a long road with large trees on both sides, the joining of branches across the road creating a beautiful canopy. Sky gasps, her hand coming up to cover her mouth as we approach a large double-story log cabin. The massive glass windows of the second story overlook the driveway while a balcony can be seen wrapping around the side of the house, forming a big deck that circled the house, overlooking the mountain and forest on the other side.

"Wow. Dmitri, this place is gorgeous!" Sky says in astonishment as I pull up in front of the cabin. Not waiting for me to open the door for her, she exits the vehicle, the look on her face outwardly expressing her awe.

I grab our bags from the back, placing them at the front door as I fish the keys out. Sky's excitement is palpable as she waits for me to open the door, her face one of shock as she enters, the box still clutched tightly against her chest. The opposite side of the bottom floor is made entirely of glass sliding doors that open up onto a wooden deck with a hot tub and infinity pool which appears to drop off the edge of the cliff below. The space inside is open plan with a kitchen on one side and a cozy-looking lounge area on the other. A large dining table is situated just on the inside of the sliding doors, the ideal view to accompany any meal.

"This is really luxurious. I don't know why I'm so taken aback, your old house is also on this level, this is just different. Is the pool heated?" she asks, making her way to the sliding doors to take in the view.

"It is indeed," I say as I bring our bags in, heading upstairs as she follows, the large wooden staircase on the right side of the room leading up onto a large banister that overlooks the bottom area. The similarity to my old house is not lost on me and I hope this doesn't evoke horrible memories for Sky. The smile lighting up her whole face tells me it doesn't.

We enter what must be the main bedroom, large sliding doors similarly opening up onto a large balcony. The view downstairs, if possible, pales in comparison. I drop our bags off next to the large king-size bed, making my way to the doors as I open them, Sky following me out into the cool night air. She is free of the box, which she has placed somewhere inside.

"Wow, I feel like I'm in a fairy tale. This place is exquisite. Who owns it?" Sky asks, her hands resting on the wooden railing keeping us from toppling over the edge.

"Andrea. You have met him before though you won't remember him. An old friend of mine. He is part of the High Council now, a vampire elder. We're actually attending an event he is hosting tomorrow night."
