Grace sneered angrily, her shoulders moving up and down by several inches as she breathed heavily between clenched teeth. She clenched her fists tightly, causing even more blood to trickle out of her wound. The deep red blood streamed down Grace's pale hands and splattered against the floor, forming a miniature puddle of blood underneath her hands. Grace flinched when she heard a voice, her muscles stiffening if the surprise of hearing another person. She turned her head slightly, but only just enough to look back at Astrik out of the corner of her eye. "And why would you care?" Grace hissed, her eyes narrowing. Her dark eyes became tinted with a faint shade of red, but it grew steadily across her eyes until her iris' had turned completely red. The bed in the far corner of the room began to shake, rattling and trembling violently. Grace's eyes narrowed, her gaze focused upon Astrix, but, the more intense her glare became the more the bed began to shake.

Bo sat quietly up against the wall of the hallway, his back pressed against the wall. He sighed, running a hand back slowly through his thick blonde hair, his fingernails scraping against his scalp as he pushed his hand to the back of his head. Bo stopped his hand, resting it lightly on the back of his neck. He could feel his warm hand up against his flesh, but something was different. The heat emitting off of his hand was somehow edged with a metallic like coldness. As if somehow there was a slab of metal beneath his skin. Bo turned his gaze down to the floorboards of the hallway, looking at his shadow that the overhanging lights cast. But, it wasn't long before he heard a faint click-clack against the floorboards. He tensed, his breath catching in his chest. Bo swallowed down hard, afraid that one of the guards had found him. But, the sound wasn't like that of footsteps, it was somehow lighter. His eyebrows furrowed together, noticing a shadow creeping across the floorboards and towards him. Bo frowned, the shadow didn't seem human. The shadow appeared to belong to some sort of animal... He whipped his head up, hearing a soft mew coming from in front of him. Bo's eyes widened, seeing the snow leopard in front of him. He looked the immense black and white feline up and down; it was indeed beautiful, but it brought Bo a slight sensation of discomfort. Bo looked at the snow leopard, worried that it would attempt to attack him. He tensed yet again, trying to remain motionless in the presence of the magnificent feline.
