I made a deal with myself when I got here, to Darrow. The deal was, if I go out at night, I don't go alone. I go with Ronan. I didn't go with Ronan. I'm going to regret it.
It's late before it gets dark now in Darrow, and knowing that, I've pushed it. And tonight's the night pushed turned to pushed too far. Now I'm lost on my way back to the Pig and I'm not the only one in this alley. There's something here with me.
No, not just with me. It's following me; stalking me, like I'm an animal. It's been a while since I felt this weird kind of anxiousness. Since the last time I'd visited Cabeswater. And I'll be damned if the memory of the sound of a hole filled with buzzing doesn't try to creep in even as I slam back down on it.
"Leave me alone," I say. I don't know why. Because I don't know what else to do, and maybe a show of boldness will convince whatever it is to leave me be. In my head, I can almost even convince myself something like that could work.
