And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie) novel Chapter 318

As the giggle escaped her, we made our way towards a small bar area in the far back right corner of the hall where a pretty brunette with golden eyes stood handing out cups of drinks to students in line. The entire place seemed like an upscale resort with the way staff seemed to maintain everything, at least from what I had seen so far.

"What can I get you ladies today?" The brunette woman said with a razor sharp smile. Her fanged teeth caught me off guard as my eyes widened in surprise by the sight of them. I hadn't meant to stare, but when she frowned at me I quickly realized I was.

"I'm sorry… I just—I'll take a coffee with cream, no sugar, please."

"Overwhelming?" she replied finishing my sentence.

"Yeah, something like that." I nodded as we turned and made our way towards an empty table. I didn't want to seem awkward, but shit… this place was more than overwhelming and honestly, I just wanted to go back to bed.

"Trixie!" an annoyingly sweet voice said with a slight bit of amusement. I watched Trixie's shoulders tense for a moment before we both turned and took in the overly prideful figure of a girl with golden blonde hair and fiery golden red eyes. "Is this her?"
