Heaven and Hell Chapter 3 Pt. 50 (Patreon)

Alice's footsteps fell silent for a moment and Nathan wondered what had happened, but used the brief pause to reach the foot of her bed. At least for a few seconds, he felt a little safer. Cautiously, he ventured a glance around the corner. 

Alice's body loomed high above him in the distance. She looked up at her cell phone, slightly annoyed. Even though Nathan was glad for the convenient distraction , he couldn't deny the feeling that Alice somehow didn't care about him. His presence no longer felt human but rather like that of a toy that had been forgotten under the bed.
