Bite Me

[chapter six]

[Hol • ly]

Holly laid in her bed, she had just left the Fowl manor but something was still bugging her and she couldn't understand why. He didn't feed on her, and said that it didn't happen often, so why did he spare her? Was it because she wasn't good enough or that he felt-- bad?-- for going to feed on her? It hurt Holly's head as she tried to figure out the reason why, but she wanted to know. Frankly, she is glad she wasn't fed on but that doesn't mean she won't want to know why.

Just forget about it, she mentally yelled at herself, but it wasn't a possibility. The great thing about this, though, was that no one else in the LEP knew but her. Which meant, she can focus on this in secret without getting scolded by Root. Unless he manages to find out, Holly hasn't been very good at hiding things from him. It's almost like he has a device in her brain that reads her thoughts, but luckily that's not true.

It was almost five a.m., as she returned home rather late due to her refusing a ride from Dom. Holly knew it would have been fast, buy she didn't want to be near them anymore. Her feet ached from walking, but bandages were now around her wrists so they didn't hurt so much. She had to go to work soon, so there was no point in falling asleep now. Root would be mad at one, she stayed up all night and two, she's injured.

Oh fu... I can't tell him this happened, but there's no way I can get away with just saying in a fight. Holly rubbed her eyes roughly and felt like screaming, or at least trying to, in frustration. Hopefully she can just slip into HQ without disturbing anyone, but who knows. Some days, the common area is packed with officers Holly wouldn't mind if she never talked to go again.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Her alarm clock blared loudly, hurting her ears as she brought a hand over, blinding hitting where her alarm clock was. Now it was officially five a.m., and officially time to get to work. That didn't appeal to her, considering yesterday Root said that she was going to have to do paperwork all day.

Just get through one day, you can do it, she mentally encouraged herself as she slipped on her uniform. It hugged her body tightly but wasn't uncomfortable for the most part. All officers have to wear tight suits, so it wasn't like she was the only who had to suffer this. Sliding on her boots, Holly noticed a small note on her desk which she had no idea how long it was there or how it got there. The Hell? Did someone break into my house?

Holly laced up her boots quickly and grabbed the note and opened it, the handwriting was neat but the message inside was grim.

I heard that you were a VL, how curious. An LEP officer, a VL.

~O

A cold shiver was sent down her spine, who the Hell was this person? And what is an 'VL'? Holly bit her lip and crumpled up the note, hoping that it was just someone trying to scare her. Though the possibility wasn't that high, as the pranks against her went down after she managed to show everyone who doubted her up.
