Ka returned to the real world.
He found himself on the bed, staring at the familiar ceiling.
Since he didn't enter the House of Night through normal means, he couldn't set the time when he would wake up. The night was already thicker now; he could feel it—so he quickly sat and scooted to the edge of the bed.
Dorian must've been waiting for him right about now.
Not to mention, Bree would also be doing the same thing.
And he didn't want to get an earful from either of them for being late.
"I always wonder how Talitha managed to carry me to the bed," Kai looked at the partition separating the room; beyond it was Talitha's personal space. He stood up and went to check— finding Talitha sleeping soundly. "Must've been tiring for her to sleep like that."
Kai shook his head and wore his uniform again.
It's time for him to hunt.
As he grabbed the Blood-phantom Scimitar, he reached for his pocket and took out something.
Took out the cluster of Dark-Eyed Grapes.
